Usually, I go to the ob with M. This morning, I skipped. Maybe I am starting to feel assured the babies will live. I guess I shouldn't start getting all baby confident. This morning the doctor tells M that her cervix length seems a bit shorter. She instructed her to back to Mt. Sinai tomorrow to see the peri- just to make sure everything is kosher. The doctor said the babies looked fine, but just to be extra careful. She suggested not traveling too far for the holidays (which we aren't) and that she might have to start some "behavior modification." Uh, okay.
I get extra panicky when M tells me she needs to go back to Mt. Sinai for a follow up. This morning, I reached M on her cell and grilled her after appointment. She wasn't happy with me when I told her she was pushing herself too much. I will definitely leave work early and go uptown tomorrow afternoon.
We spent part of the weekend assembling a large, heavy, piece of furniture. We are trying to make the now existing office a nursery. Even though we are in a same-sex relationship neither one of us is particularly handy fixing things. It took us 10 hours (and counting) to assemble most of the computer hutch. It was a nightmare. A total nightmare. Perhaps, I should be arrested for allowing a 26 week pregnant with twins lady help with assembly.
According to the americanpregnancy.org website I am doing it all wrong. The partner is suppose to be taking her out on dates and giving her a pedicure. The site instructs me to "Make a special attempt this week to make her feel special by taking her on a date or planning a special outing. In Week 25 instructions for pedicures/manicures were given, but you could also schedule an appointment for a day at a spa or a mini-makeover." I am going to hell- I haven't even purchased one Christmas present yet, let alone given the woman a sponge bath or pedicure.
I have one week to fix this and plenty of time to buy a nice present or two.
