Mego Prego Week 27

A list of things this clueless mom is learning:

• Babies prefer to move and kick and turn and headbutt the most at night--this leads to some restless nights for me as well
• Babies hiccup and it feels exactly like kicking except to the beat of a drum
• Zac also likes to get in on the kicking fun which means he is constantly tapping, tickling, whistling, singing, anything to get those babies to respond with a swift kick...and they do!
• One twin can kick the other twin in the face, making a good ultrasound picture next to impossible...unless your idea of a good profile pic substitutes a foot in place of a nose
• Eating a hot brown, sitting out in the hot sun, and travelling in the car equals balloon feet for a few days...which leads to mom freaking out at 5 a.m. when the swelling doesn't go down...which leads to dad running to Walgreens at 5 a.m. to get a blood pressure cuff to make sure mom doesn't have pre-eclampsia...which she doesn't :)
• Sleeping almost exclusively on my left side is really too much to ask
• Reading 25 "twin pregnancy" blogs a day to compare belly size, dissect birth stories, and search for a day in the life breakdown of how to survive the first few weeks probably doesn't really help my anxiety much--Google should probably be blocked now that I'm home all day. It can be dangerous
• Decorating a nursery for a boy and a girl is quite the conundrum...it's a fine balance between too masculine and too feminine

Didn't everybody know I've been working on this room just for him?
