OH MY GOODNESS!!!! My Google has been down since Friday night and that has caused SUCH havoc in my life!!! It meant that every time I opened my Mozilla Firefox I would have 3 of my tabs come up saying that the server was busy. It meant limited access to my g-mail account - my only e-mail. Most importantly it meant that Blogger was also down for me! I have wanted to update since Friday and just have not been able to!
SO I guess that I am here to say that I won't be updating that much until I get most of my homework done. I have a bunch to do and only limited time to do it in - All due sometime this week. Here is the rundown of what I have to do - (like you all really care and want to know):
I have 4 Assignments due on the 10th.
I have 6 due on the 13th
5 due on the 15th (4 of these are 4-6 page book reviews and one is a 7 page research paper)
I then have 6 more assignments that are due the 27th and 28th, but I need to be done with everything by the 15th though because we have no clue what next weeks holds with this baby.
That in total is 21 assignments that I still need to do - do you remember just 2 weeks ago it was at 24?? Gee I have been busy.
Well I am off to write an answer to "How do you describe listening in a chat group?"

Isaac is officially ear infection free!!!
Well for the first time in close to 2 months - Isaac is officially healthy! No more ear infections!
He is almost 25 lbs now - I am surprised that he is not 52 lbs because he out eats BOTH of his brothers! He will literally eat double what Ethan AND Isaac together eats. and he is only 6 oz's heaver than Aidan. Aidan must be eating his socks or something to pack on the pounds (thats where they are all going - now I know)!
MUST ....GO .....NEED ......TO .........DO ........MORE ..........DREADED ...............HOMEWORK ............ :(

Answers Part 2
Here is another answer to a question that was posed to me from my blog asking if there were questions. Does that make any sense?
Julie asked: What do you do to alleviate hip/back pain from laying down 24/7? I really am dying to know since I'm aching and figure you've been at this longer than me.
Well I would like to know the answer to this one too! Really the only thing that I find that brings some temp relief is to get on my hands and knees. I will get like this a few times a day. I have also been known to prop some pillows up under me so that I am resting on my knees and those pillows - as weird as it sounds it is actually a pretty comfortable position. A few other things this has helped without really knowing about it - passing gas (sad but true!) and flipping little bit from breech to head down. For some reason breech babies don't like this position.
I also sit on a heating pad 3 times or so a day. This helps the lower back pain and it also helps to heal the scar tissue from my 17P injections. When laying on your side if you put a pillow under your growing belly and then one under your hip that is against the bed - so that your hip in on the pillow and not the bed - it helps relieve some pressure as well.
Hope you are able to find some relief :)

The nurse.....
I am not sure how many read my pregnancy secrets so I decided to post this here too because it is just too crazy of a story - and I didn't want my loyal blog readers (like I have them:)) to notice that it has been a few days since my last post. Don't worry though a BIG one is in the works!
I just got off of the phone with a nurse from my insurance company. Because I am pregnant I belong to a program called "Moms to Babies". They followed me pretty closely with the twins because of the PTL and follow me closely with this pregnancy as well. She calls weekly. It is annoying. She is very hard to understand and because of HIPPA (or whatever it is) she won't talk to David if he answers the phone - even after me telling her she could. Well today the insanity continued. I don't even get into details with her - I just kinda smile and nod. Well today she asked me if I was having contractions - my answer was yes. She then asked me how many - I said a few a day - she wanted a number - I said 3 to 4. She then asked me if I WAS FEELING THEM??????? UM no - I have 3 to 4 contractions a day that I CAN'T FEEL. And she went to nursing school......

My Wish List
So I decided that I would actually write down some of the things that I am **wishing** for before little bit makes her entrance into the world. Some of them are probable some of them are just that - wishes! But hey at least it gives you something else to read right? Oh and it gives me something to do - other than homework!
1. A pedicure. With the way that I lay everyday I can see that my poor toes are DEARLY in need of some assistance. I would just do it myself to save us some money - BUT there is no way that I am able to even reach my toes at this point! Plus I would love the massage for my feet and legs.
2. My hair colored and trimmed. The day before I was admitted to the hospital in January, I was in to see Rhonda to get my hair cut and colored. I went a bit red with some blond highlights. Well I now have about 2 inches of dark/gray that is showing through. I never realized how much gray I have already - and I am only 30!!!
3. My house professionally cleaned. I would love for someone like Marry Maids to come out and clean from top to bottom. David has done such an awesome job of keeping the house clean but there is nothing like having your window sills cleaned and the nooks and crannies in the bathroom cleaned out. It would also be really nice to bring home little bit to a CLEAN house and then me not having to worry about it for a while - well at least a week!
4. Our carpets cleaned. You should see our living room floor. It is a total disaster! Juice cups have leaked, sodas spilled, leaky diapers - our floor has really taken its toll.
5. The brothers to be potty trained. Like I said this is a WISH list!
6. All of my laundry to be done. Now I am sure that this will all get done but there will always be more and it would be nice to come home to NO laundry.
7. A full nights REST-FILLED sleep. With no having to get up and pee!
That is all that I can think of right now - I am sure that there are more, but right now I need to get some sleep. :)
