This week...

I hate that I have no time for blogging. When I do have a spare moment, I really don't want to be on the computer waiting for pictures to upload. So this is what happened this past week in a nutshell:

1st off is the most exciting news!!!! We are in escrow on the house that we've been waiting on since October! Escrow just opened on Wednesday and is set to close on the 15th! That's only 10 more days! We are so excited and hope nothing gets in the way of owning this house that we both love so much!

The next news isn't so good. Jillian went to the doctor today. Her cough is worse and she isn't gaining weight. Turns out she has bronchitis. She has to use Derek's nebulizer a few times a day now until her cough subsides. She goes back to the doctor on Monday and hopefully she will be doing better by then. She had to have a chest x-ray today and she was so brave.. no crying. She's such a trooper and never whines or cries. Poor little girl. I wish I could take her pain away.

James is doing great. He's gained almost a pound since birth. He eats and eats and eats. Hi s head is starting to take it's normal shape (yeah!) and the swelling in his face is going away... finally!

Derek is much better. His bronchitis is gone. He is adjusting to the twins pretty good. He loves to give them kisses and tell me how cute they are.

I'm still SO tired, along with everyone else in the house. I'm so scared that in just a few weeks I will be alone with the kids in my own home... yikes! My mom and dad are such a HUGE help! THANKS mom and dad! And my mother-in-law is a great help too! I couldn't do it without them! And of course, Jason too. I have a great team!

I'm off to bed for hopefully a 3 hour stretch before I'm on night time duty. I'll try to post more pictures, more often... and hopefully some of our new house soon!









The flowers I got from Jason after a really long, hard day at home




See how little Jill's bum is... and check out those skinny little bird legs!

Whoa, that IS a tiny bum. They are adorable. Poor little Jill. I hope that gets taken care of quickly. IT's always so much worse in an infant. I'm glad you have such a good support team. Could you imagine trying to do this AND move without them? I hope all goes well with this house. Your growing family needs it.

Aw Kelly.....Gennyhas been keeping me posted. I am sure hoping little Jillie Bean gets better soon! It is so hard to have a sick baby and not be able to take it away.
VERY exciting news about the house. Soon, everything will be falling into place.

That is a teeny tiny bum. And very skinny bird legs. Hopefully Jillian puts some meat on her soon. Very pretty flowers from Jason. That always makes a hard day a little bit better. (and a massage from Envy) =)

Congrats again about the house too! That is wonderful news. Can't wait to see it.
