Thankful Thursday

I'm thankful for my wonderful family and friends. I'm also thankful that I went to the doctor this week and saw my little babies again. One if them seems to be quite active (another Ian??). And I'm thankful I got Ian into a preschool we could afford and he is starting soon. Sorry this is kind of short and to the point, it's better than nothing!

Hailey's new pillow, and other things

Well, I don't have any pictures, but I thought I would write a little update. Hailey got her first pillow yesterday. She has shown interest in all of our pillows so I thought it was time for her to have one too. I didn't have a special pillowcase for her so I put one of Ian's on it. She sure didn't care. When I put the pillow in her crib she started crying until I put her in too. She laid on the pillow and was all ready to go to bed. Since then she is so excited to go to bed and go down for naps. I wish I gave her the pillow sooner! Now she lays down without a fuss and has a huge smile on her face when I leave the room. Who would have thought?

I got Ian signed up for preschool. I almost didn't get up at 7am for the online registration but I am really glad I made myself do it. The class was filled up in 9 minutes, thank goodness I got him signed up! He starts September 8th!

We tried to explain to Ian that I am pregnant and we are having twins. He is pretty excited, the only thing is that 2 babies aren't enough for him. He constantly reminds me that he wants ten babies. Yeah right Ian.... He tells everyone that his mom is sick and we're having twins. Today he asked how the doctors are going to get their hands in to get the babies out. That was a fun question. I just told him not to worry about it and that seemed to satisfy him (thank goodness).

Things are going alright, we're surviving, it's what we're good at. I have been too sick to really get out much but Ian doesn't seem to mind as long as he has the Wii, and Hailey has been having fun destroying the house. Adam is working lots and lots of hours as usual, poor guy. All in all, I'm just glad I'm a quarter through the pregnancy and I'm having another ultra-sound next week which I'm excited about. That's all I have to say for now.

Thankful Friday

I have been so bad about doing Thankful Thursday lately. Gee I wonder why. Well I was determined to do it this week but then I was kind of in and out of sleep all day on the couch yesterday and forgot yet again. So I am doing it today.

1. Zofran - This is my new best friend. It is a medication for nausea and works pretty well in the mornings. By the afternoon I am back to non-functional, but I can get some stuff done in the mornings thanks to drugs and we sometimes even get out of the house.
2. Good health insurance - I can't imagine having a "high-risk" pregnancy with crappy insurance.
3. My sister Jill - Jill lets me come up to her house every once in a while and eat her food and lay on her couch while my kids are entertained by her kids. And sometimes she comes and cleans up the mess at my house. She saved me when I was pregnant with Hailey and is already saving me again, what would I do without you Jill?
4. Hailey has been sleeping in till 9am! - Thank you Hailey!
5. Twins - It really is a blessing and although I am sicker than ever and want to live in the hospital under a coma for the next 6 months I know I will survive and it will all be worth it.
6. I am signing Ian up for preschool tomorrow! - Yippee!!!
7. The Olympics - Adam and I have had a lot of fun watching Michael Phelps win a million gold medals the last few nights. Man that guy's amazing! It is hard not to stay up all night watching the games so we try to record it and go to bed. It's really cool, if you think about it, that all the nations of the world can come together in peace once every couple years and have some healthy competition (to some extent).

What? Are you joking??

Well, some of you may have heard, we're having twins! We just found out on Tuesday and I think I am still in shock. We don't have any twins in either of our families so it is quite surprising. We are excited though, and I am very sick. Which is why I haven't updated my blog in quite a while. It really is a blessing though, since I have such bad pregnancies. I get two for the price of one! I'll try to be better about updating the blog, but no promises.
