Madelynn, Claire and Natalee: 22 Months!

Tuesday, October 23, 2012

Here we are once again, TWO MONTHS from TWO!!! AHH!

Just some quick stats of each of the girls:

Madelynn: 23 lbs 8 oz

Claire: 22 lbs 11 oz

Natalee: 19 lbs around

All size 4 diapers.

All brown hair. 

M and C - blue eyes, Nat - dark brown eyes

Mostly 18 month and 24 month clothes. Some 2T. Pants need to be long, shirts need to be a little smaller.

Size 4 (Natalee), 5 and 6 (M and C) in shoes.

You sleep great. About 8pm to 8am, every single night. Although some nights, Madelynn and Claire, you stay up past 11 o'clock just giggling, talking and laughing with each other.

1 nap from 12:30PM - 3:30PM.

You all love to eat. Your favorites this month is still pizza and every fruit and veggie. There isn't one fruit or veggie you won't eat. I love you girls for it, just like your Momma! You all love pickles and olives too!



{ In order: Claire, Natalee, Madelynn }




You all love to talk. You can say, Momma, Dadda, Baby, No, Yes, Barney, Elmo, Shoes, What is it?, I see?, Thank you, Please, Bye-Bye, Night-Night (ni-ni), Belly button, Bubble, Cup, Ba-ba, Hi, Go..probably more, I just can't remember!

You can point out your eyes, nose, mouth, hair, belly button, hands and feet.

You can say the sounds for a lion, cat, cow, and duck...but refuse to say others for some reason.

You go up and down the stairs all by yourself.

When you do something you're not supposed to, you look at me and say, "no, no, no".

You love to be outside. You love the slide and swings. You go to the tallest slides you can find and those are the ones you each go down.

You love car rides. You love to just go anywhere out of the house. I don't blame any of you, I love to get out too!

You love to color. Claire you are still the best colorer.

You love to read.

You all love to be tucked-in at night.

You love to give kisses!

This month we changed around your rooms to Madelynn and Claire in one room and Natalee and Emily in the other. You are doing much better and sleeping longer because it's not constantly play-time.

You love to play together, but you all still fight occasionally. I constantly have to say, "please be nice to your sisters" 1 million times a day!

Madelynn and Claire, you both had strep throat for the first time this past week, but you did fine. You are all on antibiotics now.

You love Barney and Elmo and love watching TV.

You love the dog and she plays so nice with you.

FUN FACTS ABOUT THIS MONTH:

You all were flower girls in your Aunt Megan's wedding on Saturday, October 20, 2012 (photos coming, I promise!). You did fantastic and danced the night away! Everyone thought you were the cutest girls!

You got to go to the airport with Momma and Daddy on Wednesday night to pick up Pop-Pop in your PJ's and everyone thought you were so cute. You were screaming "Hi Pop-Pop" over and over. You were all spoiled with being with so much family for a few days before Auntie Megan's wedding! You visited with your Great Nan, Aunt Suzie, Aunt Stephanie, Aunt Christine, Uncle Tommy, Great Nana, Aunt Jen, Aunt Terri, Aunt Bonnie, Aunt Beth, Uncle Russ, Pop-Pop, and your two cousins Katelyn and Amanda. Everyone just loves you all to pieces!

We have gone to the pumpkin patch twice this month. 

Has Momma bought your Halloween costumes yet? Big fat, nope. Not yet. Opps. Better get on that. I think you are going to be little witches or bumble bees! We shall see. Momma finally bought your costumes on Sunday and I got a mad deal on them! Off the Clearance Rack at Toys R Us, two for $7 dollars each and one for $5 dollars...all the same size and costume! THREE costumes for less than $20! Oh yes, be jealous!

Your Questions Answered: About the Girls


{ One word describe each of your girls? }

Madelynn - WILD
Claire - SWEET BUT SASSY
Natalee - MIRACLE
Emily - EASY


{ Let's say all four of the girls were boys. What would their names be? }

If the girls had been all boys, the triplets most likely would have been named, Jackson Timothy, Nathan Samuel and Benjamin Robert. If Emily would have been a boy, she would have been Jackson Timothy, since we already had three girls. If the triplets would have been all boys and Emily was a boy, his name would most likely have been Michael. And if we have another girl, most likely Caroline Anne or Abigail {no middle name suggested yet} and of course Jackson Timothy for a boy!

