The weirdest thing happened to me tonight. I haven't blogged in AGES as most people know. Awhile back, I started a new blog because I couldn't remember where my old blog was, or the URL, password, etc....So tonight, while messing around on my computer, I decided to check out my mom's blog. In that process, I thought, "Hey...I think I'll post something on my 'new' blog" that I hadn't posted on

My sweet girl specifically asked me to post this picture on my blog tonight. Seriously, she did. I need to do a serious update, but for now, I am granting my daughter's wishes and posting this picture she did of myself, Hayley and her in our house. So, enjoy my sweet girl's picture....

Kathryn and Emma...what an adventerous life you have already led up to this point. You are a year old today. You have defied more odds and proven more people wrong than is even believable. I will never forget the day I found out I was pregnant with you. At that time, I thought there was just one of you. The absolute shock I felt when I found out there was two of you is indescribable. Oddly

Well, here I sit at 11:30 p.m. on the verge of posting a beautiful tribute to my darling daughters who turn one in 1/2 hour and I get the message of death on my computer: "Internet Explorer has encountered an error and has to close."

Wow, wow and wow. I don't even know where to start. It has been an amazing, crazy, eventful and wonderful two or three weeks.Christmas vacation started right off the bat with an extra "guest" in my home. Someone you all know as Anakin, formally Anthony; my "step-son". How that came to be is quite a long story, however, that sweet boy whom we haven't seen in 7 months reunited with us for the

So, Livi is following in the footsteps of her big sister and foraying into the world of children's books written by children. I literally have a small library of books that Hayley has written, and the other day, Livi informed me she had written a book. She just drew the pictures and told me the story as she showed it to me and she has changed it each time she's told it; but I do know for sure

Thank you all so much for your kind words of encouragement when I was having my little "melt down". Not to minimize it....I was in a bad place at that time. Your comments made me feel not so alone.Funny thing though....not too long after I wrote that post, somehow I just felt.....better. Not sure exactly what happened, but I quit worrying about things so much. A lot of the issues I was having at

My mom asked me the other day when I was going to do a new post. My response was that I have nothing that I want to write about. Life has taken a few unexpected and unpleasant turns for me and my girls lately and pardon me if I don't feel like depressing my few readers. I had contemplated coming on here and complaining; giving another "poor me" saga. But you don't need to hear it, and I don't

The day started out like any other ordinary day in the life of Kristen....oh oops...my bad.....no it didn't. It started out like a train wreck when I was jolted out of bed at the early hour of 7:30 by Care Bear who sauntered into my room, turned on the TV and settled into watch Nick Jr. (Not that I expect my 6 year old --although she is usually more organized than I am-- to voluntarily get

You can't see it right now but I am opening my mouth really wide in an effort to send out cyber signals so you can tell me if I have any teeth left. I don't think I do because I have gritted them down to the gums in the past few days or so. And I think I've worked jaw muscles I didn't even know I had from clenching it so much.In a word (or three....) I am stressed. I told my mom today that a

Probably not since my blog is collecting dust and I could swear I just saw a spider web in the corner of it due to total abandonment. Huh. How could this have possibly happened?

Except for the fact that I am managing to keep myself pretty busy right now. I start school on Monday.

Have you ever woken up one day and had an overwhelming sense of clarity regarding a situation you were in? Well I have. And it happened to me 2 months and 6 days ago. I woke up that morning and knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I could no longer be in the situation I was in any longer and I had to do something about it. There was no question, no hesitation. Just a matter of fact. It had to be

My baby girls (of the twin variety) went to sleep at 7:00 at night. They are morning babies. Awake at the crack of dawn; happy as can be; crabby by afternoon and asleep by early evening. I went to bed at 9:30, thinking to myself that I would probably be awoken within the hour. Instead, I was awoken at 1:30 a.m. by my baby girl (of the *almost* four year old variety) to change her soaking wet

So, I thought once I was back at work it'd be much easier to keep up on this thing. But it turns out that since I'm back only part time now, and my hours coincide with covering everyone's lunches, I don't have as much "play time" as I used to when I was here 8 hours a day. Which also means I don't have as much time to go and visit you all; cuz it could literally take my entire four hour shift to

Eight weeks. That's how long it's been since I went to the hospital to get a beta methazone shot to strengthen my babies lungs and didn't leave the hospital for two weeks--the mother of two precious little twins--2 lbs 15 oz and 3 lbs 5 oz. The past six weeks have been quite the roller coaster ride. Most of the time I feel like I'm living in an alternate universe. A universe that has included

This is what the doc at the Urgent Care said yesterday afternoon - thanks for your prayers.

