Cupcakes update!

I cannot believe that I am almost 4 months already!! And I have survived so far, despite the ‘any time’ sickness. Now we’re moving into the uncomfortable part. Sleeping comfortably has been an issue as it seems that the only comfortable way is to sleep slightly elevated on 3 pillows with a pillow beside me so my arm doesn’t go numb!! (Yes that’s an interesting side effect, although I had that with Emma too!)


Also now I’m into the stage of clothes not fitting the best…although I hit that stage a few weeks ago, it’s only getting worse. I have been plagued with thoughts of ‘oh my god what is going to happen to my body!’ and checking out plastic surgery websites! Gravity is already doing a good job on me I am sure holding 2 cupcakes in the oven are just going to make gravity do it job faster! So I am seriously thinking of taking stock in Spanks right about now!! And the worst part is working while trying to fit into clothes that aren’t too short or have a little bit of spandex in the fabric!! There are no plus size maternity stores up here so I am hoping to hold out on the yoga pants and one pair of forgiving jeans that I have until I make our trip to Kelowna where I can pick up some maternity pants.

Other than that, I am working on the twins room and trying to decide a décor look that is gender neutral. It’s a hellva lot harder to when you think that you have to get two of everything! And my taste that I had with Emma is a lot different now, so I’m trying to work with it! lol

Emma has decided she would like to have the guest room now and the twins can have her room. She tells me that she is growing up and thinks that she should have the bigger room, so that when her friends come over they have more room to play and she also wants a desk so that she can have a place to do homework and art work. Oh and did I mention she would like to have the walls dark purple (like a plum!). I am actually okay with it, cause she was so articulate with her reasoning. She said ‘well, I want the walls that dark because that side of the house gets the morning sun and with light walls it’s still really bright in the morning even with the shades down, so if the walls are dark then my room will stay darker in the morning.’ Hmmmm how can I argue with that? So I looked up some dark purple rooms on line and I actually really like them so it might work.

Lastly while I was surfing the net the other day, I noticed a link on my cousin’s facebook regarding twins. (here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVyD1Qw5OEU&feature=youtube_gdata_player )

It’s super funny and honestly I cannot help laughing and crying at the same time while watching this, thinking of what my twins are going to be like. It really makes me look forward to having twins now…I hope they will bring a lot of laughter into my life.

Back at it

Okay so it's been a while since I have written a baby blog.  That's because, well about a month ago I after my February ultrasound I woke up with the worst cold/flu thing, whatever it was!!  A day later I woke up throwing up and then I couldn't breathe!  I was gasping for air and didn't have a voice.  I called Matt at work and said in a barely there whisper, I can't breathe you need to come home and take me to the hospital!  Matt hurried home and realized yes I do need to take her in to the ER.  The doc put me on nebulized epinephrine.  I had two rounds of it before my throat opened up and the doc also put me on predanzone (however you spell it) for a week to take the swelling down in my throat.  It took me a week before I could actually speak again.  It was crazy!

Anyways so the results of my February ultrasound, the babies were fine!!  Heart rates were 154 for baby B and 138 I think for baby A.  The tech said they were bouncing around all over the place and wouldn't settle down, so it took 2 hours to do the whole ultrasound!!  So I was very happy to hear that, of course! 

Lets see what else has happened over the last month.  I had my maternity visit for my in town doctor and my blood pressure was up super high 158/92!  But I was hoping it was just a bad day, because at work it was a very stressful day and apparently I don't deal with stress very well at all!  (surprise surprise!)  But then a day later it was 127/80, so that's much better and it was around the same a few days later too.  So I think it was just the stress that work can produce in me.  Hmmm maybe I will be off work soon!!!!!!!!!!!!  Here's hoping!

So fast forward to yesterday, where I had my monthly ultrasound, and I'm 3 and a half months by the way.  First I arrived too early, like 45 minutes early and apparently I drank way too much water!  I got there and was doing the pee pee dance and said to Matt I have to go just a bit.  So I did just a bit, but by the time I got back to where Matt was I was doing the dance and it was super painful!  So I decided to go again, but this time I needed Matt to help me up out of my chair, cause I knew if I moved a certain way, there would of been a huge accident!!  So anyways, I go again, and let me just say....when you have to REALLY GO, to try and stop yourself 'going' ummmmm yeah that's like trying to put a kink in a freakin fire hose!!!  VERY VERY DIFFICULT!  So I go back to see Matt and I was okay for about 20 minutes, but then I got very uncomfortable again, and told Matt, you go and ask how long it's going to be cause I can't hold it anymore!!!  The clerk gave me a cup and told me to just fill it up.  So again I went down to the bathroom, so excited to be finally GOING LOL....and what did I do??  Dropped the friggen cup in the toilet!!  Honestly!!!!  But at that point I didn't care!!!! 
So anyways finally the tech told me to come in and he was a bit of a jerk, but oh well.  Anyways he didn't tell me ANYTHING!!!  Not what the heartbeats are, if they are okay, NOTHING.  I asked if there were still two in there and he just said "ah huh".  He didn't show me the screen, and about 45 minutes later he says okay just a minute and I thought okay he's going to get Matt and Emma, and then he comes back in and says okay you can go.  And I was shocked, I said is everything okay? again he said 'ah huh', I get dressed and go back in and ask, do I get a photo?  He again says umm next time.   So Emma was upset that she didn't get to see the babies, I was totally worried that he didn't say anything when the last 3 ultrasounds I have had they have told me something!  I was freaked out!!! 

A co-worker suggested I call my OB and see if he could just ease my fears, and so I did.  The clerk was super nice to me and totally understood when I told her and said, you know I'm pregnant with twins, hormonal and slightly a little be crazy, I just need to know they are okay.  She told me that Dr. Gill was in the OR all day.  So I didn't except a call, I know he's busy.  But at 6pm he called!!!  The babies are fine!  They are growing great and right on target for their age and everything looks great!  ~SIGH~ what a relief!!!!!!  Honestly I have got to come up with a great gift for Dr. Gill when all this is over!!!  He's be nothing but good to me since the first night I saw in the ER. 

Anyways, so the cupcakes are awesome!  I am a bit crazy and hormonal and still getting morning sickness ALL DAY LONG, although some days are better than others.  I have ANOTHER cold!!!  oh and I am really looking pregnant to boot!  I had to go and get pregnancy clothes last weekend already!!!!!!!!!  it's like literally within the past 2 weeks I have popped!! 

I wanted to also say to everyone, thanks for the words of support!  I am sorry if I haven't kept in the best contact or answered emails.  When I come home I nap!!  I am up with the family for a bit before I'm off to bed by 10pm.  It's terrible!!!  I'm zoned out most of the time!!  lol  Anyways I just wanted to tell you all, I am still here, I apologize for not keeping in better touch!  And I really appreciate all your support!!

Now onto better things....decorating the twin's room!!!!
