Well, Brynn is medically considered viable now. I've considered her a "real baby" for about 6 months now, but viability as far as being able to live outside the womb starts today.
This is the fourth time I have been 24 weeks pregnant. I had the twins at 24w 0d.... R2 at 24w 1d... so as of Sunday, Brynn and I will be in territory that only Toby has reached.
And I'm doing well. Really good. My heart hurts today. For all of my babies and the struggle. And wishing it was different. That R2 was a "normal" 7 year old... that I had toddler twins in here wreaking havoc with Toby... the alternate universe... the other reality of what could have been.
But I only let myself think about it for a minute.
Because I am grateful for what I have. I am so grateful for my sweet sensitive special boy. And my baby... my crazy funny busy baby. And Brynn... the hope of what she will be.
Sorry to bum anybody out, but hey! this is my blog and I'll think if I want to! =)

I got a great bargain the other day when I bought a forklift for half-price. It's amazing what you can pick up these days.
"From safety pins to safety under pants.. keep safety in all your days"

Keith gets SO EXCITED when I pull out his Fisher Price piano! He 'talks' & waves his arms & smiles huge!
I was looking at your old posts & saw that Keith was an idea you had for Toby-to-be. : ) At least we decided on it after you had already chosen Toby's name. : D
We actually didn't even think of the name Keith for our boy until a couple weeks before he was born.. and decided on it when he was a couple hours after birth.
Tell Mozart I'm on my way home.
Saftey... it's not just for breakfast anymore!
Safety...think about it! (that one might actually work)

Marnin All......is there anything sweeter in the world besides cuddling with babies?
I don't think so....
Josh- more on car seat safety

Happy Saturday.........
Jessica.........can you tell that this pregnancy is differnt than the rest.?
I have always heard that when you are pregnant with a girl you have a higher belly, and you get plump all over .....and crave differnet things than with the boys.
Jade is eating some applesauce bread in the highchair and Caleb is eating like a little gentleman at the coffee table.
We finally finished off the best bread in Texas......things last a loooong time around here with just me.
Happy Saturday and Happy new territory.......
Brynn will even pass up Tobias with 32 plus.......
I can feel it.......
God is so awesome.
This is REALLY going to be a great year.....
Happy New Year Katey...
Saw your mom last week......It had been a long time.....
Have a great day girl!
What?
Lame.
Sad day, folks...
Inventor of Instant Noodles Dies at Age 96 in Japan

E-MAIL STORY
PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
AP
Momofuku Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles.
TOKYO — Momofuku Ando, the Japanese inventor of instant noodles — a dish that has sustained American college students for decades — has died. He was 96.
Nissin Food Products Co., the company Ando founded, said on its Web site that he died Friday after suffering a heart attack.
Born in Taiwan, Ando founded his company in 1948 from a humble family operation. Faced with food shortages in post-World War II Japan, Ando thought a quality, convenient noodle product would help feed the masses.
In 1958, his "Chicken Ramen" — the first instant noodle — was introduced after many trials. Following its success, the company added other products, such as the "Cup Noodle" in 1971.
"The Momofuku Ando Instant Ramen Museum" opened in 1999 in Ikeda City in western Japan commemorating his inventions.
Ando gave a speech at the company's New Year ceremony and enjoyed Chicken Ramen for lunch with Nissin employees on Thursday before falling ill, Japan's largest daily Yomiuri reported.
This news calls for a national day of mourning.
I think you should go with......
#7....Safety...think about it.
It is already freezing outside.
I am chilled to the bone.....
How will we ever make it through this cold Texas Winter.?
When did you guys give Sing Sing to us???
Did you know that the gift was prophetic?
Did you know that Thailand was once SIAM?
and then, the papa Siamese came to call one month ago...
Weird. We've never had Siamese cats around here...
But, now...
they reside...
go figger
i missed thee, kat
my computer has been outta my hands for several hours.... while the rest of the family worked on recording songs...
and playing loud music for HOURS today... hours and hours of loud drumming and such...
but, i'm glad to have 'em around...
hmmm..
we always liked the Siamese Song on Lady and teh Tramp also...
...and also some for me...
sing sing is a female...
and no, she doesn't voice her opinion vocally - but she is very affectionate...
now, papa Siam Sam IS vocal... especially in the mornings... he cries loudly for us to come out and feed him... but Sing Sing is the boss... she won't let him near me or the food bowl(s).
Gotta get some zzz's after processing a few more loads of laundyr....
speaking of ramen noodles...
someone introduced my kids to them at an early age... and i would allow them to eat them for snacks - but most-times, i would try to add something to them... such as some bits of chicken and veggies...
ramen noodles alone are mostly fat and then chemicals, then flour... not a good meal... just a snack....
one of our favorite meals when we've gone to the mountians and stayed in a cabin... is to boil a big pot of water, add ramen noodles and seasonings, frozen vegetables and chicken...
ok
laundry is about done...
had a bunch of kids drop by to pick up J at 10:45 on their way to "hang out" at the Schluters...
what an interesting place to live...with all these amazing people hanging around...

Good Morning.......happy Sunday!
Now that I have seen how difficult it is to change pics on image shack...I will forever be R2 and Madi......
Brittany is one of those young geeks and her and I could not even figure it out.
I even found Jess's old instructions and that didn't do it.
When you get to the place that has 5 or 6 lines of choices for you to copy and paste....which one is it .?
We tried everyone of them.
Even the one that says it is for a link.
none of them would make a pic for BRITT.
Happy Worshipping.....May we all be closer to HIM...today than we were yesterday.
Happy Birthday again and again...