YOUR Questions Answered: Pregnancies/More Children

I figured I needed to break these up since I got quite I few questions! Thanks for all the responded and I hope I don't bore you with the answers!

First, Pregnancy
Second, Motherhood
Third, About The Girls
Fourth, About Tim and I
Fifth, anything else anyone wants to ask..

If there are more questions you have after reading my answers, feel free to keep asking, and I'll  keep posting answers! 

So, here goes:


{ I'm not going to say who each and every person was who asked each question. }




{ How did your pregnancies differ? }

My pregnancy with the triplets versus my pregnancy with Emily, it was honestly, night and day. I was sick with the girls, yes, but never, ever as sick as I was with Emily. I was SOOO SICK with her for the first 14 weeks and at 14w1d, it was like I woke up a different person. With the girls, I was on bed rest so early on, which was so hard. I had terrible pre-eccalmpsia at the end of my pregnancy with the triplets and that was so hard. I swelled up to the size of an elephant. I had a terbutaline pump in my leg from week 27 on, which was just oh so lovely. I had gall stones. I had to monitor my contraction twice a day and send the info to a nurse. I was constantly uncomfortable, but no matter what I would have done whatever it took to keep my babies in for as long as I could. And even though I have days where I think I could have done more, I know in all honesty I couldn't have done anything more. The births were completely different. Traumatic versus super normal and easy. 32w2d versus 39w6d. THREE babies versus ONE! I could go on for hours. Honestly, just read the tab titled, "Our Triplets" and you can read week by week how my pregnancy changed so fast. I look back at those posts, honestly, and I struggle to remember who I was then. I wasn't a mom yet. My babies were in my belly and I thought I knew the love I would have for them , but I couldn't have imagined what my life would be like after they were born.

The biggest differences, for me, were the feelings I had when I became pregnant. With the girls, disbelief that IVF had actually worked (we didn't know how quite how well at that point yet), excitement  thankfulness, love, and just an unbelievable feeling of I AM FINALLY PREGNANT AND GOING TO BE A MOM! I wanted to shout it from the roof tops and tell everyone. I wanted everyone to know. I was so happy. When I got pregnant with Emily, I sat in a different state of disbelief. I had so many emotions over the first few weeks. I kept it all a secret, only to share with my husband. I finally talked about it but it was hard. Hard to accept this was God's plan. Why? How? Right now? I couldn't think. I couldn't breath. I knew people would judge me. Would they think I am a bad mom because I was having another baby so close? People would think we were insane! But after awhile I didn't care what people thought, and now...I couldn't imagine life without our little Ems! God gave us her for a reason. I talked a lot about it all in this post...plus that post pretty much sums up how my pregnancies/births/postpartum were different.


{ How much weight did you gain with each pregnancy? }


With the triplets - 85lbs! Ekkk...I was OVER 200lbs on the day I gave birth! That is SCARY and I will NEVER see that number again on my scale...EVERRRR!


With Emily - I think it was like 35lbs, at the most. Honestly, I don't remember, but it wasn't more than 40lbs.

I was very lucky to loose it all pretty much right away, with doing nothing but running after the girls. The stretchmarks and extra skin, however, well that's a different story! I am constantly learning how to manage my feelings with how different my stomach looks, and although my sweet hubby assures me how it's prefect in so many ways, I hate it. I always had a prefect looking tummy, and now it's far from perfect, but I wouldn't trade  what my tummy looks like for anything because it means I have my girls. It's just a part of me now...and I live with it.


{ Are you still having issues with Endometriosis? }

Luckily, NO! Nothing at all, since getting pregnant with the triplets. And apparently it was NOT interfering with getting pregnant after I had the triplets, considering Emily was conceived so easily! I will say that my first few "times of the month" were very painful and extremely heavy after having Emily. I never had the chance to experience that after the triplets were born because I was breastfeeding and then got pregnant so soon, so maybe that was just my body, after not having a period for almost two years. I hope that was just it and not any endo. I don't think I will have any problems with it in the future, and I hope that's the case!


