We volunteer with an awesome organization called Animal Aid and Rescue Foundation aka AARF. They often work with animals that other groups pass over. These include dogs with illnesses or injuries that may be expensive to treat. It includes older dogs and dogs that are considered "less adoptable". They work with all breeds but most often large dogs. They work with a lot of pit bulls. They recently

With the popularity of Facebook, I've let my blog suffer. I can't believe it but Blogger says it's been two years since I posted. I couldn't have read that correctly, could I? A lot has happened in two years (no kidding!) Jack is now in second grade and the girls will be in kindergarten next year. Jack is doing taekwondo at the school that DH goes to. DH and I are both working at the same

The kids are "shopping" with grocery bags and cleaning up the house... one is collecting toys, one is collecting shoes and one is collecting garbage. I am cleaning up the kitchen so i can start dinner.Me: "Please go out of the kitchen and let me finish cleaning up."Jack: "No no no, I'm just here in case you have a garbage situation."I bought some "fruit leathers" which are a healthier version of

I wanted to let all my friends with little ones know about this blog. It's pretty neat... it highlights awesome toddler/preschool books. I haven't seen any books featured that I haven't wanted to run out and buy. I found the blog while perusing the webpage to our local library.They also do a giveaway (US residents only) every Wednesday. We won a Maisy book and it's adorable. Anyway, check them

Copy this note, ask your kid the questions and write them down exactly how they respond.I interviewed my little guy, Jack, age 51. What is something mom always says to you? “Stop”2. What makes mom happy? “When I hug you and kiss you”3. What makes mom sad ? “When I throw things and hit people”4. How does your mom make you laugh? “When you’re silly and goofy and be funny.”5. What did your mom like

Things have been going pretty well. I have been at my position for 6 months now. Three more and I will be permanent! Yeah!Jack is now a big 5 year old. He is enjoying playing basketball on a team at the YMCA. Right now he is watching "Beverly Hills Chicky-wa-wa" with his dad. The other night he said, "Can I ask you a personal question?" I was thinking, what kind of personal question does a

I'm a few days late in wishing my baby boy a happy birthday on here. Of course we have done various things to celebrate all week. I can't believe my sweetie is 5 years old already!! Anyone who mentions college will be on my list (nope, not my Christmas list)!

Well here it is almost Christmas and I haven't posted in ages. We're having fun with the kids. Jack is being cute. Here are a few "Jackisms".He dictated a letter to Santa to his babysitter, it went like this:"Dear Santa,Megan and Erica are here and would like some presents. My name is Jack and I am 4 years old. I would like a remote control car like Carly* and some Moon Sand. I would also

Well, we had a nice Thanksgiving Eve. I got off work early and we ran to the store, rented a few movies and came home to start preparing for the feast. Jack helped daddy and I with pies, fruit salad, and sweet potatoes. It was really nice and fun. We did as much as we could the night before which was really good since when I gave the babies their baths this morning I noticed black things all

I was reading some of my first blogs the other day. I was laughing and feeling very fortunate to be able to relive those memories. I am so glad that my brother got me into blogging and that I put down all of those precious memories. I feel bad that I haven't kept up lately and I want to be better about it. I want to be able to look back in a year or two and see what was happening now.Megan

We got the kids' portraits done. They turned out really nice. I was sweating by the time we got out of there. The girls didn't want to stay put long enough to get any pictures snapped. Whew! I'm glad that's done! Megan is in the jean dress and Erica is in the pink.

We went to the pumpkin patch today and had a blast. Jack loved picking out pumpkins. It does seem like it was a little more fun last year. I'm not sure why; they have the same stuff. Anyway, here are some photos. In the wheelbarrow, Erica is on the left and Megan is on the right... I think.

