I am still here!

When I got on my blog this morning I realized it had been a couple of weeks since my last post.  I just don't understand how the time can pass so quickly but feel like it is passing so slowly.

I am still pregnant and now into my 32 week, which is just amazing.  Babies seem to be doing great.  They are moving around a lot and always do really well at my weekly non-stress tests.  Next Monday will be another ultrasound to see how big they are.  I am still on complete bed rest, but the end is getting closer.  I did have to do the three hour glucose test, which was unpleasant, but hopefully everything is ok there.

We have had some sadness.  Last weekend one of our sweet cats got very very sick, had to spend the weekend at the vet, and ended up not making it.  It was really horrible.  This was the cat that had spent the last couple of months glued to my side, keeping me warm and calm as I rested in bed.  She loved to eat watermelon and steal salad.  She drank water exclusively from the faucet or cups.  She was dearly loved and brought both my husband and I a lot of entertainment and joy.  She will be sorely missed.

This weekend was also a year since our twin daughters Wilma and Hannah were born too early.  It was a sad and reflective day.  My mom bought some beautiful daffodils and I did a lot of reflecting and remembering.  My husband and I talked some about how we were feeling and I allowed myself to feel sad when I needed too, and also get distracted with other things when I needed too. 

On a more upbeat note, we are getting much more prepared for these babies arrival.  We now have car seats, a co-sleeper for them to sleep in, bath things, swaddling blankets, and enough newborn clothes that they won't be naked!  We also have packed a bag to take to the hospital.  I am feeling excited and overwhelmed about how things are going to go in the next couple of weeks.  I think because there are a lot of things that I can not control, I have been feeling a little anxious about a few things I do some control over, such as names (we have not decided on any yet), what to put on our registry, and who to use for a pediatrician.

You are missed sweet girl.