Just a few words from Grandma Dawn. Kristen was able to come home from the hospital on Friday afternoon. I stopped and rented the industrial sized pump that she has to use at home. She is very successfully storing up milk for the little darlings. She is very busy with Care Bear, Feisty, and Anakin. Her MIL has stayed much longer than we expected, for which we are extremely grateful. They spend a

This is Grandma Dawn doing a little update for Kristen. She has had a rough afternoon, after a very uneventful surgery, which produced two beautiful, tiny, little girls. Please pray for all of them. The girls are great - Emma's on oxygen - she weighs 2 lbs. 15.5 ounces and is 15 inches long. She's FEISTY!! But she's tiny and needs some extra help.Kate is 3 lbs. 5 ounces and is 15 3/4 inches long.

I can't sleep. It's 6 a.m. and despite being given two Ambien last night by the nurse and not turning off the lights until midnight, I am wide awake. I can't figure out why. Hmmmm. Maybe it's because in 18 hours I am going to be delivering twins?! I don't know. Maybe that could have something to do with it.I can't even pin point any particular emotion I am having right now because I think there's

I had my ultra sound today. It took over two hours. In the end, I found out that the bigger baby is 3 lbs 15 oz and the little baby is 2 lbs. 15 oz. (Care Bear says that the "big" baby is hers since she's bigger, therefore according to her, big baby is Kate and the littler baby is Feisty's...or Emma).Kate is actually right on target. Totally normal size for her gestation. Emma is pretty little,

I received word just a little while ago that the babies are going to be delivered on Sunday; I'll be exactly 33 weeks.I have an ultra sound tomorrow to find out how much they weigh and whether or not I will be able to deliver the "regular" way or if I will have to have a C-section. It all depends on how much they weigh.I have had the Beta-Methazone shots already to help strengthen the babies'

I didn't make it here to ring in the New Year and wish everybody a happy one. Not that I wasn't up to ring it in. Far beyond, as a matter of fact. My MIL was here in my room until almost 4 a.m. However, I am not exactly sure what I was doing at the exact moment Father Time handed the reins over to baby New Year. I think I was knitting a hat or something like that.Speaking of, I have completed

My new blogging buddy, Andrea, from Lifesong has created a new Christmas meme; but we aren't allowed to call it a meme. She has made the executive decision to heretofore refer to it as a "hoopla". I like it. The word "meme" has never made much sense to me. She has tagged me for the meme hoopla so I'm going to attempt to do this today. I'll post her instructions for the hoopla here and if I tag

First, I want to thank everyone for the nice birthday wishes this weekend! Nothing spectacular occurred over the weekend for me in regards to birthday celebration; as I mentioned before, most of the celebrating had already happened. Care Bear was a little dismayed over the lack of excitement for my big day exclaiming "What is a birthday without a party or a cake?!" Hard to explain to an

It is the day before my birthday and I am looking out my window at work to a fresh blanket of snow covering the lawn, slushy streets and snow brushed trees. It's a beautiful, Christmas-ey scene. When I was a young girl, it was always my dream to have snow on my birthday. Most of the time it didn't happen. I have always loved snow; always loved winter; always loved the "cozy" feeling it creates. I

I was visiting Steph over at "Adventures in Babywearing" today, and she had posted a picture of herself morphing into Kelly Clarkson. I thought it looked like fun, so I decided to see who I would morph into. There were several options I could choose from, but if you were told you looked like a super-model, wouldn't you pick that one, too? So, here is me morphing into Christie Brinkley:Pretty cool

I could not be happier to see this Friday arrive. For one, it's been the week from H*E* double hockey sticks here at work. It's the week after Thanksgiving and the dreaded week before deadline here and every single person in the world who has waited until the last minute to apply here all of a sudden has decided that they need to know what is going on with their applications NOW.

