Quickie

Just a quick post b/c it’s two in the morning and I really need to sleep!  Appointment was a waste of time.  All they did was take my blood pressure and schedule my nuchal translucency scan.  The peri said that he’s not sure of the accuracy of the scan with twins, as there is not enough data on multiple pregnancies.  Paranoid me wants to just see them and make sure they are ok.  So that is scheduled for a week from Monday.  DH got laid off, interview tomorrow for a placement agency.  They also posted a position at my work, so I gave them his resume.  That might be kind of wierd tho…  <shrug>  Stitching again.  I started a Dimensions gold kit, that I got at an awesome clearance price of $10.00.  It’s on Aida, but as long as there aren’t a bunch of 3/4 or 1/4 stitches I don’t mind it.  (haven’t run across any yet.)  I think that’s it.  I’m trying to read The Devil Wears Prada but I’m not really getting into it yet.  We’ll see.

*swoon*

My mom and I saw Josh Groban last night, and it was wonderful. That man’s voice gives me the shivers. I hadn’t heard any of his new songs, and there were a couple that he sang that just might be my new favorites. And I only cried once, which I consider a remarkable feat for a hormonal pregnant woman! Awesome, awesome, awesome!

Pregnancy = NBHHY. Appointment tomorrow.

Oh my!

Well we had out ultrasound on Tuesday morning. The tech was a very sweet girl, and got us back right away. She decided to do an external one first. The way the room is set up is that the machine is faceing the tech, and there is a tv positioned across the room so I can see what’s going on. She started looking around and I kept seeing these two black holes. I finally turned and looked at her and said, “Are there two in there?!” She laughed and said there are two sacs, but we would have to do an internal to see if there was anything in there. So one bathroom break, and one dildo cam later, We are staring at two babies!!! Blob A (as they have been affectionately christened by DH) had a h/b of 150 and Blob B 154. We are in total shock. We have no history of twins in our family. And as some people have been rude enough to ask already, I’ll throw it out here: no we were not taking meds. What gives people the idea that it’s ok to ask this? If I were taking fertility meds, how is it anyone’s business other than mine, DH’s or my peri? Jeez o Pete! I guess I better get used to asinine questions. From what I’ve seen on twin boards, multiples seem to attract them. In other news, I’m huge already. I can’t fit in my jeans, and I’m hungry all the time. I tried to take a picture of the ultrasounds, but the batteries are dead in my digital so I’ll try and get that done this weekend.

In work news, I’m getting my shift changed!!!! I’ll be working 12:30 pm to 12:30 am on Fridays and 8 am to 8 pm Saturday and Sunday, and I’m off Monday – Thursday!!!! Yay!!! I’ll finally get to see my family again!! And after the twins are born, I can drop Friday, and still have the money to buy the minivan we are going to need. (Minivan?!?)

aww man!

I had such high hopes for my Bears. Especially after that awesome first touchdown! Oh well, maybe next year.

Today was my 6th anniversary!  Hubby and I went out to dinner, and he gave me some book love.  I also got to register for the new Harry Potter!!!  (Yes I read the Harry Potter books, yes I’m an adult)  I’m so excited about that.  I told hubby that I would be so p.o.’d if she killed Harry, but hubby pointed out that it wouldn’t really matter to the author as I would have already bought every book in the series.  I informed him that my opinion is a matter of great importance in general.  He laughed at me

Our first ultrasound is Tuesday at 9.  I’m scared.  We found out about our miscarriage the last time at the first ultrasound.  I’m trying to stay positively pessimistic.  I keep saying pessimistic things, in kind of a preventative defense.  Unfortunately I’m not fooling myself.  I’m already hoping and dreaming, we already have names picked out.  I’ve already thought of what we would need to buy.   No matter what, if something goes wrong, I will be devastated.  I’m trying to think the best.

I haven’t forgotten Belinda’s request to see the blanket I crocheted for hubby.  I’m going to try and remember to take both that blankie and the baby blanket I’m knitting now to work so I can take pictures of it in good light.  I’ll post them both here and on the wagon.  I’ve been trying to be more active on the Wagon in the past two days.  I’ve missed my stitching friends.  It’s been nice ’seeing’ old friends again.

I’ve started reading the Troy Game series by Sara Douglass.  It’s pretty good so far!  I love Greek mythology, so it’s ties to that drew me in.  And now the story is progressing in ancient Britain (again a favorite time period…)  I think if someone liked the Mists of Avalon, they might enjoy this.  Well keep your fingers crossed for Tuesday, I’ll keep any good wishes I can get.
