And the Little One Said "Roll Over"

My niece Dana said...

Do they ever roll off the bed??? Those are rich beds!!!!!!!

The answer is yes. Doesn't both the beds side by side look so cute and twin-like? But it didn't work for Hebs. His bed is the far one and is easy to roll off of. I had to either spend twenty bucks on a rail for him or move his bed against the wall.

In the end moving it was the most practical to me. So here ya go. I like it and it seems to open their room up.

Is toilet water drinkable?

This is the first question I got in our All Ears Comment Area.

See side bar

I am so giddy with excitement! Comment person, probably Kimball, you just made my day!
OK, on to answering the question. I found a little info on bacteria and toilets:
Bacteria such as E. Coli that reside inside the toilet pose a greater risk than bacteria found on the surface of a toilet seat. Bacteria from the inside of the toilet pose the greatest risk when the toilet is flushed as they are present in the water that sprays out, and can be easily inhaled. Bacteria is also found underneath the toilet seat.

Toilet water is drinkable. Hans and Hebs have proven this. Should you drink it, I'm going to say NO.
Now lets play a game, who can spot one of Hebs favorite "toys". I'll give you a hint, I always have to keep my bathroom door shut because of it and the thought that he likes getting it any chance he can should gross you out.

If you want to make a comment or have a question, and make my day too, I'm All Ears.

Twin's Twin Beds

Heber and Hannah have moved from cribs to twin beds. I like it because we can read to them easier before they go to be. I also like it because they wake up in the morning and go to playing and don't need me to get them out of bed. That means I get to sleep in almost everyday til seven or so.The white head boards actually where one bed that had I when I was single. The foot boards came from a bed I found on craigslist for $20 cold, hard cash. The rails on each are a mix-match combination of the two beds.

Ultrasound

I had an ultra sound, once again they're absolutely sure that there is just one baby. I am about 14 weeks along now and my official due date is January 14. My next ultrasound is in 6 weeks and that's when we are going to find out the gender if we haven't already (see pic below).The ultrasound made me more baby hungry. Watching the little one in me was truly amazing.

Painting

I finished a painting I did for a friend of the family, Andy. This is the second custom painting he has paid me to do for him. It is a painting of the Nauvoo Temple. It is a fairly good size painting, about 3 x 4 ft. It took a few months, I think I started it back in March. When I first started it all the lines where clean and formal, I changed it up a bit to give it a more whimsical feel. This isn't the greatest camera but it gives you the idea. I am happy with how it turned out.

I am going to take a break fro painting for a while. It requires a level of paint supplies that I can't constantly keep up with. My painting craving might be back in time to do a painting for a Christmas present. We'll see.

Little Sickling

Heber has been a sick little guy for the past three days. I think he might be getting better, but I have thought that a couple times though. The croup is no easy stroll in the park. If your kid is thinking about the croup I recommend the following:

• Humidifier by his crib with Vicks night and day during naps
• Vicks on stomach and feet
• Cough medicine
• Wet towel around neck
• Breathing machine with saline
• Electrolyte baby drink
• Dr. Appointment
• Prescriptions with hormones
• Sleepless nights
• Patience
• Lots of Prayers

I have to admit that he is so cute when he is sick. He is so cuddly. And his harsh sick voice and droopy eyes just tugs at my heart strings.

Update

I went to the doctor yesterday. She said that I didn't feel big enough to be having twins again. (sigh of relief) She said I am around 9 to 10 weeks along. I have my first ultrasound next Thursday and I will find out when my exact due date is, etc.

Now I need to go back to taking care of Heber, he has the croup. He was barking like a little baby seal all night last night. We, mostly Talmage, was up with him all last night. Dad of the year award.