{ Do you think you will ever try again for a boy? / Do you think about having more children? }

Most likely we will try for another. Who knows. Maybe. Maybe not. We go back and forth. Honestly I can see us living the rest of our lives with our four girls just fine, but I also can never picture my life without another pregnancy and giving birth again. That makes me sad for sure. Tim will say "let's have another", "why not have another", "how could we not have another", "who wouldn't want another beautiful baby", "I'll have ten more babies with you", ect, ect, ect...he drives me nuts! So who knows, maybe we will just see how it goes and if it happens, it happens...and let God ultimately decide. I would love the girls to be like 4 and then maybe try so that they could have the memories of having a sibling, since the triplets never will remember mommy pregnant with Emily, or meeting Emily, or having a new baby sister..that kinda makes my heart sad for them. And would I care if it was another girl...NOT at all. I would be a little scared if it is was a boy because I would really have to start over, and he would have 4 older sisters (God help him), but then again, a little boy makes my heart smile big!!!! I think Tim would love to just have girls, honestly. He loves his little girls to the end of the earth and it doesn't bother him for a second that he doesn't have a boy (another question we get asked all the time!). 

Everyone always just assumes we don't want more children, or would be shocked if we decided to have more, but as Tim and I have talked in length numerous times about it, it is no one's business but our own as to how many children we should have. Every baby is a miracle. Every baby is a blessing. That is my belief. We will grow our family as to as many as God see's fit and each of them will be meant to be. We shall see, It's in God's hands, and we are fine with that. :)

Sparkles, Themes and Characters...OH MY!

This fall has been a little more challenging in terms of shopping for the girls. I can barely find anything I would possibly want them to wear. I go into stores and have to look for hours to find something that fits my criteria, and normally just walk out unhappy.

I would love to be able to buy my girls everything at Gap, Gymboree, The Children's Pace, ect, but the fact that I have to get 3 or 4 of the same thing, is a financial strain. I cannot afford to spend $20 dollars on ONE shirt/dress! It's just not possible and frankly even if I had JUST one child, I don't think I could do that. But, I am forced to shop other places like Target and WalMart and things are covered in crap not-so-appealing things I want my little girls sporting. And everything that I could consider them wearing, is over-priced in my mind for a 2 year old! SO what's a Momma to do?!

Here are my issues:

Everything has too much glitter that makes it look like a porn star would be wearing it. The shoes especially. Why can I not find a PLAIN pair of white sneakers, with a tie for my little girls that are not $45 dollars? I do not want something plastered in 14 different colors, glitter, rainbows, flowers and characters.

Girls SmartfitGirls' Toddler Lilly Track

Toddler Girl's Disney Princess Athletic Shoe - Pink

I do not want something that lights up either! No thank you!
Girls Power Chasers by SmartfitGirls' Toddler Dazzle Light-Up Runner



Girls Disney PrincessGirls' Toddler Princess Snowboot

Toddler Girl's Circo® Jayla Boot - Purple

This has to be the worlds ugliest shoe for a little girl:
Toddler Converse® One Star® Polka Dot Print Low Top - Black

The characters are out of control. I do not want my child wearing all Disney princesses, Dora or Elmo. No thank you!!!! NEVER! EVER! The possibilities if you WANT characters are endless at every store.



Here's the list of characters that Wal-Mart let's you choose from:

Dora
Toy Story
Cars
Disney Princesses
Disney Fairies
Hello Kitty
Sesame Street
Sponge Bob

Toddler Girl's Licensed Dora Canvas - Purple

And, then I know this is just my issue, but it is SO hard to find three of the same thing in a store. Even now, I will mostly let the outfits just be coordinating and not completely the same, but still many stores only have two of a certain size and that's it. Err! I know a store isn't going to cater to people with multiples, but even IN the Carter's store, I couldn't find three of the same size in an outfit I finally found that I liked. 

I just want plain, pretty things. Things that can go with other things without making it a big deal. I don't want my little girls in khaki pants, a purple shirt, a white sweater and then porn star Dora sparkle shoes. No!!!!! I want cute little white shoes with that outfit, and most of their outfits.

Or what about the fact that nothing has a TIE on a shoe anymore. I get that parent's are too lazy and apparently don't want to TIE a shoe, but please, I have four little girls and I WANT a tie, because my girls know how to undo Velcro and it's a little annoying putting on their shoes (x3) for the 5,739 time that day! Give me a darn TIE! Can I get an AMEN?

Not to mention, that most of the shoes are not the proper footwear for little ones just learning to walk and balance. Why are we putting such an importance on style and not on proper footwear to teach our kids to walk correctly and safely?

