The BEST and Worst news ever!!!

Well what do you want first, the good or the bad. I will start with the greatest news ever since I have these cute pictures to go with the post. Yesterday was the twins' 9 month check up with the doctor...yes it has been 9 months since they were born, crazy! To start, Karsyn weighs 11 lbs 11 oz and is 24 inches long with a head circ. of 15.75! She is still not on the charts yet but is growing steadily!
Kennedy weighs 8 lbs 8 oz and is 21.5 inches long with a head circ. of 14.75, which obviously she is not on the charts yet either but the doctor is very happy with her steady growth also. He showed me the growth chart in comparison to "normal" babies and she is on the same curve, just way below it. That means she is gaining a good amount of weight each month!
OK, as you have been able to see so far, there is something missing on Kennedy's face...her oxygen and she didn't just get out of the bath! We tested her oxygen sats and she is doing perfect...she is done with the oxygen!!! I don't know who is more excited, me or her (or maybe Kurt, I don't know)! I had to take her back in this morning after she had been off of it all night and get retested and she did great. The doctor said that I should hang on to the oxygen stuff for a few weeks just to make sure she doesn't poop out and need it again.
As you can tell, this is about the most exciting news I have ever gotten. Yesterday I went over to Hailey's house after picking up Logan from school to play while people were looking at our house and I got Kennedy out and just danced around with her. I love having no limits or cords that require me to sit down or carry the 20 lb bag around! As you can tell this is the best news, I am so excited for her, now we just have to get the helmet off and she will be FREE!
Now as for the bad news. I won't go on and on about it because right now I am just too excited for Kennedy that nothing else matters (but really this is much bigger). On Tuesday at work, Kurt found out that they were laying him off soon. If you all remember, this is the job that he has only been at for about 3 months and they begged him to come work there and gave him everything that he wanted and more to get him there. They said that because of the economy they don't have enough work and he is the new guy. I can't even tell you how pissed I am because he was at such a good job before that he loved and made great money. We both really felt like this job would branch him out and give him other great opportunity...ya, I guess not. Anyway, they suck, and we are at any time going to be out of a job. We don't really know what we are going to do because we will have absolutely no money coming in, and more importantly NO INSURANCE. We know not having insurance isn't an option so we will have to figure something out soon. Our house is still up for sale and hopefully now, more than ever, it will sell and we can move in with family until we get back on our feet. if anyone hears of anything for Kurt to apply for, please let us know! Happy Holidays, I guess!
