I went to the doctor yesterday and my labs came out well. I had them check my cholesterol because it had been about 7-8 years and my mom and brother recently have been told theirs is high. My brother was actually put on medication so I thought I seriously needed to get it checked. To my surprise it is within the normal range..175. They took 7 vials of blood for all my tests….I don’t remember them taking so much before with Taylor.
Another thing she told me is scaring the shit out of me. If one of the babies is breech I will have an automatic c-section. No trying to have a natural birth at all. I am seriously afraid of a c-section..I am so scared about it. I have seen one done on a surgery show and one of my fears is surgery. The pain…The operating room..the possible risks. Maybe I need to see a counselor about it because I am terrified 
I’d rather jump out of an airplane. I don’t want to be on loopy pain meds and have internal stitches and staples….I won’t be able to go up my stairs in the house..So I would have to make a bed downstairs..I couldn’t carry the babies until they told me it is safe and I can’t take a real shower. So….wish me luck the heads are both down in position so I don’t have to worry about it.
I asked the doctor when she thinks I will be off of work and she told me she will have me off of work at 28-30 weeks. 3 months before my due date..and then I’ll have my 3 month maternity leave. I will be off of work for 6 months!! Alan and I are trying to figure out how we can afford it. There are so many things to think about and it is getting a little overwhelming.
I have my Depecehe Mode tickets 
I can’t wait until the night comes!!! The new album is really good too. It has a lot of old sound too it. I want to put some on my radio blog but I don’t have a converter to change the format. Oh well. I need to go back to sleep.
What a cute spot you have here..
Congrats on the babies..

I am so very happy to hear that you’re blood work all came back healthy & good.
I wish you much luck, I hope the babies heads are pointing downwards so that you don’t have to have a c-section. I agree with you, I wouldn’t want a c-section either, I am also scared of surgery. damn I really hope it doesn’t have to go that route.
I miss you lost babe, I am very sorry I am not online much anymore. I am at work again, lol… Seems like evertime I am home, all I do is watch TV. I guess it isn’t my fault much because when I get home Rich is on the computer & when he gets off & goes to bed I am tired & go to bed also, lol… so the last thing on my mind is the computer. Damn working is making me so tired, as I bet it’s doing the same thing to you also.
Anyway before I write a friggin’ novel here, I will say bye bye babe, I love you sweetie, take care. *MUAH*
Oh, don’t fret the C-section girl. I know it’s a scary thought. Hell, I think I cried as they wheeled me down to the operating room. But, when it was all said and done, I was like, ‘THAT was it?’ I wont lie, it hurts the next morning- but what surgery doesnt? I was up and moving and doing any thing I wanted by the end of the week. It wont make you any different toward your babies. It’s a wonderful process, just as it should be! (Dont hesiate to email me if you have any questions!)
Chelle, I had a c-section and believe me it is waaaay easier than a vaginal birth. My first born was 10 lbs and I thought I was going to die. I had such a hard time. They thought my daughter was going to be large also (she was only 7#3oz. They said it might be best to do a c-section. I was freaked. I wont go into the details on here but email me and I’ll tell you what to expect.
I have 3 kids and my first and last where c-section, and I was scared to death each time but it really isn’t bad . The worst part I agree was the next day but I didnt even take pain meds when I went home.Honestly from experience I think the c-section was way easier the hard part about it was the longer stay at the hosp. since I had to leave my other kids at home. Good luck and I hope the heads are down for ya!!!!!!!!!
I didn’t realize so many of you had c-sections!! You are BRAVE and I would love to hear all your advice and what I may expect from it. I think its the fact of having surgery and the after pain. Jenny, 10#!! You are a tiny woman! dang. I was talking with a co-worker and she said she was in the hospital for 5 days to recover. Is that the standard time?
I had a c-section and I was really freaked out becuase I thought alot of things you do but actually its not so much like that. I was fully concious I had a spinal so I was numb but i was wide awake. the staples and stiches thing wasnt so bad I was really scared when they wanted to take them out because i thought i would hurt but actually i didnt even feel it at all. Also the day after my c-setion I was able to shower I had my husband go in and wait in the bathroom though cause I was scared somthing would happen or i would hurt myself but again i was fine it was a little uncomfortable but not excruciating. Also you can hold your babies at first when your sitting or laying but by the time you get home you should be fine to carry them or hold them maybe not for a long ammount of time but you should still be able to. also the scar is low (well mine is you can request where you want yours and how they do it) its not extreemly noticable and its low enough so under ware cover it even most low rise ones. any way I hope this helps because I know sothing like this can be very freaky. I wish you the best of luck!!!
I know its overwhelming but just try not to stress yourself out about it. Take it one beautiful day at a time Chelle.
I’d be scared to have a c-section too. It’s funny how a lot of Mom’s would rather have them… but not me. Hopefully you won’t have to worry about it tho. But I guess whatevers best for the babies.
Wouldn’t you be able to get disability money if they don’t pay you for you maternity leave? I know they do that here.
It all depends on the state, insurance plan, and the company you work for.
I am getting information from my book keeper and they have changes the plan two times since I had Taylor in 2002. I think I can recieve up to 6 months disabilty at 60% of my wage if my doctor gives a note of complete bed rest. I will also recieve my maternity leave at 60% of my wage. I do have to make sure my paperwork is filled out prior to going on bed rest…so I kinda of have to have an idea when that will happen. I will go ahead and submit it in Feb. or March to be safe..I don’t want them screwing me and tell me I was too late to submit.
Firstly, if I haven’t said it before now, CONGRATS ON YOUR PREGNANCY! I am elated to hear that your results came in well, that’s wondeful news.
The thought of having an C section may seem a little overwhelming, but try not to freak yourself over it just yet…try not to assume the worst. If you have to have one, make sure to talk to your doctor about any issues/concerns/fears you have, as well as your friends. You may be surprised at how you handle things when you are presented with them, you might be freaked out now, but you may find that you pull through with a high degree of bravery if the situation occurs.
Oh, and I agree with Tai tai…just take things one day at a time.
