Stealin' a minute

I really haven't had a minute to spare to be on this blog or hardly even to check e-mail or FB. The girls are keeping me busy and my brother and his "fam" are in town.

The girls are great. Graceanne can nearly sit up without support. She looks like she is about to take off and crawl when you put her on her tummy. Her gums are bulging (or at least I think they are). We might have teeth before too long.

Lily is still Lily and has ever more witty things to say. She is LOVE, LOVE, LOVIN' having her cousins in town. Although it is busy, I really am enjoying her play with Chris and Kim's kids. My parents have been the official photographers for me, so you'll just have to wait on pics.

Steve has one more week working at the hospital in South Boston before he moves on to C-ville. He will be home tonight - though not until after Lily is in bed. In another week, we will be through 7 of 11 clinical rotations! Please be in pray that God will make it VERY clear where we are to be. We don't really have any idea where we are going to be and I think Steve is getting a little nervous.

Me - well - I've been better to be honest. I started back on some meds to help manage the stress and anxiety. I don't hide it, because I know it is very real and hopefully, what I say and experience will encourage someone else. I have been on it now for a week and have had only one major side effect, but it is a DOOZY! Insomnia is just not fun when you have a 4 yr old and a 5 mth old. Please keep me in your prayers. It should start easing up in the next week, but it is a VICIOUS cycle. Lack of sleep breeds anxiety and anxiety breeds lack of sleep!
