It's been a few days since I posted last; things are about the same as they were at my last post. The babies are still doing well and my cervix seems to be holding up well too; I think my doctors are shocked that we're still here. C. continues to push me along, wanting to get 10 more weeks out of me. I think that is a bit over ambitious but we'll go as far as we possibly can. Today marks 24 weeks and 3 days.
It's been a tough few days emotionally ~ being in the hospital definitely takes it's toll. I miss the outside world tremendously but just have not had the spirit or strength to reach out just yet. I miss work, I miss friends and I miss family - so much. It's amazing how hard it is being removed from the real world. I am not looking for sympathy or complaining, just trying to get my arms around how I will get back into the swing of things once the time comes and I get out of the hospital. Not being in your own home for an extended period is very strange - and without your own things. I most definitely have a true appreciation for my life and everything in it. One might think that this is just a short vacation but not the same. I miss my kitties like crazy - and just miss the simple things like sleeping in bed with my husband and having a quick dinner together.
Daily I feel guilty for being out of touch with people - but right now, I don't have the energy to reach out. That said, I hope that any of you who have been keeping up via this blog understand how much each and every one of you mean to me and how much I can't wait to get back to real life someday. For now, this is my job - to grow babies. And boy, let me tell you, they are growing! As we speak there is a big fat head poking out of the left side of my belly - Baby C certainly has a mind of his own!
Thank you for your continued emails, emotional support and cheerleading. I do read your messages daily - although I don't always have it in me to respond, I want you all to know how much your messages mean to me. I am blessed to have so many understanding people surrounding me who care enough to continue to cheer us on. THANK YOU!

Katie--What can I say? You are doing great. Wish I could send you a few books or something. I have some great ones. Anyway, know I am praying for you and thinking about your boys. God can do miracles. I am seeing it happen with your boys. Praying that all of you continue to be safe, healthy, and know that you are loved. I can't imagine what you are going through in the hospital. I would LOVE to sneak in your kitties and bring some ice cream to cheer you up. Some day maybe....

Kate,
Impressive doesn't begin to define what kind of mother you are. This blog is the essence of a mother's love. Keep it always and forever. You are in my thoughts everyday! Keep up the great work and we'll continue to pray for you all!
