I'm now hugely pregnant with another set of twins. I don't mean to take my frustrations out on Gene but I feel awful. I know Tommy feels just as bad so I'm not alone. Trying to get up is awful, my feet are swollen and I look like a pumpkin. I literally have to sleep in the recliner because it takes so long to get upright. Hell, I should sleep in the damned bathroom because I'm always in there.

As I struggle to sit at the kitchen table, Gene comes in and just carries me to it. I shake my head and give up. At least Tom's tall so his stomach doesn't stick out as far. He's struggling with a lot more than being pregnant though. I happen to know he's still fighting with himself over cutting. Thank goodness he hasn't done it in awhile though. 

Ugh! I gotta pee again! As I waddle to the  downstairs bathroom , I hear Gene making his way up the hall  to check on me. "In the bathroom." I yell. 

"Okay. Hey! Do you want take-out or do you want me to cook?"

"Um, take-out's fine. I want sardines and fried pickles." "Give me a few and I'll go with you."

I laugh as Gene gags heading out the door to start the car and put the babies in. Gene carries me out last since my feet hurt like hell.

I settle for fried pickles and chocolate ice cream.
