I just realized the other day that I am no longer terrified. That is good. At the last doctor visit she told us that she doesn't need to see the twins again for 2 months for a normal well baby visit.
I have been in an altered state for 4 months. I have been so focused on the twin's health that not much else entered my mind.
Reality can be kind of a bummer sometimes. I knew that with all the time I have taken off work and the new house that our financial situation was going to be tight, but when I looked at our accounts on line yesterday I was a little shocked. I hyperventilated for several minutes. It was tighter than I thought and we were forced to suck up our pride and call my parents (again) for help. Papa was not surprised. He actually thought that we would have called sooner with all the time that I had taken off.
Anyway, Thank you Mom and Dad. I don't know what we would do without you.
We have come to the conclusion that only kids are getting gifts this Christmas and the kids are our gifts. That and I need to pick up some more flying.
Looking back I don't know what I would have done different. I really couldn't leave my wife alone in that situation all alone. We may have waited a bit longer to buy the new house, but again we really didn't expect all the complications and the bills that went with them.
Chad and Michelle should be arriving any moment for a slightly early Thanks Giving celebrations. I am sure that we will have some good photos to post soon.
