Since my last update and vent, here is what has happened, what's going to happen and possibly a vent or two...

Last Wednesday had a Nutrition Care appt since I can't seem to gain the weight I need to no matter how much I eat and drink. And for those that know me you know I don't do diets and that I haven't had a problem with gaining weight since being in the Army. In fact I've had a problem keeping the weight off before getting pregnant. It's just so frustrating.

This past Thursday I had a growth check on the babies with my MFM. All the kiddos are doing great. The smallest one (Ethan) was 1lb, 1oz and the largest one (Jr.) was 1lb, 5ozs. Ethan was measuring a little less than a week behind the others but the doc said that was fine and that he was still doing great.

This week on Wednesday I have an appt up at UNC Chapel Hill with a different MFM. Since my delivery at Womack will depend on how far along I am and how much room their NICU has the doc is sending me up to UNC to meet the staff up there in case I have to deliver up there. Everything seems to be happening so quickly now. I'm hoping that I can hold these babies in for at least another 8wks which will put me at 32wks. My little frame really wasn't built for this but I know I can endure the pain with God's help.

Ok now for my vent...
   Well my hubby and I have issues just like any marriage does. But they are our issues. We might occasionally have a tiff on FB about something but in no way do we ever put out the full story because well we don't need outsiders trying to interject into our marriage and tell up how to do thing no matter how "helpful" they think their intentions are. Having that said my SIL has never really been a part of my or our life since I met my hubby over 9yrs ago. She seems to think she is helping when she interjects her 2 cents into whatever post that I would put up on FB or my hubby puts up. Mind you she really has only bothered with me since I got pregnant. Well last week my hubby and I got into a tiff and about 3 days later she interjected her "helpful" advice once again. One she does not know how the Army works, Two she acts like I'm f'n helpless and ignorant, and three what makes her an expert on marriages, being pregnant or raising children when she has never had to deal with that. She is a touchy subject when it comes to my hubby. He wants a relationship with her and really doesn't ever stick up for me or us when she opens her mouth. It kinda pisses me off but I can understand his want for a relationship with his sister. So what I decided to do was delete her from my FB so that I cannot and will not have the urge to tell her to back the hell off when my hormones are raging. (which lately is about every day). Now I'm sure if she reads this she is going to be woe is me and post something untrue and nasty on FB so that her friends have sympathy for her. But ya know whatever she needs to do to make herself feel better for her selfish ways is what she needs to do. The biggest thing that sucks is that I know the subject of her in relation to our kids is gonna come up again after the kids are here. No matter if someone is blood there are certain ppl that I consider family and they were a part of my life before I got pregnant. I have good friends that are more family to me than some blood relatives will ever be. I guess I will have to cross that bridge when it gets here. Guess that's it for now.
