THEY'RE HERE!!

Ok Ok, sorry I've been a slacker today, I told some people earlier today that I was going to post a picture and never got around to it! We were bombarded by visitors practically all day. It is now 8:30 pm and I got about an hour of sleep last night from about 11-12 am and then 30 more minutes from 3:30-4am...so I am exhausted!!

Anyways, here is the exciting news! My boys are here!! Sorry I don't have it in me to go into all the details right now, but my water broke this morning at 4:50 and we rushed to the hospital. Everything was perfect and I can't wait to share all the details. Baby A (on the right in the photo) was born at 8:34 am and was 5lb 15oz and Baby B (on the left) came 4 minutes later and he was 6lb 2oz. We had both of them with us for about 2 hours and then they took baby B to the Nicu where he still is because he is having a little trouble breathing due to a little liquid in his lungs. We are hoping he is back up with us in the morning. We shall see! Anyways, I finally got some dinner to eat, so I'm going to go!! Just thought I would share our exciting news!! :)

Home Again, Home Again Jiggity Jig!

Well, today was the fasted I've been in and out of the hospital. Even though we were called back late for the non-stress test, it didn't take long and I was only 20 minutes late for my dr appt, and then when I got up there Dr L's nurse was waiting for me and took us right back.

Today I measured 46cm. Yippee....I am still growing! :) And then he checked me. I am 4-5cm and still 80% effaced. I can't believe he sent me home!! :( I didn't think he would when I heard the 5cm part. He must just be trying to buy as much time as possible. He said he was thrilled I made it to 36 weeks, and now he is going to be greedy and try for 37! Blah! So he scheduled an induction of next wednesday, October 1st. But honestly I don't see myself making it another 6 days, we'll see though. I am having contractions all the time, during my NST they were 6 minutes apart. So it could happen any time!! I'm getting a little nervous!! But there is an end in sight now, don't know if I'm completely ready for it, but it'll be awesome to meet these littles ones! :)

36 weeks!

Well here I am! 36 WEEKS! I didn't imagine I would have made it this far! But here I am in all my big belly glory!!
We are heading to the dr in a few minutes. Nonstress test and then dr appt. I am a little nervous because my ankles have swollen a tiny bit in the past couple days (normal, I know...so why am I freaking out?) I have gained more weight, which also makes me nervous, because it was like 4 lbs in the last week...making my total around 10 lbs...and then I have been itching like crazy! I'm trying not to think about it much, everything will be fine! Josh is going with me today! He's come for all my ultrasounds, but he's never been to a NST!

Anyways, I'll let you know if anything happens!! Happy thursday! :)

Still Hangin' On!

Well, I'm still here! I figured it's been a couple days since I last updated...so I would let you all know that nothing has happened yet. I keep getting phone calls. lol So, yah. 1 day shy of 36 weeks! Still having contractions like crazy! Quite a bit of pressure and pain! I go to the dr on Thursday (if they don't come before then) and I will have a nonstress test and then the dr will check me! I am really hoping he will just send me down and break my water or something. But then I lay here and think it would be crazy to have babies in 2 days! I am so ready to be done and so scared at the same time!! :/ What am I gonna do?!

I'm going to have Josh go with me incase I do get to stay. We'll just have everything packed in the car...espeically since when we went in over the weekend we didn't take anything. So now at least we know what we want to have there. I'll take the laptop...they have wireless, so I can keep you all updated if we stay! Cross your fingers for us! :) I guess it's late and I should try and get some sleep...although it is nearly impossible! Here's to another day! More later! Ciao!

Cutest Nursery, Ever!

I know I have already posted today, but I have had these pics on the camera for a few days and I need to get them up!!

On Friday my mom brought down her cute, very talented friend Paula! She is a very good artist/painter. She was going to paint my airplanes and clouds in the nursery for me so it could be done! I have gone back and forth with doing the planes in vinyl, trying to paint them myself, etc. This was definitely the best choice!

