Most Demanding Job in the World

Being a parent is one of the most demanding jobs in the world.  Darlene and I were talking about this last night. It is truly astounding.  Does anyone really ever think about it before they do it?  I mean sure, have a baby.  Sounds simple right?  It is just amazing that people can create life, but they are not done at that point.  That is really only the beginning.  That little baby turns into a person, a person like you and I.  It just blows my mind when I think about it.  You are responsible for caring, loving, teaching, etc.  Sharing everything that you know and then some.  It is almost daunting when you think about it.  Yet people have been doing it for years!

Maybe I sound like I am talking crazy, but just sit down and think about it.

Something for you to "Think on Thursday" about.

First of all thank you to everyone that prayed for us last week while Darlene had her surgery.  Everything went great.  Darlene is doing well.  Still a little sore sometimes, but hopefully on the fast track of recovering!  Last time it was arthroscopic procedure.  This time it was actually an incision.  So there is more healing time needed now. The hardest thing now is Darlene being around the kids when she can't pick them up for a few weeks yet.  It is killing her that she can't pick up an hold her babies.  She does as much as she can, bathing, changing, feeding.  So she is at least getting some good time with them.  But it isn't the same.  She plans on being able to persuade the Dr. when she goes in for her check up to ease up on the lifting restrictions.  Nothing over 10lbs currently.  Violet is at 15lbs and Ryan at 18lbs!  They get so big, so fast.

Coming soon.....

The twins are coming soon!  As of right now Ju ly 15th is going to be their birthday.  We have scheduled the C-section.  Darlene is still really hoping that they will get head down and that she can experience labor.  She is a little bummed about the idea of a "scheduled" delivery.  I think it is just that part of us that wants to be able to tell out kids and others the story.  (So we were sitting around watching tv or at 3am I woke up and my water had broke so I told Jason to get ready and he stubbed his toe.... something like that I assume.)  I had read that sometimes when you play babies music in the womb is makes them move around and they end up with their head down.  So we have making play lists and Darlene has been laying down with headphones on her belly.  The twins tend to move quite a bit!  The other night one of them punched or kicked so hard the remote flew away!  It was amazing!  The twins actually have moved a li...