Aww man!This happened a few weeks ago and I thought that I had already posted about it but I guess not...We were driving in the van and I got cut off and said a bad word. Immediately I thought, "Oh geez," because the kids were in the back. So here's how it went:Me: *&$#^%#Jack: Mom. You should have not said that.Me: I know honey. I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said that. Jack: Mom. Now,

Well, it's official. Both girls are getting their first tooth. They are exactly the same... they both showed up today, are on the same side, and are sticking out the same amount. Who would have thought? I guess they're identical in that way too. I took some pictures that I'm posting here. Jack was all smiles at first... till he somehow toppled the stool and landed on the bottom on his side. I was

I am SOOOO glad that is over. Ugh! I am not a party girl. First off, I forgot all about ordering a cake and I finally did so the afternoon before the party. I also didn't think about providing drinks, let alone thinking to buy cups. People had to eat their cake with spoons because I forgot about forks and that was all that was available at church.The party went pretty well though and the girls

You will not believe what I won!! I won the most beautiful little shoes for the girls!! I am thrilled! They are adorable. I won them from http://www.rosietoesies.com/. They are the Annie Potpourri Pediped shoes and they are gorgeous! Now I need someone to buy a matching pair so both girls can have a pair. *hint hint*

Things have been hectic around here. We went camping for Memorial Day weekend with a bunch of people who either don’t have kids or didn’t bring them with them because then they might have to be responsible and not drink so much. It was an annual trip that a bunch of the guys at DH’s work take. It was in Cliffdell, WA which is about 3.5-4 hours away. It was very interesting to take a four year old

I work for a local municipality in their division that deals with environmental issues. I've been hearing for many years about BIS(2-ETHYLHEXYL)PHTHALATE and the impact it has on marine life. Bisphenol-A (BPA) is not one that I am very familiar with. But the more I read the more concerned I become. It seems like it's everywhere and in everything. The thing I am most concerned about are the items

Wow, two posts in a week. Can you believe it?Jack is as funny as ever. And he is totally in love with those babies. They keep each other entertained. They just love to watch him and touch him and now that they are "interactive" he likes to play with them too. It's so fun to watch. The other night Megan was reaching towards him to the point of rolling over to try to get to him. He talks to them in

Life has been good to us this past month since my return to work. We are very pleased with how our childcare situation is working out. Our sitter is wonderful with the babies and she’s great with Jack. Her little girl (not mentioning names in order to protect their privacy) is 3 ½ and she’s a sweetie. They go to our church and her DH and his family attended the church ever since I can remember.

We got a king size mattress/box springs yesterday. It's VERY comfortable. Jack was so excited that he had to sleep with us from the get-go last night. About 5am this morning I heard a thump as he jumped out of bed and then he ran down the hallway yelling for me. I yelled that I was right there in bed. Apparently he lost me in all that bed!Megan has started rolling over big time and a couple of

I want to get the babies baptized. We're going to do it but it's a matter of when. I'm thinking about their outfits-I want them to wear something special and pretty. It occurred to me that it would be cute to have them wearing matching white-fluffy tutus. Or would that be weird? I found some really beautiful tutus (pettiskirts) at The Silly Wagon here: http://www.thesillywagon.com/catalog.php?

Well things have been going well since I started back to work over a week ago. I miss my little guys so much. They are doing really well at the sitter's though. Jack doesn't want me to leave him so I had to come up with a gimmick. I told him to get the other kids and look out the window and I would walk to the car backwards. So this morning he did and I could see them just cracking up. I walked

We took Megan and Erica in for their 6mo check ups yesterday. Megan has a double ear infection. Poor little baby. She's on antibiotics and tylenol and seems to be feeling better already. I knew something was up when she wouldn't eat and wouldn't settle down for a nap yesterday morning. I figured I would mention the fussiness to the doctor but the doctor looked in her ears before I could even

Jack had his well child 4 year check up and is very healthy. He is 94th for weight and 54th for height but the doctor said he's perfect. He got four vaccinations and didn't cry a single tear. He didn't like it but he was a trooper. He didn't throw a fit or anything. He grabbed my hand and said he just wanted me to come with him (like I wouldn't have?)The girls are 15lbs now (Megan is 15# even and

I haven't been asked all of these but I've been asked most of them. I've gotten the others from other people who have multiples.By the way I know I have asked people the some of these questions before I had the girls. And they weren't annoying until I had been asked the questions hundreds of times-at first I didn't mind. And I still don't mind sometimes if I'm in the mood to talk about

This is in response to Gramma's recent post about God.I go to church-when I can make it out the door in time with all my kids. I like it. I have to say though, that I like the socialization. I don't know that the same will be true when I go back to work.I also like that I am giving my kids the same foundation and education I got when I was little. Jack loves church. I believe that they will be