Here is the window, and the cute valance that I designed and my mom sewed it for me out of the receiving blankets I bought that match the bedding! Nothing like $10 for a valance and a blanket left over! :) Anyways, doesn't it look awesome? I looked everywhere trying to find a cute saying to put on the wall but I couldn't find any thing that I felt went in a kids room. So on friday I was looking online at different vinyl letters sites and found one (can't remember where) and there was a link for kids/babies and then nurseries, and the an aviation theme link. Most of them were really corny...but I fell in love with this one! "I love you as high as the airplanes fly" Perfect, so I had her paint it on the wall!
Here is above the cribs...
Above the other crib, and around the corner...
By the door and closet...and you can see the cute dresser my mom painted for me. I had the drawer fronts white washer, and one of the drawers was broken (thanks dad, for fixing it for me). Anyways, she painted the fronts all brown for me!! I love the way it looks!! And you can see the cute diaper cakes that Alysha gave me for my baby shower! :)
So there you have it...the room is done...they can come now!

Look where I went last night!

After dinner last night, around 8 I was laying on the couch. I felt lots of contractions so I decided I should time them...it makes me nervous to be far from the hospital and the dr said if I have any regular ones that I should go in. So...I charted them on contractionmaster.com (cool website) for over an hour and they were 4-5 minutes apart. They were getting more intense, but nothing really painful. Remember, I didn't feel like it was real labor with Jenica until I felt like I needed to push...and when I got there I was a 9. I definitely do not want that to happen again. So, I made the decision that I better go into the hospital and get checked.

We left home around 9:30 and took the girls with us, we figured if it was the real thing we would get my mom or josh's mom to come get the girls. We got all checked in and they put me in a room and I changed into the hospital gown. I guess when I was in the bathroom changing Jenica got really concerned and asked Josh "is what they are going to do to mommy going to hurt her?" Anyways, the nurse checked me...I was still a 4, but she said I was about 85% now. They got me all hooked up to the monitors and my contractions were showing up every 3-4 minutes! So they watched me for an hour and then checked me again. Still the same. Kinda frustrating.

She said since I am having twins they wanted to monitor me at least another hour before making the decision to keep me or send me home, so they did for another hour and a half. They were getting painful, enough that I couldn't sleep through them. I was hoping I was making some progress so they would just keep me, but when she came back at almost 2am to check me, I was still the same! :( So..they sent me home!

By the way, Josh's mom came up and got the girls to come sleep at her house, we would've just taken them there before we left, but no one was home. They left with her around 11:30 or 12.

Anyways...the last hour of contractions were one after the other. If you looked at the computer it was up down up down up down...no space inbetween. But after 3 hours and no change, I was done. I was worried about having painful contractions and not being able to sleep when I got home, so the nurse gave me an ambien to help me sleep. It definitely did. We got home at 3am and I slept until almost 12:30! I still feel exhausted! So it was quite the eventful evening...too bad these little boys didn't want to come out yet! Maybe soon!!

VOTE FOR KARI!

Ok, my sister in law talked me into doing this, since my belly is all nice and big...so I entered my monster belly in a "Baby Bump Watch" contest! So voting started this morning and goes for a week!! Please help me out and go vote for me! It only takes a second, you don't even have to look at my picture (it takes forever to scroll through all the entries)! So here is all you need to do:

Click HERE!
Select Entry 114
Type Your Email Address and Submit!


Then they send you an email and you have to click the link back to their site to confirm it. Lame, but I guess that is their way of restricting the one vote per person/email thing.

Anyways, thanks tons!

Now What?

Something good did happen today...I had my NST scheduled for 11 and they actually called me back at 11! It was A-MAZING! I was so used to waiting for over an hour. Lovely! So, baby A didn't want to cooperate so he had to get buzzed a couple times. It felt crazy! Baby B has also surprised me again, the ultrasound showed that he is mostly head down. Shocker! So now I have 2 head down babies! All ready to make their entrance!

So, then we went up to the dr, where surprise, we had to wait for quite awhile. They were way behind. So I got in with the dr finally and he measured the belly....45cm....he said the biggest he's seen is 48cm. I'm getting there! And then the fun check...I am now 4cm and 80% effaced! I was completely shocked when he sent me home and said I could still last another 2 weeks. I don't know what happened, and I feel bad for complaining of my pain last night...but you would not believe the pain I am in now! I could hardly walk out of his office. He offered to get me a wheel chair and I said no...I'd be ok. Well...I made it out in the hall, almost to the elevator and couldn't take another step. My poor mom had to go clear down to the 1st floor and get a stupid wheelchair and bring it back up to the 4th floor. I felt like such a retard riding in it.

Anyways, we stopped and she picked up lunch at skippers on the way home! I haven't eaten there in ages! So when we got home and I had to get out of the car and walk into the house it was horrible. I cried it hurt so bad, besides the fact it took like 5 minutes just to walk to the couch. I hate getting up to go to the bathroom now because I cannot walk. What is wrong with me!?

