My niece and nephew have arrived  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
My brother's twins arrived tonight in PA. I'm so happy for them - over 6 lbs each, already nursing, no problems (mom had a csection but is fine). BUT...I can't help the little pang of anxiety and sadness, because I am almost sure they will circ. I did everything I could, gave all the information that I could, my brother even agrees with me that it is wrong and won't be there if it happens, but my sil is a different story. And they probably won't tell me or bring it up, and since we live in CA and they in PA, I won't see the babies for awhile. So I feel guilty for feeling even a bit sad and angry - I should simply be rejoicing, shouldn't I? But I can't help my anxiety - they do the circs the next day right? So by the time I get up...:
Help me to process this OK?

You don't know that it will happen. Both outcomes are just as likely, in the grand scheme of things. Don't worry until you get the news, as it may be for naught.

I know exactly how you feel. I've worried myself sick! You did all you could and I'm so proud of you.

No, you shouldn't feel guilty for feeling anxious about the little boy's future. It is a scary world for newborn boys.
