Memories
Today I am 23 weeks and 6 days pregnant. On this day, during my pregnancy with Holland and Eden, I started having contractions 2-3 minutes apart. I went to L&D and found out I was already dilated to 4 and having twins. I kept them inside for 4 intense days before they were born much too soon. And so it began...
I can't even write about it without crying. So many memories and emotions that I have spent the last 7 years coming to peace with are all right at the surface as I relive those days in vivid detail.
On a positive note, I am feeling good. Loving my pregnant body and the feeling of a tiny baby moving inside of me. It's surreal to imagine it ending so soon. I'm still adjusting to the idea of being pregnant and having another baby in the first place!!

Wow Pregnant!!!! Scuse me for being so slow to the news but I only check in to your blog now and again - I am SO happy for you - and in fact it is even better to find out now at this enormous milestone or I would have been worrying with you. Hmm - but now you are going to make me want another one! My two have just turned four - I was debating a dog but... !!
Really fabulous news and will be thinking of you a lot over next weeks
YAY for unchartered territory!!Enjoy all those things you didn't last time- full out maternity clothes, even that yucky glucose test. Then... the 3rd trimester! SO happy for you.

Wishing you comfort and peace as you go on each day past this auspicious milestone...
I think there will be healing that you didn't even imagine. Praying for all good things.
I ordinarily only lurk, but just had to comment here. I feel for you. One of the scariest things I have ever done was have another baby AFTER my preemie. It was 9 months of emotional turmoil, to say the least. There were even panic attacks when I reached the stage (25 weeks) when I had problems the first time. But it WAS 9 months!! I hope the same for you and your family.
Sending positive vibes for a long and safe pregnancy: your daughters will be wonderful big sisters!
It's awesome that it's going so well. I hope you get to that irritating stage of just wanting the baby out because you're so uncomfortable, because if you get there then you're in a good place!!