So, make sure you check out my pictures from this morning that are below! I just wanted to update you all! Oh, and I am still contracting like crazy! I have tracked them for the last 2 hours and they are every 6-13 minutes. Nothing totally regular, but I am still worried about when I should go in. I just pray that my water will break this time early on so I will know for sure. Incase you didn't know...with Jenica I got to the hospital and I was a 9, and my water still hadn't broke! So I need to be really careful this time! Please tell me your good epidural experiences because I am so freaked out about getting one...I have never had one before! Ok, I'm about to fall asleep! I'll keep you posted!

A few pictures...

Apparently some (Angie, hehe) were confused when I promised lots of pictures for listening to my complaining, so not to disappoint, here a couple to show off my wonderful size!  And by the way, I meant I will post lots of pictures of the babies when they get here!  :)  So, here I am, 1 day shy of 35 weeks!  WooHoo!  I am so happy I have made it this far.  I will let you know what I measure cm wise after the dr appt.

And here is a nice close up of my nasty bare belly...showing off my size around in inches, almost 48!  Yikes!
And here what I see all the time, miss Kaitlyn kissing my belly!
Well, that's all I have, gotta get movin' so I make it to my appt a few minutes early.  Maybe if I get on the list a little earlier then I won't have to wait over an hour today!  Guess we'll see!

Oh The Pain!

I really hate to complain...but this will be over soon...and then you can all put up with complaining about lack of sleep, feeling like a milk cow...you know...all the fun stuff that comes with having a new baby, in this case, babies! :) But there will be lots of pictures that will make it worth it all! Now I'm getting ahead of myself, hehe!

So yesterday I spent yet another day sprawled out on the couch! Surprise! Anyways, I had the laptop laying on the ottoman next to me and I don't know if it was the way I was laying or what, but baby B (my breech, transverse, who knows how he is now, baby) wedged himself in my right ribs. I could feel it starting to hurt yesterday, but by bed time, it was KILLING me! I probably woke up every hour last night...it was horrible! It feels like I have a huge bruise in my ribs and everytime I move, it hurts. Tons of fun! As long as I don't move, it doesn't hurt! : )

Tonight it is starting to feel a little better, so that's nice!

Saturday I was off my pills for nearly 13 hours before Josh got the refill picked up! I was having regular contractions all day, 5-6 minutes, up to 10 minutes apart. He got the pills and I took one and after a little bit they started to taper off. I still had them, but not like I had been. Josh and the girls went down to Utah Lake with his family and went boating. They had a lot of fun. And once I started feeling like it wasn't "baby time" I felt better. They were only down there for a few hours.

Sunday we went to Josh's grandparents for dinner to celebrate his moms birthday. I hobbled out to the van, and when we got there I hobbled to the most comfy chair I've been in in a long time! They have the coolest lounge/recliner outside chairs, so I was all laid back, and rested my dinner on my belly. It was hilarious because the babies kept kicking it and trying to knock the plate off! But while I was laying there I started having a bunch of contractions and they were starting to get painful! Then the moon started to come up...Full Moon...I started thinking that was the night. But once we got home, they stopped coming so regularly and look...i'm still here!

I keep having contractions off and on...I go to the dr tomorrow. Non Stress Test at 11, and then I will be checked by the dr afterwards. I am very interested to see if I have progressed due to the amount of contractions I have been having, and all the pressure I have been feeling. Like the one I am having right now! Ouchy!

The plan was for my friend Aimee to go with me to the dr so I didn't have to go alone. My mom is coming down tomorrow to help around the house and do dinner for us. Then Kaitlyn preschool teacher called and she cancelled class tomorrow due to a family emergency, so I had to make a change of plans. My friend Tamara is going to watch Kaitlyn, and Josh will drop me off at the hospital on his way to work and my mom is going to meet me there. She seemed excited because she's wanted to see an ultrasound done, and they do one at the beginning of the NST, so that'll be cool. Hopefully the nurse looks around a bit like the last one did instead of just measuring the fluid. And then we get to watch the heartrates and such! Then hopefully I come home and make it another week. But I think if they come before then, they'll be ok. Guess we'll all see!

I just planned on coming on here and giving a quick update and now it has turned into a book! Sorry! Hope you all are well!

Monkeys!