Thank goodness there are outlets and Carters. I have a few issues with Carters but they mostly have things that are MUCH better than Target and Walmart, and much more affordable when it comes to buying multiple items, plus with coupons. I think the sweet ladies at the outlets know me by heart now.

And don't get me started on Halloween costumes! My little, precious, sweet girls are not going to be walking around EVER in so many of the costumes that are advertised. I still haven't decided what they are being this year, one for the ridiculous prices they all are and second, the ugliness of so many of them. We shall see.

I just think I might have to start a children's line (for multiples) myself soon. Whatcha think?

Life Lately...

This past week has been busy so I thought I would let you all in on it!

I was busy entering, tagging, sorting and packing items for our local Tot Swap. After a few hours of trying to print on my printer, I gave up and went to Office Depot to print all my tags and $2.52 later I was done! I just wish I hadn't put a new $26 ink in it! Err! Anyway, finally last night, I dropped everything off and had a sneak peak around. I must say, I wasn't too impressed with everything this time, even though it seems every time there is SO much more than the last, but some of the stuff can really be nasty. I look at stuff people are bringing in and I swear I wouldn't put it on my dog. I don't get why people think someone wants their nasty, stained and dirty things. There is not one thing I sell that I wouldn't buy myself. People price things WAY over than what it should be too, which irks me! There are so many rules and regulations to what can and cannot be sold, and obviously people can't read or half the stuff in the place wouldn't be there! But with all that said, I am excited to go and dig through to find some treasures for my littles. I am having a sweet friend come along who is pregnant with boy/girl twins, and hopefully we can find some good things she needs for good prices. Oh, and I hope I make a good amount of money on all my stuff selling...let's hope!

I'm a little sad that this is the first year since I was pregnant with the trips that I am not volunteering/selling/shopping at the Mom of Multiples Sale this Saturday! Boo! IT just isn't worth driving all the way to it two days in a row, and most likely I can find the stuff I am looking for at the Tot Swap which is less than two miles away. Still, I hate not participating and giving my time to support it.

Colorfest in Thurmont is this weekend, another reason I am not going to the Mom of Multiples  sale Saturday am. We go to Colorfest very early and are done around lunchtime, so the Mom of Multiples sale just didn't fit this year.

Emily's two bottom teeth have finally popper through and I think she is finally starting to feel a little better, amen! I hate seeing her so unhappy, when she is always such a happy girl!

I keep thinking about things for the girl's 2nd Birthday and since I have been up all night, it hasn't been hard to think about things I want to start making.

We are making progress cleaning the one room left in our house that is a total mess. It's the throw-all room and it is housing everything that should most likely be in a garage. We have plans of making it an adorable playroom for our little ladies when they get a little older, and slowly it's starting to get uncluttered to possibly make that happen.

I keep thinking of something, but I can't share it. Right now all I can think about is the yummy food I will be eating on Saturday morning at Colorfest. Alone. With NO children tagging along. Adults only. Can I get an AMEN?! Shopping, in the fall crisp air while the sun beats down on my face and pumpkin spice latte...picking up cute little country things for my house that I don't need and most likely Tim will not understand why I just HAD to have it... YES PLEASE! 

Oh and the girls have this random happiness of standing on top of things these days. The table, the couch, chairs...all in order to get things they can't and shouldn't have, even at other people's houses. They work together and manage to get the wipe container and then take out the hundreds of wipes and begin cleaning the house...I'm appreciative but they don't realize how expensive wipes are and how quickly we go through them. 




They are obsessed with vacuuming and always love to help Daddy clean...I told you my husband is wonderful... The girls seriously would ride the thing if we let them.

If you Really Knew Me....

First of all, thank you to all that responded with questions to my "What Do YOU Want To Know" post! I am writing all the answers out and plan on publishing them throughout the month! If you want to ask any questions throughout the month, just keep asking them and I will keep posting!

But, in the meantime, I saw this post that Megan did and I thought I would join in.

So, if YOU really knew me, you would know that...

I can probably be out of the house faster with my four kids than someone with just one. I can do it at record speed, I promise you that.

I take a nap almost every.sinlge.day!

I never make our bed unless we have company, there's just no point to me.

I watch WAY too many shows. Survivor, Smash, Revenge, The Amazing Race, The Office, 19 Kids and Counting, Long Island Medium, The Little Couple, Gulianna and Bill, The Bachelor/Bachelorette, Duck Dynasty, 48 Hours, Dateline, 20/20, Real Housewives of Orange County and New York City, Bethany Ever After, Swamp People, Keeping Up With the Kardasians, Breaking Amish, The Shark Tank, Cops...see the list could go on forever!

