Crazy Days!!

These past 48 hours or so have been a little crazy. The day before yesterday, I was so bored that I actually put make up on the girls (something I swore that I would NEVER do) and they loved it! Kherrington looked like such a little beauty!! Look at those super long lashes!

Delaney ALWAYS makes me laugh! (even if I happen to be yelling at the same time) She has such a fantastic sence of humor!!! She really is my pationate girl! So silly and so loving!

Mike borrowed Leah and Eric's truck so that he could empty out our storage unit and save the monthly cost. He had to have everything cleared out by a certain time so he packed the truck until it was practially busting open! He barely had enough room in the driver's seat. I called my best friend Leah to tell her what Mike had done! She and I had a good laugh!

Yestruday was a complicated day. I started having contractions and the nurses had to stop my labor by giving me a shot of trebunaline. It was susccessful but my goodness it was full of side effects. It made my hands shake and my heart was pounding. It was pretty intense. My blood pressure started to drop and got pretty low, so that was a bit scary as well. They put me on O2, which really helped me feel a lot better. I had some trouble staying hydrated so the doctor had an IV put in. This morning when I woke up, I looked at my feet and they were HUGE!! Welcome to the water retention phase of the pregnancy! I have pitting edema and I look like I have gumby legs. I have also gained A TON of weight!!! I'm not even kidding! A couple weeks ago I gained 5 lbs in a week and then I gaind 6 lbs this last week. I am going to talk to the doctor about it some more but I am a little scared to eat very much (not that I am concerned about what my body lookds like) but I am concerned about how that rapid weight gain will affect the twins. It is hard that there are so many things out of my control and it is a struggle being a mother and not being able to take care of my kids, but right now these twin boys need me most. It is often said that when something bad happens then you really know who your friends are. This statement is so completely true. There are so many people who really do care for me and my family and the support we have recieved is so humbling and makes me feel so loved! And my family is incredible! My mother watches the girls 3 days a week and Laura Ketchum watches them the other 2! I talk to Mike and Leah multiple times a day and they are the back bone of my support. I have a wonderful husband and Leah is "My Person". She understands better than anyone else ever could. She makes me feel like I am perfect, just the way I am and I never have to hide who I really am. And, she is an amazing cook (another great purk), and she makes the best chimichangas I have ever tasted!!!!
