It begins...

Monday, 1:45am I woke up to pee and thought boy I must be hot since I felt wet all over. Turns out not all over only bottom. Proceeded to the restroom where I did my business but when I stood up I continued to leak. Um this is not right. Then the vomiting began... Yeah, I knew instantly this was a sign of labor.

I got ready as quiet as possible and woke up N just before I left to let him know I was headed to L&D and not to worry. He needed to be at work in 3 hours and I honestly thought nothing serious of the situation...

Once I arrived at L&D they placed me in a birthing room and hooked me up to monitors and such. Was looked at by Dr. N and she confirmed it was amniotic fluid and quickly did an ultrasound. Both babies were showing no signs of distress, only little black spots in their space that represented lack of fluid.

The nurse gave me a shot of steroids for the babies' lungs in case I delivered later that day. They told me there would be a second round 24 hours later and I asked if I should come in the same time... the nurse practically had a seizure she was laughing so hard. She said that's it I'm here till I deliver those babies...

8 more weeks


Eek! How time has flown by, I know everyone says that but it really has. We've doubled within the week as evidenced below. Guess this means I'm doing a good job, and that's all that really matters. I'm finally starting to feel the effects of the weight though. It all kicked in this week. Went for a walk yesterday and my pelvic bones did a number on me last night. Also, I've been officially banned from xfit, :'(. Walking is all we're left with.

We finally cleared out the babies' room and have their crib set up! Everytime I pass by the room I get goosebumps. Then there was that almost mini freak out I had today at a baby basics class... Good thing I don't like to cry in public. We're now waiting for our completion coupons in order to finish up all our shopping then all we have to do is wait...

Black and gray are my new colors.
