I have LOTS of pictures to post from various events over the week. They are cute, and i can't wait to post them, but i am at work, so i can't do it until later. Residency is so painful for many, many reasons. 1 of those reasons is that i have approximately somewhere between 1.5 and 3 hours between getting home from work and going to bed. I hate having to choose between the things i really really really want to do in that time period. Of course, the #1 activity of the evening is playing with the babies, but they usuall go to bed around 730, so that still gives a little time before we go to bed (usually around 9 since we have to get up at 11 p.m. to feed nova, 2 a.m. to feed nova, 4 a.m. to soothe a screaming juneau, and then 430 a.m. to get ready for work....and that is on a good night!)
List of things i really like to do:
1. update the blog
2. Play with photoshop and the "new camera" pictures
3. P90x (this is the awesome new workout program i am doing. more on that later, but it takes 1.5 hours a day....TIME SUCKER)
4. play Guitar Hero
this is just an abbreviated list. It does not include any of the items that i really, really need to do. Those are mostly housework, and i don't even want to think how long that list is, so i wont put it here.
whew, i can tell this is going to be a long post. sorry about that, i am feeling a little wordy today.
anyway, i am back to working a daytime shift. Good for many reasons, but i will definately miss the low-stress environment that comes from working in the middle of the night. The drama is so mild compared to working in the daytime.
You may have noticed i redesigned the look of the blog. I like it pretty well, it is a little brighter, and more spring-timey; however, i am devasted by the permanent loss of the "timeline" that used to live on the left side of the screen. My devastation is a little bit out of proportion. I know not too many people cared about the date of our "second fingerprinting" or "first homestudy visit", but each and every one of those dates meant so much to us while we were waiting for Juneau to come home. Each one was a little tiny accomplishment in a mass of dissapointments (but ultimately ending in our amazing little bug). anyway, goodbye to the timeline.
And as a final note for today, i had my first PT test after delivering Nova today. This is one of the painful things about being in the military - every 6 months you have to get out of bed at 0400, go down to the track, and run 2 miles, do 2 minutes of pushup and 2 minutes of situps. Fortunately, the requirements aren't too terribly stringent, but there is always that little concern that maybe some Sergeant won't think your pushups are pristine, and you will fail, and that would really be awful. I was a little nervous about the PT test, since i did a "practice" test last month, and my situps were lacking quite a bit. So, while i was on nightfloat i impulsively purchased P90X from the infomercial (i have a knack for impulsive purchases), and we started the workup with the nightfloat team. It is spectacular, and it really really works. I more than doubled my situps in the last month, and i feel much more in shape. I really want to continue it for the full 12 weeks (this is week 6), but now that i am not on the relaxed nightfloat rotation, i can't squeeze it in while i am actually at work, so that means dedicating 90 minutes to working out at home every day, which in all honesty, just is not gonna happen. So i am torn about my P90X workout because i do love it, but i'm not sure if i love enough to dedicate my entire evening.
so, that's about all the rambling i have for now. I will try to put up some super cute pics of some super cute babies tonight or tomorrow.
Oh, i keep forgetting to mention it on the blog. Nova is walking walking walking all over the place. She took her first couple of steps just before she turned 10 months, but i didn't really count it because they were ridiculously wobbly and lunge-y. About 3 weeks ago she decided she wanted to be a full-time walker, and now she is all over the place. It is soooooo cute. Also, her breath holding has been a little better since the whole seizure incident. She has held several times, and passed out a couple, but zero seizure activity. She has a Dr.'s appt today, so we will see if they have any additional advice/info for us.
ok, that's all for now.
The graduating class of OB/GYN residents at Tripler! It's been a LOOOOONG four years, but don't we look so happy to be counting down our last days? 
Dad teaching his girl how to throw a perfect spiral - Left Handed if you will notice (JBug is clearly right handed, but cris is the sole lefty of our family, and hoping to convert one of his right handed girls. He works hard on getting them to do things left handed. I tell him he is gonna mess with their heads, but he is persistent)
About 100 times a day we hear "one more". this is the new favorite thing for both Juneau and Nova to say. EVERYTHING is "one more", which they say enthusiastically while holding up 1 finger. 
Dr. Nova, professional athlete, showing off her multiple skills.
I think Nova is starting look more like her Dada
Juneau showing her "Shaka" skills. 
This is the 2nd season for our pineapple garden. 
Juneau discovering Dandelions
Juneau doesn't get in trouble very often, but when she does she knows to go get her "time-out" mat and put it in the corner. The whole thing is unbelievably comical, especially when she puts her little face right in the corner.
It gets cold here in the early morning, so the girls usually wear a cute little sweater when we are going out and about
It is always so sad when i realize that Juneau doesn't look like a baby anymore, but more like a little girl. 
Ready to head out to Starbucks for Saturday morning treats
