Just called M to check how she was doing at home. She put up the phone so I could hear both babies screaming and said the cat was about to vomit. So, I guess all is well.
The babies are sleeping a bit more at night. Last night we got a solid straight 3.3 hours of sleep. Wow. Mairin slept for 4 hours plus. I think you are suppose to wake them up to feed. We checked that she was breathing and let her sleep. I try to make up for bad parenting by obsessively googling about plastics and BPA's. I think I can try to stop the scary odds of autism if the kids aren't sucking on plastic pacifiers or not using as much Windex. Whatever.
I usually get strange looks from people when I mention my concern about autism and that I'm leaving my job (not that I've confirmed this with employer) I'm not sure why I expected everyone to be supportive about the choice. I usually get a strange look or "really?" "Are you sure about that?" Our decision is really just a temporary thing- when we buy a house we will need 2 incomes. The responses have been surprising. Do they think I am a free-loader? Maybe M seems more like the stay at home type? Maybe people think if you have some education- why the hell would you want to care for your children? Not sure...but it's surprising.
Will Hillary or Obama just end this thing already and flip a coin? Mr. McCain is getting a free freaking pass here. And the guy is a nut (perhaps a war hero, but still a nut).

They look amazingly alike. So pretty, both of them. I'm confused. Are you staying home w/ babes and M returning to work? Also confused about your autism worries --- this is/isn't connected to your job decision? I realize it's still controversial (and you probably know this), but there are still vials on vaccine on the shelf w/ thimerisol. I realize the science is saying no connection, but I find that hard to believe. You can request vaccine w/o thimerisol. Because it's still on the shelf (but not currently being used in new vaccines), it's still possible you could get that preservative unless you specifically request that it be thimerisol-free. Thanks for the update. Fun to hear how it's going.
