That reminds me of when the Monkey was 2 and got the rotovirus. I was casually lugging a puking toddler around the house, catching vomit in a plastic bowl every so often. The Pumpkin wouldn't stay in the same room with us, she was so horrified by the idea of vomit.

Of course, the Monkey couldn't keep anything down and we ended up in the hospital. Fun times in the ER! Fun times on the pediatric floor! Fun times watching my stubborn child refuse to drink anything because she was afraid of vomiting!

Excellent - so happy to hear that her head is normal. After reading about the metopic craniothing it looked like Amaia was actually a bit old for this to be something new, since all of the diagnoses seem to be pretty early. Not that I was going to say anything until you knew, since it sucks to start convincing yourself that nothing needs to be fixed if in fact it DOES need to be fixed.

Anyway, yay!

Oh hell. I'm so sorry. I hope everything goes all right at the appointment, and that you have the best possible scenario.

I am in NO danger of clicking the links, because I am the sort of person who cannot have a filling replaced without 2 Valium. Smells, sounds, I need sedation.

I have to get a crown some time in the next year....more Valium. Lots more.

That's awful. And with my eldest (who is 16 and has not wet her pants in 13 years, you may be happy to hear) I just backed the hell off. At the age of 2 she was totally interested in bathroom activities and cool underpants until I explained what the whole procedure entailed. Then it was OH HELLS NO. Tantrums, kickings of the potty seat, hiding the potty in the closet, putting it in the garage...I figured nothing was worth this. It wasn't until she was 3 and we were registering her for pre-K (for the next year) that we pointed out that she couldn't go to school unless she was potty trained. She decided to be trained in 2 days, and she never looked back. My second trained herself at 2 1/2, but that's because she had her sister as a role model.

Potty-training at 2? Twins? You shouldn't feel like you've failed. I applaud you for trying in the first place.

This looks like a case of belated triplets. One just showed up a couple of years behind the other two.

By the way, my university's server blocks your site with the porn filter. Apparently you used the word 'sex.'

And to add to the weirdness, I have no problem with any of the other blogs I read, many of which use vulgar words including the word 'porn.'

I had the same maxi-pad problem, so I know how fun THAT is. Congratulations on the new daughter - she is beautiful and her name is lovely.

Mine crept out - the first came out after 24 hours of labor, the second took 25. You know, 2.5 years apart - I made them sound like twins.

Pretty much representative of their sleeping habits on the outside, though. Both are impossible to wake up.

Yes, cancer is bullshit. My dad died of Stage 4 colon cancer 8 years ago this month, and my mom died of Stage 3 inflammatory breast cancer (which is a real bastard - by the time it's diagnosed it's usually colonized the lymph nodes. My mother's was a true traveler, running straight to the bone and to the brain) in 2008. I think mr webbis has assumed that I am going to die of cancer someday (don't have it, by the way!), so that's pretty awesome.

I am a big supporter of giving money and time to cancer research, but the straw that broke the back of my tolerance was the pink cancer chip bags we saw in Kroger this weekend. Breast Cancer SunChips! Really?

I will buy your t-shirt. I will buy them for my daughters. And then they will be sent home from school....

You forgot:
1. Two comfy and secure cages fully furnished with toddler-friendly furniture and toys.
and/or
2. Fully-functioning Mary Poppins, to be installed in the twins' room until further notice.
