Update

WhoHoo! The health nurse was over this morning and we weighed baby Jeremy, and he is 8 lbs and 7.5 ounces! That officially takes him off of the concern list and puts him in the 50th percentile exactly where he is supposed to be!

Talon and Gizmo!

Gizmo keeps trying to get Talon to play ball with him, and can't understand why he won't! If you look carefully there is a little red ball by Talon.
Normally Talon loves Gizmo, until this morning when Gizzy got brave enough to reach for his ball, and then Talon started to cry....
Another thing we have noticed with Giz, is that when baby Jeremy starts to cry, Gizmo gets very upset and starts to howl, and pokes me until I do something about it. however, when Talon crys he doesn't pay attention....but he does try to play with him.....

A Few Moments Respite....

This is the boys watching Sesame Street....believe it or not.....Actually....Jeremy is probably watching Talon, but Talon loves Sesame Street and watches it every morning until Elmo's world is over...It is my few minutes of respite time.....
However, this morning it didn't last for long....Talon has bronchitis, and has been generally miserable now for over a month. He has been on antibiotics, and they didn't even really seen to work.....so later this week, he will go back to the docs....
(Now I suggest if you really want some fun....that you try dragging a 6 week old and a four month old to the doctors by yourself....I highly recommend it....)
So for now, he is sitting on my lap trying to decide if it is more fun to type, or yell at me.....
By lunch time yesterday I actually thought I was going to lose it....
Both babies screamed TOGETHER in concert from about 3am until 1 pm....
Fortunately Bree had the afternoon off, and as she was less insane then me by then, kindly took Talon to her room and played with him for a while.
Today Talon is still miserable, but fortunately Jeremy is back to his quiet little self....

More on Life with Two Babies....

You know the other day when Kendal was talking about how we have really lame conversations now??? Well, the other thing I noticed that has gone down the drain along with our conversation and my sleep....and our sex life....(sorry was that out loud...i've got to stop that....)
Is that my house looks like a complete disaster zone....
Actually...it looks ALOT like my friend Cories basement...and she is doing renovations...LOL!
....and they don't just cry....they do it both at once....while one is wanting to be nursed! LOL!
What other things have gone down the drain....
OH...little things like getting dressed before noon...
having more then five minute baths...Can anyone relate?
I am sure that i could think of other things...but I have to go now....
One of the babies is crying!!!

Brandy in Ottawa!

Wow!!!
A milestone in parenting.....
My baby went at 4.30 am this morning for her first airplane ride! Kendal got up to drive there, which I guess I could have done considering I was already up all night anyways with the boys....
She was pretty nervous, and so was I.....
Anybody who knows Brandy knows that she is extremely absent minded, and she had to change flights in Calgary...on her own....and I was very afraid that she was going to get on the wrong plane....
After all if a nine year old boy can get away with it (news) why can't my 16 year old daughter?
She will be gone till next Sat.
She went with a group called Encounters Canada...and she was able to go for free because of her native heritage....
Very cool.
She will take a series of courses over the week, and get to go to a concert. I will get her to post more info when she comes home.


We were pretty tired today though...I was on worship team this morning and I have only played guitar once since I had the baby.....That was interesting for me.... Not to sure how well I did....
We went out for lunch with our friends Nathan and Melanie for lunch at the restaurant where my daughter Krystal is working...then we came home and kind of crashed for the rest of the afternoon...at least as much as one with two babies is able to....LOL!

We are sad right now though....We missed the Bare Naked Ladies concert when they were in Regina....
Please come back soon guys so we can make your next concert.......

Life with two babies

When you haven't slept properly in weeks odd things happen. For example Robyn and I used to be able to have reasonably intelligent conversations. This was a real conversation we had the other day. We were in the car, eating Mcds and I dropped my fries. So like Homer Simpson I say:

Me: D'oh!

Robyn(not hearing me properly): No?

Me(a little louder): D'oh.

Robyn(more confused): No?

Me(quite loud now): D'oh!

Robyn(very confused now): No?

Me(practically shouting): D'oh!

Robyn(very perplexed): NO what?

Me: D'oh, Homer, D'oh

Robyn: OHHH....

Kendal

Evil Echo

This is our creepy cat. Bree took this pic with her new digital cam. No it hasn't been altered. No wonder no one wants this cat. We have been trying to give her away for months now. She is a 2 year old female, fixed and rarely levitates or practices mind control. If you are interested please email Robyn.

Back in Action!

Well, here I am again, after missing in action for two and a half months.....

It was really hard to get on the computer after I quit work on medical leave....I was done on the 20th of Dec. and then it was Christmas , and then New Years, and then all of a sudden I was in labor!

Sunday Jan. 7th, we had gone to our friends Brenda and Jason's house for dinner...and finally left around 11. We had just got home, when my water broke!...so it was off to the hospital...where I assumed I would go into labor...But NO! Instead, i sat in the hospital until Wed. when they induced me!

Jeremy was born four weeks early, on Jan 10th at 9.22 pm. The labor went fairly quickly-as far as labors go, and Jer was born after about 5 hours. He was 6 lbs, and ever so cute!
After that it was in and out of the hospital for the next month, because of severe jaundice and dehydration. They were also concerned as he lost more weight then he was supposed to and for a while weighed 5 lbs.

He is out now, and weighs in at a healthy 7 lbs, 2 ozs.
I am glad, because i was really getting sick of the hospital......

One funny story about my delivery.
I was in the middle of pushing, when my very wonderful OB said, "There is only one thing I ask of you....You have to name the baby after me...."

Well for some reason I can't quite fathom, I got it in my head that God was talking to me and telling me to name my baby Amos. So This is what is going on in my head..."God wants me to name my baby Amos, it's a word from God....Oh wait a minute....Amos is the doctors name... (Dr. Akimbee's first name) and it took me a couple of minutes to realize that it was actually the Dr. talking to me...so then i turn to Kendal crying and say..."His name isn't Amos, it's Jeremy.....I miss Jeremy! He died.....Kendal was like....that's nice but you should probably concentrate on pushing now hon.....LOL!

He is very cute (Jeremy that is) and we are loving him. However, I am a little worn out, as we also have Talon living with us, and I am kind of at the end of my rope. He is supposed to be going home soon...and as much as we love him, I will be glad to have some time to get aquainted with my son....and sleep would be nice too. LOL!

I am Back...sort of...
