Thank you so much eye of tiger.
And also thank you for pointing out clearly that dominic is irreplacable. I need that to clear my mind, i've been in self denial that i dont wish this kid to be a replacement, however subconciously i want another boy, because thats how i day dreamed my family would have been while i was having dominic, i dreamed the 2 brothers played happily together. since one was taken away under such circumstance, i wanted another one to be put into his place. thats really not the right mindset.
from what you've said, i assume this little baby will get through the 9 months and comes to this world live and kicking, thats the most important thing.
be it a girl or boy, s/he will be very much treasured. (although i am still a little scared of having a girl, that'd be the very first girl grand childen in this family in the past 23 years, can you imagine the attention and scrutiny she and I will be getting?
