So Much!

Well, again, it has been way too long since my last blog. I couldn't sum everything up in enough space, it would take days. I just have a couple things. Things have been really crazy lately, crazier then normal. Work is busy for TJ, which is odd considering the market right now. The bus is the same, and home is, well, home! The kids are doing good. We had a little snaffoo with Colin, but it seems to be ok. Since birth he has problems with his bowels. He just can't go normally. He has been completely dependant on Miralax, since about 2 weeks old, by docs orders. We finally went to see a GI Specialist at CHOP. He was great, and ordered a couple text. One being a blood test to check his thyroid, and the other being a Barium Enema. The blood test was simple. He sat there like such a brave little man, never really cried when the put the needle in. We went for the BE yesterday in King of Prussia. That was really not too bad. They put a small tube in his rectum, and pumped his bowels full of a water based liquid and took a bunch of x-ray pictures. The doc there said everything looked fine. Again, my little man never even cried. He was such a champ. The x-ray tech said she has never seen an adult, let alone a baby take the enema so well. He was excellent. Everything was great then, but the saying what goes in must come out, is an understatement for our afternoon. He pooped so much in a short amount of time, and mostly liquid. I changed his outfit 3 times, and ran out of diapers and wiped. Thank Goodness my neice wears the same size. I never need to steal them from my brother, because we never made it on our bus. He was just going and going and going so much, I had to call out for the afternoon. We are better now, just waiting on a call from the GI Specialist at CHOP to call us with the next step. We'll see, I just wish he could go like normal.
Emily has been great. She is getting smarter by the day. She is like a grown women, in a 2 year-old body. She is starting to become more of a girly girl. She likes her nails painted, and now we have to blow out her hair (it looks really cute straight), and she likes when mommy puts blush on her cheeks. She is so full of energy, and honestly she keeps me on my toes. She has a new comment every day. She is full of imagination, and happiness. I love listening to her play, and hear the way she talks. I could go on for hours on end about my baby girl. She is truely a blessing and I can't wait to see what she comes up with next.
We've had a couple rough weeks lately with so many aspects of life, and it seems to be getting better. Money of course, is always a rough part. We are surviving, just a little nervous for Christmas, but we will make it work like always. I can't wait, this year should be fun with Emily.
Our friends are expecting twins soon, I hope later. She has been having quite a bit of trouble lately. I just wish there was more I could do. She has two little ones already, and is only about 7 weeks from her full-term date. She has been having contractions and dilations in the past week or two. I really hope those babies can hold out a little longer. I think they will be just fine either way, but I am sure mommy would feel better if they could wait just a few more weeks. She looks great though, considering. I know she probably doesn't think so, but she really does. We are supposed to have dinner with them on Saturday, babies willing! I hope we do, we always have a good time.
I better go for now, babes are going to start getting hungry. I will post soon!
