Twin Update
The babies are right on track - Maggie measured 2 lb 10 oz and William measured 2 lb 9 oz - that's almost as much baby as Kirby WHEN SHE WAS BORN! So scary that I have at least 8 more weeks to grow! They both look great and are even more precious than the last time I saw them. Next sono is in 3 weeks!

3 on Thursday
1. This was the conversation at the breakfast table Wednesday morning...
Maria: Kirby, Usted dice cuchara. (as she shows kirby the spoon)
Kirby: Cuchara!
Maria: Usted dice tenedor. (as she shows kirby the fork)
Kirby: Tenedor!
Maria: Usted dice cuchillo. (as she shows kirby the knife)
Kirby: cuchillo!
Kirby: Maria, you say knife. (as she shows maria the knife)
2. I am sad to report that Molly will be going to live with a new family. I hate it, but I know she will be better off. Poor Molls doesn't get the attention she deserves now, and that will only get worse when our family increases by 2! We will miss you, Molls :(
3. We went to a BBQ tonight at St. Luke's, where Kirby will go to school next year. She and Hadley had a blast in the petting zoo. The only problem was that she kept petting the WRONG end of the animals. Thank goodness for hand sanitizer!! Elliot was all smiles as always!!

Anniversary weekend
Yesterday was our 6 year anniversary! Where has the time gone? It's been a wonderful 6 years, and I look forward to the next 60!
While we worked on William's bedding yesterday, Kirby played in the "clouds"

While Jim kayaked the Colorado River with the dudes, Kirby and I headed to Beaumont, since I unfortunately no longer have the steam for an entire weekend alone with Kirby. We had a great weekend - I was able to relax, and Kirby was doted on as always!
When we pulled up to my parent's house, these were waiting for Kirby and me. Sweet Jim sent them to us! Aren't they gorgeous?
We (and when I say we, I mean Annie and Denise) now know why custom bedding can cost a thousand dollars. They spent Saturday measuring and cutting and sewing and ripping and resewing Maggie Claire's bedding. I, of course, supervised :) I think they did a fantastic job, and I couldn't be happier with the finished product! William's is next and will have turquoise instead of green, but I think they both need a little break before tackling his!! Thank you so much, Annie & Denise!!

William and Maggie's photo shoot
precious profiles, if I do say so myself!!!!
William (baby A)
Maggie (baby B)
Both kiddos are growing great - each weigh 1 lb 10 oz - they're right on track! Knowing that makes comments like, "what are you, about 36 weeks along?" and "wow, you got really big!" all worthwhile!!

Another 10 on Tuesday
Yes, I know the last post was 10 on Tues, too...forgive the lack of creativity!!
1. Received this email from Julie last night...
Subject: Devoted parents take girls to meet Fancy Nancy...
...and this is the response they get.
2. "Go for a ride?" Kirby and all of her animals go for lots of rides around the house in the doll bed. This and "Play kitchen?" are all we do these days!! It's so fun to see her pretend!!!
3. Only 6 months prego and I've already gotten him beat.
4. This little girl just adores her daddy - almost as much as he adores her
5. Easter bubbles were a big hit
6. Even sick, Kirby was a great egg finder!
7. Peek-a-boo!
8. Did someone say Easter party?
9. The poor chicks and ducks at church will never be the same after Kirby "loved" on them. She chased them around saying, "Ohhh, come here, come here, come here." She even picked them up a couple of times!
10. Kirby sings the ABC song all the time. She's pretty good at it, too! This is definitely not her best rendition, but it was the only one I could get without her stopping in the middle to come see the screen on the camera!!

10 on Tuesday
1. twin update - I am 5 1/2 months pregnant and had a sonogram today - the babies look great, and Dr. Adam, the perinatologist, said that she didn't see anything wrong with Maggie Claire's heart and that the echocardiogram that I will have on Friday is more to satisfy her obsessive compulsiveness than anything else. I am so blessed to have such wonderful doctors taking care of these kiddos and me!!! Thank you all so much for your prayers for our babies - we appreciate them more than you know and hope that you keep them coming!!
2. St. Luke's called today, and Kirby got into the Thursday-Friday class!! Yay! We're movin' on up - from the waiting list "second group of 10" to "IN!!!!"
3. We were absolutely thrilled to find that Kirby is content watching dvds in the car without sound allowing us to drive all the way home from Beaumont with the radio on!
4. Trying to be a responsible mom, I turned the Dora dvd off in the car while Kirby and I ran errands the other day. We were talking away and everything was fine until Britney Spears came on the radio - by the end of the song Kirby was singing along with Brit...womanizer, womanizer. I promptly turned Dora back on.
5. Kirby wanted to see my tummy tonight, so I pulled my shirt up to show her. She immediately put her hands on her cheeks and said, "Oh my goodness!" If she weren't so stinkin' cute I might have had my feelings hurt!! Between Kirby's shock and Jim acting like he's being catapulted off the couch when I sit next to him, I'm going to develop a complex.
6. Jump is still swimming strong!!
7. Jim and Kirby feed Jump every day, and then take turns smelling the fish food. Kirby dry heaves, they laugh until they cry, Kirby says, "more" and then they do it all over again. Is it child abuse if Kirby thinks it's funny, too?
8. Kirby's been practicing for the Easter Bunny - we got her some plastic eggs and a little basket and have been "hiding" the eggs in different rooms around the house - she loves it and has gotten really good at finding them. I can't wait to decorate the real ones for the E.B. to hide!
9. I think Kirby is going to be the best big sister - she brought me on of her dolls the other day and said, "This Maggie...come here, Maggie. Oh, what's a mattuh? it's ok. (big hug to doll) I love you, Maggie." I know I am a biased mom, but could she possibly be any sweeter?
10. When we say prayers at night, we always ask God to bless everyone that Kirby knows. She always says, "who else" or "who's next" until we've been through everyone at least twice. FYI - Kirby especially wants big blessings for Jack and Katy, Nana and Papa's dogs.
