Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Tracy: Hugs, I'm sorry it was a rough day yesterday, I'd say I hope it gets better but I know better. YAY done!!!

Katie: Glad to hear that you were able to escape the flooding! I heard that road by the gulf was flooded, but my Aunt and Uncle that live in the area were ok last I heard too.

Jackie: Nope, I had a cold water shower yesterday morning again! He thinks it was maybe having the door to the attic open creating a draft when the garage door is opened so he shut it. I had hot water this morning so here's to hoping that's all it was!

Much better night of sleep tonight than last, even though I was up for an hour with him. He would fall asleep then throw his hand up and start signing milk out of the blue, little stink! Lol, but kinda cute at the same time!

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Jackie - Yay! I bet it's really cool inside and smells new car fresh!

Tracy - HUGS!

Katie - Lots of water down there. Glad to hear your place is dry.

Stacy - Good that you had some hot water for that shower and got some better sleep.

Plumber didn't find anything major yesterday. I'm relieved! I guess we got a good water heater nine years ago. We're not using as much hot water in the summer months obviously. Keeping it cheap people, keeping it cheap.

Oh...Jackie!!! A new car!!! I love a new car!!! (not so much the payments, but a new car)

I'll speak for Katie---the flooding was in FL...NOT where she is now..... I can say that, cause she's not far from me right now!!

Stacy~ Cold showers!! Not fun!!! Well....unless you're on the beach and just rinsing sand away! Yay for better sleep too!

Can ya'll see me doing the happy dance??? I'm done with school!!! I'm done with school!!!! I'm done with school!!!!! Technically, one of my professors could pull that rug out from under me by making me take a final due by midnight, but he said that if we had an overall average of 97 or higher that he wouldn't make us take the final. Last week we did.....no word from him today so I think we're clear!!!

Okay--house is a wreck, laundry to be done, and decisions, decisions on an upcoming vacation. Okay---let's get real, I'm more worried about my dog behaving for his sitter than what I'm going to pack!

Come to ShareUnion 2012: It's the BEST weekend ever!!!  

Augh - it's been a busy few days for us. Yesterday Matt's dad had major surgery, it went really well but we were all at the hospital for 10 hours by the time we were finally leaving. I came home and convinced nathan to put his pajamas on (it wasn't even 5pm yet) and watch cartoons from bed with me: Mother of the Year!!! At one point I feel asleep and he woke me up by opening my eye and asking why I had my eyes closed

Katie, so glad you escaped the flooding!

Jackie, I'm a little jealous that all the T&C now come with DVD standard, we bought one year too early for that. We had one put in though and the boys LOVE it for long car rides. I also love the stow&go - it's a good place to store kid stuff.

Stacy, so glad you're all caught up on sleep. It's always nice when they let us sleep in.

Ugh, I had more but the boys are resting and I now hear little feet upstairs. Better go check it out....

---------->sneaking in quietly, head down in shame---------->

Hi people!! How I've missed you guys!! Why did I ever think summer would settle life down? Ugh!! I won't even try to promise I'll be here more. Dance isn't ending this year, and neither is soccer. And we leave next Friday for Yellowstone, BUT I have been able to hang out with Mrs. Lesh the past couple days. Loving it!

What's going on with everyone? What have I missed? Are ya'll still speaking to me? lol

Angel Love - Jun 29, 2012 12:43 am (#181 Total: 221)  

 

Donna!!!!!!! I'm absolutely still speaking!!! I've missed you too! You might need to pencil us into the busy calendar just to say...."I'm still living" since your side of the country is so busy!!

Proud mommy to Madeline 33 weeker  

I miss all my peeps who are scattered all across the country as most of us are sweating it out literally this week. It was 99 here yesterday needless to say no outside yesterday afternoon.

I wanted to say to all my pregnant ladies on here. Keep it up. I am praying for safe, full term and healthy babies for all of you.

My little Maddie is 2 and half on July 4th. I am not sure where the time went but it is flying. She just jabbers non-stop.

MISS YOU ALL TONS! How many days left till SU?

Mom to Ryley, 26 weeker, Grace and Ethan, full-termers  

Tracy - Two days in a row. This might be a record for me this year. So happy you're still talking to me. lol

Lauren - love ya!!

Been such a good week here, outside of the goodbyes to my parents and to Julie & Riley (Mr. Julie too). Finishing off on a high note - the diamond from my wedding ring is finally being replaced. Wahoooo!! Six weeks without it - ICK! Met with the jeweler this morning to choose the stone and I will have it before we leave for Yellowstone next week. Yay!

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Donna - Of course still speaking to you! Bummer that the diamond got lost, but I bet the new one will sparkle too:) Yosemite sounds cool! Beware of bears - they seem to be everywhere these days:)

Jackie - Are you having fun playing in your car?

Arnara - Jun 30, 2012 12:22 am (#187 Total: 221)

Jackie: Congratulations on the new car!!! I love new cars, and the smell..... I hope you are enjoying, hey you should send your pic to car company and say you are a happy customer, maybe they get you little something......

Lauren: Glad to hear from you......

Liz: hope you are enjoying the day.....

Geri: 99!! wow that is hot.....yes they grow up so fast.... so SU'10 you were pregnant??? I didn't notice......

Tracy: Yeah! for finishing school......

Stacy: Are you getting ready for your WE school reunion??? I hope you enjoy it.....

Lindsay: No sabia que escribías tan bien en español, estuve leyendo algunas de tus respuestas a otras mamas,¡felicidades!

So I spend the day with my princess, we did all she likes, but first I took her for her first haircut in her life....... then her favorite restaurant (thank God it is not Chuck E. Cheese), we went looking in toy stores, and ice cream, some children library, and buying some clothes for her...... we had a great day..... I think we should do it more often, but I am exhausted.....

