31 Weeks...and counting!

Another week under our belt...yeah!! Our next appointment is Tuesday, so we have to see what happens then. At our last appointment, we were sent straight to the hospital for an overnight visit to monitor my crazy high blood pressure. I was sent home after 24 hours because all the other tests they ran looked normal. We were at the hospital again a few days ago because I was feeling unusual pressure in my pelvis. Turns out, that is part of the package, and Mateo is just very low. We were sent home within a couple hours, phew!! I much prefer sleeping in my own bed! (By the way, that is 4 hospital visits so far, with 2 sleepovers!)

So, I have spent three full weeks on bedrest now, and I have developed some unusual preferences. The following is a list of things that I can not live with out right now:

• Pillows-I'm talking tons of pillows, surrounding my whole body (Adrian still gets one, too!)
• Straws-Have you ever tried to drink anything while lying down??
• Tums-heartburn...crazy heartburn
• Peppermint Extra Gum-There is just something so good about it!! I can't really explain.
• Cran-Grape Juice-Again, can't really explain how good it tastes!
• Netflix-Why didn't I ever do this before...probably because I wasn't spending all day on the couch or in bed!!
• DVR-It's amazing how many shows I can tape and watch the next day...even reruns!!
• Wireless Internet/Laptop-Oh, I would be so bored if I couldn't check my email and update my netflix account from the couch...online dominoes are fun too!!

Of course, the support from Adrian, my mom, sisters, family and friends have been amazing. Adrian continues to do his best to make sure the house is running properly. My sisters and mom make sure we are fed and stocked with what ever we need. My nieces and nephews provide me with much needed distraction and company. My friends have also come to visit, or call regularly and assure me that life outside this house is still happening, much to my surprise!! I know that there are a lot of people looking forward to these babies...we can hardly wait!!

I tried to add a voting poll to the blog, it should be working soon...remember to vote for when you think the boys will be here. This will likely be the most important vote you cast all year, so let your voice be heard!!!!
