26 Weeks tomorrow and my doc appt today went well.
I had my glucose test and well that wasn't as bad as it could of been. Since I had gastric bypass 3 yrs ago, I'm not able to have a lot of sugar or I get sick. I get a really bad head ache, a belly ache, dizzy, sometimes I puke and get sweaty. Well drinking a drink that is only 10 oz and has 50 grams of sugar is a lot for me. When I'm pregnant I can consume more sugar then I can when I'm not (for what ever the reason) and so I did the test and hoped for the best. It was a happy medium I suppose. I got the sweats, a headache, a belly ache that didn't last too long and felt queezy, but I didn't puke or get dizzy. I don't know if I passed until I call tomorrow to get the results, so we'll see what they say.
Other then that, the doc checked my cervix and it still looks great she said. Same as last time!!
I see the midwife in two weeks, then the doc two weeks after that and she will check my cervix then for the last time and she said she will also measure the babies and see how much they have grown and there weights based on the measurements.
By then I will be 30 weeks, which just blows my mind. That means I will only have 7 weeks to go before we meet Miss Morgan and Miss Riley.. I am excited and scared and still not processing that I will have two babies.. TWO people... T...W...O...
I can't wait to see what they look like.. If they look like Aiden and Chuck, or look more like me.. If they have lots of hair or are bald like I was. If there blond like chuck was or have dark hair like there mommy..
However I can wait the next 11 weeks or longer if need be to find out. As long as these two babies stay in there and bake as long as they need too.. No more NICU stays. We filled our quota of days there and having 1000 doctors and a million worries.

GAWD!!!!! What a weekend.. UGH!!!
First it was the worst tummy ache to start my friday. Saturday I actually felt ok and got to spend the day with my mom and Aiden and we did some shopping at the outlets for the girls (and Aiden too.) Then today... Morning started off fine, we all slept in late. That was a nice switch. Aiden woke up in a wonderful mood and my goal for the day was to get the bedroom orginized, go through the last of the packing boxes, bring a few more things to the storage unit and get Aiden his first hair cut before he has a mullet.. LOL
Easier said then done... I started on the room and was going along. I walked into the living room to talk to Chuck and check on Aiden and came back in the bedroom and WHAM!!!!!
I was seeing stars.. I had wacked my baby toes off the vacuum (that just broke so it needs to be tossed and we missed the trash men last week or it would of not been there)
Well I tried to shake it off and it was not working. Can you say pain! For the first time I was convinced that I broke my toe. I was in tears and couldn't walk it hurt so bad.
After a few hours of icing it the best I could I was forced to get up to pee before the twins jumped on my bladder one more time or I was going to wet the bed (haha). So up I got and wooooo back down I went. I sat there thinking of all the ways I could make it to the potty with out using my foot. Hmmm hopping was the only way. Do you know how hard it is to hop on one foot being 6 months pregnant. It just doesn't feel right.. lol
So I did my best, go in and barely got out and then hoped in the kitchen got a bowl of ice and cold water and soked my foot til I could not feel it. By then, YES PEOPLE, I was in tears.
I guess this is what I get for being a clutz right.. Well CHuck and Aiden woke from there nap and Chuck saw me sitting in the kitchen with my foot in a bowl and tearns in my eyes and said ok that's it we are going to the hospital. Off we went..
5 1/2 hrs later and it's not broken, but sprained with torn/pulled ligaments.
Tylenol for pain (oh yippie) and keep it up and rested as much as I can til it feels better. Also buddy tape the toes unless it hurts too much and wear an attractive boot.. I so wanted a matching pair (ha ha ha)
Right now it's a little past midnight. Everyone is sleeping and my damn foot is throbbing like the cartoon who gets his thumb slammed into something. I can't sleep, there is nothing on TV, and well it just sucks all around..
Tomorrow is Monday, Chuck is working, and i pray to god my stupid foot feels 200% better so i can cope. I am actually glad the week end is over and I never want week ends to end, but this one with the exception of Saturday, has been terrible.
Ironiclly I am 24 weeks and 3 days today, and that is exactly when I had Aiden, which was also a Sunday. So how do I get to spend the day today.. In the E.R..... Lovely, just Lovely!!!
The best part is in the morning I will be 24 weeks and 4 days and that is just 1 day closer to our target and the girls getting stronger.. Now that I can smile about.. :)

