The kicking will continue until morale improves....

...Now at 34 weeks, Mama Wendy is trying to keep herself focused on work and other responsibilities (namely as mother to Princess Abigail and wife to King Anthony) as her belly expands beyond its former limits and as ritualistic beatings occur from the inside out! The twin princes are actively moving around and letting Mama Wendy know when its time to eat, time to drink, time to rest, time to move, time to roll over and even when to change the music station! At a doctor's visit last Friday, the family learned that the princes were pushing 4 lbs. each -- and were doing extremely well. Great news for all of us. Mama Wendy spent yesterday on Martha's Vineyard (sadly, for work purposes and not for a lovely day trip...), and learned quickly that around this time in a pregnancy, it may be time to reduce hours and take a few more naps. Fortunately, she didn't get ill (sea sick) on either the ferry ride over from the Cape or back, and in general, enjoyed her time playing PR gal! She returned home to her beautiful family and a homecooked meal prepared by the hands of King Anthony (what a wonderful treat) which included Mojito grilled chicken with vegetables and a wonderful treat from the new candy shoppe down the street, RICKY's, a chocolate covered Twinkie! Yum-yum! We'll all be back at the doctor's this week to double-check status of the princes, and will be doing so weekly until their expected arrival between 9/20-10/4.
