Well Well

Wow, pregnancy is getting very difficult lately. I was talking with someone the other day, and she asked me how much the babies weighed last time I went in. They were about 2.3 each, which is at the very least by now 5 lbs of baby. 5 lbs is almost full term for most women. Which made me realize I am starting to feel the effects of being full term. The weight, the contractions (BH), the tiredness, the pressure. Just everything. I still have quite a while to go too. It's crazy.

This last week at work has just been hellish. I realized my body was just telling me I needed to slow down. So Friday I told them I couldn't work anymore. We actually came up with a really good solution though. I'm just going to cut down my hours--2.5 hours 4 days a week. Possibly a little bit more if I work on Wednesdays too, which is just the planning days. I sit almost the entire time on Wednesdays. We have to run it by the principal on Monday to be sure it's OK, but the teacher doesn't think it will be an issue what so ever. That way I still get to work a little bit, I can take it easier, and they still get the help they need at least to get them through to Christmas break. As of Christmas break I won't work at the preschool anymore though. Which was sort of the plan anyway. So I am happy about that. I actually feel very relieved and I know it's what my body needs. These 6.5 - 7 hour days were really starting to effect my body. If it were a job that I just sat the entire time, I would just get through it. Mainly because I would know I wasn't exerting my body, but working at the preschool I was moving the entire time. Standing up and sitting down, chasing kids, getting on the floor and getting up again, sitting in those little bitty chairs, it was just too much. So, it was a great compromise.

We have a class with the midwife today. I wouldn't be surprised if she does do an ultra sound just because of the whole hospital thing. I know at the very least we'll hear the heart beats which I always love:) I doubt we'll get a u/s though, she has a hard time reading them with twins lol. I'll make a doctor appointment though to see the OB I am sure.

I fully plan on posting pictures today. I really hope to. This week has been crazy. We have had meetings or plans every night this week. I am very glad it's Saturday.

Good day to all!