My Babies Are PO'd At Me!!Thanksgiving was nice. We, as usual had two dinners. One around mid-day at my parent's house with all of my side of the family, then one hosted at my house with Mike's side of the family. MIL handled pretty much everything; I made the green-bean casserole (GO ME!!) but MIL did everything else. I think we had more food for the eight of us then there was for 19 at my

I'm sitting here at work, looking at the beautiful, wintery scene outside my window. Just in time for the first "winter" holiday; just in time for putting up Christmas decorations; and just in time to host our families 3rd annual "Polar Express" viewing night, we have snow. It could not be more perfect, in my opinion. The only thing that would make it more perfect right now, for me, would to be

Have you ever read the "Anne of Green Gables" series? If so, you will remember that Anne was a very passionate and emotional young lady. Where a "typical" person might say, "Wow, I'm a little sad today", Anne would moan, "I am in the depths of despair!" I am most definitely in the depths of despair today. Every year on January 1, I wonder to myself what the year ahead is going to bring me.

I believe that there is an unwritten rule out there that very few people are aware of that has become very apparent to me through this latest pregnancy. That rule is that eventually, if you get pregnant enough times and you have been lucky enough in the past to have fairly uneventful, easy pregnancies (and deliveries) that subsequent pregnancies will not follow that same protocol.

I began inquiring about short-term disability today through my Human Resources Department. I wasn't completely sure I was really going to pursue this avenue until today; especially after spending the entire weekend practically parked in my recliner unable to do hardly anything for myself or for my family.

Regardless of the fact that my test results came back showing no chromosomal abnormalities in either of the twins, the doctors were absolutely convinced that this cycstic thing (I can never remember its official name) had to mean that there was something wrong with the babies. So today I did what they told me to do and went back for another ultra sound; this time to make sure there were no other

Thank you so much for all of the wonderful baby name suggestions! I have had so much fun reading all of them and have come up (thus far) with a very comprehensive list of potential names. Keep 'em comin! I'm keeping the baby name game button on my sidebar that links directly to that post, so if you think of anymore, feel free to add! (Until such time as I either go into labor, or I choose names).

The weekend has passed and I have had several days now to let it sink in that I can begin to actually enjoy my pregnancy and look forward to (or fear) the arrival of the two wiggly girls that are currently calling my uterus home. I have less than 6 (six) months to come up with two (not one) names. I had one in mind, which I no longer will be using so the pressure is on. Here is where you come in

I sat all day at my desk waiting for the call to come in, but no call came. I harassed the doctor's office twice hoping to hear that results had come in. No results. I resigned myself to the fact that I would probably be waiting until tomorrow....maybe longer....until I found out the fate of my babies. I had waited this long, after all.

True Statement: When it rains.....it pours (in my case a torrential downpour).A Myth (or so I am beginning to believe): God never gives you more than you can handle.My mom posted a little update post for me a couple of days ago. Feisty was plagued, yet again, with a UTI, that could be a kidney infection (waiting on test results) that came on really quickly and really severely. She was admitted to

Life has been throwing terrific curves lately. As you know, Kristen has an appointment tomorrow afternoon (9/11) to determine if one or both of the babies has a chromosomal abnormality. On top of all this trauma, little Feisty ended up in the hospital tonight. She had terrible abdominal pain mid afternoon, went to emergency, and they admitted her for the night. The white count is high in her

When we last left off, it was Care Bear's b-day. That was last Friday. It's already Thursday(?!) and I'm just getting to talking about the weekend. And what an insane weekend it was. We packed as much into one weekend as we should have all summer. Good grief. This mama is still recovering.Friday evening after work was the obligatory Chuck E. Cheese party for Care Bear. I really wish one of these

My dearest Care Bear,This has been quite a week for you, sweet girl. Between starting SCHOOL, and turning five....wow. Two big milestones in one week. Too much for this mama's heart to handle.Care Bear, you will never be able to know how much I love you and how incredibly proud you make me every single day of your life. The day you were born, my life was forever changed, and changed for the

A picture diary of my Care Bear's first day of Kindergarten. The pictures speak pretty well for themselves; as does the expression on Feisty's face in most of the pictures. Poor baby....And that about says it all. Care Bear did great. Dad was shooting the pics. Mom and Feisty? Felt the pain a little more than the rest. She had a fabulous day at Kindergarten and was disappointed that she didn't

I am continuously amazed at the outpouring of love, support and prayers by you wonderful people. Although, I'm not sure why I am surprised....I've seen how everyone has given their support and prayers to others out there. This is a great community of people to be a part of and I am so grateful for you.As my mom said, they decided (or rather I decided) not to do the CVS yesterday. Dr. Hobbins

