I'm having a down day. I have had a few hormonal fluctuation moments while being pregnant (or even when I was not!)... okay, maybe more than a few... :) Change is hard for me. My life right now= change. Everyone's heading back to school-- decorating their rooms, shopping for things they need or things for their students, attending workshops (although those are boring :) ), seeing friends, and I'm... not. :( I went to my OB today and once again everything is great-- no dilation, babies are moving around healthy as can be, BUT... it's summer time an d I'm in my 3rd trimester, and I'm preggo with twins. That means-- be careful. Dr. says don't be in the heat-- no running errands in the heat of the day (which is all hours of the day) because the hospital has been flooded with pre-term labor mommies. We don't want that to be me! It also means- I'm swollen which is quite painful. In the morning and evening I cannot use my hands my fingers hurt so badly- it's strange. So staying elevated and drinking a lot it is. I plan my one outing a day and then hang out taking it easy at home. Today my dog's at the vet and I realized it's lonely without her! When are they going to call? I want to go to the grocery store, Michaels for some scrapbook stuff, Sonic for a Vanilla Coke (caffeine and all!), and to pick up my dog, BUT... I have to do what I'm told... I'll just go get Cali... if they'll ever call...
Just had to vent. I am 100% counting my blessings every second of the day. Even if I was homebound, it'd be worth it to have 2 healthy baby girls. We are blessed! I'm just... hot and hormonal and hungry... :)
I'm done now. :)

Oh, Amy, I am so sorry you are having a down day! This too shall pass but it is no fun in the midst of it. Hang in there. Those girls will be here before you know it. It is so hard to be at home for a majority of the day and I am so sorry about the pain and swelling in your hands. Do they know what is causing that? I'm guessing it's just part of being pregnant with twins in the summer. Anything they recommend to make it better? You're in my thoughts and prayers and I hope you get to feeling better soon!
Hope you feel better soon!! I wish it would cool off too. Even though it rained alot, it's still hot over here too!
Girl...I feel for you! This heat is unbearable for anyone...I can't even imagine carrying twins right now. So, here are some ideas of fun things you can do in the house...while resting! You can go to shutterfly.com and make an photo book. Here is the link, http://www.shutterfly.com/store/index.jsp. Laura made a hardcover one and it is gorgeous! You can write captions and choose backgrounds! It is so fun! You could make one for your dog, one of your teaching memories, family, honeymoon...etc! This would be enough to keep you busy for an entire week and you would never have to leave the house! Also, if you were closer I would bring you all the stuff I laminated and ask you to cut it out! LOL Not that you would really want to do that! Just kidding about that. Hang in there! Like Cheryl said, "This too shall pass." I would feel the same way if I were in your shoes! You and the girls are in our prayers! :) Oh yeah, the olympics start tomorrow, so that will be fun to watch while resting! You can do it!!!
Kelly- I'm loving your ideas. :) and if you lived close, I would cut out your lamination in a heartbeat!! And I'm pumped about the olympics. Thanks for the suggestions! :)

Oh.....I remember those days and I was only dealing with Indiana heat! I went in to see my OB/GYN because my hands were SO bad and when I would sit up my face would go numb. Diagnosis.....twin pregnancy! So frustrating, but I promise it's worth it.
You might not be decorating your classroom, but you're decorating your nursery! I think that's a great tradeoff!
Oh....and your post made me want a Sonic Diet Limeade and some tater tots! Sonics are few and far between up here!
Hang in there and take it easy!
I'm sorry you're having a down day, sweetie. It's hard enough carrying around one baby, let alone two and in the middle of this summer heat.
We all know that you're beyond grateful for this pregnancy but that doesn't mean it's not hard for you sometimes. It's okay to vent...that's what we're here for! :)
Hope tomorrow is better.
*MUCH LOVE*
Oh sweet girl! I have been there, but mine was not in the summer. I am sorry you are having a down day. I remember when I would call my mom and say man I want to go to Target, but I didn't because I knew I would feel worse when I came home. It is ok to feel that way. Treat yourself to Sonic anyday...you don't have to get out of the car!!! :) Also, you could volunteer to help your school friends from home...cut stuff out, label, etc. I hope you feel better! :) praying for you and R and R.
I can't say that I know how it feels to be pregnant with twins and dealing with the whole set of worries that goes with that, but my pregnany with Jill was full of "watch this, watch that, don't do this, don't do that." I had high blood pressure, and I had to be careful. It was very hard to go from being a busy body to feeling stuck all the time.
I think the snapfish idea is great! I also like to play on scrapblog. It entertains me for hours. And I would definitely go for that Vanilla coke!
