A little early

I’m pretty anxious for Christmas season so I put up my holiday layout…I wished I could put my tree and decorations up but everyones telling me I need to wait. I love this time of year.

The kids had a great Halloween this year. Taylor filled up both of her buckets with goodies. Taylor dressed up as Tinkerbell, Kira was a kitty, and Aidan was a lion. Alan took them out since I had to work and there wasn’t any time off available at work. The kids are getting so big so fast, time is just flying by.


Work is going good. I got a 4% raise a couple months ago and my 1st anniversary is coming up in January. On January 18th I will receive 4 weeks vacation and I’ll be planning a trip to Disneyland with the kids sometime in March. I haven’t been there since I was 10 years old. I’m taking this coming Saturday off with Justin. I can’t wait :) We’re doing really well. We’ve been spending a lot of time together and the other weekend we both took Saturday and Sunday off and we had a picnic with the kids and when we weren’t with the kids.. well, you know :P He is fantastic!

I have the day off today. I have a goal today..get off my rump and workout. I need to get some pictures of the apartment so you all can see my dwelling :) , that will be fun to share. I need to find my battery charge first. I have no idea where I put it when I unpacked my bags when I got home from Florida.

Moving

I don’t update this site often…I’m either on myspace or Facebook…But heres the deal. I’m moving next Sunday…the 15th into my new apartment with my kids. I’m very excited about moving on with my life and even though we’re moving out, Alan and and I will still see each other daily cause the kids.

Oh, and heres a new wishlist I made…I’ll let you know when the party is :)

Good news

I was sitting on the couch and got a call. I got the job :heart: I have to get a drug test and a background check and I’ll be working in about a week. I’m not telling anyone where I’m working. I think its just better this way.

I entered into a contest called, “Worst school picture ever!” I won the contest. Now, is it because of my hair, the glasses, or just cause I was one hell of an ugly girl? Go visit Petroville and take a look at the votes and the picture I used. I won a $20 amazon card and some hair goodies! Thanks MommaK!
Ok..time to run. Aidan is awake.

The not so short story.

Go visit PantherGirl..shes awesome and I have her as my tenant this week :D :D
I have a lot of emails to send out to thank everyone for the awesome comments!! I have been trying to keep it all together over here because my babies aren’t with me and I seem to be having issues healing. I am feeling pretty anxious about that. I am hoping I haven’t developed toxemia. It can happen within 2 weeks after giving birth my doctor said. I am having backaches to were I can’t stand much and I cant walk and talk …it hurt to breath cause its like my back muscles cant stretch. I’ll be going in to see my doctor in the morning to see whats wrong. I am scared…and my hormones I am sure aren’t helping me one bit.

The babies might come home Monday. This weekend we will be trained to do CPR and use the moniter they will hook up to the babies. It will track their vital signs..Kira has been having some low heart rates at night but they said they are full term babies and it should go away soon. Theres so much to write about but I dont feel like getting into everything. I am tired.

So here’s the story. Thursday I went in for my NST and I was contracting every 2-3 minutes but I never felt them. They checked my cervix and I was dialated 3 cm. They almost gave me tributaline but I said no..whats the point? There is no garauntee it would help. I went home and the nurse said if I felt better to come in and have my cervix checked when I felt I needed because she wouldnt be surprised if I ended up back there soon. I really didn’t want to risk having to go through full blown labor with a breech baby coming out. So I go home….

Friday morning at 6am Alan left to take Taylor to preschool and go to work. I called him 3 minutes after he left and I am glad I did. I said, please come home..I just need to go to the hospital..I feel really uneasy being home 10 hours and not feeling contractions and knowing I am dialating. I’d be alone and screwed if something happened. So he turned around and I got in the car and we drove the 35 minutes to the hospital.

I walk into the triage and tell the lady I need to have my cervix checked..I was 36 weeks pregnant with twins and everything. I get into my room and could you believe I dialted to 5 cm?! I told them I would rather be safe than sorry and either be admitted or see if they can deliver me as son as possible. 10 minutes later they walked in the room and said,” we talked with the doctor on call and he will meet you in the delivery room to meet your babies at 10:30, you better get your stuff and get your IV in, get prepped cause we don’t have a lot of time!” That was at 9am. I was like…OH MY GOD..Are you kidding? It was a shock and I was scared but felt relief. It was Birth Day!!
I won’t go into the birth except to say this…The last 15 minutes or so I was alone in the operating room, they had Alan follow the babies, I was scared..starting to have the shakes, and my mind was going crazy. I know this sounds funny but I heard the radio they turned on as they were finishing closing my incision and Depeche Mode was on the radio..I was like Awesome!! Turn it UP. It gaved me a couple minutes to forget everything. I thought itwas cool. The recovery room was 2 hours of loneliness…i couldnt stop shaking and they tried demoral..and then tried something else. Finally they calmed and went away.

One of the nurses I had during surgery was the jerk who drew blood and gave me that nasty bruise a couple weeks ago. Thankfully she didn’t do my IV..lol

I was only able to see a glimpse of the babies. I didn’t get to see them for a whole day after and because they were under the oxygen hoods I coulnd’t hold them. It was pretty hard. Finally the second day I got to touch them and hold them . They have been getting better but they had their ups and downs. They both had jaundice as expected and are better.

I have more pictures to show but they are on my sister-in-laws camera and when she gets home she will burn them to disc and send them. Alan and I didn’t have my camera :(

I need to get my rest. Soon I will email you all thank yous!! I don’t think I will be on here to update as often until I feel better. Plus the percocet and Motrin keep me pretty drowsy. I’ll update as soon as I can :P
