It Is Not this Week!

Grow strong, grow strong! Baby A and Baby B!
I feel in my heart the same anxiety that all moms-to be feel...
A week may come when we have twenty diaper changes a day,
when we have less time for friends and break all pretenses of cleanliness for ourselves,
but it is not this week!
Seven more weeks of achy backs and six pee trips a night, then the time of being a family of two comes crashing down!
But it is not this week!
This week we trudge and waddle!
By all that I hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you grow, babies of Red and Blue!





So yeah, made it through another work week. Enjoy my sad attempt to recreate Aragorn's rousing, passionate speech, original below:

Hold your ground, hold your ground! Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers! I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of woes and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down! But it is not this day! This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you stand, Men of the West!
