I am STARVING today I can't seem to go more then 1 hour without eating ! I know its a good thing since I typically don't come close to the million calories im supposed to be eating, and I've yet to hit the 20 by 20- but im running out of ideas! Although the yummy banana bread mom made is helping. It sounds good anytime of day!
We have been truly blessed by all the help from family and friends. I really hope someday I can repay all the favors! My sister is planning a shower. My friend Teresa sent me smoothie flavored tums that have been a lifesaver! Last Friday, my friend Mandy came over and took the triple stroller for us, brought and made lunch, cleaned and organized some stuff and left a dinner! Bob has been mowing the lawn and kim has offered to help with laundry and insisted on paying delivery costs to have groceries delivered so that isnt how we were spending our time together with my one activity. Yesterday was the first time and I highly recommend it! At first it was a little aggravating but once we figured it out its awesome! You can still use coupons and if you have any issues they will come pick it up and exchange it. The nicest man delivered everything, he's in his 60's and just does a couple evening hours during the week. He told me once you've done it a few times it makes a custom list for the things you order regularly and it will cut ordering in time in half. He put everything on the counter and in 10 minutes I was back to the couch.
I had a little visit yesterday with my np, and I was so thankful. This weekend I had a new uncomfortable feeling. A lot of pressure when I sit and sometimes a pulling feeling. Being at 21 weeks, it made me even more nervous. Thankfully everything was okay, everything still looks great. Taylor gave us a nice crotch shot, she was not sitting very ladylike! In the midst of her gymnastics routine , she layed with her knees at her arm pits! It gave us a good laugh!
I sat a little more than normal this weekend ( as opposed to laying ) and that may have been the reason things felt different. Friday jimmy was in town, and he and Justin came by and hung out for a while. Jimmy bought the babies cute onesies with airplanes on them. I'm sure they will eventually associate all plans with uncle jimmy! Saturday Jason pushed me around babies r us in a wheelchair, I was so incredibly embarrassed before we even got in the door I tried to get jas to turnaround. The lady said they have a lot of women that have to do that, but still!
It is pretty fun (and overwhelming) to look all the stuff. It's hard to know exactly what and how much you need, so we went off recommendations out of a few twins books. We were pretty surprised at how every little thing is so expensive! But its all so stinkin cute!!
After an hour I was so uncomfortable we had to go home and Finish online.
Over the weekend We also had dinners for tony's and cari's birthdays. So Even though I spent the majority of the weekend on the couch, Apparently the sitting got to me! Im just thankful everything is still great as we creep onto 23 weeks. I realize something happening again, especially in that week is slim and none. But it is still nerve wracking! especially when things feel different! I feel the babies move a lot now, and twice this week I felt it from the outside too! It always makes me smile!
I still cannot get over how fast the days go by! Although, I am the world's worst napper. Everyday for a month now I've been trying, I'm tired because of the broken sleep! But it just does not happen!
Even though quitting wasn't an easy situation, im really thankful I'm having this opportunity to rest and take care of my body. One thing I absolutely do not miss about work is all the smells! At this point i cannot stand the smell of perfume /cologne and hairspray! I would have been in big trouble. The chemicals would of killed me! Plus I often think about this one lady who always reeks of cigarette smoke and I don't know what. It was hard enough not pregnant, I think I might have puked on her! I do miss the girls and my clients but I am enjoying my time. I'm reading a few books on twins and the help. It is definitely the best book I've ever read I love it!! I can't seem to put it down! ( Which never happens with me, I typically start but never finish a book)
I couldn't be happier that time is going fast, I am enjoying being pregnant and never forgetting the enormity of it all. Im so grateful for everyday! !
