I think there’s something wrong with Xanga today. I could NOT get a post typed into the normal text editor for anything. So I hope this works…
It’s only 49 degrees here right now and overcast. I don’t expect any rain. Still, the cool temperatures sure do surprise me every fall. I mean, six months ago, almost 50 degrees was warm!
The appointments went well yesterday.
– The dietician told me that I’m doing exactly what I should be and that diet seems to be controlling my blood sugar just fine, and she gave me a meal plan that will give me a better clue towards planning meals effectively. And she gave me some ideas for snacks. It was helpful.
– My OB appointment was fine, too. I now measure about 38 weeks, but I’m not dilating or anything. We chatted about the contractions I’m feeling and a number of other indicators, and she gave me my official “don’t travel” orders. So I’m stuck in Columbus for the duration. Of course, while she won’t let me go more than 8 more weeks, I think we both sensed that I’m not likely to make it that long. We’ll all be really pleased with 4 more weeks, but we shall see…
It’s a funny state I’m in now. We’re really ready to just get on with this whole parenting twins things instead of waiting, and with the various frustrations and physical pains I’m dealing with, I’m definitely ready to see these little people on the outside. But of course, they’re much better off inside for now. So we’ll try to keep them there as long as possible…no matter how frustrated I get!
Last night, I was really tired, and my attitude needed work. So I cleaned my kitchen. I looks SO nice! I also made dinner, relaxed with the TV and some knitting, and talked to my mom for a while on the phone. I was in a much better mode by the end of the evening. And I slept much better last night, too. Thankfully…
Today I really do need to do some grocery shopping (I’ve put it off for a while). I also need to iron a few little things from the laundry. And tonight, Karen is coming with me to the Twins sale. Unfortunately, we’ll be going the day before my shower, so I have no idea what I “need” really. But I do have a short list of things to look for. Hope it goes well!
Okay, off to start the day. Happy Friday!!
Wow, I can’t believe they could maybe be here in 4 weeks, let’s hope they stay in as long as they can – still a bit of cooking to go!
I can’t believe I still have 8 weeks left, I wonder if they last weeks drag. I finish work next week which I can’t wait but I am like you and can’t wait to meet this little one on the ‘outside’.
Hang in there girlie – you are doing a great job, hope you had a fabulous baby shower!
So sorry you are stuck in Columbus! I can think of worse places to be stuck though. 🙂
Get what you want at the sale. If you get a duplicate at the shower, you can return that to the store and get something else you need!
O.k. funny story…When I opened your Xanga page Holly was sitting right next to me. She asked me when your babies and my baby were going to come out. I told her that yours would come out a lot sooner than ours. I told her they would probably be here around Kelly’s birthday. Then she asked me if the babies liked cake.
I told her they would be too little for cake. She thought they would like just a little though. 
She cracks me up. She had Chris and I laughing so hard the other night in the car with all her “baby rules.” You should hear them.
@Marketer319 – Sadly, I can’t! I tried looking at my registry a couple of weeks ago, and I felt like I’d ruined Christmas! I know it’s dumb, but I hate knowing ahead of time what to expect…
@Marketer319 – i did that for my wedding registry too.
i coudln’t help myself!
so happy to hear that the appointments went well! i really can’t believe the babies will be here in 4-8 weeks! that is SO SOON! i’m so excited for you!
Just check your registery and see what hasn’t been bought.
I know, I know, it’s cheating. But you still don’t know who got what and you’ll never remember what’s on there when you’re opening gifts anyways.
Yay for the twins sale! I say if you see something that you really like and it’s a great deal, buy it…………..if you get a duplicate at your shower, you can always pass it along to someone else who needs the one you bought, or resell on craigslist or something once things settle down a bit at your house.
Glad your appointments went well…….I was praying!
Oh, and I meant to tell you the other day that there is a website we used to suggest to our type 2 diabetics: http://brands.kraftfoods.com/diabetic/main.aspx?s=diabetic&m=main_content
It’s sponsored by Kraft Foods and has lots of good info and recipes and such. I see on the top of that page that they now have a program called “Good Eating, Good Living” that you can “join” as well to get more tools and info and recipes.
