Oh, I'm not worried, but thank you! I have always wanted twins. And not in a novelty sort of way where little girls like to dress the same, but deeply, in a way I can't explain without sounding like a goof. It's truly almost as great as my longing for any child, although of course (especially now) any single child would be beyond miraculous as well.

I actually laughed out loud at God when I found out we would have to do IVF, saying "I didn't HAVE to shoot for multiples"

I appreciate your positive thoughts, though. Even if this is good, of course the hardest part is yet to come... whether or not God decides this is the right time, and allows anything to stick! :~

The night that Alan proposed to me, I had a dream that I gave birth to twin girls. It was so real! I just knew that it would happen. Well, after 7 years of trying, countless infertility treatments, etc., I got pregnant. I knew it was my twins. When the ultrasound showed only one little girl, I was kind of disappointed. Then, 2 years later, Jacob was born. I kind of figured that the twins had just been a "figment" of my overactive imagination. Consequently, I was unprepared for the ultrasound of the twins. However, once they were born, and I was able to look at them, I KNEW they were the twins from my dream! It was one of the truly spiritual moments in my life!

I'm so praying for you! You are going to be the best mom, EVER!!!

I totally agree, Glynis! Multiples are WONDERFUL!!!!! I think God knew I had a horrible time being pg (had 2 m/c- 1st was a single, 2nd was b/g twins), so he let me have triplets so I wouldn't have to do it again. I am so grateful we have our kiddos, and watching the special bond and interaction they have with each other is indeed a blessing from God. I am very lucky to have had this miracle in my life.

I think one of the best things is watching Leslie and Mary together. They can fight like cats and dogs, but let anyone else say an unkind word about the other, and they turn into fierce protectors!!!

I love to watch them head out the door to go play at a friend's house. They are always holding hands, or have their arms around each other. It's so sweet! They are so very close! I know that Katie and Jacob are close, but it's so different with the twins! They instinctively know what the other one is feeling! I used to love watching them talk to each other. They had their own words for things, and it was a chore figuring them out, but they really helped me with that!!! I miss the baby days!!!

Nope, we didn't get too lost! I had a good time for a while, but then was pretty sore. I have likely developed a mild case of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome, which is just some dumb fluid shift that can be really serious but usually isn't, just a bit more painful than a retreival should be. So I was pretty sore after a while. Kyle is at work now, and I'm home FINALLY working on some scrapping.


So I finally just called Dr A directly He was totally cool about it, I just played dumb that I didn't think they would be in tomorrow (yeah right), and that I need to know by Monday for the transfer!

He said he didn't remember the exact number and didn't want to guess, but there was "no problem whatsoever" with fertilization. "Everything was great, and we'll see you on Monday. Call the nurses and have them call you again with the time".

GRR! So, I guess now I know there is more than, say, 1

I guess the waiting continues, but I breathe a bit easier little by little!

That was something I was very familiar with! We did "superovulation" and so I can sympathize with the pain!

Hooray for good news!!!

1 hour to performance time and the is flying your way. Figure it should make it by then. Best of luck LHS!! Cassidy - hope your voice is back so that you can celebrate with everyone.

Well they missed it again by thismuch but it was better for this family that they didn't...Cassidy definitely is in the beginning throes of a cold and I think wind may be a trigger for my migraines...I just awoke from a 2 hour nap.

Yay Jennifer!

I will be continually praying that the implementation goes through without a hitch!

hey Tom do you work tonight?

Nope!

We just got back from going out to eat. Leighanna wanted Chinese, so I said O.K. Of course the only thing she ate was white rice! I could have fixed that here! Too bad that I didn't just eat white rice!

We then headed out to the grocery and DW wanted to stop by the fabric store to "look around". Picked up a couple of Christmas prints. Also, a fine wale corduroy. Not sure what we will come up with.



I finally have bids on both of my items. She is excited and is thinking that if I could do this on the side, then she could possibly quit!
Hmmmmmm... I think I would be more inclined to quit!

Not really, but I can dream!

So the Sam's Day coffee shop thing was a great success! When I drove by at lunch time there were at least 50 people in the parking lot as well as 2 camera crews. Erin said that she saw the same thing the 3 times she drove by throughout the day. When we went at 3pm there were only a few people in line, but by the time we were done getting our order there were at least 25 families in line. We saw tons of Moms and their kids on the way home from school. Another TV crew was interviewing Sam and the organizer at the time. Mom heard them say that usually a $40-$50 day is normal. At that point they had served just over 1,000 orders. The organizer was really surprised at the turnout as well!

We also found out that Sam employs primarily people with disabilities and also donates a portion of the proceeds over month to local charities.

Here's one of the articles on it:

How Cool!!!

I got a call from Chanon this morning. They were supposably double checking what rubber ducky Theresa wanted. It is the haunted mansion one. I really think they were checking to see if I had Virginia yet

I think you are right!!

 

[babytrees]

Ok, so do you want to hear my funny story? Except that my head is going to explode as a result

These are the messages we came home to:

"You have _2_ new messages. First new message:

"Jennifer, this is ___ from Dr A's office. Good news, we found.... end of message "

"Next new message This is a continuation of the first message, sorry. So please arrive to the Christ hospital on End of message

"End of messages."

WHAT?!?! I so have left a message for them, but seriously....?

I'm obviously beaming that it seems we have at least 1 embryo. 1 or 10, who knows. It could look like crap or be perfect, I have no idea.



I'll keep you posted......

ohhh I can see where that would be mind losing!!

Well they missed it again by thismuch but it was better for this family that they didn't...Cassidy definitely is in the beginning throes of a cold and I think wind may be a trigger for my migraines...I just awoke from a 2 hour nap.

Sorry they didn't win! But it sounds like you could all use a break!

Hi, Glynis! I saw the "leg lamp" at Kohl's today. It TALKS! The leg is in the shipping crate and when you open the crate it says lines from the movie! You definitely should get one for Alan!

Tom - I hope SOMEONE gets to quit when your dress making venture takes off! We went to Luby's for dinner after we returned the vile pie. I wanted a birthday cake from Sam's but they didn't have the kind I wanted. (It's nobody's birthday, I just like cake.)

Jennifer - If Chanon calls again you should let it go to voice mail.

Well we're back from the big errand run, you should never go grocery shopping when you haven't eaten.

I told Jim about 6 months ago that I shouldn't go hungry, mad, upset or sick.

He looked at me and said than we'd hardly go would we??

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

I saw that the one dress Tom has is up to almost $30. I got outbid on the lot of pins I was looking at, but I didn't need them. I bid low enough that it would have been miraculous if I won. They don't close until tomorrow, so I could still go back and bid higher but I probably won't.

 

[babytrees]

So after this break I have lasagna, salad, and key lime pie to make. Then I have a flat of mums to put out in the flower beds.

Yummy I did I say love Key Lime Pie???

 

[babytrees]

So I am headed to my moms to drop Olivia off so I can go to work. I get a phone call telling me they dont need me. I make sure they are not going to need me at 7pm before I say okay. So here I am. For a little while. My mom has my nephew today and was getting ready to put him down for a nap hen I called her to say e were not coming just yet. I was not far from the house and had turned around to go put shorts on. So I told her to call us hen he oke up from his nap and I would bring Olivia over to play with him.

So Virginia can come today????

I've had dreams like that!!!

Okay my "babies" are like that too. I have always contended that my girls are twins born 4 years apart. Except they hardly ever fight.

Did I ever tell you all what a lucky mom I am???

Well you would have a lot of custom orders from a certain thread I know
