I am feeling so incredibly good! I was aware of how bad I was feeling at the end there, but still, it is amazing. Just afterwards in the recovery room when the boys weren’t quite an hour old and I was still numb with the shakes from the epidural, I felt better. I can’t really get around quickly right now, but I have energy again. I just got home from the hospital this afternoon and...
the twins are here

Too much breathing, not enough oxygen. That’s how I’m feeling today and how yesterday was. It’s rather disconcerting to be lying down on the sofa and feel as though you are about to pass out and fall over because you can’t get enough air. I think it is safe to say that the wall I have hit is not budging. Yes, I only have until the day after tomorrow, but I am huffing...
I discovered last night the Ben REALLY wants to see the Chicken Little movie from Disney. Unfortunately, it isn’t released until November. Let’s all try to support him during his long wait.
Just to let everyone know. We are only allowing family to visit at the hospital for the first day at least. Please call before stopping by for the following days. Thank you.
I spoke to my dr’s nurse today at 12:15 and explained the daycare/Ben time off work situation and asked about rescheduling the c-section. She said she would have to talk to the dr and get back to me. By 4:30 I still had not heard back. I called and left a message asking if she had spoken to the dr yet. She called back about 10 min. later to tell me we have been rescheduled for May 26. ...
I realized when I woke up this morning at 4 am that I need to ask the dr about moving up the scheduled c-section by one week. Otherwise, the day after the boys and I come home from the hospital, is the first day Becca will be going off to daycare. Not good timing.
We get up this morning to go to the Mehlville baby sale. On the way there I start having contractions. This is just sitting in the car. I have over 8 an hour consistantly for the next three hours. I go ahead and go to the hospital. Big time contractions walking in and standing at the labor and delivery desk. By the time they finally put the monitors on me, they were petering out. Also,...
Tuesday night I was woken up at 1am by bad back pain. It was the kidney pain again. I woke up Ben, who was so tired that all he said was, ‘you sound like you are in pain’ and pretty much went straight back to sleep. I tried many different things to get it to go away without having to wake a lot of people and go to the hospital. I finally found a position that worked. If I sat with...
