Our twins had their 2nd birthday last week! I was so happy! Only 7 people showed up but that was ok. I really hadn't planned on many people showing up since it was the 2nd birthday.
Our little girl had so much fun at her party yesterday. She has added new clothes, a trike, and a mechanical puppy to the list of things mommy must clean up each night. She loved the cake and kept sticking her fingers in the icing. It wasn't such a big deal either since there were very few guests and I could easily cut around those pieces.
She is happy and excited about her new toys. Yay!
We still miss our little boy and I wish he could have been there with us. His birthday present was a pretty green carnation (daddy's favorite color).

Good news!
I haven't been on for a while; things have been busy.
I went into early labor late June 13th. They gave me steroids for the baby's lungs and stadol, which stopped the labor, but the next morning I was back after a serious reaction. I spent the whole day 10:00-21:00 in the Hospital because of the severity of the reaction I could not eat, sleep, or get up. It was horrible. Around 17:00 they saw a big improvement but kept me for a few hours of observation.
Surprise, I went back into labor.
After sending me over to L&D, feeding me, and giving me liquids (all I had had all day was a few IVs) the labor again stopped. They gave me my second steroid shot and sent me home.
That has been pretty much all the drama. Since then I've had some Braxton Hicks but no real labor. So happy days! I have passed the Magic date of when we lost Matthew and I'm coming so close when I delivered last time! I think I'll go full term!
Hooray!

June 8th and the Doctor's appointment
June 8th, 2009 is the day we lost out son. This year June 8th, 2011 will be the second anniversary of his passing. It was also a doctor's appointment for our youngest.
After doing everything in the world to prevent myself from leaving the house this year, I did have to venture out. We have the same OB as last time and although she is very kind she had forgotten what day Matthew had died. I'm not sure if the info is in my chart but I can't blame her; I have a thick chart and she has many patients.
It was a bit or a relief to hear his heart beat strongly on that day. I'm almost glad I went in.
Perhaps God was holding my hand this year and just wanted to show me everything is ok.
