The tech is doing the ultrasound now. The babies look good. Heart rates are between 140 and 160. Fluid levels in Coeur d'Lane and Lennon are normal. Emerson's is still low. She's checking placental location and the babies positions. Will check back when I know more.

I want to caution you: this post is raw, ugly and painful.  It won't be flowered to ease anyone's discomfort of reading raw emotion, ugly words and painful topics.  This is my therapy.  I know I'm not the only one who needs it.

I love dogs.  My first dog was a black/white chihuahua/terrier mix named Tiger.  Our family got him around Christmas when I was 5-6 years old.  He was mean and I have the scars to prove it!   Not too long after we got Tiger,  we got Mary.  Mary was a black and white dachshund.  For all of Tiger's mean behavior, she made it up in love.  They both lived very long lives.  Our oldest son even remembers Mary.  In our family, they were my brother and sister.  No joke, I would get Christmas presents, even get well cards, from them.  I knew better.  I knew it was my Dad.  So, I will blame my Dad for one of my greatest loves.

Nothing can separateEven if I ran away Your love never fails.
I know I still make mistakes But you have new mercies for me everyday Your love never fails.
You stay the same through the ages Your love never changes There may be pain in the night but joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage I don't have to be afraid Because I know that you love me Your love never fails.
The wind is strong and the water's deep But I'm not alone here in these open seas Your love never fails.
The chasm is far too wide I never thought I'd reach the other side But your love never fails.

My husband has tried desperately to find his place in his extended family.  As a small child, the formative years, he developed strong bonds with the elders of his tribe.  However, for a season he was removed from those people and missed  critical connection with his family.  As a young adult, he was reintroduced, but he missed so much in the separation.  This last few days have been nothing short of miraculous.  It started out with visiting his “brother” Jimmy, Leigh-Ann, John, cousins Mary and Kevin.  If that were the end of the journey, it would have been wonderful but it was just the beginning.
As many of you know, I am a Geneal…
