Thanksgiving...

Well, I have lots of new pictures from our trip to Wisconsin for Thanksgiving. The only issue is that I keep forgetting that the camera is in the one-ton. Maybe tonight I will remember to grab it and bring it into the house to warm up.

We finally got to meet Henry. I can't say that I got to see lots of him, but I did take in all the snuggling that I could. I swear I never even saw him eat a bottle once the entire time I was there. His mom and dad sure keep him under wraps. Or perhaps he just sleeps alot. I forget that babies actually do that since mine don't anymore.

The other big highlight was one little word that Tessa started to say completely out of the blue last Thursday. Most of the time she now says "mommy" instead of "mama." And it melts my heart every time! Even in the middle of the night when she wakes up. And she puts the emphasis on "mom-ME."

Molars are still working their way through. Tessa has three that are out and Audrey has just one that is poking through. The rest of them are just causing swollen gums and crabby babies at night.

32 week appointment is this afternoon. I can't help but realize that my 32 week appointment was my last one with the twins. I definitely hope to make it to my 34 week appointment this time and beyond. Since I am delivering in Dickinson this time instead of Bismarck I feel a little blind knowing that delivery is right around the corner. I never bothered to ask those little questions about pre-registration at the hospital or even what number I am suppose to call when I do go into labor. And I think they haven't really talked to me about it because they assume I delivered in Dickinson last time.

I have decided to go with a VBAC instead of another c-section mainly for the recovery time. I don't know how I would cope with the lifting restrictions after a c-section with two little girls still in cribs and highchairs. I can just see us eating meals off the kitchen floor and sleeping on blankets in the living room. That wouldn't be a problem except I know how dirty my floor is.

This pregnancy and upcoming delivery are just so different from last time. I feel just a bit unprepared because in my mind I feel like I should know how things will progress.

Anyways, I need to go drink some more water so I can pee in a cup (and all over my hand I am sure, who doesn't at this point?).
