I Heart the DMC Twin Moms!

I started catching wind awhile back that there were a few other twin moms within my same division at Children's. At the holiday party this year a handful of us ended up sitting together. We had such a great time connecting that we decided to try and get together for lunch more regularly. Finally we have a regular date and we're going to do it 1x/month!

Jayne has the oldest set and they are ~6 years old; Eugenia and Anne's twins are both 4 years old, I'm next with S&Z at 21 months, Sam's boys are 18 months, then we have 2 younger b/g sets via Nora - 8 months and Carrie - 3 months. I invited 2 other research friends to join in the fun - Michelle works in Psychiatry and her babies are 6 months and Stephanie works for the Autism Consortium and her boys are 4 months. That's 9 twin moms all within my work circle! It will be tough to get us all together due to busy schedules, but last month 7 of us made it and today there were 5 (+ Carrie's babies!!!).

These women are amazing!!!!!!!! They are all Ph.D.'s or M.D.'s and handle work-life balance with love and and a healthy dose of humor. The more experienced women pass along lots of good advice and perspective which I am finding invaluable. I appreciate my mommy friends so much and am excited to widen my circle of friends.

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
