Finally a new doc...

So last Friday, I finally found myself a new baby doc. Being new to the area and not knowing what hospital or doctors are any good it's hard to find one because you're just guessing. But, I'm happy to report that we finally did.

This doc actually took the time to speak with me...for about 30 minutes to be exact. He is from Indiana and went to med. school at IU (I guess I can't hold this against him - at least it wasn't Ohio State like my first doc) and he did residency at Clarian/Methodist Hospital in Indy where Madi and Zach spent their first ten days in the NICU. (He went to North Central High School and said the only other high school that existed basically was Fisher's.) Anyway, he is very nice and very good. I think he was happy to find someone that he could talk to about IN versus all the OH people he sees everyday.

So about "lil baby mood" - we checked the heart rate and it was 150. He mentioned a few tests we may want to consider, took the time to understand my history with the first pregnancy / twins and said we were in great health and sent us on our way.

We had several tests done this week...extensive blood tests (which I hate) and a high level ultrasound with many new "baby" pics that I'll hopefully post and share more about before we leave for vacation (we leave this Saturday). Stay tuned!!

INTRODUCING.....


Congratulations - Today is MY day!
I am off to great places!
I am off and away!
I have brains in my head.
No feet in my shoes.
But, I am the person that can steer myself any direction I choose!

Oh! The places I can go!

I'll be on my way up, I will be seeing great sights!
I'll join my big sister and my big brother who soar to high heights.



I will get mixed up, of course, as you already know.
I'll get mixed up with many strange birds as I grow.
So I'll be sure when I can step, to step with care and great tact.
And remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act!
I must never forget to be dexterous and deft.
And never mix up my right foot with my left!


And yes, I will succeed…..110 and 3/4's percent guaranteed!

So……be my name Buxbaum or Bixby or Bray
Or Mordecai Ali Van Allen O'Shea,
I'm already off to Great Places!


Today is MY day!


My mountain is waiting come October they say.
So…I'll get on my way!

Introducing.....at two inches and 11.5 weeks…..

Your new grandchild, niece, nephew, cousin or friend…..



'Lil Baby Mood!!!!!
