I could NOT get a post typed into the normal text editor for anything.  So I hope this works&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s only 49 degrees here right now and overcast.  I don&#8217;t expect any rain.  Still, the cool temperatures sure do surprise me every fall.  I mean, six months ago, almost 50 degrees was warm!<\/p>\n<p>The appointments went well yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>   &#8211;  The dietician told me that I&#8217;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.  <\/p>\n<p>   &#8211;  My OB appointment was fine, too.  I now measure about 38 weeks, but I&#8217;m not dilating or anything.  We chatted about the contractions I&#8217;m feeling and a number of other indicators, and she gave me my official &#8220;don&#8217;t travel&#8221; orders.  So I&#8217;m stuck in Columbus for the duration.  Of course, while she won&#8217;t let me go more than 8 more weeks, I think we both sensed that I&#8217;m not likely to make it that long.  We&#8217;ll all be really pleased with 4 more weeks, but we shall see&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a funny state I&#8217;m in now.  We&#8217;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&#8217;m dealing with, I&#8217;m definitely ready to see these little people on the outside.  But of course, they&#8217;re much better off inside for now.   So we&#8217;ll try to keep them there as long as possible&#8230;no matter how frustrated I get!<\/p>\n<p>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&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Today I really do need to do some grocery shopping (I&#8217;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&#8217;ll be going the day before my shower, so I have no idea what I &#8220;need&#8221; really.  But I do have a short list of things to look for.  Hope it goes well!<\/p>\n<p>Okay, off to start the day.  Happy Friday!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think there&#8217;s something wrong with Xanga today.
