Icon7 Ok Marian and Jenn lets get some updates here

How are things going in your households?

Marian how is the new little one making out? Still fussy? What are Lilly and Avery thinking of the littlest one?

Jenn- How was Florida? How are the twins? How is Jadon making out? How far along are you now? Are you finding out the sex?

Ok ladies spill the beans I want to know it all and if I can get a picture or two I want that too....Ok, I think Stacie is finally starting to wear off on me!

LOL - Florida was interesting but not what in the way I was worried about the twins were pretty much perfect couldn't ask for better behaving 3 months old. There 5 year old brother on the other hand (I swear he has been raised by wolves - sometimes) he whined constantly that he should be getting more stuff, be able to ride more rides, that he was hungry minutes after he just ate - how we were mean etc. I'm not well equip to handle greeding, rude, and lying children. Jadon tries to lie and can't - he will finish his lie with I'm just joking, Mom! Jadon is also very used to traveling with me and knows what to expect. We often going on working vacations (like this one) where both of us have to do some work while we are away. We still managed to fit in tons of swimming, Seaworld (2x), Busch Gardens, and Disney(Magic Kingdom) in between the work.

Beside Jadon fighting with the 5 year old he adjusting to the baby's rather well. He will help occassionally and is appropriate with them never getting in their face - telling me when they are crying (not like I can't hear them myself), gets stuff for me while changing diapers. The only thing he really doesn't like to do is hold their bottle - he says it takes too long. I would like to get the 5 year old tested as he seems to be where Jadon was emotionally and mentally around 2 and an half and he is suppose to start kindergarten in August. The lastest he thinks we are mean because we are trying to teach him his letters - we have those leap frog fridge magnets but is not retaining even 3 letters right now. I don't believe that he is mentally challenged as he can remember almost every detail about the Spiderman and Pirates of the Carribean Movies (mind you - I'm mean again because I don't my 4 and 5 year watch these kinds of movies repeatedly) Its PBS, Noggin, Playhouse Disney, Discovery Kids and Nick Jr. programming all the way at my house where you can actually learn something from watching tv. The twins seemed to have made great strides in development. Peanut is now rapidly gaining wait is out of premie clothing. Buhda is huge and living up to his nickname I can put him in 9-12 month clothing! Peanut will sleep thru the night, Budha wants his food. They are both smiling and babbling. Learning they have arms and legs. Buhda can sit unassisted for about 5 seconds. Peanut will "stand" and raise her arms like she is saying YEAH look at me with a huge smile on her face. Budha wakes up at five just so he can smile at me - its our bonding time. Both of the twins definitely get worried if we are out of sight and start fussing if someone else is holding them and they can't see us. I feel so bad for these littles ones because they will be firmly attached to us and us to them by the time they go "home" ok aren't you glad you asked for an update - I could go on and on about them!) But for your sakes I'll stop here (for now)

Pregnancy wise - I try not to do too much updating here because I don't want to make anyone upset. I know some people (me included in the past) needed a pregnancy safe zone. But I went for my 16 week check up right before I left for Florida. HB was in the 140's and sounded really strong on the doppler. BP and Protein was great. While we were gone the baby started really kicking so I can say that I'm definitely feeling my jellybean daily now without much wonder. I have my BIG US at 19 weeks (pretty much sure we aren't finding out gender) which is less than 2 weeks away but I have to wait for my 20 week checkup at 21 weeks because my OB will be out. It seems really surreal that this pregnancy is essentially half over - Nov seems so far but so near all at the same time.

Wow! What an update Jenn. You are a busy, busy woman.

I have a two-week old crying to be fed. A eight month old trying to eat my feet and my three year old yelling at me to help her with her pants right now, so I'll get back to you on my update! Or maybe that was a good update???

Ok Ladies you have got it all going on right now.

Jenn, I swear you ROCK! I loved hearing all about the kids. I had completely forgotten you had the 5 year old with you too. He sounds like such a handful but you know what I believe if anyone can get a breakthrough on him it will be you and your family. No spiderman movies or Pirate movies over and over, man I'm glad your not my mom. just kidding-- L and I were just talking about t.v restrictions in our house once the baby gets here too. I think it is great you stand your ground on this. I can't wait to see pictures from Florida it sounds like you all had a great time. L and I do the working vacations also they are great for us. Infact we leave on friday for the beach which is having a conference in the area that she will attend part of the time.

I'm so glad the PG is going so well and I can't believe how the time is just cruising along. You are right though I probably shouldn't have asked about it hear. I can totally understand the no PG talk safe zone since sometimes I feel like I need that too. I def was not thinking of other people's feelings at that time. At the time I just felt like I want to hear about all your kids...Anyway I will do better and I'm sorry if I upset anyone who read this on our board.

Marian- Girl you have your hands full! I totally cracked up at the thought of Lilly munching on your toes, Avery yelling for help and the baby screaming. I can just see your hair standing on end with a look of o.k I need like 6 more hands here. I think the scene could totally be made into a comic strip for sure. I hope things are little calmer for you today.

It's why I have the sign on my front door that reads "Welcome to Camp Run-a-Muck!" So totally appropriate in my life.