So as I have been laying here the last 2 1/2 weeks I have been thinking about what I want the boys to be for halloween! Did I try to find a little costume, a halloween outfit, what!? Not knowing what size they will be has made it even more difficult. But I realized they will probably be at least a month old when it finally rolls around. And it's not like I plan on taking them out trick or treating or anything...but Josh's work has a big party every year where the kids can go and go trick or treating in the offices and then they take a picture and we get yummy treats. So I plan on at least going to that. And I want them to look cute.

So after much looking around online, ya know, with all my free time and all, I came across this cute sock-monkey looking outfit on crazy8.com (a new store from gymboree). When I first found them they were almost $25 a piece. Out of the question. Then I went back a couple days later and they were on sale for $14.99, and then I found a $10 off $30 code so they ended up being $10/each! They came in the mail the other day and I am soooo excited! They are so stinking cute! Now I need little babies to put them in. I just hope it's not way too big!

Just wanted to show off the cuteness I found! I am having lots of contractions this morning. I ran out of my terbutaline pills at 3 this morning...I'm waiting for Josh to go get me some more. I'm nervous because I am supposed to take them every 3-4 hours and now it has been 10 1/2. They don't completely work anymore anyways, but they do help. So hopefully he goes soon!! Not ready to have babies today! :/ Although today was the date I would've wanted! The 13th is my lucky day! :) Anyways, have a great weekend all!!

Still Here!

It's kinda been a long day! I slept in until 10. Josh worked from home today so he was up with Kaitlyn while I slept. I figure it's ok because I don't get much sleep at night, so I gotta get it sometime. I headed to the hospital a little after noon for my appointments, I figured it wouldn't hurt anything to be a few minutes early, but traffic on Redwood was HORRID because of the construction. So...I got there right on time. I checked in for my non stress test and the wait began. Over an hour, again! It's so annoying. Then they finally took me back and did an ultrasound to measure the fluid, which was perfect, so that's good. Then they got me all hooked up and started recording it and then realized they had it under the wrong patient and had to go back and start it all over. Baby B, my breech baby, is breech no more. He is now transverse across the top of my belly and Baby A is still head down ready to go.

Oh, and at the end of the test I had a massive contraction that lasted 8 minutes! It was painful!

So then I headed upstairs and was over an hour late for my dr appointment. It went well! all the usual stuff and he checked me again. I am still at a 3 and 70% effaced, so that is very good! We'll hope for another week! Anyways, just thought I would update you all so you knew what was going on!!

EDIT: I forgot to mention I measured 44cm :)

Nervous

Well, tomorrow afternoon is my NST (non-stress test) and then I will see the dr and he will measure and check me. I am a little nervous. I have been having lots of contractions despite being on these pills. Most of them are nothing, but some of them have been pretty big, or at least they feel that way! So we'll see what he says!

I am ready to be done, but at the same time, I am sooo not ready! I think I'm ready to not be a whale anymore, but I'm not ready to have TWO babies! Still kinda freaks me out! Hopefully I can get some good sleep tonight (yah right) and be all nice and relaxed when I go in. Josh is going to work from home tomorrow and stay with the girls while I go. Hopefully all will be well and they will just send me home, if not and I have to stay for any reason, Josh can run the kids to his parents (across the street) and head up. I almost feel like I should pack a bag, just in case. I really don't think I'll have them tomorrow or the next day, but you never know.

I am just thrilled to have made it through 2 weeks of bedrest. It has been hard, and horrible, and a million other things, but it seems to have gone by pretty quickly, so that's good. If I make it another 2 weeks, I hope it goes equally as fast. So here's to not knowing!! I will update you all tomorrow!

On another note, today my awesome friends (Tamara and Danette) brought me lunch and we watched th enew Barbie movie. lol Ok, we didn't reallly watch it, the kids did. Tamara picked me up a delicious salad from Wingers, which of course I couldn't finish, so Kaitlyn helped me out! And I think Jeni ate some of it when she got home from school too. It was fun. It's good to have visitors, even though I can't do much. I did help Danette make her blog pretty though, so if you want to see it, you can see it here! It was fun to do something productive. I haven't done anything like that in a long time! I started looking through pictures from the fair, but never got them uploaded, so that will have to wait.

