All yesterday afternoon I was having contractions. Some uncomfortable, some not. Some in my back, some all over. I picked up the girls from school, and they both wanted chocolate milk when we got home. We didn't have any chocolate milk, so I made them promise to be good if I took them to Krogers. They promised and we went.
They weren't exactly great...but a lot better than past shopping experiences!
After we got home, I fed them, put them in my bed and turned on "Meet the Robinsons." Then I decided to rest on the couch and finish watching "Supernatural." When that was over, I stood up...still very uncomfortable...and realized I had forgotten to take my pill at 3 pm. No wonder I was having so many contractions! I quickly took my 9 pm pill and within 20 minutes or so, was completely comfortable and ache free. Weird how that works.
I got the girls to go to bed--fairly easily. I only had to re-tuck them in twice, then I watched one episode of the Brady Bunch (the one with the ghost) and went to sleep.
Heath came home shortly before I fell completely asleep and I was happy he wasn't out too late.
I think Kalyn is starting to have issues with the upcoming arrival of the babies. She has been begging me to take her to work with me every day, and says that we never get any time together. She has also taken to having a 'sick tummy' at school, though the teachers (and I) think she is making it up for the most part. Her teacher said that they will pamper her a little bit when she complains of the tummy, then she will be fine. She does the same thing at home.
With as tall and smart as Kalyn is, I often forget that she is only 4. In my mind, she has delt with getting a new baby in the family already, so this shouldn't be that big of a deal for her. But I know it will be--and I hope that Heath and I can give her the support she is going to need to work through this adjustment. Any tips?
Keali is also going to have big changes. She is very used to being the baby, and asks us often to hold, cradle, carry her like a baby. She feels the change coming and I hope we don't do her a disservice either. I think she may be easier to help than Kalyn because she is still small enough to cuddle/snuggle and love on easily.
All I know for sure is the adjustment is going to be huge for each of us. Hopefully we do it well.
