Hello World!!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that the 3 of us are doing good. I have happily settled into my new home and am feeling great. Like Brad said, Monday we were certainly hit by a MackTruck with all of this. Tuesday was a little more of the same-just worry and shock. Brad stayed with me that night on the air mattress and poor guy froze to the bone. I have never seen him even cold in seven years and he was asking for extra blankets in the middle of the night and he had goosebumps all day on Wednesday. Wednesday we did the surgery and it went as well as it could. I was a WRECK to say the least. One, I am TERRIBLE with medical procedures so I was very nervous. Secondly, I was so worried for the babies. After you sign all of the consents telling you that the procedure could have complications like losing the pregnancy - you get a little freaked out. Add the pregnancy hormones to all that and I was one teary girl. I just kept apologizing to Brad telling him I was trying to be really brave! They basically hung me upside down and I remember hearing what I kept thinking was a huge can of shaving cream-still don't know what that was though and I keep forgetting to ask my dr. It was relatively quick and I must add that the spinal was the craziest thing I have ever experienced!
I really did well afterwards too. They insisted on pain meds to keep everything quiet and I was flat for 48 hours-no getting out of bed for any reason.
Thursday, I got a spa bath...a really nice term for bed bath. It was actually WONDERFUL. I felt much better but still just longed to wash my hair.
Friday was a sicky day b/c they put me back on prenatals-in the morning and on an empty stomach-my fault. I slept most of the day. The BEST thing happened though at about 4:30...I GOT SHOWER PRIVALEDGES!!! You cannot EVEN imagine the joy of washing your hair after 5 days. I thought I would start crying in the shower b/c it was so great. My dr came in after and I told him I would lay flat as long as he told me as long as I could shower every few days-I wasn't going to push daily :)
So, there is our week! Again, the babies are perfect and as long as their mommy can hold up we should be good. I am here for the duration and honestly just thankful the drs caught all of this. I can handle anything as long as they are ok. I actually thought today that I am good at being alone and in silence. I am pretty mellow and Brad was more annoyed that I was just laying here in silence and asked me if I wanted to take up knitting??? I just laughed histerically!
Most of all, thank you for all of the calls, visits, and prayers. The prayers are the most important thing we all need now.
I will keep posting as much as I have Brad's laptop. I have funny pics to take already :)
