It’s LOL~
“Lina, you’re going to be the proud parent of a baby boy, and just look- isn’t he just so damn cute! Based on our remote test results, your beautiful baby boy will weigh about 9 lbs, 9 oz and have blonde hair and hazel eyes. Truly a Wonder To Behold!
… and the dad is … Holy &#%@! You seduced the neighbor’s kid, you cradle-robbing hussy! I hope for your sake he’s over 18. We sure hope he resembles your husband. . . “

I realized I mentioned this earlier without explaining it, oops.
Elaine has been diagnosed with congenital muscular torticollis and is into week two of physical therapy. Poor thing, though she apparently has a typical case that and it should clear up with PT in a couple months at most. I think it bothers me more than it bothers her for the most part. Now if we can get her to loosen up her shoulders too.
What is it? Basically it’s a crooked neck. There’s a tightening and/or shortening of muscles on one side of the neck. When tortocollis presents at birth it’s generally because there was a lack of room to grow in the womb. It usually happens with very large babies, very small mothers, or multiple pregnancies. Even with that it only effects less than 2% of all newborns. Figures my kid would get it. She takes after mom already with weird medical things going on.
Here’s a picture taken last week where you can see how she’s tilted. Taco-neck is the nickname given to the condition by a friend of a friend who’s kid had it.

Gourry’s dad & mom came over and brought gifts this weekend. First we got a “grandpa cam” which is the camera for the 360. Grandpa needs his baby fix so now we can video phone over xbox live~
He also made ourfits and blankets with their nick names on them. They are SO cute!!!
Here’s the girls on Gourry’s first Father’s day at 3 weeks and 2 days old.

The twins due date, and they are already 15 days old!
I’m loving my magic scale still but it’s got to be close to the end as my extra water weight is pretty much gone. From the time of being admitted at the hospital to now (assuming the hospital scale and mine are identical) I’ve lost 55 pounds!!  I’m officially lighter than when I got pregnant o/ (~30 was left in the delivery room between kids and kid related stuff, and another ~20 was water weight, I’m just thinner since I lost so much in the first half of the pregnancy) I’ll give myself another week to heal and try to manage some kind of routine (which is near impossible with newborns) then I’ll work on easing into what exercises I can do (and can fit into the day) while being home with the kids.
I haven’t vomited once since the kids were born!
I’ve had 3 Tums since the kids were born and those were in the hospital.
I’m finally moving enough that I shaved my legs for the first time in weeks!!
My feet are almost small enough to wear my shoes. At the least walking no longer hurts and I can wiggle my toes without difficulty \o/
My nipple soreness is beginning to go away enough pumping and attempting to nurse no longer makes me cry.
In short, life is better each day so far ^_^

I tried to embed this but it doesn’t seem to work. Check out this link when you get a chance. Kyrarj is a woman in my WoW co-op, G2. She put a bunch of pictures together and made a slide show about the arrival of our girls. English isn’t her first language, but you understand what she’s saying enough you might get weepy. I totally did. Â
