I have been craving fresh spinach and pine nuts. I have not have any spinach in two days. I am actually losing sleep over it. I will have to go get some in the morning. Amazingly, I have managed to convince myself that fresh cooked spinach can go with any meal even it is peanut butter and jelly. This craving has been going on for about two months. I like this craving much better than spicy chicken sandwiches from Chick-Fil-A.
We are working on the babies room slowly but things are starting to come together. I am having curtains, blankets, sheets and diaper hangers made for their room. I am very excited to get exactly what I want. Alan has built one baby bed. It is absolutely beautiful. I have insisted that he wait until the girls arrive to build the second one. He will be off work for a week and will need something to do. Alan has also built a changing table. Blythe has been climbing on it to get her diaper changed. (Speaking of Blythe in a diaper - she will be getting a diaper only when she sleeps when she gets back from Grammie and Pops' house).
I have been having some pain in my pelvic area. I have to sit down to put my pants, socks or shoes on. I can't sweep (FINALLY, I have an excuse!!). I have to keep my legs together to turn over in bed or to get out of the car. If I do too much I can tell a difference in how much I have to waddle to get around. This past Friday I hurt myself and it felt like my whole pelvic area was being ripped apart. I could barely walk and when I did I had to take tiny steps. Grammie came and got Blythe so I have been able to rest. I feel much better now! Refreshed and ready to start potty training Blythe when she gets home!
Lately, I have learned to truly appreciate people feeling compelled to tell me how big I look. Not really. I can't imagine saying telling someone they are "huge", look like they could be "due any day" or look like they are "expecting twins". No one wants to hear any of those things even if they are true! I am actually thankful for people who don't talk to strangers. It is a rule that adults should also follow.
I am still having a lot of trouble imagining the future. I can't imagine what it will be like to have Blythe and two infants. I am glad that my mom and sister are going to come help me. I know their support will help me deal with this huge change. I can't imagine going to the grocery store with them or anywhere actually. I have looked at double strollers but I can't even imagine going on a walk with three kids. It is very overwhelming to dream about for me. I hope dealing with it when it happens is easier.
Twin A and Twin B's clothes are folded and hung. Now we just have to decide on names so the monogramming can begin.
