34 weeks and counting...

If any of you know me well, you will be surprised that I am posting an entry at 6:45am. I have been up this morning since 5:30am...guess my body is getting ready for our upcoming schedule of little sleep.

Moderate bed rest has been going well thanks to very supportive moms who came to our rescue. Judie came up last week and in addition to waiting on me hand and foot, did at least 15 loads of laundry and 10 rounds of dishes! She went home Thursday and Debbie flew up for Round 2. She has been busy taking me on short daily outings, cooking, and sewing slipcovers for the glider rocker and ottoman in the nursery. Thank goodness Debbie will be here all week this week. We have had a ton of visitors which has made this whole bed rest thing much more bearable. I have watched 5 movies, read tons of magazines, written bunches of thank you notes--sorry they are so late!--and tried my best to lay prone to keep these babies in.

As our typical Jankowski household goes, we had an animal emergency late last week, which is still ongoing. Our sweet kittycat Anna's tail was slammed in the bathroom door and remained attached merely by one vessel that was severly bruised (and several threads of Dr. McGinley's caring stitching). She is absolutely pathetic as we have to keep her drugged and donned with the E-collar (imagine the Jetson's cat) to keep her from biting at it as it heals. It has been a comedy trying to keep Boomer away from her...he thinks she looks like an alien. Our other cat Louise is confused as to why Anna gets all the attention and also thinks Anna looks like an alien. Prognosis is looking good...we are hoping that the tail will heal and reattach well. Only time will tell...


Our next doc appt is tomorrow and we are hoping for a good report. Doc said that if I go into labor from this point on, it will not be stopped. Who knows, the Jankowski twins could be here any day now. Will keep you posted....
