Miserable Day

For the last couple of days I have been battling a toothache, today was my last straw. I woke up in such pain that Tylenol and orajel isn't helping...so I made a dentist appointment for Monday morning..can't wait..it's a wisdom tooth that needs to come out and I've just been putting it off so now I have to live in pain for a couple more days. Shawn's doctor appt to have this thing removed from his finger got cancelled again...for the second time..this doctor's office is a PITA! He was not happy. Then to top things off we had our check up/ultrasound with the specialist this morning..and guess what...we got our favorite (not) ultrasound tech..she is so horrible..no pictures at all..not even one and when she scans she hurts you. I know I have a little extra fat but come on, when she's done I feel bruised. On a good note the boys are both doing great. Logan weighed in at 2lbs 12oz with a heart rate at 141 and Mason was 2lbs. 10oz with a heart rate of 141. Doctor said they are both where they should be..a little small but he's not too worried. We go back in three weeks for another check up and go from there. Probably not too many more since today's visit I am 29weeks and 4days. Logan is still head down and Mason is still breech, so so far it's not looking good for a normal birth. This "modified bed rest" thing must be working for me at least. The doctor wanted me to stay off my feet, eat, drink and don't stress..well I'm trying my best. I'm up 5lbs in 2 weeks! So overall I've gained a total of 7lbs! Now the stressing thing..that's a different story. It's just different stresses. I'm off work and don't know when I'll see my first disability check..prob not till January and Shawn was just informed that he will be off work the week after Christmas for shut down and that's unpaid...so now it's just money stresses! Well got another doctor's appointment tomorrow morning with the regular OB office so we will see what they say!

Off Work

Had a check up at the OBGYN today. Heart beats were both good and I'm measuring at 40 weeks already!! That's so funny. I still have only gained a total of 2 pounds. This sunday I will be 28 weeks along and I started to have a lot of contractions this past week while I was at work and on my feet all day. Work can get a little hectic when we have a busy doctor in. The doctor took one look at me today and could tell that I was done..lol She has officially taken me off of work till after the babies are born. She would like me to sit and rest more, eat more and drink more. She also thinks being home will ease some of the stress and may help with the contractions. We go back to the OB in 2 weeks...the day after we see the specialist again. I know it's good for the babies but now I am stressed about money and being able to pay all of our bills. I do have AFLAC but I'm not sure how well it pays and when exactly I will get my first check from them. So now I have a different kind of stress to deal with until I know for sure that we can make it. As for now Im going to try to relax and enjoy this weekend! My baby shower is this sunday and I can't wait to see all my friends and family gathered together..minus a few that can't be there (please pray for my cousin, whom is in the hospital with the H1N1)
