Little Princess vs Big Bully

With 4 weeks left I am now going to the dr every week. At my last appt. they noticed that my little princess was not gaining as much weight as she should and was now measuring 3 weeks behind schedule. My dr has paid extra attention to this all along because this is common when carrying twins....1 baby decides they want more food and takes it... In my case big bully brother is a pig! (Oh great, I can already see the future!) So, my dr decided to send me to a specialist
just to make sure everything else was ok and that there was no other reason why she wasn't getting the food she needs. I met with the specialist last Friday (loved him and would recommend if you need one) and he basically confirmed what the dr saw. He recommend two things: a non-stress test twice a week until I deliver AND take the babies a week early or somewhere between 37-38 weeks. (Really?!?!? I already gave up on my April babies by going with March 21st and NOW we gotta go a week earlier... That takes us somewhere between March 14th and March 21st. Well, I can tell you it won't be March 16th!)
I started my testing on Monday and all was well. Went for part 2 yesterday and big bully gained 12oz, officially weighing in at 5lbs 9oz and little princess gained 1lb, officially weighing in at 4lbs 12oz.(she now measures on schedule and is only a week behind big bully).
So as I get ready for week 2 of testing, I am excited to see my little princess take back what's hers from big bully and put him in his place!!

Friends

I had an unexpected, yet wonderful surprise visit from a friend today. A friend who I havent seen in 12 years. Someone who, until recently, I didnt even talk to. Someone I never thought I would see or talk to again! (THANKS Facebook....) She and I were once inseperable. We were roommates, then friends, then best friends, then sisters! She was my Laverne, my Ethel, my Thelma! Then something happened and we parted ways. We missed eachothers weddings, the births of our kids...those special events in our lives that we always thought we would be a part of.

We all have friends. Some we see and talk to more than others. Some that are our bestest friends in the whole wide world and some that we consider an aquaintance.  Some that come into our lives and never, ever leave and some that only stop by for the occasional visit. True friendship, no matter what label you put on it, will stand the test of time. All it takes is a phone call, email, text message, facebook post, to say "Hi. How are you?" or "I'm sorry".

So, to my dearest friend...It was great to see you today! I hope next time we can chat for longer and catch up on life.

I Am D-O-N-E!!

I LOVE being pregnant. I've been lucky and have had the 3 best pregnancies ever. No morning sickness, no diabetes, no high blood pressure or bed rest and no delivery complications! I have been blessed! (As my husband puts it, I was meant to have babies). I really never complained about anything....BUT this time, right now, with 6 weeks left...I'm done!! I'm ready for them to come out! I'm tired of the heartburn, the getting up 3 times a night to go to the bathroom, the way I am out of breath walking up or down the stairs! I am tired of being tired! I know I sound selfish but that's how I feel! Don't get me wrong, I hope they stay in there til they are good and ready to come out. And I'm sure these next 6 weeks will fly by and everything that we have planned and need to finish will help. And I know once this time passes and I start to think back, I will miss this time. I will miss being pregnant and feeling the way I feel now. I will miss feeling the babies kick and move around. I will miss hearing their heartbeats. I will miss the miracles growing inside. I will miss it all....
