Thanks for the update. I know I'm not the only one who misses your words! You always say so eloquently, what I remember feeling back some 23 years ago. It brings a smile to my face & a tear to my eye at times. My baby just graduated Sat from your alma mater. It was a great weekend. So much to pack & put in storage until she gets an apt. So many friends & family. I didn't cry 4 years ago when we moved her to Waco, but now? Wow. She heads another hour south to Austin & we head 7 hours back to Amarillo. I so want to help her unpack when she finds an apt this summer. She is staying with friends for the 1st couple of months.
Loved your pics. You & your sister's look like triplets! I know your parents are so proud. Love your mom's tweets. Continue to heal & bond with that sweet Annie.

Glad things are OK (and that none of you came down with Swine flu as you pondered in your previous post). If you ever get one of those "I just had a baby..." signs, let me know. I'm pregnant and am already thinking logistics of having to go out into the world after he or she is born.

I began drivng so cautiously when I was pregnant and wanted a "Hey! Pregnant lady on board!"
I hated when trucks and motorcycles drove by the house and when the dog barked during nap times, shhhhhh!!!!
It's a whole sweet new world now.

She is BEAUTIFUL and you should soak up and enjoy every single moment with HER. Love you all!!

Although I have no kids of my own, I have a niece who is almost 5 and one who is almost 1. So I can still appreciate your feelings towards her. I see them almost every day for a few hours, and I feel like I could just sit with them all day long and never get tired of holding them.

Of course, like I said, it's only a few hours every day, so I have them in moderation... but I have never once wished they were somewhere else.

sounds like all is how it should be in your world ...

I totally understand what you mean about wanting to wear a sign that says "I just had a baby!" when you go out. Just remember, though, hard as it may be, that your body has done an amazing thing and you are beautiful (and so is Anniston)!

I just read part of it, but then I realized "I gotta leave for church." But I can't wait to finish that. And by the way, I don't think I've ever seen a picture of you next to your sisters, but it's kinda creepy. It looks kinda like there's three Jennys... kinda reminds me of the movie Multiplicity.

2009-05-17T08:33:36.949-05:00

I'm excited for you guys. My wife's just a few weeks away from having the triplets, and I can't wait to see how we handle it. Marybeth already wants to get a new car because her SUV is "too bumpy" for the babies...

My hubby drove 25 the whole way home with our first daughter, with his hand placed right over the horn. I have NEVER seen him drive that way! :)

Yay! I was so happy to see an update from you! Anniston is so beautiful, and she is blessed to have you two as parents.
Something about becoming a Mommy seems to open our eyes to the crazy, desperate world around us. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that is feeling like perhaps we need to be reaching out and showing strangers more love.
I also know what you mean about blogging in your head, lol... I journal in my laptop, and there are many nights where I am trying to memorize what I'm thinking because I'm too tired from being Mommy to a 21 month old to get up and write. :)
