he is a man, but he has a very kind heart. my husband called my mom yesterday to let her know that i was having a bad day. she invited me to dinner and then we went to the used bookstore to look around. (i had a trade credit from 1987; i can't believe i was able to hold on to it that long!). she told me that she took antibiotics with my brother, as well as other medications. he was fine. i tried no meds for one more night and didn't get any rest. sleep deprivation will help you make a decision quickly! i am feeling a little better; i'm just waiting for it to kick in fully.

one of the teachers at jefferson co. is preggo too. she is 5 mos. with a singleton and we are about the same size in the belly. mom had a book that said in order to protect yourself emotionally, it's ok to tell a white lie. ex. if you don't want to talk about having twins for the 40th time that day, just tell people you are 6 mos. pregnant when you are really only 4! i thought that was a great idea. don't worry, i will only tell the truth here!

i got a book on twins last night and i've been reading it. much of it it can be pretty scary. however, i am the kind of person who feels better and less stressed if i have all of the information up front. it suggests touring the hospital, including the NICU, just so you are prepared. pretty scary, but probably necessary.

we are working on the nursery this weekend. we moved some extra furniture to the garage, and now we can take up the carpet in the room. ideally, i would like to get rid of the carpet in the whole house. however, most of the rooms are fully of some heavy furniture. not feasible now. we've got both cribs now and added matresses to the registry. i painted the room soon after we moved into the house. it is a neutral color, so we won't have to paint it now. we got a border that matches the theme. the floor is hardwood, but the idiots who lived here before painted the trim white without a drop cloth. people are just stupid. the hardwood is in good condition because i took the carpet up in the dining room last fall. we won't refinish the floors right now because it is too much work and too expensive. we plan to do that when we decide to move out of the house. i think it will increase the value.

i feel like i am expanding again. i have another sinus headache, too. i thought you were supposed to feel good in the second trimester! i guess it's time for more drugs...
