Lucky Ducks, Mal and Babies

I have missed our Monday Game Day.  I couldn't go the last two weeks and I was happy that I could make it today.  We played Five Crowns and Farkle.  We had two different Lucky Ducks.  Lorrilee won Five Crowns and Laura won at Farkle.  The time goes by so fast and it is so fun visiting with everyone.

I met Mallory for lunch afterwards.  I needed to give her the gift for Amanda. (marrying Lantzen)  We went to Hug Hes so I would be close to the Hospital.  I always enjoy visiting with Mal.  She always says things I need to hear.  Today we shared our feelings about having the grands.  We feel the same way about a lot of things.  She told me a lot about a friend of hers and while she talked I kept wondering what she would say about me if she were talking to another friend.  She wasn't saying anything bad because Mal just isn't the type to do so but it got me wondering.  I love Mallory so much and decided that I need to make time to see her more.  She can get away from work and all I have to do is say when.  I'm going to make it a point to go to Ogden more often even if it is just to see Mal.

I went to visit the twins after.  As I was looking for a parking place I saw Lynette who was just walking towards the Hospital.  It was fun being there sharing our grands with each other.  I admire Julie at how good she is with the twins now.  She's ready to take them home and I really think they will be coming home soon.

When I got home I finally had a little time to work on my blog.  I really hope that all the time and effort it takes me will be worth it to someone one day.  Hopefully I will get some time soon to put my posts in the book I am making.

I really want a day or week to work on Jared's book as well. The way my life is going I won't have it done by August.  I wanted to have it done for the five year anniversary.  Oh well....I can only do so much and that is not a top priority right now. (even though I want it to be)

Allergies

I was happy that I was able to help Julie today. Since she had a C-Section she isn't able to lift Jordyn and Jordy had a Dr. appointment today.  I got to take them and lift and carry Jordyn when needed.  Jordyn gets a bad cough about every other week and so Julie made her an appointment to meet with an allergy specialist.  Heck, they reached their deductible with the twins and so the timing is good.  Jordy was good when the nurse put dots all over her back.  She just sat on Julie's lap and colored on a tongue depressor.  When the nurse had to prick each of the dots after dropping different liquids on them Jordyn realized about half way through that she didn't like it.  She laid down on Julie without any thrashing around or screaming while the rest were pricked.  Then when it was done she quite crying and continued coloring.  She's such a cutie.  She is allergic to Burch, Cottonwood and a weed.  I think the Dr. prescribed something for her and we were done.  Julie made an appointment for Kamryn to be checked out as well!

I didn't mention that the appointment was for 9:00 and we were the only ones there and we didn't see the doctors face until 9:45 which is when Julie was hoping to be able to pump.  Even though we only had to wait 10 minutes to see if there was a reaction we were in the office until about 10:30.  (poor Julie)

Jordy and I went to the cafeteria to get a treat while Julie went up to pump and see the babies.  She came down and told me that she still hadn't pumped.  There were too many people in the room with the twins while she ran up.  Julie likes talking about the twins progress and so it was good they were there so she could.   By the time she came down to find us she was very uncomfortable.  I hurried to get her home.
