The boyz

I have been feeling the boyz move around a lot more lately. I've been thinking about running to Babies-R-Us with Jaylen this morning and registering for the upcoming baby shower. I just want to get out of the house but also just want to lay around. I feel bad that Monday and Wednesday Jaylen is stuck at home with me not able to go anywhere or do anything. I was trying to think of somewhere fun to go that didn't cost money and the baby store is the only thing I'm coming up with.

I've been sleeping great, minus the dreams! This period of time in a pregnancy is called the "honeymoon stage" because this is when all the problems seems to disappear. I'm still happy to report, no spotting, staining or discoloration of any kind!! Still having headaches frequently but am trying so hard to stick to just Tylenol.

I spoke with Jess yesterday and Eli was still in NICU. They were going to transport him to Johns Hopkins because he will eventually need surgery on one of his tubes in the wee-wee area. Other than that, he's perfect and will hopefully be home very soon. I know it has to be unbearable to have him away while all they can do is wait to find out what has to be done next but Eli is in a good place and it's better that they caught the issue this early and not later in his life. I just hope they can keep it together for this brief time as it will get better, fast!

Other than that, it's rainy and foggy outside, cold. It would be a perfect "reading" day but I am starting to feel like a caged animal and need to get out of the house!

One of the worst things.....

I am happy to report that all is still clear!

One of the worst things about being preggo, other than having to constantly make sure there is no spotting and just having to slow down are the dreams you have while you're pregnant. Sometimes nightmares, sometimes dreams so real and vivid, how could they not be true? The one I had this a.m. was of Ava going off to college. I thought my heart would break. Before that one was a dream about us having to pack all of our belongings and move from our house. That one made me sit up in bed with tears in my eyes.

Other than that, I've been reading a lot and am almost finished with the Twilight books. I am on the fourth book and cannot stop until I've reached the end. I've read all three books in just a few days and I will be done with the last today. I'm glad it's rainy out because at least I don't feel so guilty about not going anywhere. Days like this are perfect for reading in bed!

The Christmas party on Sunday was a lot of fun and it was nice to get out and have some time to be around other ladies. I mostly hung out with Chris and Cheryl but got to know a few new people. The gifts this year were better than last year and there wasn't a lot of switching going on. I however, took the opportunity to switch from a dish that had Merry Christmas Ya'll to get some GIANT wine glasses. They were intended to be candle holders but I could totally see a bottle of wine in just one glass and jumped on the chance to get those for when I am able to partake in wine drinking again! I've got my priorities straight!!!!

Alright - gotta go get the girls ready for school!

All is quiet!

I'll happily report that there has been NO spotting, staining or discoloration of any kind since I went to the dr. I've been more active and went out of the house 3 times this past week. My mother and I went to Wal Mart and I rode in one of those little carts which was starting to putz out on me towards the end of our shopping but it was still nice not to have to do all that walking. We went into Hickory yesterday and I walked the whole time but it didn't bother me.

I went to Head Over Heelz at Lake Norman and got a new pair of shoes called Billow Boots made by FitFlops (http://www.islandtrends.com/product-exec/product_id/6509/nm/Fit_Flop_Billow_Boot_Camel) and they ROCK!!!! Thank goodness I have an account there or I would have never gotten them but I am glad I did! Merry Christmas to me! My legs felt great and there was a "spring" in my step!

I am going to the bookstore today to get the third and forth books in the Twilight series - I've read book 1 and 2 in 2 days - they are like candy to my mind and I can't get enough!!! My neighbor across the street is having a Christmas party - you get to take someones gift if you don't like what you got. Last year was my first time experiencing this type of party and was unprepared. I think I'm ready this year!

Other than that, the babies are moving around - we're trying to pick names and they change daily - I woke up this morning and Peter and I listened to their "heartbeeps" before we started our day!
