Now What?

Now what?...Now that my secret is out...what do I blog about? Let's see...hmmm...I'm thinking! I could tell you that on Friday Jan. 30, Taylor was put on an antibiotic for Strep Throat and then on Friday Feb. 6, she broke out in a horrible rash...me thinking is was from the antibiotic and dismissed all other possibilities. Sunday, she finishes the antibiotic...still with a rash that has now doubled. Monday Feb. 9, I keep her home from school because of the mysterious rash and put a call into the Dr...during the wait for the call back I remember that she went in her friends hot tub Thursday...Oh Crap...she's allergic...she has Hot Tub Folliculitis...she had it about 3 years ago and hasn't been in a hot tub since...poor kid!
Also on Monday Feb. 9, we take Rhett to the orthodontist for a consult...we are thinking that he definitely needs braces and it will probably set us back about $1500...we were wrong. Not only does he need braces on the top but the bottom as well AND a new appliance that will correct his tongue thrust...his tongue thrust is so severe that it not only has moved his top teeth but the bottom as well AND the poor kid can't even close his mouth without using some chin muscle...total cost for Phase I (he will have 2 phases)...$2330! ARGHHH!!! What the crap?
Now it's Wednesday Feb. 11, and we now have Taylor on another antibiotic now for the Hot Tub Folliculitis because it COULD turn into staph (it has tripled)...holy moly...AND today also, Rhett had a visit to the foot Dr. for an ingrown toenail that he had to have removed...CRAZY...and he is now on an antibiotic too...
You would think that by now not only would I own some serious stock in Tanner Clinic...I would at least have reserved parking...right?
Now for some photos...

This is Jenner doing her best impression of her Dad...And today, she said (with prompting...) "Maaa...I poopy!"
This here is my new best friend and I normally don't get sick while impregnated...

Also, I have this sneeking suspicion that there is more that one little bean in the oven...Call me crazy but I can't shake the feeling...and like I said above...I never get sick while pregnant and this time I am sick...and my uterus is already to my belly button...and I have that feeling...we'll see...ultrasound on Tues...

Oh Amy, there could be a book written about your family. I can't believe all the "great luck" you guys have. I am so sorry. I hope things get better, maybe one day you will go back and read your blog and laugh... maybe one day. :)

About the the two buns in the oven, keep us all updated. Mother knows best.

I've always thought it would be so neat to have twins. I look forward to hearing your news on Tues. And I can't believe how much you guys go through. How sad. I guess it gives you something to blog about, eh?!

Twins? Really? I was soooo soooo sick with 2 babies. I hated being pregnant. It was REALLY hard on me. So for that reason, I LOVED having twins (cause I got 2 for 1). Plus, they came first, so I had no other kids. Having them at the end would be good because your other kids could help you and you already know what your doing, but it would be hard too because you would have 2 babies plus your other kids. Keep me posted about this one! Sorry about your other troubles. I DREAD taking my kids to the orthodontist. I know it is going to be bad!

Hi Amy! Remember me? (I used to be Jessica Robison) I found your blog through Ashley's (we used to be next door neighbors). Congrats on the pregnancy! I've enjoyed reading about your family. I'm excited to find out if you are having 2 babies! Check out my blog if you get a chance.
