Today we are celebrating!! I am 27 weeks, and at the exact same day I had the twins. Today is the day where I say goodbye to my second trimester and enter the third. . . a trimester the twins never had. People ask me if it is emotionally hard to approach this day of my pregnancy. My answer is NO! This day only helps to spotlight the remarkable outcome of the twins. How did they both make it out of that NICU without being prepped with steroids before their birth? How is it possible that they are thriving in Kindergarten, smart, sweet and infectiously happy? These are questions I can't answer but take time to ask so I can feel the emotional journey of the last six years. I am so very thankful and so very lucky!
Today, we are celebrating my health! I went to the doctor today and am normal and healthy. Only my history sets me apart from a typical pregnancy. I was told today that my history is significant so while we continue to celebrate this uneventful pregnancy, it is important to recognize that things can change. We know this and are fully prepared for what comes our way. For now, Baby Girl #4 is doing well and we both look fantastically healthy on paper. In fact, Baby Girl probably weighs what the twins did combined on this same day. She is doing well. We all are anxious to meet her but hope that she will wait to enter this world on her scheduled delivery date when she will be 38 weeks.
Only time will tell.