We are so busy. We are trying to find a daycare for the kids. I go back to work on March 1st. I am so dreading it. I like being home with the kids and I'm going to be paying out more than I bring home by my calculations. I will be contributing to my retirement fund so that's good but we really need the money now. I don't have a choice I have to contribute 6%. I also have to have their health

We had snow today!!! What a nice surprise. I don't remember ever having a white Christmas here in WA. We were supposed to go to Oregon for Christmas but all of DH's family had the flu and we couldn't take the risk with the kids. We had Christmas Eve dinner with our neighbors and it was really nice. Jack didn't want regular green beans he wanted "rolling green beans" (ie. peas). He had fun opening

I have been having a heck of a time feeding the girls. They push the bottle out of their mouths and cry and scream and spit up but once I get them fed they sleep ok so I didn't know what the trouble was. I put the question to the twins message board hoping that someone had experienced this trouble (not for their babies sake but for mine) and someone responded that it sounded like reflux. I called

We were at church a few weeks ago and the choir was singing and Jack was itchin' to get outta there. He was restless and kept moving around while I tried to hold him. Then the choir stopped and Jack turned around quickly and said "Are we done now?" the whole church just roared with laughter. The pastor said, "We're getting there Jack."Today DH was putting together our new table and chairs and he

on 11-28/07 Megan started smiling at me. She's smiled before but this time it was in response to me, it was true interaction. She spent all of the next day smiling at me. Yesterday Erica smiled at me the same way. They are so pretty, especially when they smile!On 11-27-07 Erica weighed 11-lbs 4oz and Megan was 11-lbs even. Jack is still the best big brother.

Jack and I baked some of those Christmas cookies that come already cut out on a piece of cardboard. We plan on making real cookies but this was something quick and easy we could do that he really enjoyed. Anyway, I asked him to bring me one and he told me yes but I had to eat the top off first to make it a gingerbread guy (they are shaped like trees) I told him ok. So he brought me half a cookie

I have been remiss in posting lately. Partly because I've been busy and partially because I've discovered the joys of myspace. If anyone has a myspace account and wants to be my friend send me an email and I'll let you know what my page address is. Mom's doing ok. She's having trouble with depression I think.

We have moved back home as of Wednesday night. The kids and I are still spending most of the day at Yaya's house. Mom was getting frustrated with Jack which I took as a good thing since when she was out of it and not feeling well she didn't seem to care what he did.I think we're all sleeping better at home. We got a raised aero bed to sleep on and it was better than a regular air mattress but not

Aaaaah! We took the kids to church where they are having choir practice. They are providing childcare so they said we could bring the kids. It's so nice to have peace and quiet. I'm getting ready to vacuum. Once mom's off the phone I can do that. It's really busy around here. I think mom's glad to have the quiet, I know I am. Tomorrow we are going to see Fred Claus. Yeah!!!

Gramma's Home!!!We are so happy. We are staying here at her house for a little while to help speed her recovery. She is still on some heavy duty painkillers so when she types it comes out as gobbledygook. Everyone said it would be a lot of work to help take care of her. It's not so far and it gets easier for her every hour. She had a harder time this morning than she had this evening and that's

Well here it is 11:30 at night and I've been waiting for those babies to wake up to eat. I was sure they'd be up by 10 so I thought there's no way I'm going to bed for 20 minutes just to have to get up again so soon. Then I heard them start to stir, I'm not sure how long ago that was, but they haven't indicated that they want to eat which I was sure they would do when I heard them start to make

I think it would be much easier to work than stay at home. At least I'd get a break for 8 hours a day.Jack and I went to Urgent Care yesterday. He's had a cough and cold off and on for 2 months. It turns out he has allergies. I kind of assumed as much but when he told me his neck hurt really bad it scared me. All I could think was Spinal Meningitis. I don't know anything about it but for some

I used to love rainy days. It always meant snuggling up with a good book and dozing peacefully. Now it means a crazy, hyper, bored preschooler running around my house driving me nuts. At least if we could get out for an hour he could run off some of this energy. It's not like we can't go outside. I understand that it's not going to make him sick and I'm not worried about the babies because I have

Anyone who wants pictures let me know!! I’ll be sending them out in our Christmas Cards. In fact I was thinking about getting started on our Christmas Cards.

