Tomorrow

Well it looks like tomorow will be the big day. I am pretty emotional today just thinking about the fact that these babies will be here tomorrow. The doc says they will probably stay in the NICU for 2-3 weeks. I am OK with that because I really need time to heal from my c section before they come home. I just can't believe it's here!

I will update when I can. Thank you for all the positive messages and prayers.

Amy: I can't wait to hear all about it. My babies were born at 33w5d. They spent a couple of weeks in the NICU to learn to eat. Other than that, they didn't need any other type of assistance. You have done an amazing job growing those babies!; October 7, 2010 at 4:15 PM
Angie: Sending best wishes and lots of luck tomorrow!; October 7, 2010 at 5:33 PM
Valerie: Good luck! I can't wait to hear about your delivery. I hope your recovery goes really quickly and the babies are home before you know it.; October 7, 2010 at 7:04 PM
Miss Megan: Meghan you have done a WONDERFUL job growing these little ones! I understand being emotional - I absolutely would be too! We were admitted to L&D the same day you were, but they were able to slow my contractions (again), so I got to go home a day later. I'm dilated to 3.5 though, so my little ladies could come literally at any time. It's scary and emotional, and exciting (did I say scary already???!!!) all at the same time. Just know that you did an EXCELLENT job momma, and your babies are going to be just perfect! A couple weeks in the NICU (while it may seem like a long time while it's happening) is really nothing in the long run!
I can't wait to meet your little ones, and I am sure you will do perfectly with your C-section! Praying for you and rooting you on hun!!! Update when you can!; October 7, 2010 at 7:06 PM
Jacky: So excited for you! Praying for a safe and healthy and uneventful delivery!! And healthy babies!!

Can't wait to see pictures of them.

"Thoughts on Becoming a Mother"

There are women that become mothers without effort, without thought, without patience or loss and though they are good mothers and love their children, I know that I will be better.

I will be better not because of genetics, or money or that I have read more books, but because I have struggled and toiled for this child. I have longed and waited. I have cried and prayed. I have endured and planned over and over again. Like most things in life, the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams.

I will notice everything about my child. I will take time to watch my child sleep, explore and discover. I will marvel at this miracle every day for the rest of my life. I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold and feed him and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream. My dream will be crying for me.

I count myself lucky in this sense; that God has given me this insight, this special vision with which I will look upon my child that my friends will not see. Whether I parent a child I actually give birth to or a child that God leads me to, I will not be careless with my love. I will be a better mother for all that I have endured. I am a better wife, a better aunt, a better daughter, neighbor, friend and sister because I have known pain. I know disillusionment as I have been betrayed by my own body, I have been tried by fire and hell many never face, yet given time, I stood tall. I have prevailed. I have succeeded. I have won.

So now, when others hurt around me, I do not run from their pain in order to save myself discomfort. I see it, mourn it, and join them in theirs. I listen. And even though I cannot make it better, I can make it less lonely. I have learned the immerse power of another hand holding tight to mine, of other eyes that moisten as they learn to accept the harsh truth and when life is beyond hard. I have learned a compassion that only comes with walking in those shoes.I have learned to appreciate life.Yes, I will be a wonderful mother."
