I attended a wake tonight and it's really got me in a funk.
By the way, I got a phone call today..I have an interview Friday morning. Its with a Child Study Team--I dont know anything else! I got a message after the offices were closed so I will be calling them in the morning to find out what type of position and that stuff..It is not in the district I was waiting on--so we shall see...
I think im going to bed, thanks for checking on me theresa
Keep us posted! I think often of you as you wait and try and find the right job. It will come!
Sorry I've been mia for so long. Real life gets in the way sometimes...
One of the things that tripped me up was my car. I had to trade in Ms. Blueberry.
So I'm now the proud owner of a salsa red special edition Wolfsburg.
I call her Wolfie.
Little story. We were on the way to my dear niece's graduation party and I asked my DD to find a station. One word of caution. Satelite radio is uncensored. She turned to hip-hop and got the NON-radio version of some rap song!
I quickly pressed the preset for radio Disney and we experimented no more...
Did anyone hear about Nickleodeon building a huge cruise ship? I suppose I could google it.
Off to bed.. Nitey, nite DDA.
Aww, goodbye Mrs. Blueberry! Congratulations on the new car
Leslie was roughly the same size as Avery when she was born: 5 pounds 2 ounces. We took the girls to the hospital the day after we got home for their heel pricks, and when we got them home, I had to snap a picture of her in her car seat. I had made covers for them, and you seriously couldn't tell there was a baby in there. She was snuggled down into the bottom of the seat, and it just looked like a blanket tossed in the car seat.
It's amazing how tiny they are, huh? I remember holding both of them, at one point, and thinking that it was amazing that I was holding 2 babies instead of just one!
Taking care of my "first twins" (Ben and Savannah) for almost 2 years, I just love how much easier it is to hold two 5 pounders than it was to hold 2 16 pounders!
I do have some good carseat shots that show how tiny they are. And this morning, I got one where Avery had fallen through the neck of her gown (arms out, it was around her chest/belly at night. Whenever I get them posted, there are a few out of the hospital that almost do them justice!
Was Leslie the larger or smaller twin?
How long do you have to keep up the 3 hour thing? Mary was a good eater right from the first, but Leslie wasn't. However, they told us that she was doing well enough by the time we went home, that we didn't need to wake her up to eat. She got a lot better as time went on.
The neonatologist that followed them in the hospital wants us to do q3hours until they (really Avery, but we keep them on the same schedule) are growing consistently. I actually worked closely with this doc a lot at Children's, so I feel like I know her plan pretty well. As it stands, I think we will keep on it until they are about at term, and as long as they are eating consistently and growing well (and Avery is above the 10th percentile and staying there), then we'll continue every 3 during the day and stretch to 4 or 5 (if they sleep that long) at night. They were both eating like champs in the hospital, but now Avery struggles a bit. She's still doing well overall, she's just the nosiest baby. Since they are just now at about 37.5 weeks it's not surprising to me that at times when she's distracted it isn't as easy for her. They continue to ultimately eat well, it just takes some coaxing with about 50% of the feeds.
It's nice to be back on line and chatting with you all.
I've been a bit nervous lately, as I feel like there might be something wrong with my pregnancy. I began feeling the baby move while in London. Not a lot, and not every day. When I was with my parents, the same thing. However, I haven't felt any movement since we got home Sunday night. I'm trying not to worry myself into miscarriage, but it's getting harder. Alan is not here, either. It's primary election day here, and he's covering the results. So, I'm alone, trying not to worry.
I think I'll give my doctor a call in the morning and see if I can come in. I have an appointment on the 2nd of July, but I really need to put my mind at ease about this. I guess I'm on edge because of the miscarriage last summer. I really think that would devastate me at this point.
Since it looks like I'm the only one around, I'll finish uploading my photos and work on my trip report.
We've missed you! I'm glad you felt the baby move a bit more, and that you didn't hesitate to call your OB. I didn't stop being paranoid until literally after both babies were visible in warmers out of my uterus, so I can empathize. I think it is fairly normal to feel them intermittently at 24 weeks, so I hope you are feeling more comfortable with that now.
Debbie, lots of hugs and prayers to get you out of your funk! I can't believe the things that happen. I guess I have every right to be as overprotective of Leighanna as I am.
Elizabeth, glad to see you made it home.
on getting your ME tags.
Glyinis, glad to see you posting! We have missed you! Lots of prayers to you that peanut holds on!
Leighanna lost one of her front teeth tonight. She is so funny! She was talking and surprising herself with how she sounded. Her new favorite word to say is Thursday! Or should I say "srursday"!
I need to get a picture of her. She looks different, but still cute in a "redneck" sort of way!
I am having severe leg cramps and I am afraid to go to sleep! Must be from working out in the yard and pulling weeds on my hands and knees!
Hooray for Leighanna!
Good morning, DDA! 
Sounds like our little family could use this:
That is the most adorable clipart!
:
Wow! Y'all are quiet today!
Then it's your fault! I logged on to about 20 pages this evening!
I'm off to pump and feed, it's (always) that time again!
I'll try to finish catching up shortly, otherwise take care!

Diva wasn't entirely sure which week Ms. Selfish was planning for, so I suppose they could go before her first chemo. But they will probably time it to show up right when Mom is feeling horrible.
I kept saying in the hospital, "The nurses sound genuine when they say they are really cute babies. I can't tell if they're telling the truth or it's just a mother-baby nurse line, but I of course think they are the best!