We had a lot of fun at the punkin patch today. Jacky and Daddy went through the hay maze and pet the animals in the petting barn. He rode on the train that you see above in the picture. He had a blast. Then we came home and waited for our neighbor's birthday party to start. Eric is Jack's best friend and he just turned 12. He is so great with Jack. He lowers the handle on his scooter for Jack to

DH is sick with something rather flu-like. I hope we don't get it. Actually, we might have already had it. I doubt it though because he has had muscle aches and I know that I, for one, didn't have them. So he's been off for two days. I took our big dog, Gracie, to the vet for a bath yesterday. It's an expensive luxury but one we decided was worth it right now, since she's so big (almost 90lbs)and

Jack picks up on everything. Today we were driving and Jack asked me if "Those idiots" wouldn't get out of my way. The idiots were the other cars on the road. I guess I should watch my use of the "I" word. I also tell people to get out of my way while I'm driving. So a couple of weeks ago Jack yelled at some guy in Target to get out of our way. Fortunately he didn't hear him or he didn't realize

Things are going well here. I'm getting some sleep but it sure doesn't feel like much. When Jack was a baby I would just nap when he did but I can't do that anymore because he doesn't want to sleep whenever the babies sleep and I kind of have to watch him ;). I'm still struggling with breastfeeding. The babies are not strong enough to breastfeed solely yet. I can get Megan latched on and nursing

We received a package from my brother Steve and his wife. It was full of beautiful blankets and had a couple of toys for the babies. But the most popular gift of all was the glow stick bracelets for Jack (I'm assuming they were for Jack). I was in a bad mood because I had just run over Jack's scooter and gotten it caught under the car. It was a nice mood brightener. Thanks you guys!

I think these are the first pictures we have of the girls not covered in their blankets. I took their blankets off briefly for the pictures and then I covered them back up again. It's not that they CAN'T maintain their body temps, it's that it takes too much energy to do it. And if they're using their energy to keep warm then they can't use it to grow as well.

We bought two of these; one for each carseat carrier and I've ordered another one for a baby shower gift. I don't think people try to get cooties all over other people's babies, I think they just don't think about it. This sign stops people in their tracks without making me feel uncomfortable about having to say "Stay off my babies!" They are only $4.75 a piece plus a very modest shipping fee at

All is well here. It's really great to have the babies home.Erica is 5lbs 14oz. and Megan is 5lbs 10oz. They have each gained an ounce a day which means they are doing really well. We are having to log their feedings because we can't keep track of who ate what when and who had a wet or poopy diaper at what time. They haven't been pooping much, in fact they both have skipped a day. Every time we

The girls are nearly ready to come home. They want me to stay the night at the hospital and take care of them to get my comfort level up about taking care of them nonstop by myself. I'm not sure if we'll be able to make that happen since we have Jack and my DH has to work. I think he might try to take Tuesday off so I can stay the night Monday and then we can bring them home. At least we're

Erica is up to 5lbs 9oz and Megan is 5lbs 5oz.They have had the nasogastric tubes removed and are eating from bottles exclusively.They are feeding "on demand" which means they decide when they're hungry instead of eating when the nurses tell them to.They no longer have to have special formula or additives put into the breastmilk.These things are all new as of today.

It is so hard to have to visit the babies. We don't get a lot of time there since we have Jack. When he's with us I feel rushed because he's running around the nursery, being a normal three year old. When he's with Gramma I feel like we're imposing (AGAIN-for the 900th time this summer!) and I want to get home to relieve her - especially since school has started and she has to work every day. I

Well the babies are doing well. I asked for their weights when I was visiting yesterday. Erica is now 5 pounds on the dot and Megan is 4lbs 13.5 ounces. The nurse said they're gaining about an ounce a day.Poor Jacky woke up with an upset tummy and threw up all over my bed. He is feeling better now but we cannot go see the babies today because even though we feel fine we could be incubating

He was so excited to hold his babies today. The girls are starting to become more fussy and active; almost as if they've finally realized they've been born. We are still just waiting for them to eat and grow. It's more the learning to eat than the growing I think at this point. Some people (you know who you are) have complained that I don't have updates on their weights but we're too preoccupied

