The anxiety of parenting catches me by surprise still. The twins were born at 34 weeks, Nadia was 4 lbs, Aidan was 4 lbs 11 oz.. It was actually very good, being able to hold off the delivery until 34 weeks. Magnesium drips, etc.. Anyway, they're still small, and I'm still a worried momma, and that's never going to change. Perhaps neither is the nagging feeling that if something is not 'within normal limits', I need an intervention. Is that the nurse in me? And/or the mother? Anyway, the twins need their autism screening tests repeated. Nadia hasn't passed the vision test (she's hyper and stubborn, she closes her eyes and shakes her head). Aidan is like the poster boy for stranger anxiety: he doesn't do new people, which makes him difficult to test also. So I'm sure the kids aren't autistic. But I'm also sure that parental denial is a huge thing and it's possible I could miss something. So we'll repeat the tests, and I'll try not to flip out.
Restoril is obviously some kind of joke, it doesn't do a damn thing for the insomnia. Picking up some samples for Seroquel at one today. 50-100 mg, I heard, is supposed to knock you out. If not, I may just decide to accept that falling asleep is something that happens to other people, and start having fun at 2 am instead of just laying there thinking too much.
Also I am craving sweet potatoes again.
