Things are on my mind. I have a hard time talking about them. I hate my own failures.<BR/><BR/>My job is actually wonderful. I love it and am perfectly content. It's my escape. So there's always that. And Jonah, of course.<BR/><BR/>Good luck to you today (or tomorrow).

As for our wildly beloved daughters for whom nothing will ever be the same, we both have to keep remembering that we have given them so much already, and that the thing they will be most grateful to us for is that we gave them a sibling.<BR/><BR/>I look forward to your good news!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12741339416436710712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-45058912564206242982008-02-16T14:57:00.000-05:002008-02-16T14:57:00.000-05:00thinking of you!thinking of you!katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536809590856333391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-81576501836439924582008-02-15T21:36:00.000-05:002008-02-15T21:36:00.000-05:00I'd lost track of how close you are to "the end". ...I'd lost track of how close you are to "the end". You sound like you have such a good sense of what to fear ... I feel like I walked into the whole "completely changed relationship with older child" bit oblivious to what was about to hit. Then again, seems like some people find it easier than expected, that transition. I hope you're one of them.carohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771333861395563193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188998.post-53184708671286430282008-02-15T19:21:00.000-05:002008-02-15T19:21:00.000-05:00Oh good luck!

And it is magic.<BR/><BR/>I identify with your reservations, though. I detest change and I am terribly nostaligc. I am forever clinging to little moments, begging them to last longer. It's no wonder that I still only have one child, cannot commit to having another one. Certainly there is more to it than just that, but giving up the idyllic trio that we are just seems overwhelmingly sad. Even though I know we'd make a lovely four. I keep hoping that one day I'll embrace the idea of four completely.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.

I wish for you a few good nights of sleep before your sons' birth, a not-too-terrible sleep schedule after, a safe surgery, and easy recovery. Even though the first few days after the c-section are rough, remember that you will be feeling much better soon. The cumbersome feeling and painful hips (and everywhere else) of pregnancy do fade quickly.<BR/><BR/>As for the emotional part, I remember that so well. Nowhere to go but through it, but parenting two will be everything you described and so much more. It can be hard, but so much more rich than I thought possible, especially when I see two of the little people I love most in this world loving on each other. Those are the moments you'll cherish, and they don't happen as infrequently as you may think.<BR/><BR/>Best wishes to you, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you on the "other side." :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129622351222950426noreply@blogger.com
