I just read this thread from beginning to end and want to extend my congratulations. That's so awesome that you have two little ones now. I am by no means ready to have children yet, but look to your experiences to know that I can be a TC survivor and still have a healthy family.

Hello there,

I've been following this thread lately, just posting now. Thank you very much for sharing your story. My partner and I will be going through this journey in a few years when we are ready to start our family too. It's always a good thread to read like this one, I'm very happy for you to have found success with In-Vitro, it gives me hope that one day I will as well. Enjoy your family!

Adrian

This original thread missed my radar screen until your update. What a joy to read your earlier posts accompanied by your avatar. I'm so glad that everything has worked out for you there.

Hope to see you in July,

Jen

Hey LNT: Love seeing the new avatar of you and your girls. Adorable! And congratulations on the milestone anniversary too...continued well wishes for you and your family.

Are spouses going? Neither one of us dares leave the others alone with the girls for too long.

In my case, Brooke is definitely going, and typically others' spouses attend. I agree, it is daunting to be on one's own with two small kids .

I wonder which is harder, raising them at the same age or staggered!

It's certainly different. With Emi and Dalia being almost 4 years apart, the difference is in their needs. I remember that soon after Dalia was born (she arrived at 5:08 a.m.), I had to jet home to get Emi ready and take her to daycare. I do feel fortunate that I don't have to change diapers for two kids at a time!

And yes, they definitely take on an increased significance. For years, I wondered what I was put on this planet to do. I won't judge my success in life only by what I achieve, but in how we raise our daughters. Congrats on the baby, btw! I wonder which is harder, raising them at the same age or staggered!

Sorry for the delayed response, but let's just say that the babies took over every aspect of our lives. :-) In reality, they are not "our lives" anymore, but ours to to be given fully to the girls.

That is outstanding!!! I had been wondering for quite some time what ever happened to you, and I am really happy for your now larger family! It goes without saying that post-cancer kids carry a great deal of significance especially in cases like ours. Many congratulations, and I hope you do come along to the FFF at the Moses. We're bringing my 4-year and 3.5-month-old girls along!

Not far at all. Would love to meet everybody in person!

Congratulations on four years and two children.

You're only about 15 min from Midland Park. On July 4th the Forum Family is getting together at our house. Try and stop by to say hello, even if it's only for a minute or two.

Whoops!

Sorry for the delayed response, but let's just say that the babies took over every aspect of our lives. :-) In reality, they are not "our lives" anymore, but ours to to be given fully to the girls.

They were born 7 1/2 months ago. I came here to post today on my 4 year anniversary since finishing radiation, and was like "oops! a lot has happened since then!"

Thanks for all of the advise during my ups and downs! Feeling well here. Health and family are the priorities. The company I work for -- well, that's another matter, but if anything happens to my job, I'll look at it as bonus time with the kids!

Best

LNT,

Congrats on passing the 3 year mark!

Glad to hear the twins are doing well.

Terific News!! Your life will be changed forever for the better.

(if you ask me) she's starting to show just a little bit.

I'm not the smartest guy around, but I'd be careful not to answer this question if she asks!

We told our parents but we are still waiting until the 2nd trimester to tell friends, work, etc.

Wow, we're in on the secret early! Looking forward to more updates along the way to your twins' births...
