Oh my gosh, travesty, I missed a week! Sorry guys but regardless of my best intentions I just never got around to it. I suppose it may happen now and then. Anyway, not much really changed over the last few weeks. In fact, I can’t think of anything too new to complain about... same old same old, right. The funny thing is that ever since I went to see the doc and she told me soon I would be feeling movement a lot, I have been feeling movement a lot. Maybe it’s just that I’ve finally nailed down the sensation and know when it’s the baby’s and when it’s just me. Maybe the babies just heard the doctor and decided to ‘kick’ it up a notch. Either way I am enjoying it. It seems to me that most of the time it is from the girl kicking down into my pelvic/bladder area, or perhaps trying to kick little bro in the head. And the other day, when we were waiting in line to check out of the dump, the boy was really going at it on my right side to the point where it could be felt on the outside - Must have been the noxious fumes. Unfortunately, every time Matt takes a feel they stop. Oh well, I’m sure he’ll get to feeling them soon enough. They are only going to get bigger from here on out.
What else? Well the furniture came but we haven’t had a chance to get it out of the boxes yet; besides Grandpa wants to help assemble it. Though we did move the old furniture out of the room so at least it’s kind of ready to be set up. And the bed’s in the basement ready for when the nights start getting really hot. I know they will, last year I spent a couple sleeps down there on the futon so at least with a bed it’ll be a little more comfortable. Man, I am so not a hot weather person.
Matt also put together the stroller and then we played with the various seat configurations for half an hour. In other words, bad-babies positions and good-babies positions depending on if they want to look at each other or not. It’s a pretty slick stroller, so far I am impressed.
Also, in the last two weeks I officially became freaked out over the whole delivery process. I know I said it didn’t really worry me and now I feel like the less you know the better. The more info I get the more one thinks and then the more one worries. Yes, yes, I know it will be fine, everything will be fine... yeah trying telling a hormone infused mom-to-be that. Anyway, I know I will manage just fine once the time comes.
Last week the babies were corn cobs and this week they are eggplants. Their skin is turning from translucent to pink as all the little blood vessels fill in. Nostrils are opening up and the lungs are becoming a little more developed so they can practice breathing fluid shortly. Good, this all sounds good. Hopefully we can keep these babies inside until their lungs are fully capable of breathing air. Here’s hoping for no premature things to happen because I plan to work until the end of August... BAHAHA. Well maybe I can, we will see!
