Hi everyone -
Wow what is going on, I dont have energy for anything at all! I really had to force myself to clean and grocery shop. I sure hope that this exhaustion doesnt last the rest of the pregnancy! And I'm back to having grapefruits for ankles again, they sure are ugly. I've now reached the point of "belly in the way" that doing my own pedicures is sort of out of the question these days, but I'd be so embarrassed to sit in a pedi chair with these balloon like ankles/ insteps - yay summer? Oh and heres some fun, Gracie got sick all over the carpets i just steam cleaned and guess which room she chose to get sick in? yep, you got it the nursery. How do they know these things? She has also found the bag of baby toys/ rattles and keeps trying to pull it down to play with, I guess she thinks they are for her! Umm, sorry puppy. Chris reminded me that at some point Savannah will try to eat Gracie's toys and Gracie already wants to eat Savannah's toys
But I figure that as long as you have a dog, the babies will get lots of exposure for their immune system, right?
Steph - oh honey, what crappy timing for you guys! So does this mean that his reenlistment to guarantee choice of duty station is on hold til he gets back from this next deployment? Ack! How are you going to handle 2 9 month old babies all by yourself? I find it really suspicious that his enlistment is up in July, so they decide to deploy him for what? number 4? in June.

Hmmm, they must be short of available bodies again? I really should "insert my Obama rant here" but I wont because i'm quite sure that no one wants to hear my opinions on politics - UGH, I'll leave it at that, for now at least. OK I suppose we just have to be grateful that he'll be home for their birth and until they're 9 months old, I know alot of other military familes have had that taken away from them, but I am worried about you being there all by yourself, for how long? Jeez and he was just getting started with Zolft & therapy too, I guess they dont care about his PTSD? Oh silly me, what was I thinking?

I'm thrilled to hear you say that he felt happy today. See all it is a simple chemical imbalance Well it sucks, but at least they gave you all lots of notice for it, but can he deal with being away from the babies? Honey my heart goes out to you, I remember how rough deployments were when it was just me & a dog getting left home alone, the babies will surely help the time pass faster, though. Come on, who needs to sleep, right? Whoo hoo for your brother's surgery going well, I've got a good feeling for the pathology report coming back clean. Yippee for that pack & play too! You'll definitely need that for 2 babies plus two floors in your house. You are getting great stuff from craigslist girl! A co worker of Chris's said they have a high chair for us, so yay for that! If I get any energy back today I'd like to wash all the baby clothes and figure out which drawers they'll go in. WTF? with your cable co? 2 days only? They are super strict! And their timing was impeccable, no? Ack! Andrew's mom had / let her DD get pg just to raise another baby? Hmm, I have to say thats frightening and actually reminds me of a certain someone we all know here. ugh. Ummm, yeah what a great idea it would be to travel while so far along with twins? So instead she'll have a baby shower without the twin mama? how odd is that? Hearing things like that make me glad that Chris's half brother & his wife are moving to FL, this week, they sound like they're kinda similar - haha thanks for the heads up on the dish soap
Boy do I have a lot to learn! I picked up 2 books on baby's first year when I got pg, but havent even opened either of them yet

- much love xoxoxo
Babyluv - Yeah, my last OB visit I was thinking I should maybe block the door, so i can get her to answer my questions in the five minutes she's in the room - hahaha. Did you find bedding for Scarlett yet? How's our other twin mama feeling lately?
Angela - Oh honey, you bring up anything you'd like to! We all understand how the next few weeks for you will bring up thoughts that you need to get out of your system, thats what we're here for! hee hee I guess I cant complain oh heartburn since i still eat lots of spicy foods, huh? I cant help it, I love them
Natasha - Absolutely, better safe than sorry when it comes to lifting. I worked as a CNA for awhile, and I remember how bad my back hurt at the end of a shift - ow! But I also always put my residents first before my back, so not so good. Ok so now your EDD is feb 7, I'll change it now.
Gi - Aw, honey with as great as your Kayla is doing you know theres no more need to be nervous, but saying it and feeling are two different things, arent they? I think we'll both be the ones who are still worried until they put those little girls into our arms - which will be soon! eek, I'm not ready yet

Wheres your nursery furniture already? I'll bet Jason is just dying to put it together - heehee
hugs & prayers to us all - xoxo
Hazel & Claudia - I'm missing you both! - xoxo
