Pregnant after IF
Yes, my beautiful boys are here.
I will hopefully have some time to write my 'birth story' to you all soon in a better way than what I placed on the blog quickly yesterday night. I have not had access to a computer until just now so I am so sorry I couldn't post on the chat with my iphone.--- I don't even have my darn wallet with me!
I just wanted to say "thank you" for all the T&P and love I, DH and my beautiful, tiny boys received from you these last few days.
It is so unreal. I feel so many things about how this happened.
I was not ready. Not ready to be done being pregnant. Not ready (as excited as I was) to see my boys on the outside.
It went so fast I didn't have time to react or even realize what was lying head of all of us. It's beginning to hit me tonight as I try and pump every two hours for my boys that are across in the NICU. We all have a long way to go so I again thank you and welcome any and all well wishes you are offering.
You ladies are simply amazing. Although I couldn't write back (though I tried many times) I read all of your messages. It was a great gift.
Love to you all.
I'll update when I can! GOOD LUCK TO THE REST OF MY PREGGO LADIES!!! Enjoy EVERY second!
