Thanks everyone, I guess I want a magic bullet where there is none!! I feel sad that there are sisters who are close and that I never had that with mine, so I really want it for my girls. I guess I want it for all my children, and so far, it's kind of working with S and T... perhaps I'm just over-thinking it a bit! As for personalities, my siblings and I are so, so different; I wonder even if our situation had been different, if we would have got along better anyway? We'll never know!

Angelaartsstudent, thanks for your comment on my blog - funnily enough, I thought I got so emotional over the manatee because I was pregnant too LOL I just didn't mention it in my reply because I haven't made this baby 'public' on my blog or on facebook (which I rarely frequent anyway). No real reason, just wanted to keep this baby for us for now