On Monday night we made a trip to the emergency room because I was spiking a 102 degree fever. I kept thinking, "How in the world is this happening? I've felt so much better this time!" I know I sort of explained what happened with Jack but it has a lot to do with what's happening now so I thought I'd go into more detail.I had a classical/vertical incision with our first child, Amelia, when I had

That's what they call the girls. I think it sounds like some type of goldfish.The babies are doing very well. They are off the bili lights and today they should be out of the isolettes (incubators) and should be off of their IVs. Now all they have to do is learn to eat (not a big problem for members of this family) and gain a little weight (also not a problem in our cases).I got to hold them both

There I was thinking I would make it to the end (well at least to 35 weeks) and all of a sudden here they are. It was Wednesday morning when I started having back pain. It was low in my back and different than any other pain I'd had throughout the pregnancy. I was afraid to call the doctor because I figured it was just nothing and didn't want to look like an idiot for overreacting. But I called

I think I've been pregnant for 42 years; which is really bad because I'm only 31. I can't imagine having supertwins (3 or more babies at a time). It must be hellish.Our nieces were up for two weeks. It was a really nice visit. Jack tattled on them a lot. We discouraged that but it was actually kind of funny. When Jack wasn't in earshot we'd tease the girls that they were picking on him all the

All I have to do is make it to Saturday and I can have the babies here locally instead of going to the hospital an hour and a half or more away. That's great. I don't want to be that far away.The babies are 3 pounds 14 ounces and 3 pounds 9 ounces. One is in the 62nd percentile and one is in the 43rd percentile. They said I'm doing great considering the complications I've faced with this

I can't believe I'm only 29 weeks pregnant. I'm so huge and uncomfortable. It's really hard to walk because I have all this pain related to the stretching and repositioning of muscles and bones. It's amazing to me that pain this bad is not cause for concern but I had it with Jack too (although not this bad). It's hard for me to do simple tasks. I folded two loads of laundry and put them away. And

I'm so sick of this house. I want to go somewhere, anywhere. But I'm too tired to do anything. My DH has been working all weekend and this week will prove to be another long one for him and as a side effect; me too. I hope this rain lets up too. It's not even nice enough to sit outside and let Jack play. It's too wet and he doesn't like playing in the rain. The forecast says that it should be

...depends on my energy level.My energy has been really low lately. Probably due to the bairns sucking the life out of me. I can't believe I'm only 25 weeks along. I feel like I did when I was 32 weeks along with Jack.Speaking of Jack. He started daycare today. He did not want to go. He fussed, he wanted to "Stay home with Mama". It broke my heart. In fact I spent an hour after dropping him off

Well I feel a lot better today. I spent 3 hours asleep during the day thanks to Gramma who picked Jack up and watched him yesterday afternoon. She also took him today while I went to the doctor to check up on the girls (info to follow). When I got home we hung out at "Yaya's" house until my DH got home from work and then we took Jack and visited a new childcare facility. This one will take him on

I don't know who would call this bedrest. I remember lounging in bed when I was on bedrest with Jack. I spent all day in bed, reading, watching tv, talking on the phone. I barely did a thing. It really helped too, Jack was born early but not as early as he would have been had I been up and about.This time I have a 3 year old to chase around. There is no lounging in bed, resting. The most rest I

It's been a long time since I last blogged. Today was my last day of work. Monday I was at the hospital for a few hours with some symptoms of premature labor. Today was just crazy at work. I was soooo busy trying to get all my loose ends tied up and showing people how to do some of the stuff I do. I wish we could have gotten a replacement in before I left so I could train them. Oh well, I guess

We had a nice day today. Even though it rained all dayWe went to hide a letterbox this morning and ran into some Geocachers. Then we went to a "living history museum" which was fun. It's very small but mostly outdoors. Jack really enjoyed that. And we got him a stuffed animal. It's a beaver. He calls it his "fever" and he named it "Abby" after Gramma's dog who is staying with us this weekend

