Long time no talk to...

GOD, I am such an incredible slacker. I started this sucker and just can't keep up with it.

Let's quickly run down the family.

Ty:
He has been doing ok. He came down with Pneumonia a week ago, and it has been a struggle for him ever since. His cough keeps him up all night, and the poor kid is just down right exhausted. Last night I was up listening to him cough for 2 hours, I went in his room and sat by his bed for about 30 minutes, propping his head up with more pillows and trying to coax some water down to see if that would sooth him, but nothing worked. The hack just kept on coming and I found myself getting madder and madder at the cough. I was laying in bed yelling internally for the cough to just leave him the hell alone. I have never felt so helpless before. I feel even more helpless then I did when he had his infection in his ankle, likely because this time he just seems more uncomfortable, and last time it wasn't trouble taking time of work. We cried together on the way into work this morning. I felt so guilty for not lettings him sleep in, but things are just so busy in the office. Then I feel guilty for making work a priority. Then I feel guilty for not being able to do anything to help the cough. I ended up just getting mad all over again, REALLY PISSED. I just want him to be comfortable again!!

Ricky:
Ricky is doing well. Still has a job which is good. They have moved him to 32 hour work weeks, but that is ok with me for right now. Our remodel starts Monday, so having him around to pack up and help extra days is just nice, as then I don't have to do as much. He has also joined the safety committee at work, and even went above and beyond and worked nights a couple times to try to keep good standings at work during these difficult times. He is doing rock star and I am super proud of him.

The Girls:
The girls are doing good, and we found out Tuesday they are officially girls! We go in next week for our 20 week work up, but the doctor took a sneak peek for me a bit early. They are moving like crazy, and are already resembling their brother. Between Ricky and I, we sure make some active children. The doctor was amazed at how active they were during the ultrasound, especially considering how short on room they are in there. I have seen several women pregnant at 5 months recently, and I hate them all. They are hardly showing, and I look at least 8 months prego. I still have three more months to go... start opening up those door jams.

Me:
Things are good with me. I am stressed, but what is new... Work is insanely crazy, INSANE, I feel like I am missing beats right and left with everything going on. The house is about to be torn apart which stresses me out, as I have so much left to do to prepare for that. The girls will be here in roughly 3 months, and I haven't purchased a single thing for them or even cleared out their room. Ty is sick, and I can't fix it, which bums me out most of all. I have to much to do, and a tired body that doesn't want to do any of it. Just got to write my to do list and start checking things off so I can get some peace :)

Love you all, sorry for the long update, and will hopefully have some new pics for folks next posting.
