A Restfull Night Before the Twins


Cox Hospital provides one of the best patient services I have ever heard of within a health care system..... a hotel within the hospital. Now I know what you are thinking, what kind of a hotel could be in in a hospital??? Let me tell you, this place was very nice, not like a hospital room but actually like a hotel room. Kristy had no idea what I had up my sleeve when I asked for her parents to bring her to the hospital. The fact of the matter was that I could foresee that she would be under allot of stress following the arrival of our twins and this would be the last night that she could get some rest. So her parents brought her to the hospital and I led them up into the hotel.

Before they arrived I decorated the room in pink and blue to commemorate the big occasion.

So we let Kristy get some rest early on in the evening and her Dad and I went to the local auto auction. After the auction I, and I alone, returned to the room where I ensured that Kristy got a well deserved night of rest. After all the Twins were scheduled to arrive the next day at Noon.

Kristy was certainly in high spirits as we slipped into bed for our last night as parents of 2. The next day our joy would be fulfilled with twice as many.....

Transition Item

According to certain theories of psychology a transition item serves to assist an individual with a dramatic life change. The item serves as a means to assist in coping with the many adjustments that will be a result of the life change. In terms of our situation, while Mommy and Daddy are busy with the twins, Molly and Neleha will be busy with their transition item. At least that is the plan......

Thanks to our local Sam's Club we were able to purchase this very unique cabin style playhouse. Having Dale, Tove and Gary here to help me put it together was most welcomed. Relatively, it went together pretty quick, especially the roof, of course it had begun to rain and Gary, Tove and myself didn't feel like taking a warm Missouri shower if you know what I mean. The kids loved it and we got it just days prior to Kristy's scheduled delivery, perfect timing for a transition item.
