forgotten password syndrome

well, do people even blog anymore? not sure, but here goes!

The messer-twins turned one!

Mallory finally figured out how to use the potty ( not so good at #2 yet0

Abby has become a mother hen-type, helping us all the time, and can now read Hebrew slightly faster than I can!

jane has her first 2 loose teeth!

Corny, my faithful pup, is still ticking at 10 years old!

enough for now, just wondering if any of y'all are still out there?

4 months later....well....

If you have not noticed, things have been pretty darn busy around here. went into labor the next day after my last post and had them the next day which was 1-8-09.

Now they are nearly 5 months old. cute as can be, healthy, happy, thriving and perhaps 2 of the coolest people I have ever met.

Jeff is doing a great job taking care of them 9-5, and I rush home after my 40 hours a week and fry up the dinner.

Life is whizzing past us.

Abby is 2 weeks away from finishing 2nd grade, Jane starts kindergarten this fall and Mallory is doing her best to keep her diapers until she turns 3.

Corny and Devlin love the babies, too!

May life always be as good, sweet and generous as it has been to me this day. I will never understand what good I have done to deserve all the good I have recieved, but,hey....I ain't complaining.

Mexican standoff!

Now it is just plain selfish of those babies to STILL be on the "inside".

Today is 36 weeks and TWO days, which to me means TWO days way too long. No amount of walking around, folding laundry, grocery shopping and carpet shampooing has coerced these babies into leaving their happy little apartment inside my VERY CRAMPED ABDOMEN.

Now it is personal, babies!

If you don't hurry up and be born today, you are not getting any allowance until you are 16 and I will never let you borrow the keys to the minivan to hang out with all your friends!

I mean it!
Now be nice and come on down!

local mommy grounds twins

In a recent act of temporary preggo-insanity, a local Cedarburg mother decided to "ground" her twin babies for refusing to cooperate.
When interviewed, Chana said: "listen, I have been gestating these babies for 36 weeks now! It is time they stop being stubborn, and hurry up and be born already!"

In a realted story, the woman's husband has been reported to be slowly losing his mind from listening to her complaining and irrational demands.

More news and updates to follow.

5 more days?

it is entirely possible that these babies are NOT coming in 2008. Is it actually true that they might stay in there until 5 days from now (36 weeks)?

I am slowly getting ready to go off of the deep end!

My husband and children are getting close to fencing me off on one side of the house, for their own safety. I'm not at the point of crying all day long, but it can't be far off until it reaches that point.

On a happy note....

The babies should be a nice healthy weight.

I have made it this far, and am still able to walk, drive a car, and generally function like a regular preggo.

I did not miss one day of work or call in sick for even one day in the entire pregnancy.

It is nice to be home during vacation....I get to see my kids and hubby more than I usually do.

I think we are pretty much ready for these stinkers...we only need to do a good grocery trip and the house will be in working order!

most important.....my hubby has not run screaming for the hills to get away from the last 3 days that I have been on the brink of insanity.

He is so darn cute.

preggo watch 2008 update!

Nothing new in big-belly land. I have served the twins with their official eviction notices.

So far, they are not responding.

I even went so far as to work a 13.5 hour shift on Friday in the hopes that they would be annoyed with my behavior and decide to jump ship into the non-water world.

Nope. those stinkers are still in there, leeching me of all my nutrients!

I worked today, also.....still no action in the way of baby contractions.

Now I will gently remind them that I have 4 days of unused paid time off before the end of the year. If I don't use 'em, I lose 'em!

So enough with the gestating, already....babies come on out and meet yer wacky family and friends!

(.....pretty please?)

One more whine for the day

I forgot to mention....

Several friends and co-workers have been asking.... " When is your baby shower?'

Another asked...." I feel weird asking...why haven't I gotten an invite to the baby shower? Is there some reason I am not invited?"

Actually, uh.....

the reason you have not been invited is very simple.

No one gave me a shower, and no one has planned one.

So don't be offended, and don't feel left out. There was talk of a shower from several friends, but none of my friends actually ever got around to doing it, I guess.

I doubt there is anything being planned at this point...I am due in 14 days, and it is christmas season madness.

There may not be a party, but you are always welcome to come for a visit and have a nice snack at my house!
