Imagines...

Imagine...only being able to afford "one try" with In Vitro to get pregnant (necessary after husband's testicular cancer) and learning that your prayers have been answered and you will have a baby in January 99.

Imagine...learning that you've been blessed with, not one, but three and being too terrified to enjoy it.

Imagine...being told at 23 wks into the pregnancy when your Membranes ruptured that your babies will not survive unless bedrest and Prayers can hold off delivery.

Imagine...being scared in a hospital 2 hrs away from home when you are told that you made it to 25 wks and the babies are coming now... And your husband can't make it in time for the delivery.

Imagine...the wonderful intervention from above that sends your priest to you right after babies were born because "he felt like going for a drive" and can now baptize your tiny babies in case they become angels.

Imagine...sending your husband and baby halfway across the country for surgery and knowing you must stay behind and be strong for the other two who are also facing surgery at the same time.

Imagine...the joy you feel every time a developmental milestone occurs knowing that not long ago you were afraid you would never get the chance to witness them.

Imagine...falling more and more in love with your husband each day as he feeds, changes, and plays with these amazing creatures, willing to give so much of himself to them and enjoying it.
