I have spent the whole weekend at home. Correction - I left the house for about 30 minutes yesterday w/DH to buy a baby name book @ B&N, and pick up some groceries. My point is that I'm still totally exhausted and don't feel like doing anything, but I'm feeling a bit of cabin fever.
I've watched everything on our Tivo and read an entire book. I'll miss lying around all day, but it will be good to go back to work tomorrow.
DH rearranged our bedroom furniture today. For some people, moving furniture around may be a frequent exercise, but I tend to find an arrangement I like and stick with it. Case in point, our bedroom has not been rearranged since we moved in, 6 years ago. But we felt this was necessary to give me better access to the bathroom for my already frequent trips, and to the location we've picked out for the twin bassinet.

Saturday, September 27, 2008
So, my OB called this morning.
I was napping on the couch, and my phone was in the bedroom, so I missed his call. But now I have his message that I can listen to whenever I want. Is that thee weirdest thing you've ever heard? Not from an ex-boyfriend or a job offer? No, I'm saving voicemail from my OB.
He was just updating me on my bloodwork from the goiter appointment - which is nice that he called me personally, but seriously?!, if I had been worrying about that this entire time I would have had to have been hospitalized for anxiety attacks by now. But at the end of the messsage he said, Hope you're doing well, hope the twins are doing well. Call me if you need anything. And that's why I saved it. For some reason, I liked the way he was thinking of my twins, thinking of me, on a Saturday morning. I'll probably delete it later today. I've only listened to it twice. I'm not a total freak.

DH has the day off of work today. Of course, he still found a work project to occupy him this morning. I think he's on his way home now. I'm hoping I can muster up the strength to run an errand or two with him. I was thinking - Barnes and Noble - to buy a baby name book and get him a coffee. That might be nice. I have names I like, but don't feel like we've done an exhaustive search.

Yesterday was the sickest I've felt so far. I guess the twins are making up for the break I had earlier this week. Or...I shouldn't have eaten the second donut at work! Either way, I was literally gagging when I was home resting at lunch, and worried that I should not even go back. But I did make it back, and made it through the whole day. Yay for me! But I also complained to anyone who would listen about the pukey-ness of my tummy. If I'm going to work through my nausea, I at least want credit for it.

I still have not decided what to do with the card/money from my father. I moved it from the dining room table to the table in my scrapbooking room, where I won't have to look at it. My thoughts keep coming back to My being pregnant changes nothing about our relationship. But that sounds harsh, and I don't want to be bitter or mean. I really just want him to go away. So, perhaps I will just not cash the check, and not acknowledge the card and hope he does just that.

10 Week Update
OK, I'm back home. Whew! So, future posts will be regular-sized. So sorry for yesterday's story. It felt good to get it out.
I have been having headaches the past few days, which I assumed were sinus headaches.
BUT the thought hit me this evening -- what if they're pregnancy headaches? That's what I'm choosing to believe. The twins are giving me this headache! The twins are okay!
The exhaustion has returned. I was so tired driving home and unpacking at the office that I could hardly concentrate. I always know I'm tired when I move slow.
I had my little hiccups this morning, which probably isn't in any textbook, but is in my book, a very positive sign that the twins are alive and kickin.
No nausea again today, but the food aversions remain. Right now I'm obsessing about a cheap crappy frozen bean and cheese burrito. But we don't have any in the house. I'm too tired to go anywhere. And DH works until 7. I don't know if I can make it that long. Mmmmmm. Burrito....
