You know, that the more pregnancies you've carried the faster you grow and the bigger you get. This is evident in the fact that with Alex I weighed MORE than I did with the triplets. (Fiona I was 4 lbs lighter than the triplets) Just a tidbit I'd thought I'd share.

Gabe, the triplets AD, took off a week to drive with Lisa out to SA where I was in the hospital, he stayed a few days. Then had to return to work. he flew out the day I gave birth stayed for a week then returned back to work. Then when the triplets got out of the hospital he and Lisa'a mom came out for the "long drive home". I think he took off a couple more weeks, but I remember his company being very helpful with him and his job.

CONGRATS TO THE CORNISH FAMILY!!! May Brennan take after his Father's LOVE of Skydiving.......when he's old enough!!

I have a few guesses but I really don't want to offend someone. So I'll have to say, it's too hard to tell. Had I not been having triplets. I would have been able to hide it for quite sometime. I hid it with Daeieah up until I started showing about 7.5 months along!

You know, well first of all I go to church on Saturday but that really doesn't matter. God has had to "relite" my fire many times in my life. Most recently he urged me to attend a church I had never attended before South of where I live. So I went, and was VERY blessed from the moment I walked in. They accepted me right in, and I felt like I had belonged there ALL my life.
Also, two years ago when Alex was VERY little I was the female counselor on a roughin it campout for my church for a bunch of teens. It was a lot of fun. And this year, I was asked to go back and be the speaker. Wow. So I have decided, in lieu of my deployment, to talk about safety. Human vs. God's.

I just talked to my sister. She and Alex have arrived in Nebraska safely. They had a lay over in Salt Lake City. Alex slept the entire 2nd flight. And she seems to be coping well. Thats good for her!! :-) But I on the other hand.........frustrated.

I truely hope to however, it's very unlikely. He thinks I should get past them and not talk to them at all, if I ever mention them he'll say something like, "oh, you are still involved with them?" It's frustrating as all get out!

You know, I kept Fiona a secret from my parents for 3.5 years. I just told my parents last fall. Yes I feel a little better, but my dad is being a big jerk about it. My mom was even going to meet Fiona last month, but my dad forbid her to, so I had to rent a car so I could go see her.

You know......when I choose Fiona's AP's it was VERY important to me that the triplets AP's and they would get along and aknowledge their half-siblings. So I called the Triplets A-mom, and she told me about their friends (actually first she said if the triplets weren't so young they would have wanted her) and thats how I choose Fiona's AP's. They still have contact with each other and visit each other even though they no longer live in the same state. And both sets of AP's ask about Alex and all 4 of my BK's know about Alex and that she is their 1/2 sister. So someday I will be able to explain. ;-)

I agree with Jean - I'm speechless. I just can't even imagine life without Kayleigh - she is such a piece of both Lance & I - if we were without her, it would feel like a part of us has died - my thoughts and prayers are certainly with everyone involved in this and especially with this baby boy.
Along these lines - there is a very special birthmother I have become friends with who recently gave birth (very recently) and placed her daughter for adoption (not through Abrazo though...just in case any of you APs are wondering who I'm talking to...). I spoke with her last night and although she's trying so hard to be strong for the adoptive parents' sake (she doesn't want them to see her cry because she said it will make them cry) - I want her to know it's okay to let your feelings be known - this is a very, very difficult thing to do and it's not something that feels "natural" and indeed shouldn't feel that way - If you're reading this, I am so sorry for your loss - I really wish there was something I could do to take those feelings away and make you happy. I know you will be okay - you're such a strong person and you have such a strong will - you know you are so special to us and you know how much you mean to the people whose lives you've touched. We birthmothers have to stick together - I wish you the best and I hope everyone will keep you in their thoughts and prayers - you need all the support you can get, know that we wish you the best that life has to offer.
Love,
Lisa
This post was a LONG time ago, and for those of you who know, that Birthmother was me, and this was shortly after the birth of Fiona.
Wow, life has sure changed in less than 4 years. When I logged into the forum yesterday, I had a totally DIFFERENT feeling, I wondered why am I here? I almost felt like I don't belong, but after a few PM's and thinking about it, I think the "old" me doesn't belong, I am done grieving, but the New me can fit in here, to help those along the way who are/will/have gone through the same things I went through. You guys have ALWAYS been great!! and there for me!! Maybe this whole new Name change was for a reason. To help, to be leaned upon, to listen just like you all were there for me!!
Well thanks again Forum Family! it's good to be home!
