Our Kids

Well, we got our cool stroller today in the mail… very nice! It’s a Combi stroller made for two, but it’s designed to be really lightweight and small. It’s a side-by-side stroller, but it actually fits through doorways, which isn’t that easy for twin strollers. It also folds up easily so you can drop it in the trunk of your car, or slide it out of the way at home or anywhere else. It even has a carrying strap, but let’s not get too crazy… I think we’ll be rolling it around.

I’ve got high hopes for this four-day weekend ahead of us… I hope to finish up the changing table and maybe get more work done on our new guest room. The changing table’s the biggie, though, but it really should be too hard. I just have to be careful… measure twice, cut once. Usually I reverse those two things.

Got some kid stuff in the mail last week from some nice folks in Arizona… our kids already had some Auburn gear from some other nice folks in Texas, but now they’ve got the other side: Arizona Wildcat garb! Got some good stuff, so while Lela’s the Tiger, Piper can be the Wildcat. And vice-versa, of course! Thanks to both sets of folks for everything!

Today I did my fasting glucose test because I failed my first test. No I have not been sitting around eating candy bars although I have used the pregnancy to eat more cookies, ice cream and cinnamon rolls than I normally allow myself. I don’t think my side of the family processes sugars too well anyway so I think the “failure” is more along those lines than anything having to do with the pregnancy. I peed in a cup four times and was pricked five times, in the hand since my veins are hard to get. I thought it was all going well until the last one and after that I could tell that I had not eaten in a long time. I could barely keep my eyes open and was sweating and getting the shakes:) But Jason was such the gentleman and drove me back and forth from the hospital each time and then whisked me away for lunch as soon as I was finished. He is such a treasure to me. I think he feels slightly guilty as if all the poking and proding the doctors are doing is somehow his fault, which we all know it is not. He is so grateful that I am carrying the girls and he tells me that often. He is going to be a better dad to them than they could ever wish for.

They were pretty active all weekend and their kicks are getting stronger so I think that means they are continuing to grow. We have another ultrasound on the 29th so we will be able to see just how much they have grown in two weeks. We don’t get photos of them anymore because they are just too big and the photo would just be of some body part, probably a kidney since we see those pretty clearly:)

I had a very restful weekend, sat with my feet up and was pampered like a princess. This is a short week so I am expecting more of the same this weekend. I have another check up on Wednesday to check my blood pressure and teetee sample again and to get the results of today’s tests. I guess that is all the news for now.
