First, let me say that I posted the boys’ birth story earlier today and moved it so it’s in the right place (chronologically) in this blog as I try to catch up and making me entries for days when I was without Internet access.

I had a good sleep last night, and after I woke, I realized that it was the first night since the boys were born that I have not had a nightmare. I had been attributing my strange nightmares to the late night pain medications, taken on an empty stomach but hadn’t given enough credit to my subconscious, I suppose. Last night’s dream was plenty strange all right, but it wasn’t scary. Read the rest of this entry »

This entry is being written to the best of my ability from memory 8 days later.

This morning, I woke up sad. I miss my boys and want to meet them. I miss Skip and I miss Calista. I’m lonely, and I am in pain. I realize no one has sent me flowers like they did when Calista was born.

I am stressed out by the phone calls as the phone in my room seems to ring constantly, and there’s always a nurse trying to do something to me while people are trying to call.
