I’m still alive, and no longer pregnant. My sons were born last week on 1/22/09, at 35 weeks and 1 day, due to preeclampsia.
We are all home, and we are all perfectly fine after a fairly hairy birthing experience. I will post all the gory details, I promise, when I am up to it. So far it’s a week into my sons’ lives and my recovery so energy has been a little lacking, as I’m sure is obvious.
I am still dealing with that GOD DAMNED tendonitis – which believe it or not, is now the worst of my physical complaints. I am wearing special braces for it but they make typing really, really difficult (if less painful). I’m taking more typos than a 9th grader’s text message. So I’ll really keep this one brief and just share this:
Yes, they are totally delicious. Yes, I am just insanely happy. Looking at them opens up new universes for me, every time I do it. And I do it all day long.
Thanks to you all for being there and supporting me through all of this.
I can’t help but feel the world is filled with love after all.
Type at you soon.

Oh my gosh. I needed a smile and opening this blog post from you absolutely did it! What gorgeous little men… you are so lucky. I just want to lean through the computer and plant kisses on their little noses.

Thanks so much for the well wishes everyone! We are all hanging in here and doing great – they will be 2 weeks old tomorrow! I plan to start blogging again when I can get my tendonitis better managed. Right now lifting the kids is making it a bit worse…
