I So ROCK!!!

Imagine this....

I am on the couch feeding one boy when the other starts to cry. Before I put the boy down to pick up the other I need to burp the one I have so he does not spit up all that he just ate (which happens-not as much as it use to but it still does). But the other is screaming very very loudly!!
So what would a mother do? Well, here was my soulution.... I lay Brad down on the couch, pick up Jensen who is just so mad at me at that point. I then grab the twin boppy pillow, sit down on the couch and while holding one baby, pull the other (with only one hand) up onto the pillow. If only I could have taken a picture of myself. I was so proud :) !! If you all could have seen a picture you would have seen Brad on my right shoulder being burped, Jensen laying on my lap against the boppy being fed. Then Jensen finishes his bottle so with one hand again I put him up against my left shoulder and start burping him. While burping him Brad falls asleep. So, I now have one baby asleep in my arms, and the other against my shoulder being burped! I so totally rock! I am really getting this twin thing all down! For those of you with only one baby consider your life easy!! :)

OH, and I totally forgot to tell you, on Friday last week I got this really bad pain in the middle of my back. The pain then continued on through the front right under my chest. It started around 10:00 and by 3:00 in the morning was still there. And it was a constant pain, no relief at all. So I sent Jason to the store to get some pepto, or gas relief. While he was gone I threw up and felt better. Then Saturday during the day it came on again. So we called my OB thinking it had something to do with my c-sesction. He said it sounded like a virus and told me to take some peptobismal and just stay on a liquid diet for the day. The pain stopped then came back again full force at 9:00 that night. By 3:00 am the pain was still there and I was in tears. So I called my doc again and he told me to go to the ER.

So Sunday at 3:30 am in the morning I made my way to the ER with my mother in law Nancy! First they give me morphine to stop the terrible pain, then they take my blood and take me down to get an ultrasound done. Talk about fun news that follows. The results come back and I have to have my gallbladder removed! Two major surgeries in 3 weeks. First the c-section, and now farewell to my gallbladder.... all while having to worry about two cute little guys!! Around 9:30 sunday morning they do the surgery. They do a laproscopic surgery... or something to that effect. They make four little incisions, pump up my stomach with gas and take my gallbladder out. The surgery goes well. My visiting teacher is a nurse at the ER and heard about my surgery and was holding my hand when I was in the recovery room. For some reason having her there by my side made me so happy. They wheeled me back to my room where my mom was waiting for me. My mom stayed the whole day and left early in the morning. Jason came and we left the hospital around 10:00. It was nice to see my boys. Jasons parents took them and watched them while I had the surgery. My ward was so great and made dinners for me all week long. I was joking with my sister in law Stephanie that I am just trying to see how many scars I can collect on the front side of me. I have my cancer scar above my chest, my c-section scar, the beautiful stretch marks from the pregnancy and the four incisions from the gallbladder. I have also had kidney stones.... what next is in store for me? maybe an apendix?.... I sure hope nothing else, at least for another couple of decades!!
