Good morning everyone!
Jen, I am very impressed by your running! I ran my first mile in 2005 but I've never managed more than 4 or managed to run a single mile in less than 10 minutes no matter how much I've trained. I've pretty much accepted that my body just is not built for running. At one point I started trying to work up to being able to do a 10k, but then I just ended up with plantar fasciitis.
Once I get back to exercising I plan to start with couch to 5k again and at least get back to doing 5k's!
Dagmar, I hope your DH at least takes care of his diabetes if he ends up being diagnosed with it!
Bill, yes, Boston has a long Irish-American history so I'm sure St. Patrick's day is a big deal! To me it generally means two things: 1) the day that it's okay to plant peas outside, and 2) McD's sells shamrock shakes, not that I've had one since college.
It's cold again here today. I'm ready for winter to be done. I've been ready for winter to be done for a long time! Babies are doing well. They are starting to get bored really easily so we're taking them places a lot more. They haven't gotten sick yet but I'm sure they will soon -- yesterday we took them to a different library play area and there was a train table, so we put them standing at the table and both girls immediately put the trains in their mouths.
Just babies being babies! They are sleeping very well now so I'm happy about that. Putting them on a clock schedule has been the best thing ever! Their days are now much more predictable and we have clear windows of time when it's pretty much guaranteed to be okay to have them out and about without running into mealtime or naptime.
I need to figure out how and when we're supposed to start transitioning them to less milk and more solids and what to do about their dairy issue. I think it might be okay to give them goat milk instead of cow milk if they still can't tolerate cow milk by the time we're ready to wean.
