What would you have done if I had told you a year ago that your siggy would soon look like THIS?

Baby BOY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Baby GIRL

Crying And *officially* only 100 days left -- it's just flying by. (Easy for me to say, eh?) Not much longer, Mommy!!!

SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Big Smile

aww, this just made me cry. literally, haha! i am tearing up at my desk. it is SO amazing. there are no words... it was not so long ago that i felt the lowest i've ever felt... and i really thought that i would likely never have the experience of pregnancy, let alone TWIN pregnancy! and to be able to bring home our babies in so short a time... i feel blessed beyond belief.

thank you for this post - you are so sweet. (((HUG)))

I think you knew it, you just couldn't let yourself feel it because they weren't growing in your body yet. They were out there, but they just weren't kicking your bladder yet. Wink What I'm trying to say is that your little babies are very lucky to have a mother who refused to give up and who held out hope even in the most painful of times...YET who managed to always be authentically happy for her TTTC friends who, um, had babies kicking their bladders already. Confused Smile

I love your questions about vaginal tearing and LLL and all of that baby living in the big wide world stuff! It's just around the corner.

You look beautiful. And your babies are and will be perfect. And I'm just perfectly content for you. It's all good.

And all of this sounds much better in my head than it reads on the computer today, LOL! But this will make sense -- I love ya, sweetie! Big Smile

it made perfect sense. you are such a great support to me - you always have been. thank you so much i love you too.

now i'm just grinning thinking about the reality of all of this again haha!

Be careful what you wish for! Stick out tongue

Hee hee! But seriously, you really think important things through and you are willing to seek help, so reality will be good. I can't say "all" good because it won't, but it'll be worth it. Think of Angie's quote -- I often do.

BTW, you may want to see my post in the LLL thread below if you haven't already -- just something to be prepared for. I think Michael will be like my DH which is never questioning what he knows is important to you, but just as far as pedis and even LCs surprisingly often questioning a mom's determination to BF. I know you replied there and had a LLL question a week or ago or so. Good for you for being so proactive -- it helps you get a bigger picture, I think!

I'm glad that made sense. Kira's been waking up too early for a couple weeks now and I'm paying the price. But then again, I cold have used *your* DH telling *me* to go to bed last night, so it's my fault too! And I know something's off since I just noticed that I have more posts than you do since the new board began, and I think it's a sign that I need to sleep! Tonight, alchris, tonight.... Wink

TTTC will be 2 years old in the next week or so. Crazy, eh?
