I feel like my anxiety is fading...yay!!

I am happy to announce that my anxiety has faded quite a bit. I am still a nervous wreck everyday, but it's not to the point where I am panicking. Both my high risk and my ob have agreed to see me weekly and I am feeling very reassured that things are good. We went to the high risk doctor on Tuesday to see if I needed to do the cerclage and happy to announce I do not need one as of yet. The sonogram showed no blood flow to the area they were concerned about so right now we are good. I am still advised to take it very easy, no lifting, no intimacy and not to over exert myself. I do believe the reason things have been so low key is because I have been keeping my feet up and keeping all walking to a bare minimum. I find that when I do walk for more than 15 min I do feel a lot of pressure in my lower abdomen and that is my cue to rest.

 I am reading my multiples book and according to my BMI and having twins I should have gained 15 pounds by now but for some reason I can't gain!!! The only time in my life I can't gain weight when I need to. I am only up 6-7 pounds and almost 5 months. According to this book in order to keep the babies a good weight if born premature is to put on a healthy weight now. Well, of course my dilemma is I can't gain weight! Go figure!

I also saw a plastic surgeon for the basal cell carcinoma I have on my shoulder and the plastic surgeon advised that I should wait until after the babies are born to remove it. However, my dermatologist feels that I should have this done before hand, but one thing at a time! If things start to look a little better in the next month or so maybe I can squeeze in a quick outpatient surgery to have it completely removed. If not, I promise I will make time to have it done after the twins.

For those of you who did not know Mike auditioned for the show Million Second Quiz and made it on live tv last night! I was so proud. Even though I think the questions he got were not even educated questions. He still did good :) He is still a winner in my book!

I started a blanket, finished half a word search book, starting a new book, beat several levels of candy crush. I am doing good! :)

Thanks for reading!!
