Anticipation

As we read the TTTS message boards we realize that we are responding quite normally to all of this input. We don't seem to be any more or less worried than anyone else, and we are probably not any more or less assured of success than anyone else. While it is true that we talk about when the boys will come, not if, and we talk about their room with an S' not an 'S; it is also true that we live from Dr's appointment to Dr's appointment. We are reassured even by the fact that we still hear 2 heartbeats. We are reassured when Megan feels the little guy kicking. We are reassured when we read peoples success stories, and fearful when we read about the continuing complications that other people are going through at the same time. Par for the course appears to range between consistent fear at one end and guarded hope on the other. We are quite hopeful, but anxious for every ultrasound just the same. Any longer than the prescribed one week between ultrasounds would be to long. The encouragement from each seems to wear off in about 5 days and we start hoping that they are both doing ok. Tomorrow is our next one. Today we post our emotions, tomorrow we will post the numbers.
