i really cant get over how munch fun the girls are. they took their first steps a few weeks ago; their preferred mode of transportation is still the happy knee bounce but each day they are walking more. their personalities are so different, but i have learned the not to try to describe them. in the past i have said 'oh tamsin will be the sensitive sweet one' and while that is partially true she isnt as smoochy smoochy as i thought she would be. so i guess ill just say they are both happy and really funny but very different from each other.
we have started letting them do the stairs when its time to go up for a nap or bed.
we had their 1 year appointment and it went well. the doctor was impressed with how much language they have. they are really tall and healthy.
i am trying to enjoy these last few weeks of me and the two ladies before shelby gets here but it is getting more difficult as i am tired and sore sooner in the day. when we were at the pediatrician last week scheduling their 15 month appointment it hit me that i will have to bring 3 kids to the doctors. and it wasnt until that realization that other ones started hitting me. ill have to feed a newborn and tamsin and elyse. seriously, that whole process never hit me, ill have to cut up nectarines or a cheese sandwich feed them and possibly comfort or feed shelby at the same time. im grateful that elyse and tamsin play so well together, i know they will be able to entertain each other.
we are excited for shelby and we will be back at tobey hospital in wareham to have her. originally we were going to deliver at south shore but we were not happy with resistance we got from the doctors and 'hospital policy' when it came to our birth plan. rather than fighting them or going through that hassle we just decided (at 30 weeks) to go back to doctors and a hospital who will do the things we want with out us asking or fighting for it.
