4 Years Ago

these two little guys decided to make a very early arrival... at 33 weeks.

• And after i had laid in a hospital bed only allowed to walk to the bathroom for 7weeks. Trying my best to keep them in. Contracting every night. Nightly doses of Terbutaline. A 24/7 IV of Magnesium, a new IV every four days with a least 2 attempts to nail my rolling veins, a suspicious heart murmur because of to much Terbutaline, twice a day fetal monitoring laying still so they could get a good solid hr reading, constant eating to gain the weight they wanted to see gained --never happened, pretty stretch marks, a two yr old at home and an emergency c-section. Still didn't seem like enough sacrifice when I saw them like this.....


• Kage 3 lbs 12oz

Kadin 4lbs 2oz

after 6 weeks for Kadin and 8 weeks for Kage. We were a family of 5 at HOME!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYS!!!!!March 1st 2004.

January:

• Jase turned 6!!! Josh and I celebrated with him at "the animal restaurant" aka Rain Forest Cafe.


• Josh visited Arizona for a weekend before continuing up to Las Vegas for a week long Home Builders show. Where he talked all about Residential Fire Sprinklers. And something about a "Pink Gorilla" -- he says what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.


• Josh turned 29 and we celebrated with Elizabeth and Emillio at Lucialls Rockin Pianos in Milwaukee.



• Varsity had her 18month check up where she is 33 1/2in. tall =95%, 22.2lbs =20%, head 18 1/2 in. =60%, so still a tall skinny girl . I'm loving it, josh not so much more worrying on his end. ha ha