Happy Weekend everyone,
It is a long WE??

Mom to a 25 weeker who is now 8 years old and a 38.5 weeker who is now 6  

Lorena - Did she like the haircut?!? She looks unsure.
We have a movie theater near us that does $5 movies and free popcorn on Tuesdays during the summer. we tend to see a lot of them.

Donna - Glad things are going well!

Have fun, tracy and Katie!

Hope your trip is good, Lauren.

Arnara - Jun 30, 2012 1:03 am (#192 Total: 221)  

 

Jackie: I think so.... for a couple of months miss V doesn't like that I take pic of her, so she always has a upset eyes or makes awful faces, I think it is probably she is upset by the pic....or the hundreds I took....

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Lorena: Aww, what a cute haircut!!

Update from Lauren: At her NST today her uterus was all sorts of showing out and having contractions and her BP was high too so she's won at least an overnight stay over on Oahu for monitoring. Her cervix is unchanged even with the contractions. She can't update herself because her phone is about dead and doesn't have her charger since she wasn't planning on staying! Give her some good no June baby whammies!

Had my high school reunion, it was....eh. Best question of the night was, "Hey Stacy! How are the twins doing?" Um, still dead, thanks If you're not laughing, you're crying, lol!

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Thanks Stacy! and totally... not laughing youre crying.. lots of laughter over here!

Resourceful nurse found me a charger in the lost and found... score! After almost 12 hours ctx finally slowing.. cervix a lil softer than when I arrived but holding steady. Here is hoping its a very loooooooong boring weekend. Lance and Micah arriving tomorrow... the logistics of all this... oy. Dang Pacific ocean.

Angel Love - Jun 30, 2012 1:55 pm (#198 Total: 221)  

 

Lauren~ I emailed you a few minutes ago, but don't you know that's the most expensive resort on the islands??!!!! Here's hoping for an uneventful weekend and several more uneventful weeks of cooking!

Stacy~ Duh to your classmates! My 10 year reunion was when the girls were a year old. Needless to say, I had to field WAY too many questions that day.

Donna~ Ooo....love it that you're getting new bling!!! Hope the trip to Yellowstone is fun filled and cool.

Lorena~ Love her cute haircut!

Katie~ I hope the A/C is working great for ya!!!

Our temps have been well over 100 for the past few days and is expected to continue through Monday. UGH!!!! At 9:30 last night it was still 100 degrees.....

Lauren - Thinking about you . . .

Lorena - Hubby helps me out there big time. Escribo mejor en frances que en espanol. Miss V's haircut is super cute:) I hope you were able to save some of those precious locks. So neat to have some girl time:)

They're gone. My folks came up to see us. We don't have to see them again until August if we're lucky. Then, I'm safe until the holidays. Kind of glad that we are going to be so busy with hab. It's kind of a good excuse to get out of stuff. Terrible, but that's how I feeling.

stacyat - Jul 1, 2012 2:51 am (#201 Total: 221)  

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Tracy: I was prepared for the "how many kids do you have" question but oddly enough, it never came up!

Lauren: Woohoo!! But UGH and BOO on your other test results!

We went out to dinner tonight, it was a disaster! Took forever for her to take our order, and to bring us our drinks. Four of us ordered the same thing, and the last something different. When she brought it out there were for of that different thing Katie ordered and none of what the four of us actually ordered. They finally put a rush on it and got the food out to us but by the end of the meal it was two hours after we arrived!! They cut the bill in half for us at least.

Akeelah's Mommy - Jul 1, 2012 4:45 pm (#202 Total: 221)  

A moment in our arms, a lifetime in our hearts.  

Lindsay- What's hab? I've missed so much.

Stacy- Ugh, that's awful! Thank goodness ya didn't have the kids with ya... or did ya?

Maybe will be discharged today...

Mom to Donovyn (32 weeker), Tristyn (34 weeker), and Naethyn (30 weeker born sleeping)  

Stacy - I'm glad they at least cut the bill in half for you.

Lauren - Still thinking about you:) Hab = habilitation which will be 10 hours/wk. M-F from 4-6 p.m. I guess it's sort of normal to have your hab person stay for dinner too. Hope she likes tater tots:)

Donna S - Jul 1, 2012 8:21 pm (#204 Total: 221)  

Mom to Ryley, 26 weeker, Grace and Ethan, full-termers  

Lauren - Hugs and lots of positive thoughts coming your way.

Stacy - Honestly some people. Michael is fond of saying if natural selection still was in effect, morons wouldn't survive. Bummer on the long dinner, but at least they recognized their mess-up.

Lindsay - lol....tater tots.

Katie - Safe travels!!

Lorena - 1.5 carats, H, VS. Old one was 1.62, J, and SI2. I'm a happy girl. Yes, it is princess cut. Very cute haircut for Miss V!!

Less than a week until we leave. Soooooo much to do, but I am excited. Took Grace and my MIL to see Wicked yesterday. Amazing. Saw it years ago in LA with the original cast and was a little worried how this cast would stack up. It was awesome. Cleaning and such today. Fun, right? Trying to work out a get together with a friend (at her house, which has a pool - yay!) for later.

stacyat - Jul 2, 2012 3:04 am (#205 Total: 221)  

Mom to Emilyn and Hailey (our 20 week angels) and Elim (our 38 week, full term miracle)!  

Lauren: Yup, we had Elim with us! He was less than impressed but held up pretty well considering. We just kept feeding him small bits of bread from the bread basket.

Donna: Yay for pool time!

For the first time in months my bedroom is clean!! It's kinda nice not seeing deployment stuff/boxes hanging around anymore. Still dusty, but hey, baby steps!
