So far so good, April 19, 2006

I am spending my last days of pregnancy with joy. The beautiful spring of New England is all around us and I believe it is the most beautiful spring of my life. Everything looks like blooming, everything is fresh and alive and my two little boys are getting ready to be born.

Everything has been fine with my health and my boys' health. I hope the rest goes as well. Of course I have some contractions once in a while, but it is very usual and nothing compare to what other women feel. My doctor believes I have good muscle tune and that's the reason of not having many contractions even a few days before giving birth to TWINS.

I had my last ultrasound yesterday and saw the doctor who was covering for my OB/GYN. She was really surprised how everything has gone well with my pregnancy. I have been working hard to control the problems around my pregnancy, but I couldn't do it if my husband, his family, my siblings, my mother and our friends were not supporting me emotionally.

There is almost no reason to worry about my babies, but still, I am a mother. I will keep worrying for my babies whole my life, that's what make my babies special for me.  But to be honest, more than how I am worried for their health, I worry if they will be raised well. I am sure Michael and I will do our best to make it happen, but the problem is that, sometimes we may not know what is the best. I certainly believe that we will both give our life to make sure they are going to be raised well. That's what makes us parents.
