In true Catherine style (a style that is showing up everywhere on the internet), I bring you random thoughts...

This weekend I am going with another friend to a friend's baby shower. She's having twin girls. I saw her on Sunday morning and just shook my head and smiled. She said, "I know, I know!" She really has no clue how tough it is going to be with TWO babies and a toddler. I realized in that moment that I wasn't jealous. Which is a big step for me. There was a small small hope that Asher was a twin when I got pregnant with him, but I am realizing that had he been a twin I would be clinically insane right now. And there's also the realization that had Lucy's twin made it, Asher most likely wouldn't be here. Strange.

Scott came home last night upset by news that his co-worker's wife delivered twin girls at 24 weeks on Lucy's birthday. Both girls passed away shortly after. For those of you who have been in a similar situation, how can we offer our support without being creepy or overburdening? I wanted to maybe get a pendant or frame for mom with both girls' names and just mail it to her with a little note...thoughts?

I've gotten lots of organization and listing on ebay done. If today is beautiful it's high time for a walk.

I hear a little munchkin wanting out of her crib. Asher Man is getting a little better about sleeping longer stretches. He went from 10 - 12:30 in his bassinet, then wanted food...then I slept with him in teh chair from 1 - 3:30, then he ate again at 3:30 and we slept on the couch, where I started thinking about the movie "Poltergeist" and FREAKING MYSELF OUT.

Scott has been telling me "Honey, no more cookies!" when I buy those Chips Ahoy soft-baked cookies. I eat them and then keep complaining that I want to lose weight. Yesterday at Target (our first outing!), I was grabbing some and Lu looked at me with a little grin, pushed them back and said, "No cookies!" I just looked at her in disbelief. When did she turn into a little girl on me?

Today's funny poll question (No, there probably won't be one tomorrow)... Would you buy condoms at Big Lots? (a discount store that takes all the rejects). This is when you KNOW you're thrifty...

All for now...
