After years of high speed traveling on the Infertility-train we've finally arrived at the "Life after" station. We briefly hopped back on the train for our first and last FET, and against all odds I am now the mother of not one, not two but THREE children! Who'd have ever thought that a couple of years ago? Not me, that's for sure...

One out of every ten children...
- One of these three kids is a big fan of jigsaw puzzles...
- One of these three kids is very very VERY strong-willed...
- Two of these three kids are twins...
- One of these three kids is the best hugger in the whole wide world...
- Two of these three kids are constantly trying to win but never do because they are too busy crying about maybe NOT winning...
- Two of these three kids are starting school (not pre-school, not daycare, no, honest-to-god SCHOOL) in just a couple of weeks... Yikes...
- One of these kids is napping right now...
- Two of these kids are finally caught up with their peers lengthwise...
- One of these kids is a lot skinnier than most people want him to be (f*ck them, I love him just the way he is)...
- All three of these kids are mine...
- All THREE of these kids were born prematurely...
- So is one in every TEN children born into this world...
Today is World Prematurity Day. A day to cherish every single one of those children. A day to celebrate the ones who are still with us. A day to remember those who never made it out of the hospital alive.
And a day to tell others about them!
Please tell me about yours...

They are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMy two preemies are several inches taller than every other full-term singleton in their class. And both of them are tremendously fun and joyful.
