Wanted: a beautiful house and someone to buy mine

We are meeting with a real estate agent/friend tomorrow to talk about selling our place and upgrading to a house. We have a small condo and thought it has been a blessing for the last 3 years, we have simply outgrown it by adding twins and a third on the way.  I know its a horrible time to sell, but we don't have a choice! We need space! Whether we have to rent or buy it, I am not going to feel sane until we have a plan that includes 3 bedrooms. Wish us luck!

Sweet Angels

Sydney joined her sister tonight. Please continue to pray for Brook's family as they remember their angels. We are continuing to raise funds for them and possibly some kind of memorial project for the girls. Check out my side bar to donate. 

Horrible News

Brook and her family have lost one of their sweet girls, Carynne. Many of us have been praying for them and raising money for their family as they try to somehow say goodbye to their baby girls. My only solace is that she is resting peacefully with Jesus now, free of discomfort and her disease. Please keep their family in your prayers.

I also got word today that a local family in my multiples club lost their mom this week due to a car accident.  She leaves behind her husband and 5 year old twin boys! I don't know how to make sense of any of this. It is too painful to imagine. These stories keep me humbled and incredibly grateful for my healthy family and friends. Peace and comfort for all who are grieving this week.

It's been a good week. The babies are feeling better and are back to their silly selves. Tater is going to crawl any second and Gracie's long stories keep us laughing.  Sean and I are close to kicking this cold too.  We both cough a bit, but nowhere near the crapfest that last week was.  

I am feeling good on the pregnancy front too.  I haven't gained very much weight (especially considering the endless number of Big Macs I've been eating).   This is a tough time of year though in school.  I don't get a break until spring break in April.  The kids are going nuts and driving me crazy some days. I don't think the pregnancy hormones help in that department.  I almost told a kid to "quit it-you're bugging me" the other day, but I resisted.  They frown on that. 

9 Months Old!

"Threatened Miscarriage"

It has been an eventful 24 hours. Last night before bed I notice that I have blood all over my underwear, but I am not bleeding. Doc says come in in the morning.  This morning I wake up and look clean, but after going to the bathroom see blood in the toilet (sorry TMI), so my OB tells me to come over as soon as they open. I go to school, get a sub for the morning, start my class then go to the doctor. I have an ultrasound and it was a scary few minutes looking at the picture and not seeing anything move. Then the doctor saw the heartbeat, Thank God.  Everything looks good and frankly they don't know what my deal is. Maybe a clot (though they couldn't find one) or  possible sign of miscarriage.  They basically told me if it is a miscarriage there is nothing they can do at 15 weeks anyway.  So all signs look good and I am just supposed to take it easy this weekend and wait. Funny how life puts things into perspective quickly. Not sure how you feel about a pregnancy? Let's threaten to make it disappear!  It clarified things fast.  The tech said she thinks it is a boy.  We are excited now and praying for a healthy little brother to join us in August.

Update on Gracie

My girl is indeed sick!  She has a double ear infection, bronchitis and her cold got in her eyes so they are gooping. We got some antibiotics for her yesterday and I can already tell a difference this morning!  Her eyes were less crusty and her spirits are up.  Yay! I am glad I am home with her today still, but I think she will be happy to go to daycare with Tater tomorrow. I hope they are both healed soon, I miss my funny little babies!
