Hi Dory - I'm doing ok today. I can see what you mean about the ups and downs. It helps to talk about my babies and I'm getting pretty involved in advocating how identical twin pregnancies are managed from an OB perspective through to putting together a information sheet for parents when they find out they are having identicals. I'm hoping once that's complete websites such as Belly Belly will consider putting it up as a sticky so at least there is a point of reference moving forward.
I've made contact with The Royal College of Aust and NZ Obstetricians and Gynecologists and they have no standard practice for how OBs should manage these pregnancies including recommendations on frequency of scans. They have now added this to their agenda for the next meeting in November. So hopefully something may come from that.
Your memorial ideas are beautiful, I will Google and perhaps will find something in that list that will bring comfort.
Blest - honey, oh my goodness. I read your story, you sound like one of the strongest women ever. It helped me so much to read your words, some of which I've been thinking also. So thank you for being so strong for writing that and making it available to people like me.
