"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

@thecuddleeffect - Betas are not the be all and end all of predicting twins! My betas were never high:
16dpIUI: 261
18dpIUI: 486
20dpIUI:1,229
You'll have to wait for an US, but I know you will be just as thrilled with 1 once you see that heartbeat