Well...with baby day approaching and no baby names picked out, I am going to look at Nymbler and see if I can find some I like! :)

Day 12...

yup, my titles are exciting! You'd think I could come up with something more creative with all my free time and all! I have made it through another weekend, and I am laying here on the couch, still pregnant, so that's very good! Even though I am extremely uncomfortable and it's only getting worse! You'd think it would be nice to lay around all day, but believe me, it's not! My hips and thighs are so achy, it is so hard to find a comfy position anymore! But I don't like to complain, so I'm done! :)

Saturday was my family baby shower! It was fabulous! I got tons more diapers, tons of wipes, blankets, cute clothes, a crib mattress, and some other great stuff! Here is what I looked like, all laid out on the couch during the shower!
My mom took the picture, and emailed it to me with the title "Beached Whale Sighting"! Thanks Mom! I like the picture though, I think my arms and legs look really skinny...but maybe it's because of the huge mass in my mid section! Or simply the fact that I weigh the same now as when I began this whole thing! Who knows!

I must say that one of the highlights of my weekend (besides the shower, of course) was the German Pancakes that Josh made us for breakfast yesterday! I was getting in the tub and he came and asked what the recipe was. I told him 6 eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup milk, and then told him how to cook them. I got out of the tub and he was just putting them in the oven. 15 minutes later he pulled them out and wasn't sure what to think. He said something about it looking like german...cake! I looked and it looked like a nice fluffy cake. He asked what he did wrong! I had no idea. Then he said "you said 6 eggs, 1 cup flour, 1 cup sugar, right?" I started cracking up! We both laughed for a bit and I couldn't believe he didn't think anything of how thick the batter was. We decided to try it, very very sweet cake. We put some syrup on it and it wasn't too bad. The girls loved it and asked for seconds. I wish my camera had been in the house, I should've taken a picture! Oh well...there's always the memory, right?

My mom is on her way down, I have her stopped at a couple stores for me and grabbing what I feel is the last of the stuff I need! I've been making a list of stuff I felt I need when the babies get here, so hopefully I got it all! She's stopping at Target and getting my crib bedding, I am SO excited! It's on sale this week!! Even better...it's gonna save me like $40! I'm all about saving money! Once we get it all put on the cribs I will finally take a picture of my boys cute room!

Tonight Josh is taking the girls to the State Fair! They are so excited! I am kinda sad though, I think because we have gone for the last 5 years (this year will be year #6). And they are going without me! I feel like I should make Josh a list of things they have to do/see while they are there because we have pictures every year doing it. I don't want to seem too crazy, he better take pictures! So it will be just me and my mom tonight, which made Josh feel better about leaving me, he didn't want me to be home alone incase I went into labor or anything! I will make it until at least this thursday...I am determined! I think I would rather have the dr check me and say you're having these babies now rather than go into labor and have to hurry to the hospital! My girls came too fast and I am so scared of not knowing when to go in and having babies in the car or something. Everything will be ok, I'm just paranoid! And I'm not saying I want to have them this week....another week after this would be great! I'm just grateful for every day they stay in...as uncomfortable as it is...it's better for them! Anyways, my mom is going to get us some pizza tonight and maybe we'll watch 27 dresses or some chick flick! That would be fun!

Alright, i'm starving and want to eat before my mom calls me for our next shopping discussion! I was on the phone with her the whole time at BabiesRUs telling her what to get while she looked for it! It was fun, wish I could've been there though! Anyways, more later, definitely fair pictures soon!

1 week down...

What a day! It was nice to get out of the house for the first time in a week! It was nice to put on real clothes for the first time in a week...although my shorts seemed loose on me. It's after 2pm and I have been gone all day! I am home now and ready to take it easy and spend the rest of the day laying on the couch!

I went in for my first non stress test. My appointment was at 10:45. But they didn't call me back until 11:30! I hate when places are running so far behind. I was supposed to be up at the dr for an appointment with him at 11:45...I was obviously going to be late! So the test went good. The babies had great fluid and heart rates and it couldn't have gone better!! I was an hour late for the dr appt. His nurse was really worried about me and had tried calling me and left a message because she couldn't get ahold of the other office because they were closed for lunch...but I was still in there! It was hilarious, about half way into the test the boys had had it and were trying to kick the monitors off. They were sick of them pressing on them!!

Then I was off to the dr! I lost like 3 lbs in the last week, which makes no sense because I have finally been able to really eat, because they have dropped. At least I felt like they have dropped and the dr measured me which confirmed that they had, I was 42cm...down from 43cm last week. Then he checked me. I was so relieved when he said that I was still a 3, but I am now 70% effaced. Not a huge difference, but he told me to be very very careful! He sounded hopeful to get another week out of me...which will be fabulous, then I will be 34 weeks! He didn't mention anything about making it 3 more weeks...we can hope. We will see! He also mentioned how low baby A is...he said he is "right there". So...here's to another week on the couch and trying even harder to stay down. I think I did really good this week.

