October 5- I was just cleaning up our room, making considerable progress I might add, only to discover Sophie had completely destroyed the rest of the house!

October 12- Sophie and I just got back from the park. I let her walk the 1/2 mile there. We were only at the park for 20 min, but the whole process of getting back home took 2 hours! She had to touch everything!

October 18- When I went to get Sophie this morning, I asked her if she was ready for breakfast, and she said, "I too busy!"

October 19- Sophie poured an ice cold cup of water down my back, and she is following me around with all her books even though I've already read them 9 times!

October 19- Sophie unwrapped and ate one of those pork bouillon cubes thinking it was candy. Oh I wish I'd had a video camera!

Needless to say, life at our house is really interesting!

Update

These past couple weeks have been pretty tough for my family. I was extremely sick, which was nothing really new because I was sick for 7 months while pregnant with Sophie. But then I had some bleeding a few weeks ago. We went and saw our babies on an ultrasound, and both were still there but not doing well.

I continued to be miserable, and then I started passing out frequently. I figured I was anemic, which is nothing new to me either. When I went in for a normally scheduled doctor visit, they took an ultrasound and saw one baby and what looked like a lot of blood flow.

We had to wait an entire weekend until we could find out what was going on. Monday we went in and found out that we had lost one of our babies. It had been absorbed by the twin.

We are sad about our loss, but we are extremely grateful the other baby is doing so much better now. We got some wonderful footage of our sweet little baby, and we feel very blessed to welcome him/her into our family!

I am feeling so much better now, and we are grateful for the Lord's hand in our lives.

Thank you everyone for your amazing support!
