[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brian, Katherine, Kyra.[/quote]

Brian was born when you were both in your mid-twenties. Everything seemed so simple and exciting with his early years. Yes, there were exhausting moments, but overall it really was an enjoyable time and you were ready and willing to have a second child soon after he turned four. It seemed like the right time, but this time around things were different. After several sad miscarriages, you put babymaking on hold and went back to school for a graduate degree in counseling. You thought that helping others would distract you from your own grief and yearnings, but it didn't and soon after completing your degree, you began visiting an infertility doctor which then led you on that crazy roller coaster ride of Clomid, IUI, and eventually IVF which resulted in your twins, Katherine and Kyra. Their pregnancy was a long and uneasy one and their premature arrival was equally unnerving. Eventually the girls made it home and you all got into an exhausting rhythm. Parenting twins has brought up all sorts of issues...no, you don't dress them identically and no, they aren't identical twins even though they do favor each other, and no, they don't have their own language (although you always hoped they would). Katherine has hit all of her developmental milestones right on target, but Kyra has some significant delays. Instead of working, you now spend your days shuttling her to specialists, attending IEP meetings at the local elementary school, volunteering in her classroom and spending your free moments chatting on yahoo groups  and forums with other parents in a similar quest to help your daughter. Katherine and Brian understand your focus on Kyra is a necessary one, but they miss your attention and they love when your sister comes to visit because Aunt Shelly showers them with extra attention and extra spending money. Your husband has become increasingly distant and you attribute it to the strains of getting older and helping to parent twins, but secretly you worry that he may be having an affair. You don't have any proof, just a sad, nagging feeling. Currently, the most enjoyable relationship in your life is with a fellow mother you met through a local support group. You get together for coffee once a week, daily phone calls, and occasional movies. It's just nice to have someone who understands what it is like to juggle so many heavy things at once. You desperately want to be the best mother and wife that you can be, but you are really overwhelmed at times with Kyra's needs and sometimes you dream about just checking into a hotel room for one night alone with a tv and room service. Weeding is your therapy, your roses give you a lot of pride, and Andes mints are your favorites. You hope that your children will go up to be independent, happy, and healthy. [/quote]
