Explanation

I didn't dare try to write anything on the last blog. It was hard enough trying to get all the pictures to match up. So what do you think? They look pretty similiar, huh. I had thought about doing this and then Keiko asked me too so she could compare so I decided to get it done, Thanks Keiko for the nudge. :) A few other things I thought I would clarify, Deborah had asked about the two scars I now have from my two children. When I was two months pregnant with Kali I had an ovarian contortion (my ovary twisted) so I had a seven hour window in order to get into surgery before it would have died and I would have lost one of my ovaries. Luckily I was in surgery in the seven hour and my doctor saved my ovary. Yeah for my ovary!!! More importantly Kali was safe, (there is a high risk of miss carriage when you have surgery in your first trimester), but as I have now learned I will have one really scary bizarre thing happen with each of my children which leaves me with wonderfully healthy children and a pretty scar on my body. In both cases I guess you don't see many ovarian contortions or two knots in the umbilical cord, they see maybe one a year, so I am the lucky one, let me know if you know of any other bizarre things that happen during pregnancy or birth and I will just prepare myself for the next child.

I was curious about two scars you mentioned, I didn't remember Kali with c-section. You are tough girl, Shanae. Do you say, "Mark of Man" or "Sign of Man" when man have cut or injury marks? They say it proudly in Japan. So, it's "Sign of Mom!", right? I hope you get some sleep while your mom is there.

YAY for your ovaries intact! so then you could have gorgeous children. i dont want to know what is going to happen if you have a third child! but lets be honest...you should only be allowed to have 2 gorgeous children anyway so the rest of us dont look bad!

I really enjoy your posts! Your kids are just precious. I left a comment earlier, but I feel bad because I set my blog to private b/c I was getting wierd comments...but if you send me an email at garynbrina@yahoo.com, I would be more than happy to invite you to our blog.(if you're interested)

Hope you are recovering well, I'm sure with a c-section it will take a little extra time...

They are so adorable! They do look alike, except Krew looks more masculine and Kali feminine, and maybe thats just because I know Krew is a boy and Kali's a girl. But they are so cute. Well worth the battle wounds!
