*sniffle* *sniffle* *sneeze* *sneeze*

I have a really bad cold that I just can't seem to get rid of. Every morning I wake up to a really bad sore throat and I can't seem to stop sneezing. My nose is stuffed up, and yet is constantly running. I'm so glad it's the weekend and Ricky will be home.

I think I'm going to go to bed now. My eyes are watering and I can't breathe out of my nose. Yep, definately bed time.

I Didn't Realize How Boring I Really Am

Ricky and I are heading to Panama City today. Tomorrow is our baby shower. I guess there's nothing else worth mentioning going on. I'll post some pictures of the shower when we get back on Sunday.

Update On The Babies

I'm officially on bedrest. Not strict bedrest, but bedrest none the less. So, after going to Panama City this weekend for a baby shower, I'll be stuck in Tallahassee until after the babies are born.

It turns out that not only are things opening up from the inside, they're starting to open up from the outside. Can you say preterm labor? All I'm missing are the contractions. My OB told us today that he was going to speak with our specialist about the problem and I should call him tomorrow to schedule our next appointment and find out what the plan is. I asked him today if he thought we would go to term if we could get the preterm labor undercontrol. He said he doesn't see us going to term, but he also doesn't see us having the babies extremely early either. He said he was trying to get us to 34 weeks. And he's also going to put me in the hospital for a few weeks to make sure I get there. I guess depending on what our specialist says will depend on when I go into the hospital.

That's all the updates on me and the babies for now.

"You Know What? I'm Sick Of Being In The Van..."

I had a really great Mother's Day. Got up at 9:30am and watched "True Lies" with Ricky while eating spaghetti alfredo. Then at 12:30pm Ricky and I took a really great nap until 4:30pm when Deidre called and woke us up. (I should have expected that! *smiles* People always call when we're trying to nap!)

Then we got up and went to Target where Ricky got me seasons 8, 9, & 10 of Friends to finish off my set. When we got home we watched some of season 8 and I got a foot massage then at 10:00pm we went to bed.

I know that sounds uneventful for some people, but I had a great day.

Milk and Mother's Day

Our babies don't like milk. I discovered that today. Whenever I drink a glass of milk they kick the crap out of me and then I start to feel kinda sick. And I was just getting into drinking milk again. .

Tomorrow is Mother's Day. I know I'm not officially a mother yet, but I think being 6 months pregnant still counts. My very first Mother's Day. This is so cool! Ricky asked me what I wanted for Mother's Day. I want a teeny tiny baby kitty. He said no, but I want one anyway. We need a seventh kitty. Six just isn't enough.

I Graduated!!!

Graduated from childbirth class that is. *smiles* Tonight was our last class. We talked about bringing babies home and then did some floor exercises. We found out that one lady in our class had her baby. Because of privacy issues, we weren't allowed to find out which one, but she went into labor early. Everyone seems to be doing well now our teacher said, so that's good.

Well, I'm going to head to bed. It's only 10:30pm, but I'm actually quite tired. My OB called from Italy (his father passed away so he's there for the funeral) to check on me to make sure I was doing well since he was gone. I thought that was very nice of him.

Goodnight all!

I Was Just Assuming You Didn't Want To Die

It's been a couple of days, but I'm back.

Luckily I didn't have to have any surgery. It's a little late for the procedure to be done and they said it basically fixed itself. I don't know how it did it in a day, but everything is looking good. Emma and Olivia have even started to catch up in size a bit and the fluid surrounding each baby is starting to even out. That is the best news I have ever heard!

Ricky and I have a new obsession. Lost. If you haven't seen the show, you should definately go out and rent it, or nextflix it. We netflixed the first disk of the first season and that night went out and bought the entire first season. We'll be getting the second season tomorrow because we've got two episodes left of season one. I'm telling you, obsessed probably doesn't accurately describe it!

My mom came up to visit today. She took me out shopping for some more clothes. A lot of the shirts that I have don't fit anymore. A few do, but I'm having to do laundry like crazy. So, we went to Ross and the mall and I got some cute stuff. Mom also got Em and Liv some really cute outfits. They have duckies on them and one has cows. I heart duckies! Mom also got us a stroller. It was really hard to find a stroller for two, but we did. It's really nice, but it's hard to maneuver...it's so long. I'll have to work on my stroller driving abilities before the girls get here or I'm going to knock them into everything.

I was really sick earlier. I don't know what was going on. After mom left Ricky and I had some chips and cheese dip and watched more Lost. In the middle of an episode, I got what felt like a really bad cramping stomach ache. My back hurt too. So Ricky and I layed down and took a two hour nap. I think they might have been braxton hicks contractions, but I really don't know. If I was having contractions I wouldn't know it because I've never felt them before. Such is life. After the nap I took a bath and was fine. I've been fine ever since then.
