nothing too exciting happening here. darcy and I played all day (Heather was gone to visit Michael). She's a busy bee! I tried to get her to use the potty today but had no luck... i think it takes more from the parents than the kids... i have a hard time being consistant.
Heather and I went swimming at the YMCA after supper... love it! I even stuck my FEET in the hot tub for little bit. After the pool we came home and eat again! I guess swimming works up an appetite... not that I swam laps by any means. We watched the last half of Mean Girls and then watched Ice Princess. Its almost midnight now and I thought I should try and sleep. I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow at 12:40. Its not my doctor... he's out of the office. Its just one of those go in and answer questions kinda appointments... I'm not sure when they'll start checking me again... but I made my doctor promise to give me a warning so I'll be prepared.
My baby shower is this weekend... i'm pretty excited. We went yesterday to finish putting stuff on my registry at Walmart (which took me forever to figure out how to do it!). It was fun to look at boy stuff. We're doing the whole cars and trucks theme for the nursery... which is more like a small part of a really big room... but thats okay! Normally about this time i'd be nesting (OMG I did this a lot with Darcy... Matthew would wake up the next morning after I had stayed up all night and I would say... go look in the nursery at what I did... most of the time I had put together something or rearranged all the clothes and stuff) But this time around i don't have a room so I sit and day dream about when we get our new house... what color I'm gonna paint... how I'll have their room set up and all that jazz. I have managed to clean out my tall lingerie dresser for the boys. I even have one small drawer full of onesies and little t-shirts. They'll be here soon!!! Matthew and I think it would be cool if they were born on St. Patrick's day. If not on that day then maybe the 21st of March... that's our 5 year dating anniversary. Whenever they come it won't be soon enough!
Well i'd better try and get some sleep.

GUESS WHAT MY 15 MONTH OLD JUST DID?????
She went tee tee in the potty on the first attempt!!!!
We went to walmart earlier and bought a potty. We were putting it together when she woke up just now. We took it into the bathroom and sat it in the floor then took off her diaper and said "look Darcy its a potty... tee tee in the potty" and sat her little booty on it and she PEED IN IT!!!!!!! We have a genius! Can you believe it?!?! Now we know they tend to go back and forth in the beginning but we're just so stinkin excited she did it on the first try! We will just continue to take her with us when we potty and ask her if she needs to potty too.

Someone's feeling icky
and it aint me!!!! It's Jessica! And it couldn't have come at a more worse time. I say that b/c I had arranged for Blaine, Tara and Rocky's son, to spend the night with us tonight but he cannot be around anyone sick b/c he could carry it back to Rocky.
I picked up Blaine from UAB around 5pm but just returned from dropping him back off. I felt so bad for exposing him to a sick child but I didn't know she was sick. Jessica says her tummy hurts and she has a low grade fever 99.9. They just can't afford to take any chances with Rocky.... which is completely understandable.
I've given Jessica some Motrin for her fever and some Mylanta for her tummy... hopefully she'll be fine tomorrow morning.
Speaking of Blaine... this kid is the most well behaved kid ever!!!!!!! On the way home from getting him this afternoon he never made a peep.... and it was the same on the way back! He's so quiet... when I would speak to him he'd always address me as M'am. Now he's not shy... thats not what it is... he's just good. My mom and sister always say that Zac is just a boy and all boys act like Zac... nope... can't say that they do... Blaine and Zac are the same age but you'd never know it. Blaine was here long enough to eat pizza and play some computer games... when it was time to go he never argued. Darcy on the other hand did not want to see him leave... she went with me to drop him off... she cried when he got out of the car!!! Too cute!
Well I guess we'll be skipping church again tomorrow since Jessica's sick... which doesn't bother me too much b/c with all the yuck going around I really hate to leave Darcy in the nursery.

on a side note
i'm feeling pretty drained today... not much energy. I feel bad for my hubby... since he's been home I've been on the couch most of the time while he looks after Darcy. My tummy is pretty tight which makes things really uncomfortable and i'm starting to get a headache... which stinks b/c i haven't had one in while AND i think the pills the doctor gave me is what is causing my vision to do weird things.
i'm tired of complaining and i''m sure you're tired of hearing it. can you imagine being married to me :)

