Stuff

I've had a couple of rough weeks at work.  It's had nothing to do with the pregnancy.  Everything remains good there.  In fact, I've just started feeling more distinctive movement in the past 24hour.  How exciting!
It's been a very stressful couple of work weeks.  I have a very small staff at my clinic, and one just quit.  Everyone has a right to move to another job, I've just been so pissed off that he didn't give me more warning.  It's not like I can just keep the babies in and continue to work!  I am aware that this is MY problem, and not my staff member's.
The worst part about this is that my plan of slowly decreasing my work duties has failed.  So I have to accept a very busy April and half of May.  I really do hope that I can physically handle it, so that I'm not constantly living in stress now.  I had a stupid busy day last week and I was so tired and sore by the end of the day.  I then was unable to sleep and it made the rest of the week so difficult.  It's a little hard to imagine how I'll feel in another month, let alone another 2-3 months!  The positive thing is, someone who worked for me in the past is going to come back.   She can't come until mid-May but either way, I will love this girl forever!
Anyway, everything had been going so smoothly for me, so I guess I'm just disappointed that any negativity has crept into my head.  I guess I've just come back to reality really.
But important thing is, babies are good.  They're moving and growing.
Oh and I had a client ask me when I was due last week and when I said end of June (I never actually admit my due date is July 30 since that's not an accurate twin due date) she said "I thought you looked like you could go any day now".  I love it!  (and I'm not THAT big yet - 20lbs gained which is right on par for twins).
Next up, growth scan March 24th.

Anatomy Scan and such

Everything apparently looked good at our anatomy scan.  The reporting software was down so we had the Dr. who reviews the u/s tell us all was well but that she wanted another couple of scans of Baby B's face as she didn't like the ones the tech took.  So we go back again next week.
Our Dr. didn't have the report obviously so I don't know weights or anything that I'd like to know.  Although, since we go next week I suppose I'll be able to get that then.
We are definitely having 2 boys.  It was pretty obvious when the u/s tech showed up the views.   It's pretty cute to see that.
I also loved seeing how much bigger they are.  And the details in their hands and feet.  And Baby A drinking up the amniotic fluid (gross, I know) seeing his little jaw work and the fluid go down his throat.  All cool stuff.
I've finished my "wish list" and know brand names and such that I want now.  Now I wait impatiently for sales to see when I can purchase these items.
I did get my twin breast feeding pillow and twin belt in the mail so one purchase.  The belt feels fantastic, even though I don't really need it yet.  I bought pressure relief stockings as well since I've had some swelling over the past 2 weeks.  It's early for swelling but I am on my feet most of the day so it's not that surprising.  My blood pressure is nice and low so the swelling seems unrelated to that.
Really, all's well..
