What's New Saturday April 26, 2008?????
Happy birthday Debbie!
My oh my, but these little girls are keeping us all hopping! Every 3 hours we do the "baby alarm!": pick up, cuddle, change, feed, burp, put back to bed and pass out for a couple more hours.
Erin and I had a twins fashion show yesterday. She just kept bringing out adorable little outfits. She organized everything according to size and put most in see through tubs. When they outgrow one size she can just rotate the tubs.
My daughter the anal, retentive accountant! But she has got this twins things down!
We took them to their daddy's baseball game yesterday afternoon. The sun was shining (a rare thing in April in this neck of the woods!) We each had a front pack and they just snoozed away the whole time.
Today after the next feeding, I'll head up to my oldest brother's north of Seattle for the night. I'll return to Erin's tomorrow afternoon in time for Erin and Josh to hopefully go out to dinner for a couple of hours. Between puppies and babies it has been non stop around here.
So sorry to hear about Rusty's mother. Her mom sure raised a keeper. I hope she finds peace in knowing that she did all she could.
I hear babies and Maggie wants out also. You all take care. Karen C

I'm up in the wee hours (5:00 a.m.) and will soon leave for the hospital and "my babies." Saturday rolls around so fast when that's my baby day.
The past week I have been busier than usual with "decluttering" my place and getting my mind and body around the idea of leaving for two weeks to go to the mainland to help my son and DIL move and with the baby due on May 12th. She is scheduled to be induced on the 12th, even though her due date is the 22nd because she is so tiny and her babies get SO BIG! Both Brock and Brady were over 9.5 lbs.!! My DIL is about 5'2" and weighs nothing. Of course my son is 6'4" and 220 lbs.!! I wonder why those babies get so big.........duh!!
I'm through my whole antibiotic treatment for diverticulitis.....and I hope it helps, although yesterday I had a tummy ache all day, and worry that that wasn't the problem at all. What I DON'T need or want is to get sick while I'm in Calif. with the kids. Sigh.
Karen C. sounds happily engaged in babyland....both puppy and baby people!! I'm so happy for her and her wonderful family.
Many of you are busy and living your lives fully.........that always makes me feel good, and I almost always start my day with you all....AND my Kona coffee! It just seems like a warm and fuzzy chat with my sisters and brothers before starting to do whatever the day holds.
Hugs to you all.......present, or busy and off living life. I am thankful every day for all of you, and for WLS which has changed so many of our lives forever.

Howdy sistahs and bros, Haven't posted much lately, life is so crazy. The in-laws are still hanging in there....FIL is now in a nursing home and trying to get stronger to have the cancer surgery/reconstruction and MIL is home with much trepidation...she does have a nurse daily and my DH stays during the week. (Gives me a bit of peace and quiet since my adjustment to his retirement has not been so positive!!). My DS has kept me hopping...track, scouts, school, skating, yada yada yada! I even had a few procedures this week...heart stuff...don't think it is anything serious, but should get results by Friday. I think my ticker is tickin just right. This morning, my DS and DH went to see the "Bodies" exhibit at the Science Center. It is very controversial, but he wanted to go before it left the city. The Scouts went and were prepped for it. Apparently with the news about it in the media, there are lots of ethics questions being raised. I tried to prepare him as much as I could, but for some reason, pubescent 13 year old boys are totally smart and resilient!! We'll see...if there is even 1 nightmare tonight, so help me, I will f#$&*........well you get the picture. I wish y'all a great and wonderful Saturday. It is 75 degrees and sunny in the 'Burgh!! Yippee! Hugs, Lora
Tomorrow is blood pressure day at church. Every time I use it I send up a special prayer for the wonderful women who gave me my electronic stethoscope last year. It magnifies sound 18 times louder and enables me to do blood pressures and hear heart and breath sounds...and feel like I can still do some kinds of nursing. My parish nursing job is often visiting shut-ins, so my stethoscope comes in handy there as well.
Hope all have a terrific weekend.
Cheers, Rusty
