Go Heavenly, go Heavenly, go Heavenly,<P><BR> Awesome, just awesome!<P><BR> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Hey Flowersex,<P><BR> We really need to talk about this cucumber thing!<P> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Oh Heavenly!!!!!!<P>Sailorman and I are SO happy for you!!!!!! I will continue to keep you in my prayers for a healthy pregnancy and delivery! <P>I agree with Mrs Job about doing a cibershower. We could choose a designated person to get an address to send gift certificates to, and that person could then send them to you. What do you think? I sort of did the same thing with my family, since they all live on the main land, and it worked out really well. Plus, you don't have to play any of those silly games And, if you would allow me, I would love to make two special baby blankets for the 2 little heavenly's. I took up crochetting while pregnant with Abbi, and have greatly enjoyed making afghans for family members. If that is ok with you, please email me (tgr_n_me@yahoo.com) with your address and two favorite colors that you would like. I will hold off until Oct to do the blankets.<P>Well, I gotta go help Sailorman pick up his motorcycle this morning, so if my parents call, we will be here.<P>Again, I am SO happy for you!! Prayers and hugs to mom and the babies!!!<P>Love,<P>Tigger

Lynton.<BR>I know its bad I cant even look at the word cucumber without it causeing a huge smile. <BR> with love flowerseed

Hey flowersex,<P> You're killin' me, woman!! I'm gonna' catch pneumonia from all the cold showers!!<P><BR> Brrrrrrrrrrrr!<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Hey Heavenly,<P><BR> I have cousins that are identical twins, Mathew and Mark. I still can't tell them apart.<BR> They really do have a "connection", almost scary!<P> Do you know yet if your twins are identical, or fraternal?? <P><BR> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Congradulations Heavenly!<BR>You know our prayers are with you and your growing family

Heavenly, I lost twins too and I am so sorry you now carry twins. I am thrilled for you-=and honestly a little bit jealous,but I am way too old to be getting pregnant.But I am thrilled for you, and pray the pregnancy goes well and babies are healthy.do you know the sex yet? I am also a twin-so know the delight in being a twin. It will be a blessing for you and your family. Congratulations!

Oh Heavenly,<P>C O N G R A T U L A T I O N S<P>this is the happiest thing I've heard in a long long time. May God's loving arms be around you through the duration of your pregnancy. <P>I too am envious. How I would love to be pregnant again.<P>Cyber hug to you,<P>------------------<BR>Zebra Baby ...<P>Lord, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

Thanks to everyone for your support and congratulations.<P>Since I am a "creme puff" (Catnip's label for me!), I still feel a bit insecure about inflicting pain on others because of my pregnancy. <P>Particularly,<P>Mina, because you have just suffered a loss and I have been in your shoes so many times. I know how painful it is to deal with other women's pregnancies when you have just miscarried.<P>lsb, who also lost twins. You have been having such a difficult time right now in your marriage and I have been trying to offer as much support as possible.<P>and, Mrs. Job, who has also just lost two wonderful kids. Again, I have been in your shoes and I know the pain.<P>I seem to be doing fine and I would like to keep discussion about the babies down to a minimum. We are all here to heal and I am the last person to want to make anyone uncomfortable. And, I certainly don't want to become a "trigger"!.<P>Tigger, you and Gregg are really too much -- a shower via internet! And, tigger, I would love to have you make blankets for the babies. My mother used to love crocheting and our home was always filled with afghans and blankets that she made. <P>Mrs. Job, I also loved the idea of your necklace. I completely agree with you that most of the time, the simplest gifts are the best because they come from the heart. You and tigger and gregg are going to spoil me rotten!<P>To everyone else, Glory&Praise, cd, flowerseed, gemini and zebrababy -- I know I have benefitted from your prayers and the love that you have sent through the internet. You have all given me courage to keep going and to put my faith and trust in God. Thank you and blessings to you all.<P>love,<BR>heavenly <BR>

