Wear your sunscreen...and sunglasses!

So I've had this little white bump underneath my right eye for 6+ months now.  I first remember noticing it around Christmas and it has been slowly growing ever since.  It started irritating my eye while I was in the later stages of my pregnancy, but I had other things to worry about, so I didn't get around to dealing with it until now.  I made an appointment with a dermatologist to get it looked at.  I felt a bit silly for going straight to a dermatologist for what I expected to be a little sty or fluid filled cyst of some sort.  Turns out it is a good thing I went.  The doc took a look at it and said it's either a mole or...more than likely...a skin cancer.  Not fun to hear.  He then proceeded to explain how he couldn't know for sure until sending a sample away to be tested, and then explaining how the biopsy would go.  I am already freakishly freaked out about eyes, and when he started numbing my eye area with shots and putting stinging drops into my eye I went into a mild state of shock.  This all happened in under 10 minutes.  :)  I actually fainted when the whole thing was over.  I'm not usually that wimpy, and have only fainted one time in my life...immediately following my wisdom teeth removal when I was heavily sedated.  Anyway, asking for prayers for negative results on the skin cancer.  I should find out some time next week...but either way...WEAR YOUR SUNSCREEN and WEAR SUNGLASSES.

In other news, the babies are doing well.  We weighed them in and Marlee is 8 pounds, 8 ounces.  She is still not on the charts yet for weight, but we believe she will catch up.  Parks is 13 pounds, 5 ounces and doing fine on the charts.  Big boy!  :)

I started back to work last week and it has been going pretty good so far.  Better than expected.  I have been busy when I start the day until 5:00 when I am done, but I am enjoying what I am doing (I am focusing on marketing only right now at 3 days per week instead of doing compliance and some other things I used to add to my normal duties).

Finally...the BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY...I'm PREGNANT AGAIN!!! 

SIKE.  I'm just kidding.  I am definitely NOT pregnant.  Wouldn't that be insane?!?! 
The BIGGEST ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE DAY is actually that Parks and Marlee have slept from their 11pm feeding until 7:45am for the past two days in a row!!  It is unbelievable.  Seriously.  I love Baby Wise.  It has been the greatest tool and guide for me to know what to do.  It's hard at first, but seeing results is the best thing ever.  I definitely recommend it and am a believer for sure!
