Week 29: Return of the Morning Sickness! Yeah!

What the heck is going on? I am back to being sick every morning and nauseous until around noon. Lame! And the headaches are back... maybe I should go see physio again? Heck I don’t know, kind of a tough call. Also so very very tired again, lunch time naps please! And peeing ALL the time, almost every hour, because my bladder doesn't have any more room. I guess nobody said the 3^rd trimester was gonna be easy. At least I’ve been able to take it really easy and my feet are back to their normal size, at least for today! Just in time for pedicures, which I am in desperate need of. Nobody mentioned what a pain it is to scrub your feet, trim your toe nails, shave your legs, or landscape the bush, and it’s just gonna get worse. Ha, that’s kinda been my motto lately anyway. Not that it's worse as in ‘wholly crap I’m never gonna make it’. More like worse as in bigger and harder to do things. Such is the way right? At least I’ve gotten used to the uterine contractions so most of the time I’m barely aware they have come and gone... most of the time, not every time. Boy, don't I look pleased in this picture!

Otherwise, things have been mostly business as usual, other than trying to take care of things at work. I have to replace myself on a couple of levels. It is a pain and I really wish I could just split in two and one of us keep working and one of us do the kid thing. Multiplicity eh? I will interview techs next week and I have started setting up the girl at the other clinic to do the book keeping at least for Douglas. Chaparral is suppose to be getting sold... ugh I wish it would just go already but still so much to do until that happens. Well, technically I have over a month right? 

At least worrying about work means less worrying about other things. Jen pointed out that it was strange that I was so paranoid about loosing the babies but have no concerns at all about delivering prematurely. This is true. I feel like we can make it to the end of this one. Even so, as time goes by I feel less and less like we might lose the babies. Things have been so uneventful on that front. We had our ultrasound on Tuesday. Was able to take Daddy AND Nana. Like I said, very uneventful... babies fine, good, growing normal, moving normal (maybe too much for the US technician). Physically, all the things that put one at risk for preterm labour I’m not even on the verge of. So yeah, I feel justified in thinking we’re gonna make it to September no prob! The biggest question then is... Who will plant my fall bulbs!

Speaking of... The garden has fallen off my radar. I really need to get out to it. Matt is doing a great job of watering things, but I have roses to plant, other roses to prune, weeding to do, and the mulch will probably not go down this year. We will see if the rock garden even gets done. Might have to put the rock babies in the bed where the patio is suppose to go as this will probably not happen his year either. Well, what can you do? We tried.

This week the veggie is butternut squash... However our ultrasound says the babies are like 1.5 lbs and the app says it's more like 3 lbs. So we are maybe more twin sized now. I am curious to see what the next ultrasound says about growth. We are going to go every 2 weeks now which is nice for the whole reassurance thing. The brain is developing wrinkles this week and the bone marrow is taking over red blood cell production. Another step to being healthier if they come out early. Also, hormones should start being produced soon. Maybe that testosterone will grow our baby boy a little bigger than his sister by the end of this!
