She was willing to forgo eating to allow extra room for the babies to grow.

She did have some bleeding and did require some transfusions. She was taken back to the operating room and she is now stable and the bleeding is under control.

I think she has a realistic view of the difficulty and magnitude of what she has undertaken.

Mom has very strong religious beliefs, and that was not something she would entertain.

She is in very high spirits, and very optimistic.

If we moms can push 9 pound babies through our bodies, some of them with heads as big as bowling balls, surely we can push legislation through the halls of Congress.
