So Sad...

[Summersmom360]

OK so I've been really hormonal for several days now and every little thing (good and bad) makes me tear up. Today I went to Burlington Coat Factory to look at double strollers and I found one I liked that will hold 2 carseats (sold separately of course!) for $139 so that made me happy. I walked around some more and saw dispoable cameras that said "Just Born" in girl colors and teared up. I found the ones for baby boys. I'm getting so excited to meet our little boys! Then I decided to go look at the baby boy clothes. My husband loves little boy suits and I found some in premie size. My first thought was why would they make premie 3-piece suits? And then I thought these would make good coming home outfits or christening outfits. Then it hit me--what if the little boys didn't survive and they needed suits that small to be buried in. I almost really broke down. I'm scared our babies might not make it because they will probably be born early and need to be the NICU. I'm trying not to get too attached until they are really here. (I was the same way with Summer and she came out fine.) But I do love them and can't wait to meet them. I'm just scared.

It's okay to have those fears! I think it is so normal for all pregnant women to have those types of fears on one level or another. But keep in mind the nurses and doctors have so many technologies and equipment at their fingertips to take care of those little bundles of joy that I'm positive they will be fine! You are in my thoughts and prayers :-)

Just so you know, my maternal GREAT grandmother had 5 (FIVE) sets of twins in the mountains of Norway. Many years ago, and at home...having twins does not mean you have to have a high intervention birth.
