sigh

Well ... it's 5:30 on Friday. No test results till Monday now. Ugh! I'm trying to stay 100% positive and not worry and not think about it because it's probably very very very unlikely that there would be anything unusual about the test results... but I'm still the mom, she's still my little girl... and I still can't help but feel a little crazy.

Which reminds me of how important the receptionist job is... I did it and technically am still a receptionist/scheduler at the clinic she got her tests done at... but one that I talked with today upset me a little. I tend to be very polite and friendly when I ask them questions (because I know how hard that job can be...) but she was very short with me and completely dismissed my concerns. I'm a worried mom... I'm sorry you have better places to be than your job... I tried to be patient and maybe I was too patient and waited till 4:45 to call you... but the idea of waiting all weekend to get the results is maddening go me.

Sorry... I needed to get that off my chest a little. I'm really frustrated and feel like burying my head in the sand... or staining my fence... or just crying...

Abby in other news took a 3 hour nap today. Wow! I gave her Tylenol before her nap and apparently it helped her sleep better. She was exhausted. Of course the other two take turns at napping so I had at least one baby all day. We went to Walmart and Lowes today to pick up a few things... me alone... with 3 kids. We got a lot of looks because I had Kara riding in the Beco and Abby & Kiley riding in Hawk.

We did pretty well until Abby saw the shopping carts at Lowes. For some reason she was irate that I would not let her sit in the carts... not sure I still understand that. But I guess that is toddler for you. They want what they want and that is all that matters.

Kara and Kiley are both trying to stand on their own now. It's for very short periods of time. They are growing up so fast.

I'll try to write more later. I need some coffee for now... and a mommy break.

Nothing Yet...

I'm sorry I haven't had a chance to post in awhile. Those of you who didn't already know we took Abby in this morning for an Echo and EKG to rule out any abnormalities of the heart. She passed out on Monday and they want to be sure it wasn't related to her heart. If these tests come back normal they will possibly do an EEG to test for any seizure activity in the brain.

So far we have not received any news on the results and it looks like it will be tomorrow before we hear anything (hopefully). Abby did very well even if she was very sad and a little scared while they did it. She kept saying "Mommy hold you?" and "Almost done" (repeating the last one that we were telling her) She looked so sad and little on the table but they did an awesome job. She watched Elmo while they did it and took lots of pictures of her heart. I guess we will know one way or another hopefully tomorrow.

Life is good

Grandma Jo came to visit us today and we had a lot of fun. I cherish whenever I get an extra hand, even if it is only for a few minuets. She brought sweet corn and Abby sure loved helping to shuck the corn and of course...

.....eating it (notice the partially stained fence in the background. Too bad it had to rain again!) It took me almost 4 hours to do the north side of the fence and start on the west side. Plus 2 cans of stain. I forgot that I would be doing BOTH sides. Hopefully it lasts 5 years like it said it would! I don't want to do that anytime soon. Abby looked out the window this morning and said "OH MAN! There's more rain outside!" hahahaha she has it figured out....

Kiley is still up and it is 11:30pm... yes I'm so thrilled. We have decided that she enjoys being the only one up and so has a good time exploring all the toys without threat of older sister raining down upon her to steal back her toys. She is hopefully going down soon... I'm tired!!

When Kara get's excited she stamps her right foot up and down. It's hilarious. She gets so excited about this Elmo piano and will scream when it starts playing. She has also started bouncing up and down to K&K's favorite show "Word World." There is a goofy string to her that is for sure! (isn't she adorable in that dress!)

(Kara was mad... but so cute that Abby wanted to hold her babies)

(Before)

Goodnight! Kiley is asleep!