This is Mom/Grandma Dawn updating you this morning.Mike and Kristen didn’t get out of the doctor’s office until 5:00 (3 hours). She was on the ultrasound machine for a long time, as they tried to determine if it was safe to do the test on the babies. They determined they couldn’t yet do it safely. In the meantime, they did assure them that the babies were developing, both kicking, and the mass

In about two hours I will be heading out to my appointment where I will find out the fate of my babies. It's been the longest week and a half I think I have ever lived through. I have been so sick through the last three months that I don't know how I am going to "stomach" seeing a needle enter my abdomen. I might ask them if they can put me out. When I was little I begged my mom to ask our

I swear I just felt a kid kick the side of my gut. I could swear, but isn't it a little too early?! I mean, there are two in there after all; they are fighting for space. I suppose it could be possible that a tiny little leg cramped from lack of space could have karate chopped my side, isn't it?! It didn't feel like any sort of digestion or otherwise. I think it was a kick. That settles it; my

Imagine my complete and total surprise when I came into work today, opened my blog and discovered almost 50 comments from my post. I have no words or way to express my thanks for the outpouring of prayers, support and love from everyone who came to offer prayers and good thoughts for me and my family right now. Between all of you and the myriad of people here at home, I feel truly covered. So

I debated telling people about my pregnancy. I waited a long time until I thought it was a "safe" time to tell. You know....past the "first tri-mester" mark when you can be pretty sure you're not going to mis-carry. Miscarry....holding your breath for that first three months hoping against hope that all goes well until you are "in the clear". I thought I was in the clear. Slowly I began to tell

So, you found me. That's great. Sorry if I've confused anyone by the various moves the last couple of months. I had decided to try wordpress for awhile because, well....I get blog bored easily. I needed a change and decided to give it a try. While I liked some things about wordpress, there were things that I didn't like as well. Between that and some yucky not fun stuff that occurred a few weeks

Little did I know the adventure I was in for when my cousin Nick so aptly told me back in March when I visited his family for Charley girl’s birthday that if I did not get to reading the Harry Potter series and soon that I would not know what was going on in the world come July. Between him, my 30 other cousins who have all read them and my step-son who was beginning to read them, I decided to

Well, I’m feeling a little lonely, a little sad, a little isolated, a little abandoned…..Mike is a couple hundred miles away at work….My Dad is on a camping trip for the week…..My Mom (accompanied by my aunt, grandma and grandpa all who live within a couple of miles of me) is on her trip full of reunions to Minnesota (among those “reunions”, she is going to meet Diane….who I introduced her to….

The good news? Hubby got a job.The bad news? I’m still full time and am now dealing with the hassle and expense of daycare for the kidlings. The job came rather quickly and unexpectedly after several months of nothing so all of a sudden I was in a mad rush to locate someone….anyone (within reason of course) who would watch my kids without breaking the bank. Forget a formal daycare setting.

This was a really nice 4th of July this year. The past couple of years we have met my in-laws at the local park and spent the entire day there which I decided just was not.going.to.happen. this year. Too long and too tiring and too hot. So, this year, we didn’t really have a plan. Which I liked.The morning we just hung out at home. I cleaned some, the kids watched some of the “Foster’s Home for

So, the big move is almost complete….at least for the people in my area. There are other people in the office who are just starting and I’m happy to not be one of them. I’m happy to be settled in my new area looking out my window at the view. Of course, at this particular moment, my view is being obstructed by a large truck who is cutting down portions of the trees that were providing shade

Twenty-nine years ago next month, my family moved into a nice, little neighborhood that was just being developed. All of the houses were brand new and ours was the first one on the block to be finished.

Our yard was in desperate need of weeding, mowing, sweeping, etc....As I mentioned in my meme on Friday, one way I am wierd is that I have never mowed a lawn.

Do you have any idea how long it has been since I have done a meme? I don't even know if I remember how to do a meme. I have been tagged for a few in the past few months, but kept forgetting to do them. But for this one, I've been tagged twice.

Almost a year ago, I was debating whether or not I should cut my hair. I asked for opinions, and they were split about down the middle. In the long run, I ended up keeping my hair long. And then shortly after Christmas, I discussed the fact that my mom had gotten me a gift card for Christmas to get my hair cut. At which time I still refused to do much to it other than get bangs. Big mistake. The
