Well life has been fairly good we have our moments when I think I am going to loose my mind but all and all ok. The kids are easily accepting of our new routine consisting of going outside daily. It is amazing how they adhere to our routine so easily. I am going back to work for a day while a co-worker enjoys a day off, this will be my first day back since October, ugh I think I will have to work on my verbal skills before I do that. When a patient is being icky it will be hard not to count to three, ha, ha.
Everything is status quo. Jacob and another boy mooned Julia at the playground today. Jake spit on Lois' butt in the bath tonight. Lois is starving for attention, well Julia too. Can she have enough dance performances. Babies are rolling over and working on sitting up. Head bangs on hardwood floors will stunt that progress.

Today was the day...
We were able to walk to the park and play for an hour and a half, the babies were great. Everything worked like a charm. Even better everyone was asleep by nine o'clock tonight. I have looked forward to this day since bed rest last fall, when things were tough I would just tell myself, "hang in there this summer you can go to the park daily with all the kids."
I was reminiscing about the tough times and I just had to laugh at one of the worst moments. I was in the hospital and sleep deprived I was on day 3 of only a couple hours of sleep, cumulative and fell asleep nursing babies in a rocking chair away from the call light. I awoke with a huge cramp in my neck, who knew my ear could actually touch my shoulder. I struggled to make it over to the bed, recovering from c-section, carrying two floppy babies and tripping over a nursing pillow. I made it only to plop Emma down on the bed less than gracefully. I hit the call light and a nurse quickly responded. As I pick Emma up, my gown fall the floor and my huge body is naked as the nurse enters. I am at tears and freaking out. The nurse says to me, "hey didn't you go to University of Mary?" I waited a moment to answer her with clothes on, come to find out she was a classmate. She was always laid back and would say compulsively, "it's all good" well ironic IT WASN'T ALL GOOD! She encouraged me and said I was doing great and in report the nurses said, "she isn't sleeping at all but, still smiling." I guess sometimes you have to smile or you cry. Wahoo! I made it, all down hill from here.
Take care I am going to fold laundry.
