Another Potty Milestone

Friday, October 27th, 2006

Warning: Boring potty training rambling to follow.
Those of you who have followed our quiet little life know that Lidia has been day potty trained since just before her 2nd birthday. She night trained about a month after that, so diapers have long been gone from our house. Although she has been night trained, for some [...]

You know it really itches…

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

When you wake up and you are itching IN YOUR SLEEP. Can I just say “ow”?
These little guys are really starting to drop down lower in my body and just GROW. My rib cage is suddenly a little smaller again, and the belly is bumped by my legs on stairs and upon sitting. Also, the [...]

NST

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Had my first NST (non stress test) on Monday. Basically, they stick some heartrate monitors on the tummy and a button in my hand–every time I feel a movement, I push the button. They are looking for their heartrate to go up appropriately when they are active. The little buggers kept moving out from under [...]

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

Then we got a good one of Baby A:

So, doctor appointment [...]

The Princess Gene

Friday, October 6th, 2006

Somewhere in vast numbers of known genes, there is one that scientists have not yet identified and name: The Princess Gene. Many little girls (and even some little boys) are wired with this unexplainable fascination with princesses and anything princess related.
Take Lidia, for example. At 2 1/2 years old, she had come to a point [...]

Yes, they’re still kickin’

Friday, October 6th, 2006

I am definately getting rounder, but at first glance one might not conclude there are 2 babies in there. I am not measuring all that high for twins. I will enlist the belly photographer to take a new pic at 30 weeks (next week) so we can compare.
So, I had my first “Is the baby [...]

The Toothbrush Bond

Wednesday, October 4th, 2006

Brushing our teeth. It’s something we do every day. I’ll admit, it is often a time where my mind wanders to the billions of things I need to get done, or to the billions of things I forgot to do. Or sometimes I’m just standing there, still trying to doze off while I get this [...]
