It’s now Monday, July 29th, and officially Matt and I have been married for 2 years. Well it’s a good time to get on with having kids I guess. It’s kind of the norm, give or take a year here or there. Look at the royal couple Will and Kate... married a couple months before us and now they just gave birth to Prince George. Guess we can’t call the baby boy George. I am not heartbroken. We didn’t really celebrate too much as per our usual. We did head out to Banff and went to the fondue house! Yum! Mom and Dad treated us, and Dave and Lindsay (married 7 years on Aug 6), to an anniversary dinner because thy are awesome! It was awesome; I love that place. Had Duck and Beef and Ostrich... oh yeah and chocolate fondue too! Except we were really out in Banff to see Kevin so the fondue thing was just a fortunate side trip. The band was pretty good; hopefully they’ll be able to get their sound out a little more and perhaps tour out west more and maybe even play in Calgary on a night when we can stay for the whole show.
Things have been fine on the pregnancy front. No new developments. The babies are coming in 6 weeks or so... eek. Sometimes I can even envision that we’re going to actually have two more little people in the house. It’s been very hard for me to look too far beyond the day we are living. Maybe this is for the better, maybe not. I am starting to feel excited for our day of birth though... whenever that may be. And I feel that just holding these little guys at the end of it all will make it feel so much more real and worth it. Though apparently September is a big important month for shows in Calgary so I’m a little disappointed that we won’t be making it to our Oct 5th singleton birth date because I really wanted to see War Horse and 50 Shades... Yes, woe is me... lament!
In the meantime the nausea is more under control with more pills and less vitamins and bagels in the morning. Had too many incidences of rushing into the clinic and barely making it to a sink before breakfast bagels were jumping back out of my stomach. Bleck! At least when I don't make it into the clinic and am sick in the parking lot the crows have a nice snack for the day.
At work I managed to interview 1 tech of the 3 resumes I got. She was nice but I can’t find her registered with the Alberta Tech Assoc and that could be a problem. I am waiting to her back from her about this. My other interview poo poo’d the position and the other resume lives in NS so I don’t think she’s going to be too keen to come out here. It’s unfortunately and not easy and we are running out of time. I may work a little in September as well. Either way the sale of Chaparral will keep me a little occupied for some time anyway.
The babies have been good though all this. Most days they move an average amount, some days they never settle down, and some days they are pretty quite; too quiet for someone who is supposed to be monitoring and counting their movements. Especially hard when most of the movements are in the neutral zone and at the end of the day one is not really sure if it’s boy punches or girl kicks. It gets you paranoid on those quiet days but I am trying to remind myself not to get too worked up about such things. Everything has been so normal and fine that there really is no reason to worry. Still, that’s hard to tell your 2am brain such things and make it go to sleep.
The vegetable of the week is a head of lettuce... that’s pretty variable. I feel like there is probably a better way to gauge these things instead of vegetables... oh well. Their main job now is to grow, grow, grow. All organs are functioning and mostly ready to go at this stage. They are busy bouncing around in my tummy making faces, hiccupping, swallowing, breathing, sucking their thumbs and peddling their arms and feet. That is when they are not sleeping. At this point I have put on 14 kg (31.5 lbs) which I guess is average. I still feel a little small for 2 babies, but they were normal on the growth curve 2 weeks ago and we have another ultrasound tomorrow which I am anxious to see that we are still normal. I like being normal for such things! Well, that's all for now. Luv luv!
