Twins, (W)Under Girls and Green Skies

So... I kind of failed miserably at posting on a monthly basis. Sorry! I got caught up in the facebook world and other internet past times fell by the way side. So, here is the update on the twins. If you don't know by now, they are both girls. So that will make #5 and #6 girls for us. We don't know if they are identical and won't know until they are born. They do both have the same nose though, and it is my nose and not Sara's (so sad for girls to come into the world with an English bubble nose instead of a sleek Italian nose). Sara is at 32 weeks and has started having contractions that are pretty much being controlled by blood pressure medications. She is on bed rest. The doctor says there is a great chance that we are safe for another 2 weeks at least, and optomistic that she can hold out until 36 weeks. We have almost decided on the names. We are going to keep with the tradition of classic names and call them Esther and Polly. Sara truly looks like she is going to split in two any day now. See for yourself.

Audrey is having troubles with potty training. Given the choice of playing and going potty she chooses the former (and let's face it, if it was socially acceptable I think we all would do the same). But in addition to her insatiable desire for fun getting in the way of proper waste disposal, it seems that she has underwear dyslexia. It doesn't matter if we tell her that the unders go on UNDER, because the other girls find it funny and mimic her. So now we call them our Wunder Girls! Something similar to this happened when Eliza was young. She was just learning her colors and, as a joke, I told her the sky was Green and the lawn was Blue. It took Sara 4 months to convince her otherwise.


I will strive to post weekly for the next few in order to keep you all in the know about the progress of Esther and Polly. And we hope you all have a W'under'ful Independence Day!