I have never missed Survivor since it started, back when I was just 14 years old. I even own the first season on DVD.

I'm a sucker for Lifetime, Hallmark and Investigative Discovery. I could literally watch any of those channels ALL day, and to be honest, that was how I made it through bed rest with the girls.

We go through about 200 diapers EACH week and I never can keep up with them.

I hate to talk on the phone and I ignore when my phone is ringing most of the time.

I don't call the doctor for anything unless it's an emergency because I'm totally in fear of being "that annoying lady" or "that mom who can't figure anything out"! Good thing I have very knowledgeable mom, MIL, and aunts with lots of medical info!

That if I could go back and re-do my Master's, I would have probably gotten a teaching degree instead of social work.

I still miss not having a job outside for the home in social work. I think about it often, especially when I am out shopping and I see professional-type clothes. It makes me miss being in a professional setting, a little.

If Tim and I had all the money in the world, we would move to northern Montana, Northern Maine or Alaska and build a huge ranch and live a much simpler life. No distractions. Just down-home faith, family and food. We would move anyone in our family that would want to come! It's our dream!

Speaking of dreams, when the girls go off to college, our first trip, just the two of us will be to Alaska, for a month! We want to tour the whole state, just the two of us.

I could eat Chinese food everyday.

I very rarely drink soda, or anything but water. BUT, I LOVE the fountain sodas from Costco. For some reason, they taste so good! And I do love sweet tea.

I find it ridiculous that people spend so much money on Starbucks. I think it's silly, BUT I love the pumpkin spice latte, BUT I would never actually go in and buy one myself. I could totally find something way more important to do with the amount of money a Starbucks coffee is (like a dozen chocolate covered Krispie Kreme doughnuts!!)!

I think Twitter is so dumb stupid unnecessary.

I get all giddy when I win giveaways! Makes my heart smile for days!

Almost every single girl I know is pregnant right now!

We are planning our first trip away from the girls this winter to go skiing (just about 2.5 hours away). We haven't been skiing since 2009 since I have been pregnant for the past two winters. I am super excited. And after that, we are planning on going back to Aruba for our 5th Anniversary...without the girls!

I am super close with my dad, and he just may be the smartest/caring/loving/selfless person on the planet to me. I go to him for everything and he is always able to calm me down, re-organize my thoughts, help me see clearer, and has the best advice. I wish others had dads as awesome as him.

I could spend all day in JoAnn Fabric. I wish I knew how to sew and do more crafty things and then--- sell them to make extra money! Oh, I wish!!!!!

I would love to sell Scentsy or 31, BUT I couldn't stand the pressure of having to "be the best" at it. I am way to much of an over achiever and would want to run it my way, so I deny any offer to sell under anyone...until I could get passed this issue of mine.

I secretly smile when people (that I know and don't) have a second baby, and then all of the sudden they only blog once a week...welcome to my world (only half way), but it makes me feel good that I am not the only one who much rather spend time with my kids than on the computer.

I know you shouldn't hate, but there are a few people I honestly just hate.

I cannot stand having a dog and two cats now. They were my world before kids and now...I can't wait to be done as an animal owner. Although I wouldn't know what to do without a dog for the reason of three toddlers practicing their throwing arms with my homemade dinners. Unless we build that ranch, this will the last dog and cats we own for a long time.

Sometimes when people say "your four kids" I look around and wonder who they are talking about...OH YEAH, IT'S ME! I HAVE FOUR KIDS???? (this just happened the other night!!)

I hate milk. I could NEVER drink it straight! Nothing is more nasty to me.

My husband does most of our household cleaning. I promise you that is the truth. He vacuums, mops, steam cleans the carpet areas, even cleans the toilets sometimes. I am SO lucky to have such a wonderful man. His mom taught him well and I am thankful. We have no that's your chore and this is mine in our household, we are equals when it comes to everything.

Speaking of my husband, he does a lot of the cooking too. He loves to bake elaborate cheesecakes and help me chop or make anything. We love to cook together and it's one of our favorite things to do to spend time with one another.

I have worn fake nails that I did myself for 10 years and I stopped about 4 months ago and have been growing out my own nails and painting them. It is such a change, and still not as nice looking as fake ones, but I feel so much better with having my real nails show!

