3 Weeks & 1 Day

So, the trip ended up being good for the most part. It started out bad though...

We got on the freeway and not three exits later, the stupid suburban over-heats! So, we pull over, realize what was wrong, so we were going to let it cool down, go back to the hospital and switch it out with TJ's truck to get back on the road. (By the way, Shawnah was not excited about leaving, this was a huge flag to her.) We turned it on accessories to role the windows down and play the radio while we wait. About five minutes later, all looks good, so we shut the hood to go back. We turned the key and the battery went dead. Nothing. (FLAG #2) So, we had to call Shawnah's Dad to come and bring us a vehicle and we called the tow company to come and take the car away and never bring it back!!! :)

Then about twenty minutes later, after Shawnah begged and pleaded for us not to go, we are driving along and a larger truck pulling a flatbed trailer with two tractors on it started coming into our lane. We are not sure if he didn't look or what, but if TJ wasn't paying attention, the guy would have hit us and probably made us role the truck (Shawnah's Dad's Truck). It was really scary. (FLAG #3)

Once we got down to T or C, we had a great time. It was nice to relax and get away, but still all we thought about was our girls. Was really great to see the family and the party ended up being great. We even got to see a couple of friends at the American Legion! (Hi guys) Was a good trip after all the flags!

We're back now and the girls did good while we were gone. They had more spells than normal, which Shawnah blames on the fact that they knew we weren't there! Kandis ended up staying on the same feeding schedule of 4 ml every 2 hrs, but Kenedi went up to 5 ml every 2 hrs. They also got measured and weighed last night... Kandis is 1 lb 11 oz & 12 3/4 inches... Kenedi is 1 lb 13 oz & 13 1/3 inches. This means that each have grown 3/4 inch since birth. Very exciting!
