Gone are the days of keeping busy to distract myself, although I do have many wonderful visitors to break the monotony, and my family is always around, which is a huge blessing. My daughter and I made a "Countdown until 24 Weeks" calendar. I cannot wait to wake up tomorrow morning and see there are only three weeks, or 21 days left until our first milestone.
She loved the idea and made one for the next time her 13-year-old friend and "mother's helper" comes to play in three days. Her 3-year-old spirit wants to tear all the sheets off in one day, and while I tried to explain why we can only do one page for each day, I completely understood her wanting something that cannot come sooner to happen likerightnow. I want to be in the safer zone, to know that if something happens suddenly, there will be a chance for our babies.
For now, seeing the days pass and torn away to reveal a new day is comforting.
Love it! A great idea! Halloween sounds like a good time to bring three beautiful babies into the world. Sending you good vibes!
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of you.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!! So glad you and your dd got 'er dun. :) She's a girl after my own heart. I always wanted to eat all the chocolates out of the Advent calendar on the first day. Love to you.
ReplyDeletethat's neat...I'm going to make one for my awaiting IVF....thanks for the idea
ReplyDeletePatience seems to be running theme of an IF journey! Love the idea too. I was thinking of things you could do. Draw around you tum and your and your DD could fill the shape in with things the twins might like or do. Or wishes from family and friends.

I love the countdown chart! I used to have one in college, when hubby and I were long distance. I would count down the days until his next visit. This was before cell phones and webcams were popular, of course, so we weren't as well connected as we would have been today. :)
ReplyDeleteI am praying for your little blessings, I think Halloween sounds like a wonderful day to be born!
Such a sweet idea--keep those days comin'! I think good thoughts in your direction every day--can't wait to see you pass 24 weeks, and then 28. xxoo -Brenna
ReplyDeleteI love this idea and am thinking of implementing it in my hospital room! Our 24w mark is Aug 15, a day before, so we are on this journey together. I desperately want that Sept 12 date too, but right now, I can only focus on getting the next 19 days.
ReplyDeleteHoping we both see the fall still pregnant and that are babies grow huge!
Awesome idea! Glad things are going well.
ReplyDeleteGreat! I'm glad you did the tear off count down. You are doing SO good. Keep it up!!
ReplyDeletelove your countdown calendar! I was thinking of putting one up in my hospital room, but haven't gotten around to it. Good luck, and I'll keep you in my prayers!
