Geee, it must be great to lounge around all day in bed, eating bon-bons, watching TV, maybe switching it up every now and again and playing a computer game, and then flipping from your left to your right side.
So great in fact that you’re worried every time you roll over that your going to rip your cerclage out. When you eat laying down you spill the contents of your food on the bed….and you. Luckily you avoid hot liquids. It must be great to get sore from lying down all day. Oh! Then there is the worry over blood clots, loss of muscle mass, depression and a continual feeling of isolation being confined to your bed. Only getting to see the outside world when you leave for your doctors appointment. Even better for you is that, once an active participant in your family, now you watch from the sidelines and only get to participate should your family decide to grace you with their presence.
Best of all, the fear that every time you stand up, your babies are going to slip out tearing your cerclage along the way. Yay! Happy Thanksgiving to you….again and again. Oh, and I know how much you love to cry. Crying because of the overwhelming pressure on you. Crying because of the pain. Crying because less than 1% of the population can even understand what you are going through. Crying because today is Alex’s birthday and he’s not here to celebrate it with us. Crying because in just another week, it’s Chris’ birthday and she won’t be here to celebrate it either. Crying because November is the worst month in history and knowing that it might just get worse before it’s over.
Geeee, you must be having the time of your life.
Happy Birthday Xander.
Thanks Honey
I knew there was a reason that I love you. I am going to go eat some bon bons now.
Hey guys, I hope you don’t mind the intrusion, but I just wanted you to know I’m thinking about you both and I’m glad to know you’re thismuch closer to your happy little babies arriving (I like the little monitor in the corner
), and even though you’re stuck at home feeling disconnected, we’re still out here rooting for you.
Thanks Hülya. You’re not intruding.
We appreciate the thought. When this is all over and the twins are here we really do need to get together. It has been too long.
That would be fantastic.
– In the meantime, let us know if you need anything or if we can come up to visit – I know it gets crazy with the holidays coming up, but I’m sure Tim and I can make it up sometime since you guys can’t get out… Board games? Movies? My signed and drawn-on copy of the Dream Hunters by Neil Gaiman for your viewing pleasure?
