To all you moms out there -- I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day! (Debra, hope your little ones weren't still sick with RSV...) We had a good day. Went to my sister-in-law's house and celebrated with them and both sets of grandparents. I got a few things from Eric, Lily and Eve -- including a necklace with the girls' birthstone, kind of as a place holder because Eric wanted to get something with two of their birthstone and two with our birthstone, to represent the whole family! They match so well too, with the girls being dark green (emerald) and ours being light green (peridot)!
And if that wasn't enough, Lily can now cruise along the couch. Slowly, but she does it. And Evie can stand up without holding on or being held for about 5 seconds. She needs balance work, but that is definitely progress. Lily doesn't do as well at that as she will fling herself forward to grab onto me when I try to let her go! They are so cute though. And their birthday is 9 days away!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Can't believe it.
One year ago May 11 I was admitted to the hospital with the girls and I still really can't believe it has been that long already. It feels like yesterday in some respects, though thankfully a majority of the NICU is a blur. Unfortunately, the parts that aren't a blur are the WORST parts of it...and I would love to forget those.
Anyway, I promised a blog post about fanfiction, so here is a little bit about that for those who are interested. I started writing fanfiction back in middle school, when I was an avid SeaQuest fan. Basically, it is where fans take the show, movie, book, comic book, etc, and use those established characters, settings, sometimes even plots, and change them to their liking. Some are short pieces, others, like one of my Lord of the Rings pieces, are 100,000 words or more. They are so much fun to read and write! Currently I have posted online stories from Star Wars, from when I was MUCH younger, and stories from Lord of the Rings, Dukes of Hazzard and Pirates of the Carribbean, from more recent years. Some of mine are unfinished and might never BE finished. Others are complete. I post at www.fanfiction.net under the screenname Gwenneth. My old fics are under the name rialin2032. I love that site because so many visit it and I love to get reviews from readers. I have written for a few other places, but that is the most accessible. I'm working ona few more Star Wars fics, in the Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith time period. I'm also working on a few Harry Potter stories. I'm a HUGE fan of Draco turning good stories, so those are predominantly what I write.
Anyone who wants more info can always comment or e-mail me! It's a great deal of fun and very relaxing for me.

Yay for Lily and Eve - just think this time next year you will be thinking how crawling was easy as you tear after them.
Love the new look - something must be in the air!
LOVE your blog layout!!!
And thanks for the well wishes. They were so sick yesterday, but today was better. It was nice to sit on the couch and hold them all day though. They NEVER sit still anymore.
That one year mark is WONDERFUL! It is a momentous occasion for moms of multiples!!!!
Wow...one year ago...my one year of going inpatient is this week as well....and CRUISING?? Go girls!! I've always thought of walking as easier than crawling...but I haven't had twins before, so...now I have no idea...have fun!!
BIG GIRLS! I keep thinking that soon (well months from now that is) I will be thinking back to the days of my inpatient stay as well.
Exciting about the fanfiction! Interesting twist of Draco turning good- he's such a slimy character that I might have to pop over when you get it posted and see how it turns out! *wink
Happy Belated Mom's Day!
My twins walked right about 1 year - how fun! I hope you are having a good week Kate - nice to see you - Kellan
