As for the age thing...dude..it could be way more drastic....my dad just turned 59 this past June and damn if my youngest brother isn't even five years old. My kids all arrived at bizarre and unexpected points in my life. Points I could have never forseen occuring at any point in my history leading up to them. Had one of these events, these milestones in my journey from there to here been altered somewhere along the way it could have all wound up so differently. I could be sitting somewhere else. I could have one kid, or ten, or none. Irregardless of whatever might have been it sure as hell would not have been this, what I have now, and the thought of that is unacceptable to me, the mere suggestion that any alternative to THESE children at THIS point in MY life, the life we built on sweat and wishes, makes me shudder. It makes me live without regrets. Love your babies. build your memories, your traditions, fill out their lives with all that mommy magic brewing deep down inside. I guarantee you that they won't give a damn how old you are when they are ten, or twenty, or thirty. They will want to know: DO you you love them? Can you read them a story; give them a snack; spare a twenty; loan them the car; would you mind babysitting the grandkids? Your boys are lucky. Like dream babies. They lived so long inside your heart before they came to live inside your womb that how could they ever be anything other then loved beyond all measure. No matter what age their parents are they are sure to feel nothing but comfort and security in the knowledge that they are cherished above all else within your eyes. high-risk pregnancies are indeed quite an experience..one day in the faraway when I’m off all my meds [reasons for medicating not related to my children though the way they act sometimes it's a wonder they are not ;) ] I’ll settle down with a nice big glass of wine and we can bitch about it together.

Your twins are sooo adorable! Vag AND c-section? Holy Moly, lady, you're my hero! I had my baby 5 weeks early too--but didn't have pre-eclempsia. He just wanted out. It was scary.

I do not miss anything about the third trimester. During the first trimester you were nauseous for 10 weeks straight and ate mostly Saltines and mild soups. The second trimester was best--we went on vacation to Maine even. p.s. I love that photo of you in the striped shirt and yellow hat. Looks like your grandparents' house.