UGH!!! What do you do for a terrible tummy ache. I was fine yesterday and had wonderful plans to spend the day with my mom and Aiden today, to only wake up and have the worst stomach ache which has kept me in and out the the potty all day. Chuck just left for work which means I am on my own with Aiden until bedtime. OH that seems so far away right now.
All I've eaten today is 4 slices of dried toast, a cup of decaf tea and been sipping water all day to try and stay hydrated. This sucks!! I am trying at this point to force myself to feel better knowing I have Aiden to take care of. It's that mind over matter thing, but it's not working so well.
The girls are probably in there wondering why mommy is making so many weird noises today cause my tummy is in an up roar. Hopefully this will go away really soon cause I've had just about enough of it already.

24 Weeks today and all is good..
I was out of work this week for a few reasons. Monday I just couldn't walk very well due to having so many charlie horses in the same leg the previous night that my legs were just so sore. Two days before that it was the opposite leg, so I was in rough shape. Tuesday and Wed i was just exhaused and needed a break. I need some sleep and rest and wasnt going to get it if i went into the office then came home and had Aiden until he goes to bed which is about 10:30pm these days. Today I had my doctors appointment and needed a note for the last 3 days so I couldn't go in today either. ( I know what a shame!) I have to say, being home has been really good. I get to nap for atleast an hour in the middle of the day and sleep a little later in the morning, both help with not feeling like I am about to fall on my face any second.
So i intended to go back to work on Monday after i got a note from the doctor saying it was ok to return. In the mean time I up'd my calcium dose i take daily and that has helped with the charlie horses I was getting. I learned that around this time it's common to get them, more so if your carrying multiples, from the babies taking so much calcium from you. It took a few days to kick in but I think it's helping. So far I've gotten only one in the past two days ( I up'd the calcium on Saturday) and it wasn't a really bad one like the ones I was getting.
My appt went well. The doc checked my cervix and it looks great. The stitches are holding and no shortening so far. The babies had perfect strong heart beats, Morgan was 150 and Riley was 148, and Morgan is weighing in at 1 pound 6 ounces and Riley 1 pound 7 ounces.
With all that said, the doc has pulled me from work. With my permission, she took me out for bed rest due to being a high risk pregnancy. Although nothing is wrong with me or the babies, she feels the same as I do, and so many others, that the less stress, more sleep and more rest I can get, the better for me and the babies and for this pregnancy to go to the full 37 weeks we are planning. FINE WITH ME!! No stress of dealing with office politics, or customer service nightmares. No forcing myself to stay awake when I am exhausted at noon. Now I can take a nap since Chuck is home everyday til 3pm before he goes to work.
I see the doctor again in two weeks, then the midwife, then the doc, then the midwife again. So I am booked for appts every two weeks for the next 8 weeks which will bring me to 32 weeks. After that I will start going every weeks until delivery at 37. It's sounds so close and at the same time 3 months seems so far away. I'm still processing that I will now be a mother of 3. How crazy is that?!? It still just blows my mind.
In the mean time I will take it one day at a time, knowing that every day these babies stay in there, is one day stronger they become. Aiden was born on a Sunday at 24 weeks and 3 days. Ironiclly this Sunday i will be 24 weeks and 3 days. WEIRD!!! But this time my 24 week appt went awesome.. I can't be more pleased. The babies are active, healthy and strong and everything seems to be going very well.. Positive thinking will get us there I just know it.. :)
