Bed"rest"

It's weird to think that the last time Matt posted before today, I wasn't even pregnant yet! Wow. Rollercoaster doesn't even begin to say what all has gone on since then! I'll give what I'd call the "Matt Version" (meaning: less is more):

End of Aug -- started school, got pregnant
Early Sept -- put our condo on the real estate market
Mid Sept -- found out we were expecting twins!
Immediately -- lowered the price on our condo
Early Jan -- found out we are expecting a girl and a boy
Always -- Steph's belly grows exponentially
Always -- we do what we can to help Steph's family get the "new" house ready
Late March -- we move in to the "new" house (Steph is 32 wks pregnant)
Thurs. April 10 -- Steph is admitted to hospital due to low amniotic fluid, sent home next day and is put on modified bedrest
Mon. April 14 -- Steph is admitted to hospital due to irregular, but strong contractions -- it is too early for the babies to be born at their most healthy, so Steph is sent home on a drug to keep the contractions away.
Now -- the contraction drug is finished and the babies are sitting tight for the time being

Revamping the Blog

Well, this thing has sat idle for most of a year. It's time to put some new life into it...literally.

The twins are coming soon! And even though "Matt and Steph Plus Four" doesn't have any kind of a ring to it, we know there might be some people who might get a little perverse enjoyment out of seeing us stumble over ourselves while we frantically try to keep our heads above water raising two dramatic daughters as well as newborn twins. After all, no matter how bad that wreck on the highway, some people just can't look away.

So we'll be re-imagining this blog as a "Life with twins" look-in - and we'll try to update more than every 8 months now.

And when will this insanity begin? Well, no more than 2 weeks from now, but hopefully sooner. Check back for updates on that as well.

Of course, for a wonderful look back to a simpler time, feel free to dig back through the archive for the 2007 Road Trip posts. How easy things were back then...

More soon,
Matt
