“I had an addiction to peeing on sticks. It’s a real thing. My husband made me pee on the test that says ‘pregnant’ or ‘not pregnant.’ HE didn’t believe the lines. Sure enough, our bingo babies were conceived! What came next was unexpected and scary. I had a postpartum hemorrhage after each baby was born and they could not get it under control. ‘Am I dying?,’ I remember asking my mom. I kept thinking, ‘How did I go through all this and not be able to see my babies grow up?’”
“The medic not only saved my son, but a little brother, a grandson, a nephew and a friend. We can never repay him.”
“He has brought so much joy and happiness to our family, and he brought two people together that otherwise may have never met.”
“We tried to think of as many significant food references throughout the series that would also make good food for a party!”
“He would give her reassuring kisses to let her know she could do this. It was a beautiful thing to watch – the bond between mom and baby, and man’s best friend.”
“She took a lot with her the day she died, but in losing her, I gained a whole new perspective on life. That’s something I couldn’t have gained if grief hadn’t come into my life and showed me what the best day ever really looks like.”
“We stick out in a crowd and draw attention anywhere we go. There are occasions when the pointing, stares, and whispered comments are invasive and annoying. People reach out and touch our children’s hair without asking. We’ve even had to step in and stop strangers from taking selfies with our kids!”
“It’s a high-waisted bottom which is like the mullet of swimwear. I didn’t try it on because no one needs to pick me up from the Marshall’s changing room floor, and like I said, I AM A WOMAN OF FAITH.”
“I’ve always thought of myself as pretty cool under pressure. But the first time I got that call that my wife’s water had broken, something changed.”
“No. Not the clean dishes.”
