Well, this weekend the girls got their first ear infection. Poor Gracie has been screaming off and on all day because it hurts. Both girls have a fever. Gracie woke up yesterday with a fever. We called the doctor and gave her Tylenol and her fever went down. Then it went back up again. Wes had to take her to the kiddie urgent care while I stayed at home and cleaned for a Christmas party.
Today, Lizzie at around 1:00 got a fever. Wes went back to the kiddie urgent care and found out that Lizzie had an ear infection in the same ear as Gracie. She's doing better than Gracie because we caught her's quicker. So, Lizzie has been sleepy all day.
On top of the ear infection, both girls now have colds. So, tomorrow I get to take a day off of work to stay home with two cranky sick babies. I feel sorry for the girls because I know it must hurt. They look at us like we should fix it and we can't.

One year ago.....
Yesterday was the anniversary of finding out I was pregnant with the girls. It was one year ago that we got up early and went to have the blood test to find out if I was pregnant. I remember we were 3rd or 4th in line. The other woman who had a transfer the same day I did was there too. It was very nerve racking. We were told that we wouldn't have results until after 2:00pm. Wes and I went home, got in our separate cars and went to work.
On my way to work, I decided to rear-end someone and ended up totaling the car. I called Wes and he freaked. He turned around, came and got me. He told the police that he was taking me to the hospital and I was pregnant.
We got to the hospital and as I was being checked into the ER (my first trip ever), the cop came and gave Wes a lecture and told him to calm down. It was kind of funny. He told Wes that he couldn't imagine how he would react in the delivery room.
They took me back to a room and checked me out. They did a pregnancy test and told me it was positive. Wes and I didn't believe their test and asked to do a second blood test. They did it and it was positive again! We were so excited. While I was in the ER, I had called the doctors office and told them about the accident. Later that day, they called to check on me and said I was the third person they had that day (who did a blood test) to have a car accident. Anyway, I was able to tell the nurse that I was pregnant. It usually worked the other way around..... It was a crazy and exciting day!
There were two good things that day. I was pregnant and we were able to buy a new bigger car for the girls.....

Rice Cereal
Last night the girls got rice cereal for the first time! It was so exciting and fun to feed it to them. It took both girls a little bit to figure out how to use the spoon, but then they got it! We learned that you don't try to feed it to them when they are sleepy and cranky......
We had a doctor's appointment yesterday and the girls are getting so big! Lizzie is 12lbs and Gracie is 11lbs 7oz. They got a shot and spit up all over Daddy and I. We are getting bad about remember all our baby supplies when we go places. We left the diaper bag in the car so Wes had to run out to get it while I waited with two babies in diapers! They were very cute and started sucking on each others hands.

Back to it
Well Thanksgiving weekend went well! We are back all safe and sound. We had a slight issue on the way home when we realized we forgot diapers! We spend a half an hour searching Paul's Valley for a grocery store to get diapers. Once we found some we fed the girls and got back on the road.
Last night both girls decided to wake up at 2am then 3am then again at 4am. What fun!..... We are trying a new night time feeding schedule in an effort for Melissa and I to get some more sleep. We are now feeding them at 8pm then again at 11pm. We are hoping the girls will last until 5 am. That will give us 5 1/2 hours of sleep in a row!
The girls have their December Synagis shot today. Melissa and I are going to take the opportunity to ask Dr. Jim a bunch of questions.

Thanksgiving
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. We had a great day. The trip to OKC went well and the girls slept. It's been hard keeping with the girls sleep schedule while we are here, but it's been ok. They will be totally messed up next week and we will spend time adjusting.
For Thanksgiving, we had lots of people here. It was really fun to see everyone. Today we celebrated my birthday with a dinner out with the family. Chris, Angie, and Kassidy were even there!
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving number two. Grandma Susie and Dick are coming. It should be fun!

Thanksgiving
Today is Melissa's Birthday!!!!! Happy Birthday Sweetie!
Melissa is off of work this week for Thanksgiving, so she is staying home with the girls. I unfortunately have to work, so they are picking me up for lunch today. On Wednesday we are making our second trip to Oklahoma with the girls. We are going to try to drive in the afternoon instead of waiting until after the girls 8pm feeding. It may be a nightmare... or they could sleep, which will mean they will be up all night. We will be having Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma Elaine's house. Grandma and Grandpa Potter are coming too! Should be a great weekend.

The beginning......
Wes and I were just talking the other day that November 19th will be the anniversary of the conception of the girls. It’s the day that we did the egg retrieval for our IVF. My birthday will be the anniversary of the girls being implanted. When we went in for implant, they showed us a picture of two embryos and the doctor said he was implanting two. The nurse looked at the picture and said it looks like twins. She was right. December 3rd we found out I was pregnant and then a few weeks later we found out it was two! We were so excited and scared. Then seven months after that the girls were born and life got really complicated!
