I heard Michelle's voice crack when she was telling how they learned the gender. YOu know she broke down there and they edited it so the next line she sounded all put together. Poor woman.

I heard that too. I can't imagine having to film all of this...I'm happy I was in a drug-induced fog the day Campbell was born...
DH says..she seems so tired...All I could think was... MAG!
Cupcakes here!
at first the mag made me flip out like crazycakes flip out. It was not pretty. I tried to reason with my doctor that I was ok and I had to go home because it was too early.
I wish they'd have spent more time in the hospital discussing the health issues.. less time on the other kids. But other than that, I was okay with it.
I think they had to balance the "good" with the "bad" but I would have liked to see more at the hospital. At least they didn't sugar coat how serious pre-e is.
My DH on the other hand couldn't watch. He announced he was going to bed the first time they showed little Josie. I only made it because I am nursing off a clogged duct and little Gunner is rolling front to back, back to front cooing and gaa gaaing right near me.
I didn't expect to be sobbing this hard but then when they showed everyone looking at this teeny tiny little thing in the incubator and she looked EXACTLY like Evan, who was only 1oz bigger, I completely lost it.
I liked it. It's a continuation of their lives, their show, showing the older kids and the dichotomy of real life moving on while the world stops inside the NICU. We'll see what the next episode brings. It's not the end of the story by far. I'll be sobbing next week too.
The hardest part for me was and still is the sight of them huddled around the isolette. It reminded me so much of us looking at Campbell in her isolette and seeing it on TV made me realize how unnatural that was. Your first view of a baby shouldn't be through plexiglass with cords coming out of every appendage. DH kept asking me if I was ok and I finally had to YELL at him to shut up and leave me alone. Hormones, much?
Re: Viewing party
D@amn I miss wine...I'll be joining the party and sure to be a hormonal mess. I cried watching the clip from nbc.com...
I'm currently drinking white wine and just age some dark icelandic chocolate with peanut butter. We must be bossom buddies!
clearly the wine has already started to take effect...I meant to write "just HAD some dark icelandic..."
LOL! Then you should be in prime form a half hour from now when it starts.

I'm thankful for them because it gives me a chance to dry my eyes.?
I didn't even think about her being on mag. SO TRUE!?

The first time when it was just the gallbladder thing was enough to get me...
