As it turns out having twins means not having time to maintain multiple different web sites and blog pages.  So I have consolidated and will be updating only on my main page: http://aeglaeca.org (RSS feed on the right.)

Thanks for visiting!

I can no longer wear socks or shoes.  My ankles are so swollen that it's hard to even flex at the ankle.  Austin and I have to run to Wal-mart so I will be wearing my mocosains because they are the only things I can get on.  I refuse to buy bigger shoes since I'm sure (hoping) my feet and ankles will return to normal after delivery.

Jose is still playing warcraft and completely oblivious to anything going on around him.  I seriously think I will have to block his internet connection to illicit any help from him at all next week.

Katey thinks I'm fat and I think Austin is more worried about me going to the hospital than anything else.

Sleep is basically a luxury of the past... I can get a little rest if I try to sleep in the recliner but it's hard to get in and out of for the hourly bathroom calls.

I think I have everything ready for the babies.  I even bought a mini-van this week!  I traded in my Optima for a Sedona.  Now I not only look like a bus, I drive one as well!

I got some new books to read over the next couple months and we still haven't worked out our daycare situation but I guess I've got some time to figure it out.

We still need some cribs and a double stroller.  Not sure what else yet.  Probably some more clothes since I'd been getting alot of preemie sized stuff thinking the twins would be smaller.  But at 36 weeks 1 day the peri said they were both over 7 pounds... which means by 37 weeks 2 days when they are delivered they could both be 8 pound babies!

That's all for now.... counting down til Friday!
