Went back to the doctor's yesterday. Everything looks much better. I spent Tuesday with my feet up the entire day, I think the most physical thing I did was take a shower and make dinner. My blood pressure was back down, my blood tests came back normal, I still have swelling and those fabulous 8 pounds i put on in two weeks, but other than that I am doing well. The boys are very active (We have some kicking going on right now), their heart beats are good and they are sharing their fluids nicely. Even though everything looks good I stopped working as of yesterday. Dr. Y said to remove stress that may cause my blood pressure to rise again, plus Chris and I were talking about it and since I really need to be off my feet a lot it would either be me work 12 hours a week and then come home exhusted and miserable and spend most the time inbetween working recovering, or stop working and pitter patter around the house doning a couple small chores a day and taking it easy. Chris really left it up to me, but I figured I would be more useful and last longer if I stopped working. Yesterday after my Dr. appointment I bought my Thank You cards for my baby shower, and picked up some groceries... I have been craving cupcakes and fruity slushy type drinks. Went home and vegged out, took a nap for a couple hours, folded some laundry (Chris brings it upstairs and i leaves it on the bed for me so I dont have to lift or carry it up stairs). and watched a bunch of tv.

So... I got my baby shower invite in the mail.... let me tell you how "special" it is. So apparently my baby shower is a big secret. I know the day and time and that I go to my mom's house... but I know nothing else about it. So to keep me completely out of the loop they made me my own invite.
It says
"Roses are red
Violets are blue
you're not having one,
your having 2"

On the front it has baby stamps all over it and a hot pink string attatched to it (yes they know i am having boys) and dog bones punched out of it.. apparently in the set of punch outs stamps they got it came with dog bones and they didn't want to let it go to waste.
The inside of the card says
What: Your Shower.... DUH
When: Saturday April 28 @1pmPlace:
YOUR MOM (No really it's at her house)
BYOF: Bring your own fetuses
RSVP: By 4/20 to Courtney or you're uninvited
Now I know that a couple of my friends are "Secretly" helping out with the shower. I love you girls. Just make sure I get one of the real invites so I can scrapbook it.... don't worry my invite will get a special page in my pregnancy book.

Anyways... things I am going to do today:
Nap (I didn't sleep well last night)
Go to Guard practice (I do need to get out of the house every once in a while)
Fold laundry
Do dishes (I made cupcakes yesterday... yummy!!)
Shower
Wipe down the bathroom
Watch TVSuch a rough day!!

Oh and to my DC friends, If/when I get put on bedrest feel free to skip work and come visit me. We can watch sappy cheesy movies, play board games and sit on my deck drinking virgin margharitas. (Maureen already is all about that!). Hopefully it will be a while before that happens... but just so you guys have something to look forward to. Oh well... off to start my lazy day.
