Ashley and Victoria are still in the hospital tonight. Victoria has developed Jaundice. it’s sort of common these day, especially in breastfed babies.

And Ashley is having trouble getting her blood pressure down. During her last visit her blood pressure was up slightly from her normal. They think that she may have been starting to develop preeclampsia. Because Tori was born it stopped the progress of it. But the after effects might be her elevated blood pressure. Of course that is just one guess so far. But it seem the most likely at this point.

I have full confidence that sometime in the next 36 hours they’ll be home… safe and sound. In the mean time I have some photos to share.

I am sore all over and physically exhausted as well. Lifting my arms feels like lifting 100 pounds, lol. But I feel happy and satisfied too. I attacked my house today and got so much done. About twice a year I rip apart each room in my house. It’s usually around February/March and then again around August/September. The garbage men HATE me on these days, lol. Ya know what amazes me the most?? It’s all the crap we manage to acquire in between these cleanings. In about 6 months time we seem to acquire enough crap for 2 more houses!! I keep tossing it out and they keep bringing it back.

Today I started cleaning at 10 am and I didn’t stop till after 6 pm. I cleaned Drew’s room from top to bottom. Washing his walls, vacuuming his floor, scrubbing his carpet, sorting, tossing and organizing his toys. Everything. Then I clean Ashley’s…same drill basically… minus the toy sorting, lol. The front hall and the entire living room got attacked today too. 8 hours! Next I have to hit my linen closet, my bedroom (again!! I have already clean my bedroom twice this year, lol.) and the kitchen (also again!) I have 4 huge garbage bags filled with crap I threw out and 3 filled with stuff to donate and I haven’t even gone through Drew’s clothes yet. I ran out of steam, lol.

And Drew…He has to own 1000+ cars…EASY!!! Look for yourself. This is every car he owns. Most are small matchbox cars. This bin is 2 feet long by 2 feet high by 1 foot wide. (2 x 2 x 1). And it’s filled to the brim.. and then some, lol. Do you think he needs more?? Hehe.

But after all of that… I have 70% of my house super squeaky clean. And over the next week I’ll probably finish the house… whew, lol.

I would really love to..one day…make a job out of my photography hobby. I have been checking tons of books out of the library and reading as much as I can. Lots of information has been assimilated by my brain but there is plenty more to learn. And even more still that I keep reading over and over but; it makes no sense to me at this point. As it begins to make more sense I am sure that will unlock a couple-hundred more doors of stuff to learn in order to have even a remote chance of being good enough to make money doing it.

But I hope that someday I can. I think I have a real good chance too… I mean…. these look pretty damned professional to me, lol

…Army Pajamas and a ride on a BIG PINK 4-Wheeler.

Andrew’s Aunt Lynn and Uncle Paul gave this to him. It was Kelcey’s of course…as if the Pink & Purple didn’t give that away already. But Drew could care less what color it is. He was thrilled to have his own power wheels. He was so excited to go play with it he ran out in his Army Pajamas and hopped right on it. And what a sight he was, lol. But he loved it and had a blast. I can see many more happy days zooming around the neighborhood with this baby.

Thanks Aunt & Uncle!!

Have you, or anyone you know, ever had a 4D Ultrasound done? Ashley just recently did and it’s amazing. You can actually see more of a “picture” of your child in the womb. It’s like getting a sneak peek at a movie before it hits the theaters. We got to see some of Victoria’s features. Although she wasn’t really up for pictures and kept putting her hands and her foot in her face. But it was a great experiance and we loved “seeing” her.

This was the best one I think and it shows her smiling.
