Plan Z:

September 14, 2006

Someone please have a beer for me

This is one of the last really hot dry days when a cold one is perfect. I guess lemonade will have to do for now.

There is a God. Dr. Love is letting me work part time for the next month, then I am off until January!!! Which is so unbelievably awesome, since nine hours of sleep a night just isn’t cutting it, it seems the monkeys need at least 10-12 a day. So…..three days a week, then nest , nest, nest!!

My blood pressure has been slowly creeping up, so now I get to enjoy bland vegetables and a salt-free existence for the rest of my pregnancy. Because of my twin status and my age, I am at risk for pre-eclampsia, and after reading Cecily’s heartbreaking story last year, I am willing to eat straight tofu if needed. We DO NOT want preemies, well, a few weeks might be okay, but NOT a few months.

So, fall is on its way, and I am coming into the home stretch. My weight is good, the babies are the perfect size and growing beautifully, and other than the BP issues, Dr. Love has pronounced my pregnancy “a model twin pregnancy.” I have this really weird feeling now: oh, could it be….happiness?

The ultrasound pictures did not come out that great, but I will post them this weekend when I get my scanner up and running, I forgot to do it last night at T’s. I have more to post, but am now at work so I’ll update you this weekend. Oh, and my allergies are still bothering me, but not quite as bad as they were last post. Thanks for reading!