Update on Rocky
I just spoke to Tara... she's on her way home to be with her son. She's going to be back first thing in the morning and bring her son with her. I will probably have him all weekend... which is no big deal b/c he's great kid.
They haven't been told what's going on with Rocky... they're doing test but have no results back yet. I think the stress is starting to build up. She was telling me that she's worried about her job... sucks that she has to worry about that during a time like this... but she's worried b/c she's the only income. She has used all her sick/vacation days. So the days she has to take off to be with him she doesn't get paid. It cost her a little over $30 a day to drive down here to visit him. I didn't even think about it... gas and money for the parking deck ($6 for the stinkin parking deck!!!) And more if she wants to eat. I know God will provide but it doesn't mean you don't worry about how and when. Please continue to pray for them.

continue to pray
I got another phone call this morning from Tara, Rocky's wife. She was on her way back to UAB (BTW they live in decatur). Rocky is running a high fever and today they're going to run some more test. She's really frustrated with the nurses/doctors at UAB. Please pray they can figure out what is going on in his body. And pray for her as well. She's an amazinly strong woman and I know this is wearing on her. We need to lift them both up in prayer.

Did I tell ya??
Yesterday morning I was puked on by Darcy 2x by 6:30am!
I'm pretty sure she got ahold of a bad sippy cup of milk the night before. She's feeling much better today. It was pretty gross though... the first time it was really chunky. She threw up all over her bed and it was in her hair. I had to give her a bath. The 2nd time we were in my bed! But there was near as much - Thank God!

update on Rocky
I heard from Tara and she said they think he's having an allergic reaction to something but are running test. She seemed calmer the last time I talked to her so I think things aren't as bad as we first thought. Thanks for the prayers!
I have a prayer request
I have a very dear friend that is in the hospital at UAB right now. He has cystic fibrosis. He's 31 years old and has been diagnosed with this disease his entire life. He's had 'close calls' over and over again. Well this morning I got a phone call from his wife, Tara, she said he was supposed to get out today but she had gotten a phone call saying he's had a turn for the worse. They've got him on oxygen right now and they're trying to figure out whats happening. I'm posting this on my xanga b/c I believe in the power of prayer. God has done so much in their lives over the past 4 years. 4 years ago is when they both surrender their lives to Christ. Before that, they were both very involved in the white power movement. God has since then filled their hearts with love for all people. They've gotten very involved with church and just recently took on the role of youth pastors. But before they could preach their first sermon he got sick again. He's been in the hospital for 3weeks. We all know how when things are going good in our lives how satan can come in and start turning things upside down... BUT we also know how God can come in and clean house. Please pray for this couple. They also have a 9 year old son.
It's Rocky, Tara and Blaine Gillespie.
I'll keep you updated. Thanks for the prayers.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMA!
It's my mom's birthday today! I think she's 54 or 55... somewhere around there. She's old!
Annoying!
Most annoying and over asked questions for a pregnant woman...
Okay so I'm gonna list the most annoying and over asked questions (or comments) I get asked.... here they are:
Are you ready to have those babies? Nah, i think I want to hold em in for a little while longer!
Are you feeling okay? (I get asked this question everytime I walk upstairs and see grandmaw) Why Yes! I'm feeling peachy!
Are you going into labor? (I get asked this question everytime I walk upstairs out of breath by mrs. b) YES! right here in the middle of the kitchen CATCH!
Glad its you rather than me. Well with that attitude, me too!
How are you going to handle 3 small children? With the help of my wonderful husband!
Are you comfortable? WHAT DO YOU THINK!?!
What are you going to do? When? Can you be more specific?
Have you had those babies yet? Yeah, this is just water weight.
How many kids do you have? the twins will make four (this is usually followed by a gasp and then a rude comment... how old are you? and then... Are you going to have more?)
I could go on and on but I'll quit while i'm ahead.
