Some people just don't think things through, and say incredibly stupid and hurtful things. Do they think that there isn't a real person on the other end of the blog? Anyway, hang in there. Many people are sending loving feelings and prayers in your direction. Eli, I think you are so awesome to stand up for your wife.

My son Parker just got out of the hospital for flu and dehydration, I was so grateful he was there and experts were taking care of him. It gave me such peace to know that he would be watched over and protected. Don't explain yourself to anyone.

WORD UP, sister! I've said it before and I'll say it again, you two are already wonderful parents, wonderful friends and we love you so much. It's a shame that you've had to explain anything about anything... Oh and Eli, you're the dude. Make sure those NICU nurses show you the ins and outs of diapering b/c we've had some "unfortunate" diapering events in our house lately.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08768227813193883677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283716427167676877.post-33453234946389956322008-12-02T18:38:00.000-05:002008-12-02T18:38:00.000-05:00Abby, Leslie's friend Mandy here.

We have all been blessed to have had even a small part in this miraculous event. Everything else is chaff and should be blown away.

I am always so impressed with you Abby and your positive attitude. Keep up that positive attitude and everything will turn out just fine. We are all very excited to meet these two little babies and pray that everything goes well for you and them. I haven't emailed you for awhile (sorry!!) but let me know if you need anything in the next couple of weeks.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12260502057193720737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283716427167676877.post-60068947250939543932008-12-02T14:00:00.000-05:002008-12-02T14:00:00.000-05:00Abby you and Eli are the best. I am so excited to...Abby you and Eli are the best. I am so excited to meet Charlie and Olivia. I'm sure they are going to be such a wonderful mix of you and Eli. <BR/><BR/>I have had some strange comments on my blog that were hateful as well from people I didn't know. I spent about 30 minutes trying to hunt them down to throw my hatred at them and then realized that if they really have time to surf people's blogs that they don't know and leave ridiculous comments on them, then they really have no life and their priorities are completely in the wrong place. <BR/> <BR/>Please know that all of us that know you and Eli and have in some part gone through this with you, know how wonderful this meeting will be. I think that is the best part of birth if finally meeting that little soul or in your case souls that have been with you for so long but still a mystery. I love looking at them and saying "hello!!". From the moment of hello only the best will do for those babies, no matter what it is. That is the mother's creed. <BR/><BR/>Anyone who doesn't understand that, isn't a mother. The bond between mother and child is unlike anyother force upon the earth. It cannot be duplicated, recreated, or substituted. It just is. How exciting that you are about to enter this exciting and priviledged group of women. Hang in there. Next week will come quickly and you will finally be introduced to the two most important people in your life.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268727101953249165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283716427167676877.post-40726202306366838722008-12-02T13:13:00.000-05:002008-12-02T13:13:00.000-05:00I just started reading your blog this past weekend...I just started reading your blog this past weekend. My husband came accross it on that live feed thing. We live in Delaware, and your situation kinda hits close to home for me. My sister was pregnant with twins, so I was kinda drawn to your blog. I have not read any of the comments on your blog that were mean, and I am sorry people can be so rude. I look forward to seeing your beautiful children! I wish you all the best!!<BR/><BR/>Megan Mompher<BR/><BR/>www.themompers.blogspot.comThe Momphershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00197394865489427705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5283716427167676877.post-45530537538497844772008-12-02T12:56:00.000-05:002008-12-02T12:56:00.000-05:00I agree with what my wife is saying.

I didn't know we would have to defend ourselves as parents so early on, but just to make everything clear Abby and I have always had the welfare of our children in the forefront of our minds. If you question that then you are wrong. Plain wrong.<BR/><BR/>Read what Abby has said carefully and you should see that. Especially if you claim to know her.<BR/><BR/>And if you have a problem with the way we're doing things or how we feel about our children call me at 614-288-8955. Because if I have to get one more phone call from my crying wife who's bed ridden in the hospital telling me about how hurt she is from comments and other hurtful remarks we'll just stop blogging. Abby doesn't deserve to deal with these kinds of negative remarks, and neither do Charlie and Olivia. I, on the other hand, can handle them just fine.<BR/><BR/>Thanks to those of you who understand and know us well enough to send love, prayers, and positivity in our direction. Please don't stop, we need them still.Eli Bowmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15076681435433410877noreply@blogger.com
