5/18/09
Just a couple of months ago we thought May 18th would be so different. Today was the 34 week goal for our Quads.
I'm supposed to be running around like a crazy man, planning for the big move to our new home and waiting for 'the call'. Lauren is supposed to be in the hospital under monitored bed rest. Our babies are supposed to be past all of the hurdles and almost here.
This of course is not the case.
Today we did a walk-through of the new house - a 4 hour check of every single nook and cranny. Our new house is amazing - after being there for so many hours today it seemed like we were already home. While it is and will be a place we will call home for a very long time, it is far too empty. 5 bedrooms - for two people. 3 bathrooms - for two people. Empty.
Tonight we attended a 'community design review committee' meeting - a fancy name for getting permission to do something to your house - in preparation for the fence that we will be putting up. One of the board members asked 'Are you the couple having the Triplets?'. Of course she didn't know. Our answer was of course a questionable 'No.'
We got through Mothers Day. We will get through this day. We will continue to get through.

I wish I knew what to say, some profound statement that would make it all better. Just know that you both are always in my thoughts and prayers.

You and Lauren have endured so much. I think of you both everyday.

those dates, the anniversaries, they get me every time. i'm sorry you have this great, beautiful house but that your four little ones won't be there to share it with you. its just simply not fair.
((hugs)) to you...day by day we survive.

the anniversary days are especially hard. (((hugs))) i have thought of you guys often, and whenever you have posted about your new house, i think how bittersweet it must be. i remember of all the plans we made for our twin girls, and then when they didn't come home, it was so hard to look at those things and think about what life *would* have been like... holding you both close on the bittersweet closing of your house, and on the heartbreaking anniversary of your 34 week milestone...
