23 week update




First off, yes the Broncos, Tide, and Golden Eagles all lost this week. Danna is pissed and refusing to eat. We just left Dr. Elliott's office and everything is going well with Moni, Pius, Forrest, and Laine. Danna, however, is seriously upset about our teams' malfunctions. She is only 15 ounces and falling behind in size. Dr. Elliott was concerned, but it is only something to keep an eye on for right now. The other babies weighed between 1 pound 2 oz. and 1 pound 6 oz.


Moni's gallstone has seemed to disappear, but her belly weight is now causing some lower back pain. Also, her walking is painfully SLOW compared to Billy and Becky's speed steps.


Mark got us some tickets to the D-Backs for Saturday night's game against the Dodgers. Moni, Becky, and Billy had a good time drinking 8 dollar beers and watching the game. The only downpoint to the game was that afterwards, somebody yelled out the outcome of the Bama game to Billy and he had it TIVO'd at home with 5:00 left in the game. He was devastated.


We got skype set up on the computer, so if any of you have a webcam you can talk to us AND see us. How exciting is that?!


Looking forward to seeing some friends and family in October. Moni's friend Karen and Billy's cousins Stephanie and Kelly are coming to see us. Then Roger and Marsha will be here at the end of October followed by Mike, Vicki, Bucko, Lainie, and hopefully Ryno for Thanksgiving. Can't wait to see all of them!




Billy and Moni




P.S. Moni and Billy have decided that since neither of us can seem to post anything appropriate (i.e. titles, obscene pictures, etc.) we will now post together in the third person. Keep the comments coming...we really are dorks about checking the website for new stuff. Also, concerning the sono pics: The top one is Pius's face, the middle one is Forrest's face, and the bottom one is Laine's facial profile. That better be the only profile of his face we ever see. The boys were crowding Danna so we couldn't get a good picture of her. Damn boys.

Monica you look like a hot mama :) You look great. I hope your apartment is on ground level! I could not imagine going up a bunch of stairs with four growing babies inside me. Glad everything looks good with the babies. We will continue the prayers. Tell them boys to scoot over and make room for that little princess! Much love to all 6 of you--Andrea, Darren, Caleb and Hannah

Andrea, we're actually on the 2nd floor, but the parking garage goes up to our level, so I don't have steps to deal with (unless I walk down to the pool). I'm still pretty mobile, though - just slow.

Oh, how precious!! This is fun reading about you guys and keeping up to date in real-time. Keep the good info and pics coming.
Moni, I talked (via e-mail) to Julia Atherton last week and she asked me to say hello and she is thinking of you guys.
Moni, to echo everyone else's sentiments, you DO look absolutely gorgeous! Billy, you look great, too, naturally. In that one belly comparison picture, if you cover up your head you could totally be Bob Jr. Take that as a word of caution :)
Love you guys!
Hug Beck for me.

Monica you look great! Just wanted you guys to know that Brad and I are thinking and praying for you! We can't wait for the bundles of joy to come!
We love you - Amy and Brad

Those are really good sonogram pictures!!! Especially considering that it is probably getting a little crowded in there. Have you asked if they can do a 3d or 4d ultrasound? I highly recommend it.
Love

Kelly thinks that your blog is totally awesome and she loves checking it. She also enjoys reading all the wonderful narratives about Billy and Monica. Kelly is excited to see her cousins at the end of October. Know that she is missing you and praying for you and loving you and rooting for you more than any sports team!

Hey guys hope all is going well in phoenix. Sorry I have just made my way around to posting something but you know me I have always been a little slow. Plus Bill told me no bad words could be used so it took me 3 weeks to think of those last two sentences. It nice to read that everything is going well. Miss you guys and hope everything continues to go well. J.D.

P.S. - Sorry Bill but as you probably know the quads joined those broncos, golden eagles, and tide. Nothing like a good 0-4 tuesday night but hey we still whooped up on the beer.
