Every week you get to spend at home instead of the hospital is a blessing.

My husband and I had the biggest surprise of our lives when we were told we were having twins... So my prayers for you (knowing the issues and trouble I endured) have been doubled!! <BR/><BR/>Bed rest can become very overwhelming and depressing until you get a kick and feel the life inside of you and then with all your heart you want those little ones to be healthy and have a chance to develop to the fullest before they arrive... I have been praying that the Lord will give you peace and understanding through this time...<BR/><BR/>Also, HEARTBURN... what can I say... it was horrible (with just 2)!! Not sure what you can take or what your Dr said yesterday but my Dr put me on a medicine called Protonix (sp?) it was the best for me!! Especially when all I did was sit all day and couldn't move... Hope this helps a little...<BR/><BR/>May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He make His face to shine upon you... during this time...<BR/><BR/>CrisThe Arterburn'shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818959593366116035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-11638618262483087372007-06-07T08:29:00.000-05:002007-06-07T08:29:00.000-05:00Seriously, if I cover up your belly I would never ...Seriously, if I cover up your belly I would never know you're pregant. I bet you're "one of those" that from behind doesn't look the slightest bit different. Your belly is so pretty...I told Nicki this, but I think yours does too...it looks like the belly at the beginning of A Baby Story on TLC (I havne't watched that in a while, so it used to be there, I know). It's like one of those "fake" bellies they use in movies that everyone knows isn't real because its just gosh darn too gorgeous! But really, you look sensational and I KNOW you will have everything planned and ready and that even if you don't, GOD DOES! You're going to be great!Charla (SHar-la)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12272103827463307153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-19862843224106466862007-06-07T08:20:00.000-05:002007-06-07T08:20:00.000-05:00I LOVE your beautiful belly pics!!

That could be totally false - I have no idea - but just wanted to throw it out there! You also have 4 little ones inside of you so I am sure that is not the exact reason! And are the babies even growing hair yet ? - I have no idea ;) Not as experienced as many of your blog followers!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love you and miss you! We are always talking about you here in GA, updating the family on our Texas Sunshine!!! I have something important to tell you as well so I am going to email you soon. Praying for your doctor visit tomorrow!!!Brittany Wardlowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14226503464476545984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-77687476957282831412007-06-06T20:24:00.000-05:002007-06-06T20:24:00.000-05:00You look great!

With both my pregos my babes had to stretch up and down and where ever they could (they also both made it to 5 to 7 lbs fullterm).. With that said, I can imagine the heartburn. I think that was the only really hard thing with both. I am sure that your back has been aching as well with that much weight and that you have got the waddle begin stages... <BR/>I am so excited for you that you got your lovin from your Aunties and adopted (spiritual) family too. We send our love too and miss you greatly and always look forward to the photos and updates. We will continue to pray for your Pod and Peas within...

Wow, what a shock for you, congratulations! Your family will be in my prayers.<BR/><BR/>I was a little concerned, though. It's probably just that you haven't blogged about it yet, but have you been preparing for things for after the babies come? I remember reading a very good post from Raising WEG http://raisingweg.typepad.com<BR/>/raising_weg/2005/<BR/>06/i_lost_it_all_i.html<BR/>where she talks about how much she wished she'd known beforehand, and focussed too much on getting the babies here and not enough on afterwards.<BR/><BR/>I know I did the same thing, and paid for it (had no idea about some very silly things in the eraly days that luckily our BFing relationship survived). Have you been talking to people in the NICU and in the HOM community about how to make breastfeeding work for you, and how to reduce the trauma of not being able to physically hold all your crying babies at once? I only had two, so obviously was trying to do it on my own, which you won't, but if I'd known to hire a double electric pump from day one, and how to nurse sidelying, waking the other baby to eat when the first baby does, true tandem nursing etc,etc our lives would have been very much easier.<BR/><BR/>I hope this doesn't come across as assvice, but I've been there, done that, and live with the regret. I'd like to help you avoid that pain.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16582505.post-24100910905044647992007-06-06T00:29:00.000-05:002007-06-06T00:29:00.000-05:00We ate at Panera yesterday and LOVE that place!!
