Today was another beautiful day! I had my drs appt. this morning and was so relieved by everything. My dr doesn't consider me a candidate for bedrest even though I have had 2 episodes of preterm labor b/c my contractions are easily stopped by medication and not triggered by activity! That is a huge relief! Plus, I was excited to discover that I did not gain any weight this time...I really hope that trend continues or I actually lose a little before the boys are born since I am trying to get back into my healthy eating routine before they get here. I am just such a big gainer when I am pregnant even if I am trying to eat healthily...it is kind of frustrating. Luckily, Dr M likes to remind me at each appt that alot of it is fluid retention which makes me want to hug him! Hopefully, he is right since I just got one of my new nursing tanks in the mail today and it looks so tiny that it seems hopeless I will ever get it on. I would LOVE to come back in a few months and complain that it is too big!
Goings on...
C helped Grampy bathe the big, bad mutt today and he seemed to have a blast! Well, mostly he liked running around the yard screaming whenever the dog shook water all over him. It was too cute!
Creepy Question of the Day:
Am I some type of nutjob parent who thinks nothing of bringing their 2 yo into the hospital immediately following his brothers' birth? I cannot imagine not having him come in and meet them as soon as possible...I do feel that he is too little to be in the room WHILE they are being born b/c he just wouldn't understand what was going on and it would frighten him. But, I think that as soon as the room is cleaned up and the boys are in the room with us, I want him there! I would not be able to wait the whole time we were in the hospital until we got home. I thought that was pretty normal, but after reading on some message boards it seems like many people are waiting. Oh well! I am not budging on this one!
Good Things:
* My FABULOUS Dr appt!!
*Cole's hysterical imitations of both the dog getting sick and later eating grass!
*My school is so nice that they mailed me my paycheck early so that I would actually get it on the day that I get paid instead of mailing it out that day!!

Lisa, I think it is normal to want C there! All of my kids have come after. Just make sure who is bringing him can read "you" and know when it is time to go.
I had Son 1 there in the room about an hour after Son 2 was born. I see nothing wrong with it.
Brooke came to see Drew within an hour of being born....of course she couldn't see him because he was in NICU. The next day we got smart and fast forwarded her age by a few months so that she could go in and meet him. My point is....she WOULD have met him immediately if he had been available to be met...lol
