Focus on Friends and Family

A stoic Liliana poses with Wrigley, who belongs to my closest pal, Cindy. It's a blessing to have Cindy in town for awhile. We jokingly call her our "good luck charm," because she's been in St. Louis every time we've conceived a child. And it just so happened that she was here during the IVF. What a coincidence!

Today we bid adieu to Grandfather and Grammy. Words cannot express how helpful they were during the past week. We were very sad to see them go. Even Liliana began crying and said, "I'm too sad." Thank you, Bill and Mary, for caring for Liliana (Wade & me, too), making meals and cleaning my kitchen! We look forward to seeing you for the annual deep sea fishing adventure.

It seems that I'm not recovering as well as expected. The pain in my ovaries has not diminished much. It's already been a week since the procedure. I talked to Dr. Pineda's nurse today, and she advised me to lie down as much as possible and avoid any physical exertion. Easier said than done! Hello, 2 1/2 year old toddler!

Praying for a speedy recovery and two healthy babies, Ramona

I will definately pray for you and your family during this time. I can only imagine how hard it is to rest when there are always things to be done around the house. Please let me know if you need help...I'd love to at least bring a meal over. I have found after having Addison, how amazingly stressful a day can be, just trying to make breakfast, lunch and dinner for myself and/or Pete.
Be strong....grow babies grow!
