I just got back from another doctor's appointment and ultrasound. I just love getting to be reassured that everything is ok and that is what has happened once again. Whew! I get so nervous by appointment day - starting to imagine all the things they might say. But no - so far so good - the babies have all grown quite a bit.

We seldom fool anyone or achieve the goal we thought we wanted. What we all really want I think, is to connect with one another and to matter. As an adult I have had goals and held them up against other p...