I have been pulling out gray hairs for the past few months. Umm, I am ONLY 26 years old! What the hell!?!?!?!

I will NEVER have long hair again, as long as I live.

I really wish I knew some bloggers in REAL LIFE!
I have to straighten my hair everyday or almost everyday, but it only takes less than five minutes. Why waste valuable time on hair? Silly! Hence the reason, I will never have long hair again.

Sometimes people really annoy me and I so wish I could say what I want to. But, instead, I pray about it.

I could eat pumpkin cake all year long, but pumpkin pie, no thanks.

I LOVE tomato soup and bologna sandwiches. I know totally weird!

Nothing makes my heart smile more than the four little girls that made me a Momma!


...I could do this all day, but I will stop here. Remember if you want to know something, leave me a comment! :)


Wordless Wednesday: Keepin' It Real!

See, everyone has days where their mind just DOES NOT WORK...and this was mine when it wasn't working!!

Not to self: After 21 months, you would like I would remember to put the bottle liner IN the bottle before I pour scoops of formula in it!



Please tell me I am not the only one who has done this?!?!

Weekend Re-Cap and LMC Picnic

We had a wonderful weekend! It always goes so fast! 

On Saturday, I wanted to go out with my mom for the evening, so Tim took care of the girls while I enjoyed a nice time out to the outlets and dinner with my Mom. Tim got the girls up from nap, played with them, fed them dinner, gave them all baths and put them to bed before I got home! I was impressed. He cleaned up the kitchen and did all my nightly chores. I must say, I was super excited when I walked in. Not many men can take care of four little girls with no help! I think he is just wonderful and I am so thankful for such a caring and loving father for my girls. 

On Sunday, I took the triplets to my dad's company picnic. He works for Lockheed Martin in Bethesda, which is their headquarters. Every year since I was two years old we have gone to the picnic and so it's always a day that I really look forward to! Last year it was at the National Zoo (Oh my they were so little!!), and it was the first year it was some place different than Smokey Glen Farm, where it has been for decades. The zoo was horrible. It was a Friday night in DC, with LOTS of traffic and a night at the zoo was just dumb planning, since almost all the exhibits were closed. The line for food was super long and it was all and all a stupid idea. I know a lot of my dad's co-workers read my blog and I just want to say that I was one happy girl to have it back at Smokey Glen Farm..where it should STAY!

The girls had a BLAST! They got to see the clowns, jump on boon bounces, get balloon animals, watch big bubbles, dance and clap to music, play and swing at the park, eat lots of yummy food, and ride the ponies. My heart may have skipped some beats when I saw my girls ridding the ponies all by themselves!!! I remember riding the ponies as a young child and I have countless photos of myself at the picnic doing so, so when I got to see my girls up there...oh boy, it was almost too much to handle. I am so thankful to be able to have them do the same! I just couldn't get enough of it!




Claire ate so much food, I thought she was going to explode! She ate half my dad's hamburger, two ice cream sandwiches, some of a pretzel, 3 pieces of corn on the cob, some pie, chicken, and probably some other stuff! Anything my dad had, Claire and Natalee wanted, and they would both follow him, signing "more". Madelynn ate so much corn on the cob! She would eat all of hers and then go after her sisters! It was so funny!


They LOVED all the music and didn't stop dancing!!!! I love that they have such wild personalities and are not shy at all!


Swinging and playing at the park!


They loved watching the balloons be made into elephants and giraffes!


And jumping on the moon bounce with all the other little kids!


Meeting "Bubbles" the clown was fun too and she gave out stickers!


And all the bubbles...They loved chasing after the BIG bubbles and constantly kept saying, "bubbles" over and over! They are getting so big!!!










They also loved seeing and sitting in the fire truck! They all wanted a turn to drive!






LOVE this photo!!!







Such a fun fall weekend!!

SO....What do YOU Want to Know!?!

That's right folks...ask away! Anything you want to know?

This month I will be answering questions and letting you get to know ME a little better. I have been wanting to do this for some time now and so it's long overdue that you know some more about the "Mrs." in the title of this blog!

Do you have questions about raising multiples? Advice about being pregnant with multiples? Why we do what we do, or more importantly HOW we do what we do? Or about me? Who am I? What would you like to know?

You can email me privately or leave a comment!

So, go ahead...what do YOU want to know??
