Monday Morning Bullet Points
As I didn’t sleep very well last night, I don’t really feel like trying to remember stuff in order, so here are the snapshots…
- This week, I am 19 weeks pregnant. I’ll try to get a picture up for you ladies in the near future.
- I woke up on Saturday morning to another ant attack. This time, there were teeny-tiny reddish brown ants crawling in a ring around my sink. I realized they were coming up from around the caulking at the back of the sink. So I spent the first hour of my Saturday killing ants before I cleaned, washed, and wiped down my entire kitchen. Grrrr!
- Saturday afternoon, we spent a couple of hours with a couple who had twins last December. Very informative!
- Both sets of parents were here some this weekend. My parents stopped by briefly on Saturday night; Eric’s parents came for a few hours yesterday. It’s fun to spend time with family. Especially when they come to me!
- Sunday’s sermon was about who Jesus is. It wasn’t anything I hadn’t heard before, but what a great reminder that we really can (and should) just stand in awe of who He is and what He does for us. It’s far too easy to let Jesus become ‘old hat’ instead of reveling in his majesty.
- Standing in church is one of the hardest things about being pregnant for me. The slope of the floor is murder on my poor, stretched-out abdominal muscles. I’m wondering if I’ll even make it to the 3rd trimester before I will have to stay seated for much of the service. Sheesh!
- I’ve recently joined the world of pregnancy heartburn. Tomato products seem to make the back of my throat just burn. *sigh* But at least it waited this long to start!
- One of the best things about my nephew is how is little face just lights up when he sees me. And he’ll just squeal happily when I talk to him. It just makes my day!
- My husband is downright fantastic (in case I haven’t mentioned this recently). He made dinner on Friday night (just pizza, but I didn’t have to do it!), watered all the plants, finished painting the nursery (he hates painting), and spent as much time as I wanted to sitting on the couch. What a guy!
- Eric mentioned yesterday that, while he won’t be too upset with the genders of the babies, his preference would be (in this order): boy/boy, boy/girl, girl/boy, girl/girl.
Okay, I think that covers the basics. Happy Monday!
@MomEdlund – Right now it’s only occasional and manageable. I’m hoping it stays like that for a (long) while!
I had heartburn alot and I only carried one baby at a time. I hope it’s not worse with twins!!
praying for your heartburn!!
Hooray for a helpful hubby! Hope your heartburn settles down some.
I think the difference between boy/girl and girl/boy would probably be the order they come out. That the boy would be the “older” one. Am I right?
I think Kelly is right…the babies’ genders were decided about 19 weeks ago, so I don’t really think it makes any difference now!
@kellycohan – I’d like at least one boy.
@gsowell – We just chatted about when/how their babies were born (31 weeks/1 month in the NICU), how they’re developing, what their schedule looks like, what stuff they use a lot/never use…that kind of stuff.
So what enlightenment did the visit with the people with twins offer?
I remember having trouble with church. For me, I couldn’t sit through the service. So for a couple of months, I would get up and stand in the back through part of the sermon.
LOL, somehow I think the babies already are what they are, no matter who prefers what. Do you have a preference, Shannah?
^ I was thinking the same thing. ^
And does he know it’s not the best idea to tell God your preferences like that…..
Um, what’s the difference between boy/girl and girl/boy? A minute or two?
