Tomorrow we will leave for my parents cabin in the mountains. The last thing I want to do is drive 4.5 hours in the car tomorrow, but I promised and the kids are very excited.
I have decided that the twins will be Grandma and Grandpa's responsibility. I am lounging and taking it easy. I am just too worn out to make this a big weekend with too much excitement. I am tired, I'm nauseous and my mouth still hurts like hell.
Oh...and tomorrow morning I plan on using my Intelligender test. I will try to remember to post what it says before I go :)

Boy or Girl??
That is the question. And the question that I am very impatient to discover the answer to. Tonight I bought the Intelligender Urine Test. You pee in the thing and based on what color the fluid turns, you are having a boy or girl. It's about 80% effective so I won't go 100% on it's results, but I'm hoping it will accurately steer me in the correct direction.

The 'true' reveal will occur July 17th during my 18 week anatomy scan...which is only 6 weeks away...but I can't wait. I am excited though, that my friend J may be in town that day and be able to join me for the scan.
Personally, like I've said before, I think I really want a girl. I just enjoy the clothes, toys, accessories, activities, etc with girls. People think I'm crazy though because K definitely gives me a run for my money and if I end up with another one of her, I may go insane LOL
But I've started to think that for S's sake, a boy might be better. Otherwise it will always be him in a house full of girls. It would probably be nice for S to have a brother that will grow up with him and share his interests. I imagine that they could have quite the bond. And honestly, S is such a total sweetheart that I would love to have another S.
So I guess either way I will be satisfied. I'm sure I will feel a tad sad if I'm having a boy, but that's just due to my bias. Overall, I think a boy would be better for this family and that's the way I need to start thinking about it.

Rub a Dub Dub...Three Fools in a Tub
Today was a better day but I was feeling a little run down. I decided to take a nice hot bath. I have a large garden tub in the master bath, but since the twins now have the master bedroom, I needed to have my bath before I put them down to bed.
As soon as the water started flowing they were both in the bathroom. I asked them to go watch TV many times but they insisted they needed to stay with me. So for about 20 minutes I laid in a bath while two three year olds asked me a million questions and put their hands in and out of the water. By 30 minutes into the bath, both of them were in the tub with me.
Being a mom is great, but is 30 minutes to myself in the bathroom too much to ask?

UGH...Feeling Sick Today
This morning was not a good one. I threw up many times and the Zofran seemed to take forever to work. I was finally able to keep some food down around 11a when we went to Chick-Fil-A with a friend of mine and her twin boys.
From there S had speech therapy and then I had an OB appointment. Today was that lovely pelvic exam visit...gosh I hate those. And to make it worse, I didn't have enough time between the appointment and S's therapy to get them to a babysitter so the twins had to come to the appointment with me. They actually did pretty good, but I hate bringing the kids when I have to have a pelvic exam...ykwim?
We then came home and had a nap, but I have still felt pukey all day. I haven't been able to eat any dinner and just a drink made me sick. I am usually okay in the early evening so I don't know what this is about. I hope its just a bad day and it doesn't continue.
Tomorrow it's back to work for me :( I hope I'm not nearly as sick.

A Nice Day
Today we went to the local gardens. They are absolutely gorgeous right now with hundreds of beds of colorful, blooming flowers of all types and sizes. Our multiples group had family portraits once again and this was the location.
When I woke up it was pouring rain and the sky was black. I figured the photo shoot would be cancelled, but just like that, the sky cleared and the sky was a beautiful blue. We had 13 families scheduled and everyone had a great time. We should get our photos in a few weeks and I will definitely post some.
Then in the afternoon we went swimming. The twins of course had a blast. I just sat on the side of the pool and watched. We swam at my sister's apartment pool. She recently moved about a mile or so down the road. J has had some issues with immaturity and unreliability, but I think this could be good for both of us. I think with her close, but not living with me, I can occasionally rely on her for some things and then of course she can be around more for the twins. Both the twins, but especially K, LOVE their ya-ya (S came up with that name) I hope it works out for all of us!

Saturday...The Day I Should Have Been Resting
What I haven't mentioned, is on Monday, during the drive to Canada, I broke one of my molars. What a pain!! I spent most of the week downing extra strength Tylenol, which didn't do much for the pain. It really affected my sleep as I was so uncomfortable and most of the day my jaw just ached.
When I woke up Saturday my goal was to find a dentist that was open. I found one that could fit me in. Now I told them on the phone that I was 11 weeks pregnant and they stated that wasn't a problem. Well I went to the office, which was friggin across town, and the dentist walked in and said he wouldn't touch me because I was pregnant - WHAT!? Why in hell didn't they say that over the phone! All I wanted to do today was stay in my PJ's all day but instead I got up, ready and drove across town for them to tell me that!
So now I have to get a letter from my OB basically giving them permission to work on my teeth. Luckily I already have an appointment for Monday. Things like this are so frustrating. I hate that I live in such a litigious culture and that no one will touch me unless I jump through a million hoops!

The Long Drive Home
OMG...That was the longest day of my life!
We left the hotel at 7:00a and headed to a rest stop just before the American border to meet a family member. We were supposed to meet at 8:30a. I waited until 10a and then just left. I was so pissed off that I had wasted 1.5 hours waiting for this person! (who had no good reason when I finally did get through to them). Then a few minutes at the border with immigration. We were on our way just before 11a.
The day just seemed to drag. It seemed like we would never get home. We stopped for lunch but opted to just snack in the car and skip dinner. We finally got home at 10:45p. The twins were wired and I was exhausted! My family was all here and waited up for us. I kinda ditched the twins on them and went to bed.
I never want to make that drive again. I really need to get my Green Card.
