I'm really thankful for your update.  Congratulations on your  
upcoming twins.  And you will be in my prayers as you have gone  
through so much, especially lately.  Maggie and our Hope would have  
been the same age.  It was hard to think about "what might have  
been."  I'm so sorry that your delivery video reminded you of so many  
things that should not have happened.

Yesterday was our Magdalena's birthday.  This year it was harder than  
in the past. Maggie would have turned 7.  It also was the 3 yr date  
of my MIL passing away.
Last week I watched Maggie's birth that had been taped at her  
delivery.  Out of our 7 live birth's hers would be the only one we  
ever did that.  Not knowing she was going to have T-18 despite the 5  
previous U/S that we had.
I think what made it harder was the loss of Rebecca last March on top  
of the babies we miscarried in Dec'07 and Feb '08.  I had been really  
thinking of all of them.  What really made it hard though was  
watching Maggie's birth and seeing the nurse bag her like she did.  I  
had forgotten that.  I also had forgotten how the nurse had asked for  
"help".  Some memories are better hidden.  :)


Always there for a Hug and a Prayer!
