We are +30 weeks into the pregnancy and each day I think how could it be possible that she's going to get bigger. I don't think we would have done anything differently had we known more about birthing multiples before implantation but I think someone should have warned us or prepared us better.

We've got a real problem with photo-storage. I think Kodak has a pay service maybe $25 for the whole year and you can have access to downloading and uploading any number of photos onto their service. Maybe it's worth the price. Right now we have three computers all with photos on them. I know I could get an external hard drive but that just seems like another piece of equipment to worry about and for the cost of one of those I could probably buy a couple years of the Kodak service. Any thoughts?

I've got a cold.

I can't believe it has been so long since my last post. Since last time we've had one guest leave (sad to see you go Sis) and another set arrive and depart (sad to see you go M&D) and I've contracted a nasty cough that I'm hoping to get rid of real soon. We've also reached the 30 week mark in the pregnancy of the twins. The end is near. I can't imagine what it's going to be like. It almost feels like it's not going to be real until these guys are in the house.

It's too late for me to be doing this and I'm too sick.

Good night.

Super8-----Yikes!!



So we drove down to SF for a family vacation over the holidays. It was 16 hours of driving on the way down, four of them painfully slow as we had to put chains to trudge through 100 miles of snow. As soon as we arrived at the hotel at 1 AM things took a much needed turn for the better. Plus I must mention that The Kid and Z traveled like troopers, I was amazed. Anyhow you've probably heard about the trip details from the CEO or I.

What I really wanted to post was some info about our night spent at The Super8. Wow! That was quite a place. We knew that it was a cheap hotel but it seemed to advertise all the right things, heated pool, internet, microwave, refrigerator etc... What they forgot to advertise was the dirty carpeting, old pillows and moldy shower curtain. As I sit here and write about it and think about it I'm embarrassed to say we didn't get up and leave. It was the heated pool that hooked us in, the two little ones love to swim and so we converted my pajama bottoms to swim trunks and took 'em in. A couple days later I asked The Kid what was her favorite hotel (mind you the one in SF was a four star) and she paused and thought for a good five seconds before confidently answering, "the one with the pool." And in the end I guess that is all that really matters is that they felt safe and loved and had fun swimming. However, you'll never find me at a Super8 again.
