A whole lot of sleepin' going on

I should have made this post last week but, well.... I didn't.

Last week I had a couple of appointments to go to. The first one being with the orthopedic doctor. She was very pleased with my arm. I had great range of motion and no stiffness so she deemed that physical therapy was not necessary. The next day was my general OB visit. Nine pounds gained. OMG! He said it was normal but I still didn't like that. Not like? Who am I kidding. I shuddered in horror at the number. It took only four weeks to shoot up nine pounds. I'm not stepping on the scale anymore. Nope. Done. He'll need a court order to get my weight from now on.

I have been very tired this past week. I feel like I sleep all of the time but yet it isn't a restful sleep. Lots of tossing and turning going on. I hope this is a short stage and I get my energy back soon. I have lots to do to prepare my boys homecoming.

The other day Humphrey was being naughty. Anything and everything that he wasn't supposed to do, he did. I felt like he was trying to give me a sample of what it will be like when the boys come. I was shooing him and getting after him all day. I think he has been counseling Bogart while he is at it because Bogart has been getting into his fair share of trouble lately too. Little instigators.

I have another ultrasound in two weeks. Looking forward to "seeing" my boys again.

Doug and I have started talking about names finally. I'm having a hard time coming up with boy names that I like. Nothing strikes me as a great potential. They all sound either boring or bizarre. I don't want to have names that are terribly common and end up with three other kids in their classes with the same name. But I don't want people to look at me and say, "What country did you adopt them from?" So for now I continue to call them Baby A and Baby B. Why are boy names so hard for me? I might just have to name them Alpha and Bravo when they come. My mother's solution was to let the Grandmas pick the names. Umm, I don't think so. You had your chance for names with your own kids. But if I don't have names by the time they are born...we'll talk.

That is it for now. :-)
