Not pregnant but my best friend is just starting her 2nd trimester and is about to announce the pregnancy to the general public. And it's twins! She just got the results back from her um...test I can't remember the initials for but it's a big genetics test and the results were good--both babies are genetically normal. And there's one of each. It's all very, very exciting.
She is a doctor but is, as she says, a layperson when it comes to babies. We don't really have any friends in our immediate circle here in town who are parents and she has no family (well she has a brother with family but they live in British Columbia).
I've been feeding her little bits of info and links to cool products from the cool moms here. Which reminds me, does somebody have a link to the baby hammock thing? I think maybe Plei was using it?
Not it.
I can't remember any of my dreams from last night. I had a hell of a time waking up this morning -- just no energy to get out of bed. Luckily, the only thing I have to do today is meet with a student at 1. Also, need to deal with the pharmacy to figure out why they're saying my insurance company won't cover one of my medications, but when I called the insurance company they said they would. And answer a few emails, and eat dinner, and get to Kol Nidre services tonight, and possibly get some grading done, and clean my apartment (or at least the kitchen), and figure out what to wear to Yom Kippur services tomorrow, since it'll be too cold to wear what I'd been planning on wearing.
I forgot:
GO, vw, GO go VW , GO VW GO!
How are Kara and Aidan today?
Kara and Aidan seem to be just fine today. No fever, perfectly normal, happy, and driving me crazy with demands that I read/play/entertain them. Yay for healthy babies!
Hil, I'm glad I don't have your "only" day. All I have to do is finish a proposal...in a couple of hours. Ouch. If I come back before 2, kick me in the shins.
lisah, that's the Amby baby hammock.
Not it either.
yay for healhy babies, Deena, and it's nice to see you around here.
VW, listen to ita.
it's nice to see you around here
I figured out something (that seemed to me to be) radical last night. I ran out of my AD prescription (low dose prescribed to help manage pain) a couple of weeks ago. In the last few days I've started feeling more like myself. I'm more willing to be engaged in life. I'm more interested in everyone around me. I'm better with the kids. Greg says I'm laughing more. I think this is cause and effect and not just roller-coaster emotions.
I have an appt. with my doctor on Monday. I'm going to talk to her about this and see if we can't try something else.
Thanks Cashmere! Hammock seems like something they should think about using because of the space issues that will arise from having to have 2 of everything.
I'm glad you are feeling more yourself, Deena. It sounds like a good thing to follow up on.
