Another week almost done!

This week has been crazy! Jason had OTC (offshore technology conference) for work. He had to be at the conference every day and then he had business dinners, etc at night. Tuesday I took Kara to the ENT doctor. She has to have surgery this summer to remove her tonsils! Jason and I knew that would be the case, but when a doctor tells you a baby will have to be in the hospital overnight for observation, it is a scary feeling. Then I dropped Kara off at Mimi's house and headed to my doctor appointment.


I had another NST (non-stress test). These are normally no big deal, but of course Lauren did not want to cooperate. Elizabeth's portion of the test lasted about 15-20 minutes.... Lauren's lasted an hour and a half! She is fine, but every time the readings would be almost done, so would move and the heart rate would not register. The nurse would have to move the monitor and find her heartbeat and then start over. So... I was laying on this horrible chair for about 2 hours. I have never understood people who have anxiety attacks until the end of that test! I felt like I was trapped. I was sweating and sick to my stomach. It was crazy! The nurse was fanning me and had to get me a cold glass of water to help me make it through. I surely did not want to move and mess up the reading. Anyway, everything is great with the girls and I felt better as soon as I was able to move around.


We host the recital tomorrow. It will be a long day, but Mother's Day should be relaxing! I am going to try to work half days next week and then take off! If I make it through May 15th at work, I think that will be enough. After the 15th, I will be praying for the girls to hurry up and get here!! Thank you for all of the prayers and well wishes. Jason and I feel so blessed to have made it this far. I can't wait to post pictures of our little sweet peas! Have a great weekend and a wonderful Mother's Day!
