OMG

yes, i just used "OMG" as a title. no, i am not 13, just a lazy typist.

anyways-- OMG!!!! the boys will be ONE YEAR OLD in just 2 weeks!!!

i just looked at my ticker & realized how darn old they're getting. i guess i better get on the stick with birthday party plans, eh?


& speaking of OMG-- last night, as we were putting the boys to bed, we lost power. & it was dark. like, DARK dark. pitch black, one might say. did we have flashlights at the ready? of course not! did we even have flashlights in a rational place, near batteries? HA! why would we do something like that?
so we went on a hunt for flashlights & batteries, & as soon as we walked out of the room, the boys became hysterical. (not that they were happy about the super silent scary dark before then). i found our leftover pumpkin lights from halloween (the fake flickering candle kind) & put those in the bedroom & we kept looking. N found a real light first, & picked up conrad, who promptly puked all over the bedroom. yay reflux. bc the light he had found sucked, i kept looking & he started cleaning up. i find a light (that also sucks), & then hear N yelling, so i double time it to the bedroom & find that val has also decided to puke all over his crib & the bedroom.
we clean up as best we can in the total blackness, & now NO ONE can sleep & everything smells like vomit, so we all hang out on our bed & cuddle while N & i read by flickering pumpkin lights. the guys finally passed out & we followed suit not long after.
good times.

this morning, we stocked all our flashlights & moved them to more sensible locations. blackouts rock.

    Lol sorry the boys pukeing isnt funny but they do have great timing.We do the same thing we never have batteries in our flash lights the boys run them down when we do. The last time the lights went out we raided some of Ms toys, and ended up useing candles

  2. LOL, love it when the power goes out...i gues it happens here often enough that we know EXACTLY where our flashlights are, candles and the lighter...

    Liam likes the dark, he makes animals on the wall with his hands and flashlight...

    Doesn't sound like the boys were oh so thrilled about it though.

    ANd OMG! they will be a year! where does time go?

  3. The boys are getting so big so fast! It doesn't seem like it has been a year for your boys, let alone Noah and Caden!

    Stupid question.. Is your ticker wrong? It says 26 wks 5 days.. Now correct me if I am wrong, I thought 3rd tri started at 28 weeks?? This one has been totally bugging me since your post.

  4. kim-- i'm not sure... the ticker is right (i think) but candi seemed to think 3rd tri started at 26 weeks maybe? & i thought it started at 27... so who knows!! i'm close enough & at 90 days out, i'm just going to call it 3rd tri, lol! :)

  5. LOL, yes your close enough to call it third!

    When I had C they said the third tri started at 28 weeks.. With each tri being 13.3 weeks.

    Hmm, but their math isn't working =0)