Hey Heavenly,<P><BR> You deserve a little spoiling!!!<P><BR> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Heavenly,<P>Your good news doesn't make me unhappy. I am a very complicated woman--I can hold two conflicting thoughts at one time I can be thrilled for you and still mourn the loss of our adoption.<P>Quick story. My sister gave birth to her first child two weeks after I learned of A and OC. My mother was all over me to call my sister at the hospital and congratulate her. My sister and I are very close and under normal circumstances, no one would have had to remind me to do this.<P>However, at that point in my life I didn't want to have anything to do with anyone who could have children, even my beloved sister. My mom called over and over again asking if I had called. I kept saying "No. Please don't ask me. Are you trying to kill me? Because that's what calling her will do to me. Why don't you just congratulate her for me?" My mother said it would seem very suspicious to my sister if I didn't call. I said just explain the affair and OC to her and I am sure she will understand. Nothing doing; Mom said it would ruin her happiness at the most important time of her life. My mom has a thing about things being "perfect" at births, weddings, etc. She doesn't seem to get that we are a fallen people and perfection is beyond us.<P>Finally I caved in, but I didn't do it without explaining what I was going through also. I told my sister what Mom had said and why I had hesitated in calling. My sister said the same thing to me, as I just said above. "I can be happy that I have my beautiful, healthy baby that I have waited so long for and still feel bad, really bad for what you are going through. I am a complicated woman capable of feeling two very conflicting emotions at the same time. You didn't ruin my happiness over my new baby, you can't give or take away my own emotions." She has been a great support to me through all these trials.<P>One of the first parts of recovery is figuring out who is responsible for what. xOW kept swearing at my H and telling him he ruined her life. I keep reminding him that he isn't that powerful. She and she alone is responible for ruining her life. She was an adult woman who made very bad choices. He, on the other hand is completely responsible for the mess he has made of our lives.<P>Mrs. Job, who has been to too many counseling sessions

Heavenly!!! WOWWWEEEEE!!!! TTTWWWOOO!!!! Oh My goodness! How wonderful!!!<P>Hey how about this? You get a post office box, that way no one who likes to harrass has your address...open it just for a MB mail shower! We all pick a date and send cards, packages, homemade things (for those who have talent...unlike me ) etc. A friend of mine had a mail shower and she just loved it.<P>Love and Prayers (x3),<P>bw

Hey BW,<P><BR> What a cool idea!<P><BR> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Dear, dear Heavenly.....<P>Wow. I am speechless...I don't know what to say!<P>This is such a blessed miracle and my concern and happiness for you is mixed, but I know you will take excellent care of yourself (ala Sophia Loren) and keep calm and get a lot of rest, good nutrition and positive thoughts.<P>You know everyone here will be sending you the cosmic reinforcements over the next few months.<P>I love the idea of the cyber shower and the beads that Mrs. job suggested...let's try to do something like this everyone...<P>Heavenly, regardless of what is going on in our own lives or what losses we have personally endured, I too am a lot like Mrs. Job as I have the ability to be genuinely happy for someone else and mourn my own losses. My bet is that most of us here are the same way...so never feel like that around us or here on this forum. We love you very much and are absolutely thrilled and delighted.<P>I need to know, Heavenly...will you dress them alike and cut their hair the same? I suppose it will depend on whether the babies are identical or franternal.<P>I love names....even Ruby Begonia, daughter of Creme Puff, should have an interesting moniker...we should all submit names to you to consider as well.<P>We are going to have a lot of fun with your pregnancy, heavenly.<P>God bless you and your husband and family and the two new additions soon to arrive.<P>Love<P>Catnip =^^=

Hey Heavenly,<P> Here are some ideas for names! ( Guess where they came from!) Michael Gregory, Erin Ashley, Linzi Caitlin, Lexi Nicole, Gregory Lynton.<P> God bless you,<P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Hey Cat- mandu,<P><BR> How you doin'? <P> It's really good to hear from you, I miss you.<P> How 'bout Heavenly? How cool is that??<P><BR> God bless you, <P>------------------<BR>Gregg

Hey Mrs. J,<P><BR> Thanks for being here.<P> Thanks a lot.<P><BR> God bless you, <P>------------------<BR>Gregg

<B>Heavenly</B><P>First of all I am sorry for being so late. I have been weaning myself from the boards a bit to try and make a move towards more recovery. Side note: it doesn't seem to be working. Not sure what my next stradegy will be? Now back to the real reason I was posting on this wonderful thread full of wonderful news. <P>I knew that believing our Lord was going to make this all turn out right and wonderful was the thing to do, and look he heaped a double blessing on you! Praise the Lord. Twins. What a wonderful way to bring you and your husband closer and to make this more special that anything anyone else has experienced with him.<P>So <B>Heavenly</B> my best to you and yours. I'll keep remembering you in my prayers.<P>This is such wonderful news. PTL over and over again.<P>------------------<BR><B>God bless you and all of us. We are all going to make it, all of us! With God on our side we can't lose! What God has joined together let no man put asunder. <P>Samantha</B><p>[This message has been edited by A blessed Samantha (edited May 28, 2001).]
