Two little dancers...

At least that's what it feels like most days! So work has been keeping me pretty busy and I haven't had a chance to update since my last Dr. appt. Of course now that I typed that, my phone has started ringing...seriously. I just got off the phone with a builder who needs a refrigerator. Not that you care to know that, I am just making a point. :) Ok back to my Dr appt. So this past week I thought I'd try something new and go to an afternoon appt rather than an early morning one. In short it was a bad idea that I don't plan on repeating. When I first found out I was going to be seeing this specialist I did some online research to see what others said about him, and for the most part everything said was good the only downfall was the wait to see him. So after seeing him for the past few months and very rarely ever waiting I just figured it was just those few people who got an unlucky time slot. Nope. Needless to say I rushed out of work and fought traffic to get to my appt. just to wait for oh an hour and fifteen. Yep. 1 hour and 15 minutes. I about crawled out of my skin. And to top it off I got to fight 5 o'clock traffic all the way home. Needless to say my blood pressure was a little high, and from now on I always ask for the earliest available! Anyways I feel better for getting that little rant off my chest.

So since they were running so far behind my appt felt a little more rushed than usual, but it was still a good one. *And that's what counts.* So far Baby A is 1 pound 1 ounce and Baby B isn't far behind at 1 pound! They are still measuring right along with each other and look great. I even think they've taken up dancing together on my lower uterus and bladder. When the tech did the ultrasound they were facing each other with their heads in my ribs and their feet dancing around (which I CONSTANTLY feel!) I can tell when they wake up because it's their feet that start moving first and that I feel the most. I've even felt one of them kick my hands one day while I was at work! It was a surreal. Then one night Rush and I were at the movies and one of them punched my hand that I was resting on my belly! So far Rush hasn't felt them yet, they are too sporadic in their movements to know when to put your hand on my belly. But soon enough I'm pretty sure we'll all be able to SEE them moving.

Besides the babies, Rush and I have been just enjoying the cooler weather, but hating the mosquito population that keeps us inside. All that rain and flooding we got so late in the season started another generation of mosquitoes here in eastern NC and it is miserable to have to be outside for very long. I am pretty sure everyone is ready for the first freeze to get here and kill them all off! Aside from that we've also been geaing up for the Marine Corps Marathon! I can't wait! We're going to be leaving around lunch time Friday and coming home Monday afternoon. I'm hoping the mosquitoes are too bad up in DC but will just carry some bug spray with me because I plan on doing a lot of walking around the National Mall and monuments with my sister, Robin! :) And hopefully we'll also be able to catch up with a number of friends and relatives who will be up for the MCM as well.

Once we get back we'll be gearing up for our trip home for Thanksgiving!!! YAY! I can't wait to see everyone and just get back to Texas soil. Even if it is just temporary. :) And then before we know it, it will be CHRISTMAS time!!!!!!!!!! *If you can't tell, it's my favorite holiday!* I'm hoping that this year since we'll be home, that Rush will get me a real tree to decorate! That and there have been whispers that family might be coming to visit us right after the holiday. :) Can you imagine how crazy I'm going to be when I have two little ones that get just excited as I do!?! Poor Rush.

I hope everyone has a great (and safe) Halloween! Don't get too candy drunk! ;)
