Thanks Totoro, Jennifer, Lisa and Andy. Lisa it does sound like we have the same issues. With easy child T, I started having contractions at 20 weeks, and was in the hospital at 30 week in labor. Dilated to 7 before they got it stopped.
I can't imagine doing this without the support I have. With easy child T we lived with my in laws so I had help then too. When my sister had her twins, she went on total bed rest at 11 weeks, and stayed there until the twins were born at 35 weeks. My mom took family leave to be at home with her, Jennee had 3 other kids at the time.
The kids have been pretty good so far, we have been preparing them for this since we told them I was pregnant, letting them know that mommy might have to sit alot, and not do much.
What is really getting to me right now is I'm soooo tired. I've been falling asleep by 8 PM every night, sleeping til around 1 AM, up for an hour or 2 and sleeping until 6 AM. Last night I was asleep by 7:30, and slept until 5 AM. I haven't gotten to spend any time with Mike at all. He leaves Monday through Saturday at 6 AM and comes home at 9 PM. He is off on Sundays now, so I'll get to spend today with him. Makes me feel guilty. Moonwolf and Mo have taken over alot of the house hold stuff that I did, and some that he did also, so that takes a bit off of him. Because of my back issues, he will not (even before the pregnancy) let me do the laundry, because I can't carry it up and down the stairs. He usually does laundry all day Sunday. Moonwolf and Mo have the laundry all caught up, nothing for him to do today except carry the last load upstairs. easy child T folds it and they all put it away, and easy child S and difficult child J keep the dishes done up and put away, for the most part. A 7 yr old doing dishes results in some having to be redone, but that is ok
Jennifer, I still wanna go on the party bus LOL A couple days lying on the beach would be great!!
Andy, glad you like the names. I love them. We actually don't have a Caroline or Logan in the family yet, which is surprising, as my grandmother told me the other night that this baby brings her total up to 30 grandchildren, great grandchildren, and great great grandchildren! The scary part of that is my sister, myself, and our kids equal 12 of those 30!!!!! LOL
Hugs to all, and many many thanks
Janis
