Phrases I've uttered recently:

Yes, so I've been MIA for a few months and let me assure you all it was not planned. I'll give a somewhat detailed explanation at a later date, but I assume most of you all know I wound up in the hospital for 3 weeks before Ems was born due to pre-eclampsia. (with a short 3 day vacation at home....) David's done most of the blog work lately, which i am totally Ok with right now. I don't think I have the functioning brain capacity to come up with anything witty right now. Anyway, it's been interesting around here lately. But, with the hour being as late as it is and Ems most definitely starting to remind me that it's closing in on her 1 AM feeding I'll make this quick.

1) Emilie went in for a weight check on Tuesday and she now weighs 5# 11oz!!! Yes, the Dr. was most surprised and quite pleased she was doing so well. I was shocked because I definitely didn't expect her to gain over a pound. That preemie formula really does the job. (She still looks like *Starvin' Marvin' when naked though; albeit not as dark skinned.) She does seem to be developing the reflux though which isn't a big deal it just means she gets to take prevacid like Bug did. It takes a few days for the meds to work but hopefully by this weekend we'll start seeing some improvement. :)

2)The fun things I've uttered this week:

"Evelyn stop licking the door!" (her response was; "But I'm cleaning it!" That's just peachy, toddler spit as Windex......)

"Evelyn don't let Emilie suck on your nose!!!!" (yeah totally never thought I'd say that in a million years....)

3) She routinely asks if she can "pet" Emilie. I'm not sure whether or not she realizes that Emilie isn't a cat.....
Oh and she tried to put me in time out today after I put her in time out......

*For those of you who don't know......Starvin' Marvin was a character on South Park. The four South Park boys decided to send in a donation to adopt a starving Ethiopian child hoping to in return receive a "teicho sports watch" in recognition of their donation. instead the company actually sends one of the kids instead of the watch. Cartman names him "Starvin' Marvin"
