  Exciting Times and a Slight Concern

  I have two best friends. We were all college roommates together. Bethany, Amber and Tawni...we called our apartment the BATcave and had matching Batman t-shirts. We're cool like that. Bethany married Kary's college roommate, Eric. Tawni married her beloved, Gabe, just last summer on our 6th wedding anniversary. Both of these dear ladies had baby girls this week. Tawni was 3 weeks early in delivering her little Francesca Anastasia on Monday morning. Bethany was 6 days late in delivering her precious Amalia Prairie Marie this morning. I feel like an auntie with new nieces! The hardest part is that these dear friends of mine now live so far away. Tawni is in Louisville, and Bethany in Chicago. I haven't even seen Tawni since her wedding, and I see Bethany only a few times a year. (Haven't seen Eric at all since they moved there two years ago. I miss you, buddy!) So, while I am beyond thrilled for them, part of me is a little sad that I can't be there to hold their new girlies or help them in any "real" way. If you're reading this, I love you all, and I can hardly wait until we can work it out to all see each other and introduce our new daughters!

  I also wanted to mention that I'm taking Tinúviel for an EEG. Don't be alarmed! She has just developed a bit of a tremor that happens occasionally. Our doctor (who I saw today) and the pediatric neurologist he talked to are almost positive that it's a benign condition called "infant shudder syndrome" that she'll grow out of in a few weeks, but they want to do the test to rule out seizure activity. They said that it really couldn't be a terribly serious condition, since she's reaching all of her milestones and a even a little ahead on some of them. We're not overly stressed or worried, but it will be nice to be certain. It should be a blast, because she has to go into the test sleep-deprived and without having eaten for several hours. Oh. Joy. Please pray that she cooperates in her own little baby way. If she won't go to sleep when they want her to, we'll have to reschedule or repeat the test.

  If I forget, someone remind me to post with the results when we find out.
