Normal sized boys and stupid tears at king stupids

Two weeks ago I had an ultrasound that measured one boy at 3 pounds 6 ounces and the other boy at 4 pounds 11 ounces!! I worried about it for a day and then I realized that they must have gotten their measuring wrong. So today, back in the docs office, Baby A is 4 pounds 3 ounces and Baby B is 4 pounds 12 ounces. Yay!


That was the good part of my day, the horrible part was trying to go to king soopers on graduation day. My body does ok when I walk and I can even walk for about an hour. But my body does NOT do ok standing. I have between five and ten minutes of standing before my feet start hurting, my legs start throbbing, my heart starts racing and I feel light headed and my back starts to ache. In other words, I can't stand standing.

So I walk around the store and get my groceries and everything is ok because I'm moving and then I go to stand in line and the lines are all long. So I get in what looks to me like the shortest line and in about 3-4 minutes after not moving forward at all, a checker opens the next lane. He motions to the guy in front of me to come over (ignores me) and the dude in front of me has to go around the candy part and I have to move out of his way and let him by. It never crosses his mind to say, "hey, you're already there, and your are extremely pregnant, you go ahead...". And I'm not the pushy type, so I don't jump in front of him but now my line is shorter to I move up. I should have followed him because the checker whose line I chose was the slowest checker ever. He's the type of guy who looks at every apple to make sure that they are all the same type. And the dude who was buying his groceries (and we're talking a TON of groceries) has a large number of coupons that apparently don't match his groceries.

So I'm standing there going from foot to foot (it's been about 15 minutes now) while watching the dude hand over one coupon after another. The the checker looks over the receipt to seee if that coupon matches one of the 254 items that he bought and then he shakes his head, "nope".
So the dude says, "sorry, oh wait, maybe this one".
A minute and a half later, "nope".
"Oh this one's good"
"Try this one".

At this point I was almost in tears. But I held it together until the parking lot and I burst into tears. I cried all the way home. I wasn't in too much pain, I jut couldn't stop crying.
I'm gonna take some time off from the grocery store for a while.
