Useful class, tired as hell, 8 more days to go...

8 more working days left yay! I need the rest specially after a busy week this week with evening classes. Seems that my feet want to swell up every night now that I've noticed they are doing that. However, my blood pressure is staying stable so I'm not overly worried, long as that doesn't go haywire I should be fine.

Class last night was useful we were lucky in that the nurse giving it has twin girls of her own so we were able to ask a few specific questions on raising twins as opposed to singletons. I put my first diaper on too! Ok so it was a doll but still :) And we got to learn to swaddle and how to take care of the umbilical cord. Tonight we get to learn infant CPR which I do feel is important and a useful skill even tho I hope we never have to use it.

I seem to be getting more and more congested I wonder if that's a sign of me getting closer to the end of the pregnancy or just a general lack thereof of sleep. Did have another NST last night as well, and I swear I caught myself snoring a couple of times I was that tired. The girls were troopers and were nice and active for the test which helped so I was out of there pretty quick. I think I might feel like I'm living at the hospital tho this week with going back for the class last night and again tonight and again to the Dr's on Thursday for an apt with her.

I'm just so looking forward to not having to work and making the most of getting some rest before these two arrive more than anything. I know I'm still not going to be getting a good night sleep but at least I can nap! And I know I'm going to be busy after the 12th doing the final nesting preparations for the arrival and picking up the stuff that will be missing.

Oh the other thing about last night was it really did hit home how there is no way we could really afford day care in our area for two. I would be spending nearly all my paycheck just on that alone. The low end for a newborn is $1500 and that's a single! An aupair is the most affordable option but we have nowhere for that person to sleep so it's not even an option. So we are stuck. Ah well we will manage by hook or by crook and hopefully my children and I will have a nice healthy relationship.
