Twice Blessed Life

Ya know, it’s just come to my attention that an inordinate amount of my posts on this blog in some way or other reference my daughters’ eliminatory processes…in other words, poo.

Baby poo has in fact taken over our lives.  I plan their diet according to their quality of poo, and even sometimes tweak it (the diet, not the poo) to arrange for a slowdown when we go on a car trip.

By this time, I can pretty much create a made-to-order poo, depending, of course, on whether the girls will eat the requisite foodstuffs necessary for proper elimination.  Anyway, I could go on and on like this for days. 

At least my husband and I no longer do a victory dance when the babies succeed in having a BM.

I’ll try to refrain from mentioning the p-word in posts for awhile, unless of course I get comments practically begging me to write about the time one of the girls had a champion long-distance poo-shoot that reached a distance of over a meter away.

I decided to not re-up my membership in either Starfleet (the local branch seceeded from the union) and the “local” Parents of Multiples”, as it’s way too far away for me to attend any meetings - and on a Thurs. nite, no less, when my husband works late.

Instead, I’ve joined the Holistic Moms Network.  They’re a lot closer and they meet on Saturday mornings, which is more doable for me, and right across the street is an indoor playground (they charge $6 per kid), and down the street is a waterfountain park for kids to play in on sunny days, and another park close by.

Also, what is really nifty, is that the meeting takes place in Whole Foods, which means I can get a little shopping done afterwards of things I couldn’t buy from the organic co-op I usually get deliveries from.

Speaking of food, my little darlings are being awfully picky this week.  It seems they’ll only eat things that come in nuggets and raviolis.  They’ll eat fish and chicken nuggets, and so far, beef/spinach raviolis, squash raviolis, chicken raviolis and cheese raviolis.

Surprise, surprise, they’re also constipated.  I’m now supplementing with pureed prunes.

Luckily they still drink their juice, so I can get veggies into them that way.  They seem to not mind that their juice ranges in color from yellowy to dark green, from one day to the next.

I’ve also started trying a product called Moxxor, that I heard about from NaturalNews.com.  I’ve even become a distributor.  You can read all about it in the “Special Opportunity” section on the left.  So far it’s worked on the leg cramps that were keeping me awake at night, even if I was so lucky as to get my insomniac twin to sleep.

With all of our economic woes recently, and the hoopla about the Beijing Games, and the whole McCain/Obama shootin’ match, I’ve noticed that the Myanmar Cyclone has sorta slipped beneath the media radar lately.
