September 5th...
I'm sorry for the lateness,but I haven't felt too good these last few days. You see, I came down with something that made me puke and Ed stayed home from being principal to take care of me. Yes I am a nurse,but my body was so weak that I had to be in bed most of the time. Bridget and Kerry kept house,and Rory and my dad and CJ helped. At least it got CJ away from me. Ed laid with me and stroked my hair as he dialed the doctor. Then he helped me into the car and we went to the doctor. The doctor looked at me,and said that I must have came down with the flu again. He told Ed to check on me every few hours and make sure that I was ok. As for the twins,he said they were fine. More bedrest for me until I am well.

I am a lot better now. Ed comes over every day and we talk and he tells me how beautiful I am. Usually I blush and he kisses me on the cheek. The other day, I felt the twins kick. It hurt really bad. Ed was sitting there and all of the sudden I was crying softly(no whimpering of course) Ed asked me what was wrong and I told him,he took me in his arms and told me he loved me a lot. Then he stroked my hair as I laid in his arms. I am so glad to have Ed.

Well now I have decided to update every two weeks now because I am always tired. I realized that back on June 20th,that wasn't a kick. Now I rememeber. Today I decided to go out for a bit. I drove to the park and I fed the birds,and then watched kids playing on the swings. It was great,and I realized I'd get to do the same things with the babies as I did with Bridget,Kerry,and Rory. Then someone covered my eyes. It was Ed with a bunch of roses. He seated himself next to me and we embraced gently. Such a gentleman. I was tired so he offered to drive me home. I got in his car and we headed home. When we got to my house, we sat on the couch. I laid down and Ed put my head on his lap. He was listening to the heartbeats,so he put his head on my stomach. I reminded him that I still get nausea,so he was gentle.Then he got up and I got up and he rubbed my belly. I was suprised he took such good care of me,and I hugged him. Then the kids walked in. They,obviously were disgusted,and walked away. Ed then laid his head against my stomach. I was tired and fell asleep. A few minutes later,he fell asleep in that same position.

Well I just found out that I am carrying girls. Bridget and Kerry are excited,but Rory is mad. Ed is glad. He says one boy is enough. Then I laughed and he kissed my cheek. Ed took me out to dinner lastnight. It was some french restaraunt and I ordered a three course meal and he did the same. Over dinner,he told me how beautiful I have gotten and we talked. Then he drove me home,and we went in and had some coffee...but I think it was too much because Ed went to put his arms around me and he felt a strong kick. I went and laid down,and Ed seated himself next to me and leaned over and kissed my head. Then he said, "Cate,you feel warm. Are you feverish?" I looked up at him and told him maybe I should lay in bed. I went upstairs and got in my pajamas and laid in bed. Ed came up and kissed my damp forehead. He had called the doctor and the doctor came to the house and checked on me and said I needed to come to the hospital. Ed took me out to the car,and we drove. Then the doctor greeted us when we entered and he took us to a room. A few minutes later, he performed an ultrasound. The twins were fine,he said,and I was probably just feverish because of the pregnancy. Ed and I were relieved,and he took me home. I got back into bed and Ed put damp cloths on my forehead,and kissed my cheek. That was quite an nightmare.
October 31 It's Halloween. Ed is handing out candy because I am too tired to. I am laying up in bed and I feel sick to my stomach. I've puked 3 times today. Ed has watched me and he checks on me every so often. Such a nice guy. The girls and Rory have been up to give me soup. I am having a hard time keeping food down,but juice has helped. Ed then came up after he shut things down. He kissed my forehead and hugged me gently around my waist. He gave me some toast and I ate a bit. I felt a bit better.
