They left a week ago today. It was a sad day but, so far, so good. The babies are growing and their big brother is smitten by them. Apparently he has suddenly become more independent. I'm sure dads are happy about that! It also sounds a bit full over there with Nona and dads and big brother and 2 newborns and all their stuff, very busy I'm sure. I'm still feeling great, other than a sprained ankle I've been doing great. Not gonna lie though I shed a couple of years after their departure, it was sad to think I wouldn't get to watch them grow and hold them. Also I wasn't gonna get to watch their daddies hold and love them and I really wanted to see big brother with them. That's my favorite part about being a labor and delivery nurse, seeing the siblings get introduced to their new baby. It's always so sweet to see how excited they are. Although, some are absolutely appalled by this new little screaming thing that is in their moms arms. Not this big brother, he is excited and helpful, at least for now!
Now, a week after they have left I'm feeling good. They've emailed a lot, pictures included, and Skype message me also. They plan on visiting in March, hopefully, and then my daughter is going to visit them in May or June. They are officially a part of the family and we are part of theirs. Knowing that this isn't ever going to be over helps the sadness. In fact, I feel no sadness now. Only hope for the future and I think I see another surrogacy in that future ;)
