Silly Sciatica at 28 weeks!

Well, now I really feel pregnant! Looks like I have developed Sciatica- the babies may be pushing on something that is pushing on my Sciatic nerve, causing severe pains from my back to hip and all down my right leg. My right foot has been numb for 3 days now. I have faith that this pain will eventually ease, but it is not looking like I will be able to go back to work full-time :(. Fortunately, the babies are doing great and unaffected by this silly Sciatica! Everything happens for a reason, so maybe it is time I lay low and let these babies cook for the remaining 8-10 weeks. They say twins come early, however, we will try to keep them in my belly up to a least 37 weeks to assure good health and size. Thank you to everyone for your support, it really means a lot to us. And a special THANK YOU to my wonderful husband, who is now my personal assistant. I will know more when I see my doctor next week. Til then... :)

Twin Belly at 6.5 Months!

Wow! I am FINALLY feeling what it is like to be pregnant! The babies are growing so perfect, we couldn't be any more blessed. AND, I have such a wonderful husband who has assumed all the responsibilities that I am no longer "allowed" to do. I am on minimal bed rest- just a caution to be extra careful. Kaiser calls me every Wednesday morning to monitor my contractions and see how I am feeling. So far so good. Our next BIG ultrasound is February 21st. We are considering getting a 3D ultrasound, too... Just to see! The babies are moving more than ever. We can now see the kicks and flips! So wonderful~but getting so big, my moving is becoming more difficult. I am determined to hang in there full-term. We want healthy babies! More soon! xoxox
