20wks, 6days

It has come to my attention that not everyone who should know about this blog, does. Both my sister and my sister-in-law only recently found out. I will send another mass email (not to force my rantings upon anyone, but since this is where all updates/pictures are/will be, family at least should know about it). If any of you know someone who is interested in following along with my updates, send them this way.

I have much-requested belly pics but am unable to locate my camera cord as half our belongings are still in boxes. But I'm taking the pictures so when I can upload them there will be several. In two weeks is the next ultrasound so you can expect so see those pictures, too.

For those of you who heard about our recent scare, please know everything is perfectly fine. For those who have no idea what I am talking about, last week I experienced stomach and back cramps and went to the ER to be on the safe side. It turned out to be nothing more than a stomach bug, which has since passed. We had two ultrasounds of the babies (no pictures, sorry) and the kids are looking great. They experienced no trauma or complications.

As for me, I'm feeling good but growing ever bigger. I feel like I have a two-headed octopus running rampant in my body which really is not that inaccurate of a description. I'm tired but eating well and am back at work, which I very much enjoy. Today I had a meeting with my bosses to discuss what will happen when I leave and when I return, and I feel very confident that they will look out for me and be flexible in finding an ideal solution for both me and the office.

Did they take an ultrasound of your gall bladder?

Nope, but they had no reason to. I had no symptoms of gallstones, if that's what you're thinking of. They ran labs and nothing was abnormal, though at first the doctor thought it might have been a UTI, which is wasn't. An ER nurse guessed it was just some GI disturbances as half the people in the place were there for the same thing. A doctor later agreed with her. 48 hours, and a couple of bouts of nausea and diarrhea later, I felt perfectly fine.
