Week 19

I had felt better last week..then have felt yucky most of the weekend and today. Perhaps I am just going to be one of those women who are sick most of their pregnancy.

The babies while quiet most of last week have been kicking up a storm today. I think I am starting to sound like a crazy woman at work. One can hear at random times of the day "Ouch, stop kicking me". What I am really thinking is "damn it kid, stop head butting me!" Head butting is a guy thing on Robb's side of the family. Robb did it as a little kid, Dylan did it too. One of the more distinctive pains I can recognize is a head slamming against the wall of muscle.
And that would be baby A, the lower one, who I think is my boy, Chance. I have no cute, fluttery feelings of baby movements. The only thing I recognize is that pain usually means someone is moving.

I didn't purchase much at the Mother of Multiples sale over the weekend. Just a few small odds and ends. However I am feeling very blessed in all the things coming my way. Between my sister-in-law Kyria (who had the last baby, Cici) and my best friend, Dina (who has the 6 month twin boys) I now have everything I need furniture wise for the first 6 months! 2 Cribs, 2 car seats, 2 swings & 2 bouncy seats! And to top that off, we raided Dina's closet again on Sunday and found more maternity shirts for work and weekends. And I get to borrow a really nice black cocktail dress that should work for the Holidays. I am so lucky to have their kindness and love!

My next appointment is on Friday, so I am sure I will have more Dr. news over the weekend. I will be interested to see if I have gained any weight in the last 2 weeks. While I feel that the babies are growing I know I am still not getting enough calories for us all. My face is starting to look less chubby. For those of you that knew her, or have seen pictures of her, I have the bull dog jowls of Oma deWolff (not Marie our Oma, but Opa's mother from Holland, who was my Mom's Oma). Heather insists that I get her pictures of my belly.... and there was an anonymous post by some kind soul who thinks I look pregnant...so I will put pictures up this weekend for you all to laugh at and enjoy.

I can't tell if I am really this bad at bouncing from topic to topic with really bad paragraphs. Or if it is baby brain. Maybe it is a little of both. I ramble ...it is quite common. I am off to bed.

Love and Blessings to you all,
Elizabeth :)
