Mommy Medical Update:
I finally got completely fed up with my port, and am having it removed on Thursday, 2/28.  This is a fairly "simple" procedure--which always concerns me a little bit.  They just do a local anesthetic, and remove it in the doctor's office.  Please pray that it goes smoothly.  I'm also seeing the dentist the next 3 weeks in a row (for fillings and then a cleaning), so please pray that all those visits go without incident too.  I'm trying to get down to just one IV appointment per week because it's just so time consuming--and I've found that if I drink more and eat less I can get enough water in.  Then, of course, I am eating less--but, you win some, you lose some. :)  Hee hee.

 

Also, please pray for Kinley.  She is on her SECOND round of antibiotics, and can't seem to kick this sinus infection.  I'm calling the doctor again on Monday if she's still not improving, but this is getting ridiculous.  The poor little thing has been sick since the end of Jan.

 

C is getting really good at using his hands, and K is crawling fast.  They are both full of smiles, and are quick to sing along with you on most songs.  I think their favorite song right now is "BINGO".  We are taking lots of pictures and trying to film as much as we can because this time is going by so quickly--and I feel like I'm walking around in a haze most days.  I'm so tired. 
But the kids are so full of joy--it's absolutely infectious, and they just started babbling too!! "Mamamamamamama" and "bababababa" are the words of choice so far.  No "dadadada", but I'm sure that's on the horizon, and we've been practicing.

Funny Aside: When are twins giggling at each other from across the room NOT adorable? 4:09 am. 

 

 

reflecting...and a prayer request.

It's so weird that it's 2013.  And that I'm still throwing up.  And that I'm still alive.  And that I've got two beautiful, healthy babies whom I adore.  And that God provides enough strength to care for these two each day (and night).

I am so blessed.

by giggles and joy.

by adoring eyes and tender snuggles.

by silly babbling and smiling faces.

by tears that run dry in my arms, simply by my love and God's love that flows through me to them.

to have an amazing husband who cares for the babies when I can't...and rarely complains about it. 

to have a loving man who still takes me on adventures and only gets frustrated with me when my puke baggie explodes all over his favorite pants as he's cleaning out the car.  (sorry honey.)

to have a warm home to play, laugh, and love in.

to have a spirit of perseverance that can only come from God--a dependence on the Holy Spirit that is such a gift--and joy that abounds only because Christ provides it daily.

I am so blessed.



And my prayer request:
My teeth are getting ruined.  And there is nothing more that the dentist can do.  And there is nothing more that I can do--unless I stop throwing up.  So, I need you all to pray for them.  That they can be restored.  Miraculously.

thanks.  and amen.
