We have cribs

in our house. Yes, us. They were given by my SILs friend who also has IVF twins. We are so grateful for them. They are matching white cribs, just like we were going to buy, but instead were free!

But, having them in the house is really weird. Honesty, everything we have gotten for the babies can fit on one large shopping bag and get stuck in a closet. These cribs feel so foreign. It feels so real, and I am uncomfortable with it at this point.

I will be 20 weeks on Saturday...and don't think I will be comfortable with anything baby until I reach the elusive V-day (viability day, 24 weeks). I think with all the scares last week I am acutely aware that all of this can be taken away at anytime.

Every time I hear about a loss, be it an early miscarriage, a late term loss, or the loss of an infant my heart aches for days. I can't stop crying for the poor parents, for the hopes, and the precious child that was lost. Help everyone remember today, and honor those who have been lost: http://www.october15th.com/.

Free cribs is awesome - I can't wait to see pics of the nursery.

I'm glad you're starting to feel better and the puking is less.
