I'm going part-time!!!!! More details to come, but I'll have every Friday off and no nanny. Kids are almost 19 months and need more stimulation than our nanny can provide. She's very good, but three toddlers are a lot of work.
What that means, is that I'll have time on Fridays to blog. I have every other Friday off now, but I don't like being home when the nanny is here - I'm real uncomfortable, but now I'll have the whole house to myself (plus the two dogs and cat).
Looking forward to catching up with everyone.

Black Pants and Long Coats
Thank God for black pants and long coats. I PEED MY PANTS AT THE GROCERY STORE TONIGHT!!!! I knew I had to go pretty bad and I did make it to the bathroom, but as soon as I entered the stall, my water broke, so to speak. I was doing my darndest to sit down before it got any worse, but the stupid door wouldn't close. Not a pretty sight.
I guess I need to start kiegles (sp?), huh?
I wish I could say that was my most embarrasing moment. It's not, but it's certainly up there.
Other than "the incident", I'm doing o.k. Kids are wonderful, work sucks, and I'm exhausted all the time. I have lost a couple pounds, but I try not to get discouraged when I realize that I still have 10 to go.
Gotta run. It's almost 10:00 and I need to get a couple of hours of sleep before the kids wake up. (I know, I know...they should be sleeping thru the night. Not so easy when you're talking triplets, though....more on that another time.)

Sad News
I could have put this in my earlier post, but I believe it deserves it's own.
I don't know if I told you about my co-worker/friend who was dealing with infertility issues. They had been trying unsuccessfully for several years. In 2004 she finally got pregnant, but miscarried, and hadn't had any luck since. Long story short, they did invitro in the Spring along with the PGD to test for certain genetic disorders. One took and she was well on her way. Well, when they went for their level two ultrasound they learned that their baby's heart had just one chamber and was on the wrong side. Long story short, she was born on November 27th with these plus several other issues and was immediately admitted to the Children's Hospital. Even with these issues, however, the doctors and family were all very optimistic. They knew it would be a rough first year, but believed the baby would be able to lead a fairly normal life.
On Monday, December 7th, we received acall at work to tell us that my friend"s baby died at 4:00 that morning.
It's almost too sad to even talk about. I don't believe they can afford another round of invitro. She's 38 and both she and her husband had issues so it's ulikely they'll get pg on their own. How do you go on after something like this? The funeral is Wednesday. Please send up some prayers for my friend and her baby.

The Kids Are One!!
Aren't they cute! This picture was actually taken on their birthday - December 17th. I'm sorry it has taken me so long to post. As usual, I'm so tired by the end of the night that I barely have time to check my e-mails. I'm hoping to go part-time before Summer.
I hope everyone had a nice holiday and I'll try to be better about posting in 2008.

Still Bitter
My 45 year old BIL recently married a 28 year old girl from Central America. I call her The Princess. She comes from a very wealthy family, youngest of 7, and from what DH and I can gather, never worked for much of anything (no offense to anyone, but she's getting a doctorate in Spanish and Poetry, for God's sake!). Anyway, on their wedding website, she announced they were going to try to get pg on their wedding night. Well, it didn't happen until 2 months later, but joy was not the first emotion I was feeling at hearing their news. In fact, I was really pissed off! How terrible am I? I guess even though I feel so blessed/lucky/fortunate every day for my trio, it just doesn't seem fair that it should come so easily to some, but not others. And though I wouldn't trade my kids for any number of biological children, I still grieve for the six biological chldren I lost and all those that will never be.
