I've stooped to some new parenting lows since entering my eighth month of this twin pregnancy. I've taken Bijou to Chuck E Cheese twice in the last week because I can just sit at a table with a cup full of coins while she goes between playing the games and checking back in with me. It definitely beats the backaches and "uterine irritability" I would endure from a more educational outing to a museum or the zoo or something. Unfortunately, the weather has been horribly cold for the last two weeks so my plans for lounging around at the pool have fell through.
In addition to the Chuck E Cheese outings, I've upped the limit of television per day to no limit at all. I think I may have reached a new high the other day with approximately 5 hours of cartoon viewing, but who's really counting. I mentioned this to the nurse who was assisting during my bi-weekly stress tests at the hospital and she said, "oh don't worry about it. Just do what you have to do. As long as she isn't watching The Real Housewives of New Jersey, she will be fine." That made me feel better, as did this homemade bakery project we made the other day.
