last night they gave me an ambien to help me sleep through my sinus infection and sore throat. it worked. i think i only woke up once. my body is starting to wake up on its own at 7:30 everyday and its perfect so that i can shower before my NST.
the morning NST went great. the boys stayed on the entire time and looked perfect. doc hennessey popped in and said he was so impressed with how the boys are looking. we talked about how excited we are for the growth ultrasound monday, plus he said he would order me a zpak. they keep changing who they call baby a and b. apparently baby a is always who is closest to cervix. so for all of our sanity, i am going to keep calling the baby that was smaller and struggled for a little bit baby b. lately i noticed baby b's baseline on the NST is lower (130s-140s) while baby a's baseline has stayed in the 150s and he has tons of accels. no one is concerned with it. but this is the only change i have noticed lately. you can see both babies heart rates in the blue area and see how one is staying higher than the other (way down at the bottom is what monitors contractions, contractions look like waves on the screen)
cal came and brought me lunch after the NST was over. he brought a sandwich from some place called frussie's?! no idea. not bad though. we ate and i begged him for the new iPhone which he promises he's working on getting. apparently calling him daddy warbucks and santa isn't speeding up the process :( i literally have to delete pictures to take pictures on my current phone and i've had enough. not to mention my phone is what i do ALL DAY LONG up here. so i spent this morning backing up all my photos and videos so i can easily transition to a new one. and NO. i didn't use the cloud. does anyone on this damn planet understand the cloud? honestly. its like in math when we had to do imaginary numbers. that doesn't work with me. i need concrete things that exist. i don't add and subtract imaginary numbers and i don't put the whole first year of my son's life in an imaginary cloud.
after cal left i started panicking all the sudden about the twins having no clothes. simms had a full wardrobe at this point. with the twins i didn't know i was pregnant until i was 12 weeks. on top of that, mono/mono twins have a 50/50 life expectancy…so then i didn't want to buy a bunch of stuff not knowing if they would make it. THEN after they got to viability (24 weeks) baby b was measuring so small and they thought he might not make it. so i have been trying to be realistic and not dumb. ever since i heard he was small i bought a couple newborn outfits for them that coordinate but don't match (again in case something happens to one baby, plus i don't want them to match anyways) here lately i am getting more optimistic about them then i have started thinking i need to get some clothes for them. this preemie thing is hard though because i know that they will be preemies when they are born, but i don't know how fast they will grow and at what point in the year they will wear what size clothes. at the beach, before i came inpatient, i bought them and simms some clothes at fitz & emme and gigi's… the cutest stores! but i bought them newborn clothes since they didn't have preemie. so today in a panic i got on kickee pants website and ordered a couple preemie outfits. they have the cutest solid baby clothes and are made of the most amazing material you have ever felt. my mom got them each a white onesie in italy that is for preemies too! so now they both have 3 outfits hahaha! I'm sure it'll be a while before they can even wear clothes after they're born anyways, but this is the kind of bullshit i worry about up here day to day. YES. i need to get a life.
i thought about ordering myself some more maternity leggings too since the hospital has suddenly become a polar vortex these last few days, but i gotta keep the hus happy, especially since he brings me a lot of dinners (i love you babe) so those will wait ;) my bff hallie was talking to me about having an open house hospital baby shower up here the other day and told me to start registering online. so thats my next plan for today. noooooot a lot going on up here today.
i finally got so cold that i went to go walk outside and warm up. as usual some jackasses were standing outside smoking next to the "no smoking" sign.. i should've taken a pic but i was too pissed. i'm one of those people that will say nothing and after it happens over and over and over, i'll snap. so y'all can get excited waiting for the blog when i snap and go off on people smoking outside of a HOSPITAL beside a "no smoking" sign.
my mom is meeting cal up here with simms shortly and hopefully bringing dinner! hope everyone has a great saturday! so sad i'm not at my friend shelley's wedding in charleston today but wishing her and kent the most happiest of days! xoxo
