I guess I should just resign myself to the fact that I'm going to be on some form of bedrest from now until the babies come. I had my 24 week appointment yesterday and I was SO hoping that my doctor would take me off of bedrest--no such luck. There is technically nothing wrong--no preterm labor or dialation of my cervix or anything like that--but because I had problems when I was pregnant with Jackson, and because I have 2 babies in there this time, I remain on modified bedrest.
Basically that means that I'm supposed to be "stationary" for most of the day--I cant go schlepping around the grocery store and unloading the groceries, cant do big, heavy loads of laundry, cant chase Jackson around (yeah right--tell him that!), etc. Really, I'm not supposed to engage in any strenuous activity.
So, I guess it was a good idea NOT to tell my doctor that I went to Disney World this past weekend--she probably would have had a heart attack! We had a great time! For the first time we took Jackson to Mickey's Not-so-Scary Halloween Party and it was AWESOME! I highly recommend it to anyone who's going down there in September or October! Jackson dressed up in his Woody costume from last year and got pictures with the characters from Toy Story. We got TONS of candy and saw the super-cute Halloween parade that they put on.
I promise pictures are coming....

I'm still here...
The good news is that we FINALLY got a new laptop! The bad news is that I still havent figured out how to download pictures onto it to post them. But, I promise a whole slew of pictures is coming in the near future!
We took our 3rd Disney World trip of the year over Labor Day weekend and we had such a great time! Jackson just loves Disney so much--it's all he talks about when we're at home! His favorite rides are the Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Toy Story. He also really loves the parades that are at the different parks throughout the day.
As you can imagine, Disney is the absolute last place on earth that my doctor wanted me to go. But, I promised her that I would rent a scooter and not walk all over the earth and she relented. So, I did it--Brian actually rented me one of those little scooters and I just scooted myself all over the place! As funny as it may seem (and, trust me, it was) it was truly a life-saver. There is no way I could have walked around all over the parks. We're planning on sneaking back down there again this weekend, but I will NOT be telling my doctor about this trip...
Mainly because yesterday, at 22 weeks and 3 days pregnant, she put me on modified bedrest. Not because anything significant has happened, though. I went in for an unscheduled visit with her because I started having some weird pains that I wanted to get checked out, and she decided to go ahead and have me start resting more. Of course, this news has come AFTER we'd made our plans and reservations in Orlando, so there will be lots more scooting around for me!
The same day I was put on bedrest, Jackson got sick and went to the doctor as well. Turns out he has an ear infection in his right ear. This is the first time he's ever had an ear infection in his life, and only the 3rd time in his life that he's ever been sick, so I pride myself on keeping him healthy for most of his 2 1/2 years on this planet! But, he's on antibiotics and is already feeling much better. He's still very, very excited about going to Disney this weekend!
So, that's what is going on around here. The babies are rockin-and-rollin all the time in my belly--I'm constantly being kicked and poked by one or both of them (I really dont think they every sleep in there!). They did an ultrasound yesterday when I went in for the pains and Hadden is still head-down and low. McCall flipped around and is now head-up and higher up in my belly, so I'm being kicked and punched at both ends!
