Hey! Thanks for your thoughts on my shower post. So sorry to hear that you have so much insight on the subject because of your loss. I think we think alike though. Part of me really doesn't want a shower. That part of me wants to be sure that LO is safely here before we celebrate but the other part of me just wants people to want to throw me a shower. Ugh...So many emotions. DH and I have talked about it and we will probably have a meet the baby party. That way, we both can take part in (what we hope) will be celebration of our LO. I hear you too on hitting a turning point. I really have been closed off for this entire pregnancy and I think that finally, last week, at 33 1/2 weeks, was when I started to take the turn and get a tiny bit excited. Thanks again for your responses.

    :)  Thanks for not minding that I said those things!  I just couldn't help myself, having been there. . . it's just something that no one who hasn't been there can understand, kwim?  And even those of us who have been there all deal and cope and process and manage differently!  *Sigh*  That's what makes it so difficult- and also, I realize now, what makes it so difficult for those around us to know what to do.

    My first pg after our twins was really a brutal time for me.  I think I would have preferred just lock myself up at home and hide my way through it :)  There's just so many things to try to balance - not slighting the twins, not slighting the little one I was then carrying, optimism vs realism/fear. . . ugh!!! 

    I will tell you this, though - the day he was born, I had no regrets about the prior 9 months.  Shower or no shower. . . . celebrate or not. . . put up the crib ahead of time or not. . . pics of me pg or not. . . none of it mattered.  Promise :) 

    GL to you!!