33 Weeks!

Yay! I made it a week! Hopefully 3 more to go! We'll see how things go tomorrow at my dr appointment. So here is a naaaaasty picture that Josh took for me last night, I can't even believe I am posting it. I must be crazy! But I feel like the bare belly shows the size better...lol...i'm huge!

Oh, and I forgot to share my favorite "you're huge" story. A couple weeks ago when we were all together for my brother Guys birthday we were sitting in the dining room eating. My oldest brother Adam asked Josh how I shower. Then he continued to ask if he takes me out in the front yard and sprays me down with the hose and scrubs me with a big brush...like an elephant. Now you may think that is totally mean, but I accept the fact that I am huge, and I love hearing what people come up with. Josh and I usually refer to myself as a beached whale...and then we make whale sounds. It's fun! hehe

And now for nasty picture...this is what 1 week of being on the couch will do to you...Nothing else really new to write about in that department until tomorrow. Yesterday was Kaitlyn's first day of Preschool! She loved it! And the best part is it is right across the street! I had to do her first day of school sign, and can't believe that in EVERY picture I took she is covering the P with her hand. So here she is on her first day of Reschool! :) She looks cute nonetheless and she dressed herself. I tried to talk her out of the socks, but she wanted to wear them soooo bad!
And here she is with her teacher, Miss Sallie! Thanks to Josh for walking her over and asking if he could take a picture of them together. Such a mom thing to do, and he did it for me! :)

Boring!

I'm sorry if all of my blogging lately has been boring, since I don't have any new pics to post! I didn't know where my camera even was until just today! It's kinda hard to take pictures when you're on your back all day!

I can't believe tomorrow is Tuesday already, which means 2 more days until Thursday, which means 1 week down, hopefully 3 more to go! If you could even follow that! :) I think about things too much! No one thinks I will make it to 36 weeks...my goal right now is to get to at least 34 weeks...and then we'll go from there! I am definitely NOT ready for these guys to come yet. Not that there is much else I can do to prepare myself now or anything. My body just isn't ready to go through labor and delivery and all that...TWICE! The terbutaline has been killing on the contractions for the most part, but I will get an intense one every once in a while. Bad enough that I feel like I have to breath through it! It scares me! And I think the pills I am taking are causing some horrid acid reflux! It hurts so bad! I feel bad for anyone that has to deal with that on a regular basis!

The rest of our weekend was pretty unexciting! We laid around and watched movies all day Saturday. Josh picked up some pizza for dinner. When he got home he puked! I was really worried that I was going to get sick, but I have been ok in that area...so has Jenica. So hopefully it has passed! Yesterday was spent on the couch, few movies watched. And today...you guessed it...on the couch! We have been very well taken care of!! Last night Josh's mom brought us dinner, then this afternoon we went across the street (and I got to lay on their super comfy couch) for a BBQ and we hung out for awhile, and then my friend Tamara brought us delicious chicken kabobs for dinner (Thanks Tamara, again, you are the best!)! Tomorrow morning my mom will be down until Wednesday evening and she will help with the laundry, cleaning, dinners.

Oh, and I must tell what a HUGE help Jenica has been! I love it! My 6 year old knows how to do the laundry BY HERSELF! I guess that is the advantage to having a front loading washing machine. She puts the clothes in, detergent, fabric softener, knows how to start it, and then when it's done she goes down and changes it over to the dryer, cleans out the lint tray and starts it. When that is done she puts it in a basket and hauls it upstairs. The last few loads have been her own and kiki's clothes. So they have sat here in front of me and folded all of their clothes and then put them away! I must tell you, it is FABULOUS! I wish she was more willing to help sometimes, but I will take what I can get!

And props to Josh...he has been fabulous as well! Getting us all breakfast in the morning, making lunch when he's home, getting Jeni up and ready and to school, washing dishes, puting stuff away! H'e's great! He's really stepped up! Thanks Love!! :)

Ok, it's getting difficult typing while I am laying down, and I have written a novel! So I will be back tomorrow I am sure with more! Cross your fingers these babies stay put! I have a family baby shower this weekend! I can't miss that! hehe
