Things I can't wait to experience again after the babies are born ( Read more... )

In a much more optimistic mood after a week of sunshine and a good conversation with a friend the other night. For some reason she helped me get a better perspective on where I've been (thank you ms. J) and the things I've learned and accomplished. Just because something didn't work out exactly as I envisioned it doesn't mean it was a failure. I am ( Read more... )

Hallelujia! It's sunny in the Land of Constant Rain. I can finally take my fancy new camera outside to play with it. I've been waiting to do this since Christmas, but it's rained every day. I'm thinking maybe I'll go down to Matthews Beach today and walk around ( Read more... )

One of my kitties is sick. He's been in the hospital for a few days, they don't know yet what is wrong ( Read more... )

I'm getting more used to the idea of twins. It turns out that there are a ton of resources and support groups for twin (and more!) moms, so I feel very fortunate! I am going to join the local moms of twins club and get a big sister to help me with all my worries and questions. Plus in the spring they are having a huge garage sale of all twin stuff ( Read more... )

I went for my amnio on Monday and settled in for the pre-procedure ultrasound ( Read more... )
