Daycare

Matt called around to different daycare centers months ago, checking policies and prices.  In the time since, we’ve narrowed it down to the new place in our neighborhood that is in an old elementary school.  When we moved into the neighborhood, one of the bonus points for living here was that there was a really [...]

Harry Potter Movie

We may have been the last people in the US to go see the Harry Potter 5 movie.  We’d planned to see it last Sunday, but the kids and I just weren’t up to sitting through the movie after staying up until the wee hours of the morning reading book #7.  This morning was perfect [...]

Sleep

I haven’t had a decent night’s sleep in months.  Rolling over at night is incredibly painful and a whole lot of work.  Last night I was up once every hour to go to the john.  The belly is only getting bigger, so I don’t expect it to get better. And I’m quite certain that once [...]

Even when he was a little bitty thing, he managed [...]

We’ve decided that for the beginning, they don’t need two cribs, so we’re only setting one up in the [...]

July Doctor’s Appointment

I had a doctor’s appointment yesterday.  The usual ultrasound, weight, blood pressure & measuring.  Kids are doing great.  Unfortunately, Baby A turned over and was head up.  That explains all the kicks to the bladder and intestines lately.  I’m hoping she sees the error of her ways and flips back head down again soon…and stays [...]

Week 27

We’ve reached week 27 today – I think 27 is also the circumference of my ankles.  Last week I outgrew my maternity clothes – except two pairs of shorts.  Since I doubted I could push the office dress code that far, we went shopping over the weekend for new threads.  Tried Kohls first for some [...]

Hello world!

Hi!  I need to work on developing a blog for work.  It seemed like a good idea to do a trial run with a personal blog to figure out how this works.  Since the twins will be arriving in a couple of months, I’ll probably provide updates on our progress.  If we end up on [...]
