NATURALLY in pregnancies there are points in time when something significant happens. project managers call them milestones. today (oct28th, 2010) is such a milestone. the embryos should be sufficiently sized to see them inside the cavities. and more importantly: their heart beat!

so, we are at the doc's, walk inside the room with the funny chair, bruna disappears behind the undress-curtain. i say - for a laugh - "well, let's see the sextuplets!"

14 seconds later we are walking proof of the "aim higher" principle: the largest cavity shows two heartbeats! identical twins!


no matter WHAT i have ever seen in my life, THIS beats it. by a long shot! aiming for a laugh, i gave the clinic "triplets(at)mickmick.de" for an email address (and earned the laugh, too!), but now they are 4! peculiarly, i could have torn out a whole forrest - and re-planted it again - in this moment. and it still lasts; that moment. people around us try and make me believe it's gonna be hard. money, time, effort, work, vacation... blablabla... these kids will sleep through the night from day one, be potty-trained at six months, speak at 12, read at 24 and write at 36. trilingually. at least, this is what i will tell everyone. right after getting rid of my periorbitals by means of permanent make-up... :)

i CAN NOT be de-moralized, what ARE you thinking?!
