Twelve months ago today was my due date.

Okay, we all knew I wasn't gonna make it to 40 weeks. Next to no twin mums do, and chances are, if you make it to 38, you're going to get served an eviction notice. But my guys decided that even 38 was too long for them, and came a full four weeks early, at 36 weeks and, well. 14 and 21 minutes, respectively ( Read more... )

I love you, bb. I'm sorry I scared you. :( Cause after having 3, I'm pretty sure I did. I've got a couple 3 birth stories, with attached horrors.

*Hugs*

You didn't scare me as much as some did--for some people it was like, not even hey, this is my personal story, it was like, oh, so this person I know, this *fill in horrible stories of stitches and three days of thisthat and zombies and whatever*

But we're all here, and they're so beautiful, and I love them.

*squish*

That was the most wonderful birthing story I've ever read. I laughed so hard, so many times. And then cried (cuz I'm a big sap).

Your babies are so gorgeous! They don't look like vaginal deliveries at all -- perfect heads, and bright-eyed awareness. They're adorable in their one-year-oldness (and definitely siblings, wow).

Thanks so much for taking the time to write all of this out. It's a lovely history, and I think you'll be really pleased to have it in the future.

Thank you so much! I've gotten in the habit of making things funny, if I can, and... you know, a lot of it kind of was really funny. Much more so in hindsight, and once there was an epidural on board, but still!

And I think they're gorgeous, but we well know that I'm biased... I think that's part of the deal. I think it helps with the shape and everything that they were little. If you want to see more pictures of them, just look at the picspam tag--there are more there.

I've been meaning to write this for awhile. I'm sure I'm forgetting things, and not everything is perfectly right, but it feels like what it felt like. And I'm really glad I did it.
