Update

Hi, my friends, I haven't been online for ages.  In fact, my fingernails have grown so long that I can't type easily.  Note that the fingernails aren't very long, but I usually rip them off for some nervous reason or other.  Since I've been mostly asleep for the last two weeks, I haven't had a single thing (like traffic or being late some place) to make me that kind of nervous. I'm sitting up, sitting at the computer.  That is a big deal for me.  I have become very, very bad at sitting up.  That's another reason I haven't checked in recently.  When I sit or stand, I get very light headed and nauseated.  When I'm hungry (even lying down) I get nauseated.  And after I eat, after the nausea has subsided, my stomach hurts.  I've been the queen of gas and all the pain it produces.  I forgot what a lousy gastrointestinal tract I have.  I'm focusing my energy on having the twins produce better gastrointestinal cells.  Maybe they'll take after their dad. My worry over the health of the babies has gone away a little.  I'm starting to get used to the idea of being pregnant.  Having twins, I still haven't really gotten my head around that one.  In my wildest fantasies, which I guess I'm trying not to get my hopes up about, I'm sitting at the dining room table with James and two toddlers.  The four of us.  Can you imagine?  It's a dream come true? Before I pass out here and have to go back and lie down, I want to wish my dear friend Ashley a safe and fun surgery tomorrow on her uterine polyps.  Ashley, I'm channeling all the Paul McCartney and Mick Jagger vibes ("Paul" and "Lips") to get you through it unevenfully.  I also want to wish MrsStacy a happy Friday (I hope I'm back on line before then) -- the day she and her egg donor go in for monitoring.  Woo-hoo!  Good things are a brewing. Like some vomit. Love, Kay

Kay, first I want to thank you for your wishes for Friday. You\'re a sweetheart. I am so sorry that you are feeling so sick. Try to hang in there, girlfriend. Your babes are putting you to the test already! Thinking of you.

Love,

Stacy

Welcome to being pregnant. I still get very light headed when sitting or standing for too long. If you ever feel like you\'re going to pass out make sure you lay down on your left side. That is what my OB suggested to me, something about the blood flowing better. Anyway, take care of you and your babies!

Kay--Thanks for the surgery wishes! It was weird, but what else is new,right? I\'m sorry you\'re so tired and lightheaded and all that, but I know you wouldn\'t trade it for a second! I\'m glad you can just be at home and rest rest rest!

I\'m still so over the moon for you and your twins! Sorry you are so nauseated and belly hurting...try to keep the food down. Good luck to Asheley too on her surgery! I had that same surgery last year and it was smooth! And I got pregnant afterwards!
