Randomness

My last progesterone shot was over 2 months ago. The lumps have completely disappeared from my left hip- but I still have two lumps on my right. Experienced IVFers- when did yours go away? When will mine? Is it normal that I still have those lumps? Is it something I should bring up with my doctor? Thanks in advance for any info!

Time is getting away from me- I can hardly keep up with blogs and commenting- let alone post my own blog posts. I want to do a post about registering, about our bedding, about reading twin books, and my faith story... Argh! And I have yet to really plan anything in advance for my substitute teacher once I go on maternity leave... I need a 48 hour day!

The physical therapy really seems to be helping with my back pain. The physical therapist jokingly said today that what she thinks I need to make it all better is really just a weekly massage. I told her that it was too bad my health insurance probably wouldn't agree. Since the pain is almost gone, we agreed that I don't need to go every week and we'll see how I do from now on with the exercises she gave me to do. Hopefully that will do the trick!

My husband has been out of town for a week now, and will be for 3 more days. This has given me a glimpse of what could happen (on a much smaller scale) in January when he has a work trip... and I don't like it. I miss having him here (ok, I always do- I'm not one of those wives who secretly like the time alone). I miss having someone take care of me, because I know I don't always do the best job by myself. He usually cooks, takes care of the dishes, brings out the garbage, feeds and kennels the dogs while we are at work, and doing those things while 20 weeks pregnant with twins is a lot harder than it was pre-pregnancy. I don't want him to go in January. What if I can't bend down to put on my shoes when I'm 30 weeks? What if something happens while he's gone and he's not there in time for our babies to be born? I know it is a long way off, but this is something has been in the back of my mind for a while now. I know if I'm on bed rest, he can get out of going- but I think that might be the only way. I guess I'll have to just wait until January to see what happens- no sense letting myself stress about it now when there's nothing I can do about it, right?

Oooh! And I think I saw and felt them move for the first time from the outside yesterday! I've been trying to catch it again since then, with no luck. It is hard to take time to do that during the day- people tend to look at you funny if you are just staring at your stomach!

That's so exciting that you can feel them move now! Hope your hubby gets back soon!

I feel my baby move on the outside just about every day. But I haven't seen it yet. My placenta is in the front, so I've been told it'll be harder to see that stuff. However, my belly does get lopsided sometimes if the baby's body is more curled up on one side. It's funny!
