Park bench

What a crappy rainy day. Luckily got a cab quickly this morning to go uptown for the growth scan. Mr. wonderful (baby A) is 5 lbs and 3 oz. He had a growth spurt from the last go around. His sister is weighing in at 4 lbs 3 oz. Sounds like I am announcing a prize fight. Anyway, they are looking good. The doctor said not to be concerned about her size as it's unlikely the boy was taking all the nutrition. M has to go back in 2 weeks to make sure the girl is growing appropriately. The ultrasound tech said the babies were all squished and getting a good picture wasn't happening today.

The tech mentioned to us that she is part of a girl-boy twin pair. Interesting. She would be the girl. She said growing up it was challenging at times, because she was better in school than her brother. And she felt pressure not to be a model student as her brother wasn't the smartest kid (her words). Hmmmm and here I thought not dressing them alike would cut down on any comparison pressure.

M is getting pretty sore and swollen. She is such a non-complainer...but is getting more vocal about being uncomfortable. This weekend we have to find her shoes she can wear. I could have sworn she mentioned clogs? Uh- that does not sound safe. I bet we will find a reasonable alternative to clogs.

We finally had the contractor guys leave after a week. Who the hell would think it would take a week to build out and organize a closet and install washer/dryer? I under-estimate the handy people. We still have stuff all around the apartment that needs to be sorted and organized. I am going to complain here: I cannot believe how long it takes to get ready to prepare for baby arrival. I am begging for some air(that isn't found in a babiesRus store). I suggested to M that we sit on a park bench up at Wave Hill (overlooks the Hudson river). We use to go there all the time after IVF weekend blood-work. It's strange when sitting on a park bench seems exciting.
