Army Wives

So I finally gave into the Army Wives hoopla.  I've seen it before, but I thought it was so cliche and focused way too much on the negative stereo types of the military.  I decided to throw caution to the wind and give it another shot.  So, now I'm hooked.  Dammit.  Here's my thoughts so far.  I'm about 15 episodes in and I'm obsessed with Pamela.  I can't stand Roxy, she's the epitome of ridiculous military wife...so far anyway.  Claudia Joy is someone I'd like to be someday, maybe.  Denise is pretty precious and her husband is smokin'.  To me at least ;) Roland is the bees knees as far as I'm concerned, but I'm not sure why he puts up with Joan.  She's too moto for me.  Life is too short to be that intense.  

I'm finding that while most of it is very stereotypical and borderline cliche, I still love it.  Like really love it.  While I don't want all that drama, I wish I had good friends like that here.  I fear that some of us got shafted in the base/post department and not all of them are equipped with great friends like that.  Maybe our next assignment will be better.  Hey, a girl can hope right?  

The babies are now almost a whole month old.  A MONTH, whoa.  Each day is better than the last, if thats even possible.  They are growing and doing new things constantly.  They had a pediatrician appointment Tuesday.  {A} is 6lbs 12oz and {M} is 6lbs 6.5oz.  They've almost gained 2 lbs since birth.  Considering where they started, thats pretty huge :)  They're on the charts with babies born at term!  They are in the 5th percentile for everything, but {A}'s head is in the 10th percentile.  She's got a big head like her momma.  I asked the Dr if it was ok that they were so low on the charts and he said its great that at being born 4 weeks early they are even on the normal growth charts and not the preemie ones.  I'll take that ;)

And because I'm obsessed with my children, here they are!

This picture was taken *just* before {M} peed through his diaper soaking this outfit.  Boys!  I usually bring down 2-3 outfits for {M} every morning.  Sadly, he goes through them.  We're on outfit # dos for today already.  Not sure how he manages it, but I'm gonna find a diaper that he can't pee through.  Mark my words!  I'm tired of doing laundry.
