Twinning

Wasn't planning on posting anything today because I've been sort of a grouch :) didn't get much sleep last night so I thought today would be the perfect afternoon for napping on this rainy day. But apparently they've had a lot of deliveries between last night and this morning so the floor has been loud and busy all day with non stop nurse calls over the intercom -which I can't control the volume on -so napping just didn't work out.  Saw my specialist this morning and he said everything still looks great. I'm so happy with my girls. Baby A was a little giddy today so we had to put a pillow case in between the monitor & strap in order to put more pressure on the monitor & hear her heart a little better. Oh these contraptions...



Baby B was on a mission again today. Earlier this morning I didn't feel them moving around like I usually do so I was anxious to get on the monitors and hear those heart beats. So of course, as soon as we got her on the monitor she threw a fit and was kicking and moving all over the place. The nurses need a steady hour of both babies' heartbeats tracing on the monitors for my doctors. So after an hour and a half, and 2 nurses trying to get her locked in, we surrendered and tried again after lunch. I just had to hold the monitor down and follow her a little as she tried to escape but I was able to keep her on it for the most part. My wild child :) my OB stopped by while they were on the monitors and she was like "wow are they always this active?" I'm like oh you have no idea... Hopefully they are just staying out of the way of their cords. Lets see if this video will work...



I had a surprise visitor tonight - my twin! Katie and I met in high school and figured out we were born on the same day, in the same hospital, 2 hours apart. We were roommates all through college and we've always called each other twin- oh the irony now :) I'm so excited for her to move closer to us.  Not only is she beautiful but she is a smart little cookie- she is a physicians assistant and accepted a job up here closer to where we live.



Now the challenge is finding a place for her to live that will accept my nephew, Harley. Seriously who wouldn't want this face?! I do!!!

  2. I know of two sisters that were much like your girls. One was easy going and spent much of her time observing the world from her own perspective. You might call her contemplative. The other sister saw life as a gift to grab and ran with it. She once told her Mom mom that she was the rock that kept on rolling and does not gather moss. They were both wonderful daughters, sisters and mothers. One was your mother in law. She is smiling from ear to ear everyday. So proud to be a part of this great family that is you.
