bunch of different stuff.....

Update after contractions:
I stayed off my feet for most of the week after the hospital stay. We saw the MFM last Wednesday and the ob last Thursday and everything looked good including my cervix and they were both pleased with everything. The only thing was the babies are still below the 50th percentile. So they doubled my Lovenox. Now I get an injection of it twice a day. Fun! This doesn't mean too much now but they are just looking ahead and are trying to prevent problems down the road. I know that it is what is best for the babies and I would do anything for them but it is just not something that one really wants to do for 5 months. Oh well.

Babies room:
So D and his dad really started getting the babies room this weekend. D had already cleared out the room and removed the wall border that was in there. They got the paint and stuff to do the flooring from Home Depot. And D did the spackling, sanding, began removing the carpet that is in there and began the painting. The paint is going to be a light mint green and the floor is going to be a Pergo wood-type floor. It is very exciting. I think the room is going to look really great when it is all done. The closet is very odd and is not very functional. D's dad is going to "build" the inside and make it more functional. I am very excited about that too. The best part of this was that D got paid with a Home Depot gift card (the person some how got it for free) for a free lance job that he did, so all they stuff they got so far from there, only cost $20. So that worked out really well. :)

My shower
So my shower is booked. I told my mom I did not want a surprise since I needed to know the date. It is set for October 15th. I still can't believe that there is going to be a baby shower for me. It is unbelievable. I know it is bad, but I check my registry and see that things have been purchased for the babies. I get so excited when I see that. I still can't believe that we got so luck and have been so blessed to be pregnant with the twins. I can't wait for December to get my 2 little Christmas presents.

How long.....
Now that I am slowly getting my old life back, it really makes me realize how long we really were ttc and out of the loop. I went to a party at a friend's house on Saturday y for a few hours. I know her for a very long time and have seen her from time to time. But I also know her friends and family and have by choice, not seen them in years. Infertility was just too painful and most of the people I have avoided in her life have small children. So when I was at this party, it was so amazing to see how old the children actually were. It was almost bittersweet. I was happy to be there and see them and to be finally able to say, yes, I am pregnant, I fit in, I'm normal. It was also so hard to see them and realized how much time had gone by. It happened again when I spoke with another friend yesterday and made plans to see her next weekend. They were going to the b-day party of her cousin's daughter. Again, I could not believe how much time had gone by. I guess the pain of infertility never truly goes away. It does dull some but I think this is something that will always be with us.

Bored
Last but not least, I am sooooo bored. Since D has been busy with the babies' room and I am not allowed to do alot of running around or stuff around the house and such, I have been spending most of my weekend on the couch. I am just so bored. I have had a small outing each day but I guess it is not enough. We took the kittes to the vet and I was at my friend's party for a few hours on Saturday, yesterday D & I went food shopping and this morning I went to Target. That is my exciting weekend. I have been trying to read some of the reading materials that I have and look online for different things. I also made some phone calls and even recorded a few Lifetime movies and watched those, but still bored. Should be really interesting when I stop working. I don't know how people do it. I know it is for the babies for me to take it easy and I will do whatever they need, it is just a lot harder than it sounds to sit and do nothing. I guess I will survive.
