Which of course sent me into a tizzy, following all the measurements during u/s's, making sure everything really was as expected. <BR/><BR/>I quit drinking liquid when I ate, and that seemed to help with gas and such a lot. Something about intaking less air with food or something stupid.

I got the "wow, are you big" with all of my pregnancies. I can only imagine how bad it would have gotten if I had carried the twins near term!<BR/><BR/>Of course I am very sensitive to the "are you sure there isn't more than one in there?!?" comment- for obvious reasons. Someone unwittingly said that to me when I was pregnant with Pumpkin and all I could manage was to quietly mumble, "I am quite sure there is only one in there. I know the difference."<BR/><BR/>I am praying for a time machine to drop on your front lawn so you can zip from here to your due date in an instant!!Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05528541804521203406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-13295151428989010862008-03-04T05:49:00.000-05:002008-03-04T05:49:00.000-05:00So stupid, just stupid!BIG hugs and xxxx from me, ...So stupid, just stupid!<BR/><BR/>BIG hugs and xxxx from me, thinking of you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30651776.post-73142558682476048152008-03-03T21:58:00.000-05:002008-03-03T21:58:00.000-05:00Sorry to laugh at your pain.
