Well i have absolutely nothing to blog about especially since a part of my world has been shattered. Why is it you ask? Well after a very normal, very common mishap in my pregnancy last Sunday night I will be refraining from the highly anticipated family vacay next week. I have shed my tears, stayed up late at night thinking, role played, talked about it, mulled it over 1000 times, asked every pregnant person, rationalized, justified, fought, ticked my Dr. off just to be reminded that it's not worth the risk in going. (see video below, Alexis a few days old weighing 2lbs.) The bath is just a small tupperware box. She is only barely over a foot long!
Oh I am so happy ALexis survived that horrific ordeal!!! That was the first time i held her at 6 days old.
But...Can I have pity right now? I don't live by my whole family and this would be the 3rd annual beach trip in North Carolina. It is a blast and i have looked forward to this trip since last year when i drove out of the beach house driveway crying. THe first two hours upon leaving I couldn't even talk last year, because I just wish SOOOOOOOO bad we all live next door to each other. Some family's could care less and they get this wish, and that is my dream and it will probably never happen!! I am SOOO blessed and happy that we live right near my parents.
Anyways, the babes are doing great and everything looks normal, but if something were to happen on this trip I would be so mad at myself. So like mom says this is just one season of vacations we will miss and it is no big deal. Jen told me that we will skype and i can be a part of certain things via computer. Jason has been very sympathetic and keeps telling me to fly my sista's out for a weekend sometime soon. He has been very nice to me. We also had to cancel the part of the trip to drive to Ohio to visit his dad.
Anyway, if anyone wants to do something fun these next two weeks to take my mind of my depression then call me and let's go do something fun!!!!

finally, finally a new post! however, sorry it had to be a sad one. i would love to go to the pool with you and have a pretend beach trip.....
poor little alexis , i couldn't even watch the whole thing. so sad, so little and helpless. and to think 3 years later she would be insisting upon wearing mis-matched barbie shoes to church...
Jek, If it makes you feel any better, I had a similar situation. All the girls in my family (i.e. sisters, in laws, aunts...) took my Mom to New York for her seventieth birthday. It was a total surprise to her. And I had never been....still haven't. Needless to say, I was the only girl who couldn't go because I had just come home from the hospital with the twins. I was so sad, but I had priorities. Som I do know what you are feeling like. Sorry you have to miss out! Just don't forget....this is just the beginning of sacrificing for twins. It never ends. Yay!! Love ya!!
By the way, how come nurses are always so dang rough with babies. It makes me crazy.
Hey Jek, Jennifer told me about you missing the beach vacation. In the long run you will be happy that you stayed home safe and protected by doctors that you know and trust. I had to do the very same thing for my Grandmother's 90th birthday bash. It was painful to stay home, but a good decision in the end. Your babies need you not to fly across the country and try to rest in a house full of 50 people.... Maybe you can take a quick weekend trip to Cali for a nice beach trip instead. Hopefully that is allowed. I am thinking of you! Take care!!!
That really is bad news! The sacrifices we make for these little people...good thing they're always so dang cute! Hang in there!
I'm still super bummed but i know you made the right decision. I'll for sure keep skype going on my laptop. You'll have 24 hour crazy miller online access. Let's just hope that the camara will be able to catch Jill's psychotic episode this trip. Haha. Just playin jillian. Love ya Jekka.
You know how I feel. I am so freaking bummed you won't be there, but really it is probably for the best. Do something really fun while you are home. Have jason take you to see O, if you haven't already seen it. Its so good. Then just think me and Mitch will be in Vegas in two weeks from Wednesday so we will do something fun then. Love ya and will miss ya.
Jek, I'm holding out for a miracle. Like, you'll get a dream and you'll be told by an angel that you should come on the trip and that everything will be perfectly fine. Let me know when it happens, oh yeah, and I'll pray that Jason gets the same dream.
that's pretty crappy jessica. so sorry that the babes are cramping your style... but then, sacrifice is the name of the game... at least you don't LOOK like you are carrying twins!!
I watched the video of her being bathed, how PRECIOUS!!! I LOVE her!!!
What more can I say...I'm just bitter. : )
You know it will not be the same without you. At least maybe this year I can beat EVERYONE but Kelley in the race!
Let's all see who is the better off this year. One who feels fine and wishes she was there (Jek) or Jayne who will be hanging her head over the toilet, and wishing she wasn't there.
Mom
You scared me to death! I was reading too fast and thought something had already happened to the twins. As soon as my heart settled down enough to read I figured out why you were really crying. Whoosh! I am still shaking! But I do have to say that it is SO sad you aren't going but good for you for throwing a fit when a fit is needed.
good point mom!
I can't believe I hadn't read this blog before coming over tonight...I must be super spiritual...
Good chatting with you on your pretty couch. Let's lunch.
That was so dang darling. We are going to miss you so much and it will not be the same without you. We are always praying and hoping that everything will go well. I could watch that video over and over I just love it. She is so cute. Give her a big kiss from us.
jek, i'm feeling for you...! I am sure these babies will be worth it, if I wasn't so ready to have a baby I'd say, let's go to the spa for a few days, but instead just know I'm thinking about you. hang in there and practice your digital scrapbooking... :)
Oh my gosh, that video of Alexis getting a bath is without a doubt the cutest thing i have seen!
Good choice you made for staying home to protect your little ones. I recently had a miscarriage after 6 years of not being able to get pregnant, so missing a vacation is well worth those precious babies. Plus using Skype will be just like being there.
How about you come over sometime in the next two weeks... you can watch what it's like with little twin babies and all the fun (and work!) you're going to have with these little ones! Give me a call (or I'll call you...when/if I have a minute).
And that totally stinks about your trip. I have that kind of family and it would've been hard to not go to a reunion. So sorry.
