Less than 8 weeks and counting

Paige is so cute! We had an ultrasound on Friday afternoon while Sam was with his Grandma and Grandpa in Steveston and the other 4 were cared for by the brave and courageous Denise (A HUGE THANK YOU TO HER FOR HELPING US OUT!!!) We had to have another one done because the last technician couldn't find the stomache or the heart. The lady we saw yesterday is the same lady who saw the twins (and then again with them 3 more times) and who confirmed that there was only one baby when I was barely pregnant with Six. Little did we realize that she saw all the functioning organs the first time and that the worry that I had was probably unwarrented (as in, I have to go to the doctor again before I will say IS unwarrented) anyway.... she's going to be my perfect little princess. I don't know what that means but I really feel that in my heart. I was 32weeks plus 2 days at the time of the u/s and she is measuring at 32 plus 2 days, just like she should be. What a good girl. The little monkey is all backwards and upside down, but there is only one child in there and I am sure that her big brothers made room for her to flip and do her yoga for more time that what her big sister was able to do so I hope there is still time for her to point DOWN and come out without surgery. I also asked okay is she still a she and the tech said she will say in the report and the doctor will tell me. :P is all I say to that.

That's it for now, oh we have a leak in the basement that we need to talk to our landlord about so please just pray for the situation to be easily resolved...

Who Flung Poo by Spoton Wall

I love these little puns the other one I like is Rusty Bedsprings by I.P. Nightly.

BUT

I have a 5 year old who occasionally wets the bed and a chronic bed wetter who I am assured will one day grow out of it (and a new drug card that I can use to get a drug that will help him with it - 100 bucks a month was too much to put out to wait for it to come back) and the joke is no longer funny unless I force myself to laugh at it.

I will tell you now about Who Flung Poo. After reading Tanya's blog, doing my research (only Tanya, Andre (I almost wrote Dark) and Dena (I almost wrote Rhea) will understand what that means) and writing my bottle blog I got up out of my chair. A little late for the babies err twins to be sleeping I opened the door. My nostrils were filled with the oh so not nice smell of poo. But Jacob greeted me at the doorway diaperless and my thoughts attitude went further down. Jack, lying on the bed also diaperless, woke up with wet hair, and I look to my left and with HORROR realize that Jacob's nom de ploom today is Spoton Wall.

Methodically, I ran a bath and asked Hope to watch the boys while I grabbed the Kirkland scubbing wipes, a glove and a garbage bag and begin to eliminate the cause of the smell issuing from the twins' bedroom.

While I scrubbed I prayed that this would never happen again but all too soon I judge myself harshly and feel left with a less than healthy view of myself. I felt like a bad mom, I felt like a bad caretaker because, how many times will I have to do this. It happend with Austin, it happened with Sam and now with the twins. I know other  moms who have boys who don't go through this stuff, who's boys don't play with poo so it must be me.

Well, for now I will chose to be thankful in my heart and say, I had the Kirkland wipes, that I didn't have when Austin or Sam did it, I have the laundry room, that I didn't have when Austin and Sam did it and I have a carpet extractor that I didn't have when Austin and Sam did it. So all in all, I am thankful.......and now Hope and Kevin are preparing dinner...... I need a hug and some time away from this house......*sigh*

Playtex Natural Latch Nursers

I really like the Natural Latch Playtex nursers because the nipple is identical to the boob. They are also easier as far as Kevin is concerned because all we have to wash and sterilize is the nipple and ring. I just got 2 packs of 100 liners (YAY!) for the 4oz bottles from a local momma. I am going go see if I can find the 4oz individual bottles because if I remember well, using a 4oz liner in an 8oz bottle is annoying at best and the starter kit only has one in it as far as I know ;) If you know where to get the pretty 4 oz natural latch bottles, comment here and let me know... hugs to all!