At 19 weeks pregnant I am now over halfway through my journey. Normally 20 weeks is the halfway point but for this pregnancy they are going to be happy if I reach 32 weeks. So halfway was 16 weeks.I'm going to be glad to have them and be done with this pregnancy. It's not been too bad so far but I'm still worried about what's to come. I would enjoy this pregnancy a lot more if I was guaranteed

I was driving Jack to daycare yesterday and we passed Jack in the Box (the fast food restaurant). As disconcerting as it is that my 3 year old knows every fast food restaurant in the area it's even more disconcerting that when told that I didn't have any money for Jack in the box; he suggested that I use my credit card because that's what they're for.He woke up this morning and told me that Yaya

Yesterday I had a doctor's appointment. I got to have a shot of progesterone. That really wasn't bad. I'm not looking forward to them every week from now until the babies come but I'll do whatever I have to to keep these little girls safe. (Yes they ARE both girls!)I just realized that I need a watch with a second hand to keep track of contractions. The shots are supposed to prevent them but they

I made the mistake of telling Jack that I will have to be in the hospital at some point for bedrest. I didn't think he'd understand enough to be upset but that it would prepare him a little. I was dead wrong. He now cries whenever I leave him at daycare. He sobs and carries on, won't let me leave the room, stretches my shirt out and then lies on the floor wailing. I have started to tell him the

Jack wanted to sleep in our bed the other night. I told him he could lay in our bed until Daddy got home and then he needed to go into his own bed. He said "I'm going to talk to Daddy about that." I told him to go ahead but I didn't think it would make a difference. He wasn't snotty when he told me, just matter of fact.Sometimes he'll ask me if Daddy can snuggle him at night and I tell him to "

The other day I was crying (that happens when you're pregnant-you cry over nothing). I don't cry daintily, my face squeezes up and I turn bright red. Jack says "Mama, are you trying to poop?" I wasn't crying anymore.Jack wanted a piece of Easter candy and I said he could have one after he put on his shoes. He wouldn't put on his shoes so I turned to the dog (she was the only one there besides

Well it’s been over a week now since we said goodbye to Jack’s favorite friend; the binky. He loved that thing. I remember him going to bed with at least ten of them at one point. That was quite a long time ago, before he turned two.We reduced his binky time to nighttime and naptime. We did that around 12 months just because he didn’t seem to need it. If he was upset or sick we’d let him have it.

Almost through the first trimester already. Thank goodness. I'm feeling a lot better. Still tired but not nearly as sick. I have to be careful and make sure I eat regularly or these two start getting demanding. I'll be feeling fine and all of a sudden I have to eat "NOW" or I'm going to get sick.Anyway, on to more important things. Jack is doing really well. He's signed up for swim lessons

They're not even born yet and I've only known about these little guys for a short period of time but already I'm attached to them (or rather they're attached to me!) I was worried this morning because I had some symptoms that could be related to trouble. The doctor's office got me right in and it looks like everything is ok. The doctor always gives me pictures of the ultrasounds. The one above is

Well after our news last week that one of the twins did not develop we were relieved. I went back to the doctor yesterday and what did they find? Two babies, two heartbeats, TWINS! I can't believe it. I'm shocked and terrified. I'm also excited and finally that's winning out over shocked and terrified. When they told us in the beginning it could be twins I never really believed it. They said it

To our great relief there is only one baby. The doctor said that the one baby is doing well. That's the good news.The bad news is that they can see the scar on my uterus during the ultrasound and that means that my uterus is compromised. It should have been completely healed and not visible by now. They will take the baby at 35 weeks. Meanwhile they will be doing things to make sure the baby is

We had a really nice weekend. On Saturday Jack and I hung out with Gramma at her house while DH went paintballing. That evening we went to a Mexican restaurant and had Jack's birthday dinner which he didn't eat. They sang to him and took a picture with a sombrero (sp?) on his head and gave him a free dessert which he didn't eat.Sunday we went for a drive down to Ft. Columbia which is a spot my

I'm feeling icky. I think the morning sickness has set in. I waited all day yesterday to take my prenatal vitamin until the queasiness wore off but then I decided I'd just have to suck it up and take it anyway cause it wasn't going away.

I'm only 5 1/2 weeks pregnant. Already I am on bedrest. At least for now. I had unbearable pain in my back and abdomen yesterday morning and spent all morning in the emergency room.
