Rainy Day

Hello all!

Wedding: Well, I don't really want to talk about it-that's how well it's going. Frustration galore.

I have exciting news though. Molly had her twin boys Wed. May 7th at 5 a.m. Parker Jay was 5 lbs 8 oz and Braden Paul was 5 lbs 2 oz. Molly had a C-section and is doing really well. She's pretty sore but is doing well with the pain pills. Braden is doing amazingly well. His weight has dropped down to 4 lbs 14 oz but he is eating well and they think they will be able to take him home tomorrow. Parker is not doing as well as his brother but he is doing ok as far as premies go. He was the heavier one but he was having a hard time breathing and thus not eating so he's now on a feeding tube and has an IV of antibiotics to try to eliminate the fluid in his lungs. They think he will be able to go home in a week or so. My first reaction when I saw the boys was that Parker looks like an Abrams and Braden looks like a Youngquist. They are so tiny and probably the smallest babies I have ever seen considering my sisters kids were 8 lbs 11 oz, 10 lbs, 9 lbs 4 oz, and 7 lbs 14 oz. Tiny little boys! I'm bummed though because I haven't been able to hold them yet.

Other exciting news: I finished my picture a day for a year! Whew! It's actually pretty fun to look at because Kenan was 1 month old when I started and a year old when I finished.

House: Still no takers. Bummer!

Have a great day all!

Holy Hannah!

Wedding Drama

Well, so it begins. I am so grateful for the support I have received thus far with my announcement of the Hawaii wedding. It has been a VERY difficult thing for me to plan and think about-why you ask? Well, because of my desire to please everyone, as well as myself. I have this picture in my mind of this Hawaii wedding and it's what I want and people have been telling us to go with what we want and so that's what I'm trying to do. I already have guilt about it though. Why? Because it's a immediate family only thing and it's going to be difficult for our immediate families to be there. Why couldn't my dream be in a more financially realistic place like Craggins or at Lake Harriet-I don't know. It's a dream...who knows. I also want to clarify that it's Troy's desire to have a small ceremony and make it special just for us so the HI wedding sounds good to him too. Oh my. I actually thought this destination wedding would be easier then the big traditional wedding. Ha ha! I feel as though feelings are getting hurt and I don't want to do that! Oh my...so that's how I'm feeling right now.

Funny story...I had a patient that told me a funny story about her grandson. He was around 2 or 3 and had a nuk in his mouth when she was driving him home from daycare. Well, she almost got in a car accident and she said "SON OF A..." and her grandson, from his car seat in the back, takes out his nuk and says, "BITCH!" and puts his nuk right back in. Ha ha ha!

So I had to tell her the story of when I was changing Jonah's NASTY diaper (a grandma diaper) and I swear I must have used 20 wipes it was so gross and I got him all cleaned up and dressed and he said to me, "I feel like a million bucks!" It was the cutest thing ever and made the whole experience much better!

Have a great day everyone!

Beautiful Day

Greetings everyone! I'm not sure how often people actually read this blog, but I think it's kinda fun to write it so I'll keep it up for the time being.

Wedding update. Well, everyone's probably dying to know how my wedding research is coming along...Anna and I did go to the wedding last weekend in the American legion and I realized that style was not for me. However, I did learn that it is so important to have a wedding that is meaningful to us and "is just us" that it sent me on a mission to figure out what is "just us". Well, Troy and I have been talking and every time we talk about what we really want the beach always comes up. We spent all day Friday researching, discussing, and talking about all the different wedding scenarios we could have and the one that made us both excited every time we brought it up was the small beach wedding idea. So, for right now the plan is to get married on the beach in Hawaii at sunset and go on our honeymoon from there whether it be on a cruise around the islands or at a resort. We have to talk to a travel agent and figure out all the details. We are both very excited and hope everyone is excited for us too.:) Yes, we know it means that most likely only our immediate families would be able to come-and maybe even only a few members of our immediate family, but it is what would be "just us" so we're going for it. Let the planning begin! Whoa!

House update- Showings but no offers. :(

Troy is out raking my yard so I better go help him. What a guy!
