Just Rambling

First of all, I would like to congratulate everyone on their successful baby pickups over the last couple weeks.  I think it's amazing and I can only imagine how you feel.  As for me, the last couple weeks have been a roller coaster of emotions.  I received the following scan of my little ones:

When I saw that scan, everything felt very real.  It is strange because one minute, I'm very excited about becoming a new parent.  The next minute, I'm nervous about whether I'll be a good parent and the challenges of raising twins as a single dad, and then the next minute I am nervous again LOL. The above scan was sent to me on Jan 16th so I should be due for another one next week sometime.  I'm interested in seeing how they have grown.

Speaking of nervousness, I am a bit nervous about the upcoming fetal reduction.  I don't see it discussed much on the blogs although that could be because most of the time no more than two embryos take.  I must thank SCI because they gave me a wealth of information about the process of fetal reduction to ultimately bring this pregnancy down to a twin pregnancy (thank goodness because I don't know what I would do with four children as a single dad LOL).  My surromomma is 9 weeks right now and the reduction will take place between 9-11 weeks.  She will likely be in the hospital for a couple days and will have a social worker at her side the entire side.  I cannot thank her enough for what she is doing for me.  I bet she didn't expect all four to take either.

I haven't shared much about my family but I think I will do so now...

I am the youngest of 4 children and the only child between both of my parents.  My mom was previously married and had my sister T and my brother M. She then had a divorce.  My dad was previously married and had my sister D; his wife passed away long before I was born.  My brother and two sisters are around 9-10 years older then me.  I am freshly 31 as of 1/1/13.  I also have a good friend/godsister named T (lets call her TJ since my sister's initials start with T).  Anyway, my parents are still together and my grandmother (maternal) lives with them about 10mins from me.  My sister D also lives about 10mins from me. D recently had her first child "M" in October 2011. He turns 2 this year.   

My sister D and my godsister TJ know that I have two beautiful babies on the way.  They are more excited then I am, if that's possible.  My sister gets all giddy everytime I see her and she cannot wait until they get here so my nephew M and my twins C&C (Just a little teaser...I will disclose the names when they get here this summer) can grow up together and turn this world upside-down. (I must of just spoke my sister D up because she just sent me a text)  Its nice because we all live within a 10-15min drive from each other.

Anyway, this blog was just me rambling about a few things. There are a few more things I want to discuss but I will blog about that later.  Have a great weekend everyone...
