Around we go

Well we are at it again, back to the doctor again tomorrow to get Abby checked out. Abby was running another temp of 101 when she got up from her nap this afternoon. When the nurse finally got around to calling me back she told me that Abby was supposed to be on the antibiotic for 10 days. Yes... yes I knew that. And no if it was going to be effective she shouldn't be complaining of ear pain and running a temp again.

So... I'm not a nurse yet but I do know a few things about these antibiotics they prescribe. If there was ever something that would make you want to know your meds it's having one of your babies on it.

I finally convinced her that Abby needed to be seen and of course the only time they had was with a different doctor tomorrow. The doctor that saw Abby last time she had an ear infection... and yelled at her. Awesome.

I need to switch clinics. I just didn't realize how complicated that could be.

On that same note. The other therapist lady that I love was completely shocked that Abby wasn't going to Occupational Therapy any more. Not that Abby hasn't improved or gotten a lot better. It's just that we aren't done yet. She thought the clinic we see might be new at it and just had run beyond their knowledge. She told me to give it a couple of weeks and if I thought Abby might benefit from more therapy we could take her to another more experienced place.

The ups and downs of it all. I'm not sure what I think about it yet.

K&K are finally asleep after fighting it for 2 hours. Kiley had me up for an hour last night but we are slowly adjusting to them being together in the nursery. I hope they keep getting better! Truth is I'm a little scared to go back to school. I was starting to feel content with my life as it was. 

But I guess that's life... you never get to stand still for very long. Something new is always around the corner.

Tidbits:
I got my TB test done today... as the nurse put the cottonball/tape over the wheel Abby put her arm out because she wanted a shot too. The nurse looked at her and said "now that's a first!"

Driving in the car today Abby was singing "The wheels on the bus go round and round..." She loves the "round and round' part. I asked her what the babies on the bus did "Waaaaah' She said :o)

Abby was driving me a little crazy saying "Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom, Mom..." After many "What Abby!'s" She came close and said "I love you too"

Talk about melt your heart....

I found Kiley & Kara standing in their cribs, looking across the room at each other and smiling/laughing at one another. It's moments like that I know only mother's of twins will get to experience. And it makes up for some of the harder things we go through :o)

I love them all so much

It's a summer thing

Another day of summer has come and gone and the weekend is over. I was busy doing two photo sessions on Friday and we went to visit Tom's friend's newest addition. What a cutey but wow does she have my girls beat! She is 2 months old and just a pound or two less than my girls. I can now say I know what a baby in the 100th percentile looks like but she is such a doll!

We finally moved the changing table out of the nursery and into our bedroom so that we could fit two cribs into the nursery. I must say I'm quite pleased with the result (as long as Tom remembers to take the diapers OUT of our bedroom!) No diapers in the bedroom! I have some more clothes sorting to do, laundry and just general picking up.... and it will take awhile to get things 'set' especially with two creepy crawlers and a speedy toddler in tow. So ignore the 'mess' for now lol

I just heard Abby counting in her sleep... 3...4...5... awww....

She was still complaining her ear hurt today... i really hope we don't have to go back into the doctor again! I also hope the other two don't have earaches. They sure haven't been sleeping the best lately.

Abby left two voicemails on my mom's phone this afternoon. I didn't realize she was actually talking to something!

Kara is starting to jabber now too! It is so cute and I love how excited she is about it. She can crawl on hands and knees too but still will go back to army style if she feels like it.


But their most favorite thing to do right now? Find any... any open skin on my leg, arm, cheek, foot, hand... and blow raspberries. We have taken more than one person by surprise when they crawl over and plant a wet one! It's pretty funny and they get a kick out of it.

All three of the girls are starting to interact more and more. It's like... hey! I have sisters! We can play together!

Everyone is a genius. but if you judge a fish by it's ability to climb a tree, it will live it's whole life believing that it is stupid...
