Had to laugh EL. That little one has your number and is playing you like a fiddle!!!

Great news about the babies. I’m sure your daughter is getting real uncomfortable, but wants her babies safe. Please tell her that Logan’s family is praying for all of them.

Miss V and Logan must be kin. When he “spends” with me, it’s a long night. He sleep soundly, kicking me every 15 minutes until I finally give up and get up after about 4 hours of non-sleep. I think it’s because he’s used to a big bed all by himself and likes sleeping sideways! Anyway, he heck to sleep with!!

Time is drawing near for the 2 precious ones to make their appearance into the world. Please keep us posted... and keep trying for that hug and a kiss with Miss V.

Please keep us posted.

Will do. New report today, and with a follow up tomorrow.

They did a full check at the "high risk" specialist's. Estimated weights: 3 lb 3 oz for Katharine, and 4 lb 1 oz for Elizabeth. (I know, even Katherine is over twice the size of our Texas Termite when he was born). Growth was good, amniotic fluid looks good (there's enough around each), movement is good.

Little Katharine's lungs aren't quite up to snuff, so doc ordered another round of steroid shots (two shots, 1 day apart, because my daughter is not a large woman.) The last round doesn't seem to have affected her at all, and may not have done much for Elizabeth either, since her lungs look just right for 33 weeks, which is where they are today. They'll reevaluate K's lungs and "breathing" tomorrow. While she was first to be observed practice breathing, she hasn't been seen to do it on the last couple of checks. Daughter and I think she's just being her usual uncooperative self. She's always turned the wrong way to see what they want to see, or sleeping when they want to see her moving, etc.

Daughter is taking it all well, and so is Grandpa. :)

Daughter called while I was in Physical therapy. (knee), and when I finally called her back, I woke her up, sort of. She claimed she wasn't really asleep, just zoning out. It's nice that she thinks to call her Dad as well as her Mom.

I'll be going down to Austin to see them all next Saturday. Son-in-law and I will watch the Nebraska-Texas game (on TV), and then he'll cook a diner for us. Don't know if younger daughter and her hubby will come or not. (Four years ago we had great seats about 6 rows up on the 25-30 yard line. It was my birthday present. Texas won, and they'll do it again this year. Nebraska may have won it's last game this season. They stinketh mightily. AD has been fired, and not *just* because of the football program. Coach/US Representative Tom Osborne, PhD, has been named interim AD. He'll kick a$$ and take names, quietly and courteously.

If there is any new info tomorrow, "I'll be back". :)
