optimistic
Yesterday the little boys were kicking and swimming away in there a lot! Of course when I tried to share the experience with Shaunna last night they quieted down and she didn’t get to feel them. It’s a different feeling lately, very gurgling- like I can actually feel them swimming around and doing summersaults. I like it but it’s really strange feeling.
Only one more month of work. I’ve found some good candidates for my replacement and hope to start interviews next week. I’m excited by the kind of responses I’ve received and think I have a pretty good idea who will get/want the job.I just got news that we close on the house today (selling the house in Bedford)! This is excellent. There are some downsides but I’m trying not to harp on them too much and focus just on the fact that we are selling the house before I quit working. Looks like Dusty and I will be spending our weekly date night driving to Temple after work because the title company waited too long and has to have it all finalized by today for the buyers financing to go through. Temple is about 45 minutes away but Dusty says it’s only 30 minutes for him (Miata drivers).
I spent the first trimester of the pregnancy researching and learning all about the possibilities that come along with a twin pregnancy being high risk. Just reading about a c-section made me cry. Learning about all the NICU (Neo-natal Intensive Care Unit) equipment and what it does what made me cry and appreciate the beauty of technology and medical science today. I cried out a lot of fears and expectations. You can never be ready for everything but I feel better now that I have a much better idea of what may come and how it is handled.
I’ve been following the blogs of other twin parents; those who already have twins and those pregnant with twins. One woman’s journey has been especially heroic to me as she’s struggled to keep the twins from coming too early with weeks of bedrest, medication, struggles with the insurance company, etc. I think about her and her boy and girl twins (the two J’s) a lot and pass on prayers to all women going through a similar experience. I’ve learned a lot from her and just have to believe those two littles ones will hold on long enough to be born in their right time.
