I had to go back to the beginning and read through all your entries. I could really relate to the many, many, many entries about the fertility problems and bad doctors that you guys had. My wife and I had the exact same thing. I sometimes think the doctors are just out to make money, and woman will pay anything to have a baby so they play on that big time. <br /><br />I am pleased for you guys that the latest surgery went well for Linus, he is just such a cute kid.It is amazing how quickly babies can bounce back from stuff that would take us adults for ever to do.<br /><br />I also love how positive you guys are, and how wonderful you are as Mommys. What are you planing on having the boys call you? My wife and I are trying Mommy and Momma, but we even confuse ourselves and land up saying the wrong names. We are just going to let our son decided what he wants to call us when he is ready.<br /><br />Thanks for a great blog and putting lesbian parenting out there, Two Mommas are awesome!!Barbaranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482200508819139560.post-89331423968674208582011-11-23T07:26:14.910-06:002011-11-23T07:26:14.910-06:00Hope all is good.......was wanting to see some bir...Hope all is good.......was wanting to see some birthday pictures....you guys are scaring me........again hope all is goodMimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01487391785570138766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482200508819139560.post-23301018781240220362011-11-03T06:01:23.358-05:002011-11-03T06:01:23.358-05:00Hi there

I don't know how you deal with THREE!<br /><br />I have to say, I love your blog. Your little men are just SO beautiful! My wife just felt the pangs of wanting another baby just by looking at yours. So special!<br /><br />I'm glad Linus is doing well. I'm also a nurse over here in Australia, and I know little boys like him that just capture the heart of so many within the confines of what can be such a sad place. Ward clerks from the ground floor come flocking to see certain kids- as you said, a bitter sweet thing to see them again but to know they're back in hospital.<br /><br />But it's always nice to know, as a mum, that your child is that enchanting, isn't it? :)<br /><br />Thanks for your blog, thanks for your openness, thanks for your promotion of lesbian centred families who have kids and lead normal lives. You're doing the world a favour, whether intentional or not.<br /><br />~MelyssaMelyssanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482200508819139560.post-63819591622816439982011-08-18T13:43:21.946-05:002011-08-18T13:43:21.946-05:00congrats Linus looks great!

We pushed off a gtube for him for some time but were thriled when we finally got it. No more problems with NG tube tape irritating his cheeks, no more reflux. Wait until you get the Mickey you'll be very happy. 2 hints- we really liked IV sponges around the stoma- the slit fit perfectly around the tube and then we covered it with a 2x4 and taped it down. Also we used an AMT clamp to hold the tube and pump wirings together or my son would pull them apart and feed everything around him. Good luck your boys are adorable!Aurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16895313346723630056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482200508819139560.post-19059768356046194632011-08-16T14:24:27.972-05:002011-08-16T14:24:27.972-05:00Thanks for taking the time to write the update.

You guys are such a great source of strength for me as I continue to read more about Linus. I am SCARED TO DEATH letting Quinn go off to surgery in less than 6 weeks, not knowing how I am ever going to hand her over to the surgeon team. But if you guys can do it 7 times, then I know we will get through it and survive.

I promise, your life will be 10,000x easier once he gets his Mickey. Promise!!
