Sorry I have been MIA guys. I feel guilty for even saying this, but I have been pretty dang depressed lately. I think iot's a combo of feeling badly and also being overwhelmed. I have so much to be grateful for, so I feel as if being down is ridiculous, but I can't help it. Also, due to some major nerve pain problems, it is hard to be online for more than a few minutes. I have developed carpal tunnel and my back aches and hands puff up after typing for just a few minutes also. I guess it brings back memoreis of when I hurt my neck back in 1999 and it took the docs until 2005 to diagnose the fact that I had a fractured vertebra and a herniated disc. (I had fusion surgery in Dec 05). I have also been freaking out about delivering too early. I am 22 weeks along, and it is so hard to imagine that the babies will be here so soon.
I guess I seem to be getting a bit better now mentally and physically, so hopefully I can be more communicative form now on. But I wondered if any of you guys had gone through this or are going through it now. If so, did it go away fairly fast?
I need to catch up with so many folks I don't know where to start, but here's my latest update. I have an OB appt. next Thursday and hope all will look good, as it did for my last appt. a couple of weeks ago. ( I was supposed to go last week but cancelled due to feeling badly.) Baby girl Cadence was weighing in at 12 oz. and baby boy Henry at 13 oz! This is great, because at 19 weeks the average weight is 9 oz. I am 22 weeks now, and am hoping they get as big as they can b/c I am sure to deliver before 40 weeks. In fact, I have a c-section scheduled for Oct. 12 (around 37-38 weeks), but who knows if I will make it to that. I haven't had any problems at all to indicate an early delivery, but that is what is worrying me most thesedays. I figure if I can make it to a MINIMUM of 32 weeks things should be OK, but I am just not sure if even then there would be major problems.
I am just sleeping a lot and laying low. We started renovations to add on another room to the house, and they are coming along GREAT. I feel a bit behind, as I desparately need to clean out the room that will be the nursery but have been to tired/in pain. Time is passing rather quickly, so I better get it together!!!!!
I hope all you guys (and babies, and lil' beans) are doing great, and I have missed you all.
