Progressing Well - 27 weeks 3 days!

I went to the Doctor on Monday afternoon and thankfully got to hear the babies heart beats. The ultra sound results were discussed and I was told that the babies are both growing. My blood-pressure is fine but I forgot to ask what the results were from my glucose test. I assume all is ok since the Doctor was reading all the papers in my file as he was chatting with me.

My Doctor is very happy with how my pregnancy is progressing. On the weight gain front, I have gained about 10 pounds. These two are taking all the calories from me, it seems! Don't get me wrong, you can see that I am VERY pregnant. It's just all in my belly.

The thing is I am very tired and find it hard to work full time and be a good wife and mama. So, I asked the doctor what he thought about the work situation, and he advised me to keep at it for another three to four weeks, which doesn't seem completely unreasonable.

I got most of my x-mas shopping done over the weekend. Costco had a great selection of toys and The Choldren's Place had a huge 30% off everything sale. We just have to buy for our son and our parents. Stathis usually gets his stocking, a big gift from us and a big gift from Santa. I'm waiting to see what he puts on his wish list.

The nursery is our next big project and we have to buy the babies their car seats/carriers and stroller. We also have to visit my cousin who is loaning us a cradle and giving me her swing and high chair and exer-saucer. And then, we will be just about ready for these two little ones to join the craziness that is our lives. I can't wait! (I mean, I can wait - please stay in until 37 weeks!!!) but I can't wait - you know what I mean.

Some things I am loving right now that aren't related to pregnancy: The X-Factor! Anyone else watching it? I love everything about the show - the judges, the contestents, the fighting. Real Housewives of New Jersey! Jersey Shore! (I have no idea why I like these shows - as I watch them I tell myself to stop, but I can't!) and my new Keurig machine. It makes the best coffee! And yes, I sill have one cup a day - the rest are decaf!

Take Care!
