I'm only caught up to p70, but desperately need a nap!
I got up at 5 today after going to be REALLY late (for me, these days). There was a mega "yard" sale at a local high school, put on by the West Chester Mothers of Twins (and more) Club. It was an absolute madhouse! I went to the grand opening of Ikea on Wednesday, and this place today was 10 times crazier!
I hope to catch up more after a quick nap!
Tammi-time change is messing with me too...
i just ran around like crazy and packed most of the stuff..i have a few things to pick up tomorrow and im set..this is way too soon
have agreat night all
I think you're gone today..... when you catch up, I'll just say i hope you guys had a wonderful weekend!
no thanks.
Knowing that I am in your prayers helps immensely.
I had a friend bring us supper...just because tonight. Not sure how she knew I had no idea what to fix at 6:15 for my family but we all ate to filling and it was yummy!!
What wonderful timing! I hope things are looking brighter for you!
I have an interview Monday at 10:30am for an Internship in the NICU at Northside Hospital. They deliver more babies than any other private hospital in the country (12,000 the years I was there), and it's where I worked post-partum and where the kids were born. It would be 3 12hr night shifts a week. It excites me, but it scares the living bejeezers out of me at the same time. The NICU is a tough place. I know I'd be great there, but it such a huge responsibility taking care of those tiny babies who are so ill.
Ooh, how exciting! Good luck! I absolutely loved working in the NICU, but you're right -- it does have some challenging times. You'll be wonderful!
everyone.
Thought I should pop in so you didn't think I fell of the face of the earth. Hope all is well with everyone, plenty of good thoughts,and for all.
Hello! Good to see you around more!
I managed to get some pictures uploaded at naptime.
Wonderful pictures! We need to get together soon, while I can still leave my house!
Thanks! I showed Alyssa the pictures and she said, "Hey, why is Daddy's head cut off?"
March 23 would be my dad's 69th birthday. We lost him 10+ years ago. It doesn't seem possible that it has been that long but I still miss him all the timem.
Advice please...
For Alyssa's Fancy Nancy party, I'm going to order pizza for lunch since Nancy, Alyssa, and most kids are big pizza fans. Do you think this is okay to serve to the moms in attendance too, if I also accompany it with a couple salads?
I know as moms that we get tired of pizza, but I'm also trying to be budget-conscious. I thought about wraps or deli sandwiches, but since two other moms are pregnant, I don't want anyone turned off by turkey (I don't have a problem eating it, but I know some people really watch what they intake while pregnant).
Of course, some moms might just eat dessert (cupcakes, cookies, and make-your-own sundaes).
What do you think?
I think even serving pizza for the adults as well, is probably beyond what most would expect! Go for it!
Nick went to bed complaining of a sore throat. Hunter was in bed about an hour when he began complaining of a bad headache and a stomach ache. I really hope that they are not coming down with the flu. We don't need that.
I was sorry to read they woke up still feeling bad.... is everyone on the mend yet?
Good morning...
Jennifer- How is work these days? And more importantly how are you feeling? Are we ever going to see your belly?!?
Hi!
Work is work. I am going to take my vacation the week after next, and nobody seems too bent out of shape about it
Kyle had an absolutely horrendous night on call last night (he still isn't home, and hasn't slept at all) ... I'm so thrilled for him that his vacation starts on his way home!
As for me, I'm feeling ok. The anemia is back (well, likely just still around) with a vengeance, so they upped my iron yet again and are watching me a bit more closely. My hemoglobin and hematocrit were quite low at the last check! I must say, I am feeling somewhat better though even on the current dose of iron -- I can't imagine how I might feel if I actually ever have the right amount of red blood cells and oxygen!
I honestly think my PT exercises are helping a bit as well. I can at least walk without being miserable, so I'll take it!
At my last appointment I was "only" measuring 30.5 weeks (at 23). I'm glad things are tapering off, since I was up to 10+ weeks ahead at my appointment 5 weeks ago!
I have gained a total of 9.5 pounds, which isn't great, but since the girls look fine and are growing well, they are backing off on the "yelling" at me to catch up!
At this point, they will be happy if I can just gain on schedule, even if it means I might only end up 25-30 pounds above my pre-pregnancy weight. Heck, if the babies are growing, that's fine with me!
My mother has been diligent about taking belly shots, so maybe you'll see one eventually. I don't have a problem with them, I just find them dreadfully boring.
Tell Emma and Molly I said hello!
And Lucy looks beyond adorable (as usual) in the latest round of pictures! I absolutely love the one with her tongue out!
That is so sweet, Robyn. She is loving it already. She wrote the copy for a $200,000 necklace
last week and is working on their newest Mother's Day campaign right now. I would think that very soon the words you read on their billboards will be hers!
How exciting!
so yesterday I was headed to the mall. The car in front of me stopped all of a sudden. My mom was behind me and hit me. great huh. well the bummper got bent and I could not open the rear door on the van. well my brother managed to open the door and pushed down on the bummper so I would not have problems closing the door.
Well the sensor got messed up on the door. it thinks the door is open even though the door is closed. I hear a ding ding as I drive.
I sure hope Kia can reset the sensor
Oh no! I hope the mechanic can help you out!
Oh, it's a gray, dismal day here! We are getting a rain storm here that's supposed to last until mid-afternoon. I hate these kinds of days, but I remind myself that it could be snow! Rain is better than snow. Anyway, I'm hunkered down in my house with some music and the DIS. Not too shabby, eh? I also watched Monster-in-Law early this morning. Cute movie!!!! I started watching Napolean Dynomite. Could someone explain to me why my husband thinks this movie is one of the greatest ever made???? I only watched about 45 minutes and couldn't take it any more.
That is what our last few days have looked like. It gets almost depressing, but then - like you - I realize it could be much worse!
Robyn,
You make the cutest babies!!!!!!!!!!
So true!
I hope the rest of you are doing well! I'll finish catching up soon!
