Found a copy of the Front Row video by Margaret Becker and enjoyed watching it with Lucy and Nancy. Kevin Anderson Scott Patrick Knies Beth Leimbach Zambone - remember that one?

Lucy is out having a fun play date with Jon and Mike Kuberski. Thanks so much, guys! She really needs the chance to get out of the hiuse & do some running around - and I can use the quiet time with Nancy!

Nancy weighed in at 5.12 lbs today!

Trying to wake up. The whole 2-4 hours of sleep (plus occasional cat-naps) each night is really starting to take its toll. I'm now falling asleep while feeding Nancy.

Fun morning with Lucy & her preschool class at the pumpkin patch (Lynd's fruit farm is great!)

Really wants the Labyrinth soundtrack to play for Halloween all of a sudden

Wayne, Dad & Mom are all starting the day over at the new house, painting, etc. I'm on diaper & feeding duty at the current residence. Got 5ish hours of un-interrupted sleep last night and a couple of cat naps in the pre-midnght hours. The grey, rainy weather is not helping me feel motivated. OK, I think that's all the news here . . .

Dinner, laundry & a very basic picking up of the worst disaster areas have all been accomplished today. And everyone has been suitably fed when needed. I have high hopes of getting a shower tonight and spending more than three hours in my bed. This is parenthood 2.0

Mom and Wayne are working at the house today while I try to keep up with our two girls. Is it nap time yet?

Spent time at the new house today picking paint colors & answering all the Q's that everyone seems to think only I can answer. Lots of work done, much much more yet to go. One or more person(s) will be there on Monday, Thursday, and Friday this week.

Alternating between excitement at the new house & love for my kids on one hand and OhMyGodWe'reNeverGoingToGetAnythingDone on the other. Seriously - over half of my waking hours (which are too numerous) are spent feeding or preparing food for Nancy. Never mind feeding myself, taking care of Lucy, and oh that pile of @##$&$^ paperwprk that has important house stuff and medical stuff for me to deal with. Time to take a deep breath.

Looking at paint samples . . . . Hoping to do the move the last weekend in October or first in November.

Lucy's in preschool. Nancy is sleeping. What from the unbelievably long todo list of doom should I start on?

Ok - gonna catch up on SW stuff today - really and truly!

Taking everyone over to the new house to look & plan what needs to be done before the move.

Everyone is home!

Dad got home last night. Nancy should be coming home this morning. Cue a huge sigh of relief, immediately followed by the madness of caring for a newborn and a 3and3quarters year old while living in a crowded house and preparing to move into a "new" house. But all the madness is due to good things for once, so I'll take it with a big "thank you"

Quick update - Dad will probably be home tonight and Nancy is most likely coming home tomorrow. Tests have ruled out all of the worst possibilities for Dad, but we still don't know what actually happened.

Nancy may be coming home this evening!

prayers & good thoughts for my Dad, please. He got extrememly dizzy while at work this morning - to the point where he couldn't stand. When he tried to eat something, he began to vomit. He is now at the hospital (mom is with him) and the Dr's are running tests to figure out what is going on.

Today is a good day. Several "small" things have been accomplished, the Dr gave me a clean bill of health, and Nancy's Dr says she will probably be coming home "soon."

Big shout out and thanks to Kevin Anderson and Michelle Anderson For some really awesome baby bibs! and hugs!

Hello! I'm alive, at home at doing pretty well. Nancy is still at hospital for undetermined amount of time, but is doing very well. She is actually starting to gain weight. Trips to and from the hospital to see her take huge chunks of each day, but I absolutely must see and hold my baby! I have many things to catch up on and hope to do do this weekend. We close on the house tomorrow morning at 10. Love to all!

Hey everyone! I have a favor to ask. It looks like I am coming home sometime today. We've got today, Thurs, Fri & the weekend covered as far as having someone around to help with Lucy, but we really need someone for tomorrow (Weds). If you can drop by for even a couple of hours to play with, read to, etc Lucy, help me take my blood pressure, and that sort of thing, could you please let me know? Thanks so much!

Wayne threw out my switch witch gift!!!!! Argh!!!!
