Some of you might remember the last time I posted I was complaining about being on bedrest at home... Well I have now been in the hospital for 10 days on strict bedrest and would give almost anything to be back home.
I wrote a really long journal entry about the hell I've been through in the past 10 days and if any of you are interested in reading have been through or are going through similar situations I would love to talk more. I feel like I am absolutely loosing my mind. The weirdest part is even though I feel my boys all the time it still doesnt seem real that I am going to have them at the end of all this. I think that makes it even harder to go through all this. It would be easier if I could focus on doing this for them but I just keep thinking about how miserable I am. I am the most selfish person alive??? Sometimes I think maybe its a defense mechanism or maybe its because I spent so long trying to get pregnant that actually having a baby (let alone 2) still seems like a dream. Who knows... Rambling... sorry... anyone wants to talk more (mini- support group!)drop me a line. Posted on 06/08/08, 01:06 pm |

I'm so sorry your in the hospital. I was just released and don't want to go back. I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels that way. I think maybe b/c we've been through soo much to get here, it's hard to believe we're gonna have babies. I feel like I'm in complete denial too. You'll have good and bad days...I think depending on how much you can sleep in the hospital. I'm gonna have to read your journal too. keep us posted.

i was ok with the twins, but went thru this with our first. i HATED being in the hospital. i was there for 2 fricking long months.
get some cross words, good books. and subscribe to the tv (if they have it). if they don't have tv, i recommend a portable dvd player. good luck..it'll be worth it...promise! and you are not a selfish person...nobody likes to be in the hospital...especially when you don't feel sick.

You're not selfish!! You are miserable. Bed rest is awful no matter where you are. Don't worry - you will get through this and those babies will be real in no time (I can identify, I felt the same way!!) at all. Hang in there. :)

Hi, I am new on this site. Let me tell you what your future could hold for you. I have twin boys who are 9 yrs.old. The first 2 yrs of twins was challenging. Take tons of pictures because I remember virtually nothing the first 6 mos. It was lots of work but I did love it. I felt like I had something so unique. I don't know if you have other children. I also have a 12 yr. old daughter. The love for your children actually multiplies when you have twins. A mother of single babies has no idea what this feels like nor could they ever understand this. Twice as much love..very intense and wonderful. My boys are best friends. They are very very lucky to have each other. When the boys were a yr. old they were actually easier to deal with because they played together. My daughter needed my attention 24/7. My boys would wake up at 6 am but would play in their room after they woke up sometimes for 2 hrs. It was so sweet to listen to them talk, laugh and play together. Now they are still very close and I cannot say that anyone who has only single babies sure miss out. Try to focus on how lucky you are. It does get better. Patienceis the key and this time will pass quickly. I am sorry if I am no help to you right now..but it does get better.

I understand how you feel as I too spent a long time in Hospital when I was pregnant with my twins. I was admitted in when I was 24 weeks and had to stay for 2 weeks then allowed home,I managed to get home and was then admitted in again because of blood pressure after only being home a week. I was allowed home after a 3 weeks and managed to stay home for a weekend but when I had to go back for a check up I was told I wouldnt be going home untill I had the twins so spent the last few weeks of my pregnancy in hospital. I hated every minute of being in Hospital and it felt like a life time but im greatfull as I have to healthy boys who are now nearly nine yrs old.
All I can say is make the most of it as you need all the rest you can I know its boring and you spend alot of time worrying but it will be worth it when your little bundles of joy are in your arms. It does get better and the doctors are doing what they think are best for you and your babies
