Stay @ Home Vaca!

So- I had some,,,, well A LOT of vacation time to use before I "lost" it at work. Thankfully my office manager is awesome and let roll half of it over for my maternity leave and I am able to take some time off before and after my shower- which is this freaking weekend! Wahoo!!! I am officially on vacation! 

Day 1- work ended at 130pm! Met my amazing father in law at Walmart and picked up our 2nd crib- long story short- I'm all about re-using old furniture and we were offered a white crib from his cousin when we first found out it was twins (we already had one set of everything) so we said yes! My hubby picked it up on Memorial Day. It was beyond repair! So new crib and mattress shopping- check! 

Came home- tried to out up said crib! 2 hours later and 6 tries later- it's only halfway finished! The directions weren't the best, not everything was labeled but I do want to point out I said numerous times- this doesn't look right, but nevertheless. We had to stop because it was our nephews HiGH SCHOOL graduation. I'm still in shock and I've only been in this family 7 years. I remember watching Trey's youth league baseball and basketball games, then middle school basketball games, then all of the sudden turned into this adult. A young man with a job, interning at NASA for Pete's sake!!!, having a steady girlfriend and realizing- this was my husband. Trey is Andrews mini me! (He's not that mini just a few inches shorter than Andrew, but they are alike in so many ways!!) not to mention, everyone thinks he looks like he could be Andrew's son! If Andrew were able to father children at the tender age of 8, but anyways! 

I'm honestly surprised my husband didn't cry. It may have been the lack of air supply, sweating, and leg room that kept him occupied, who knows. It is kind of sad knowing our spontaneous bon fires, game nights, and tennis matches will probably be no more as Trey moves into the dorms at WVU, but we are honestly so proud of him! 

I totally didn't intend this post to take this turn, I had other ideas for it- but oh well! 

Vaca Day 2 (today)- wake up bright and early to drink flat, super flat orange pop. Okay, it's not orange pop. The awesome amazing drink that spikes your blood sugar up- that one. In all honesty, the first swig wasn't that bad but when I realized I had so much more to drink... I was over it. I currently have some sort of cough/ sore throat thing going on and coughing leads to gagging which leads to puking. I thought for sure I was a goner... But--- I made it! Yay! So- now I just hope that I DON'T hear from my Dr office, since apparently if they don't contact you- that's a good thing! I got a mini ultrasound, I'm saying mini because the machine is from the 1970s.. It may be the first one ever made- not sure yet.. And we can see, barely, that baby A is in her way head down! Say what?! 

Yes, head down! I cannot wait until my next real ultrasound to check on her little feet! My dr did do a little digging and found her feet and said nothing looked obvious to her- so fingers crossed! Currently, I should be cleaning- but--- I'm pulling one of these 

He's such a bad influence ;) 

Happy 25 Weeks!

Seriously- I am so blessed! I am 25 weeks today! I know I say this everytime but I cannot believe I have made it this far! 

So yesterday was my follow up one month growth scan.. Baby A is still breech, so feet down and head up by my ribs. Baby A was and has always been the difficult one (which Andrew made the comment about resembling me- I now know why). She is the girl who won't let us see her little feet well enough! We can see them, we just can't tell if they are squished against my uterus or not. However, since Baby As head is pretty far up- I did get an awesome 3D picture! I seriously love our ultrasound tech. At first I didn't know how to take her, she is kind of quiet and with Andrews hearing problem- it just sounded like she was mumbling the whole time. But she is too cute! She was like- honestly I was hoping someone else would be here to scan you because I hate telling you I can't see her feet again! We laughed that she would be the stubborn one and that she already has a favorite! 

Anywho- Baby A is breech, weighing in at 1lb 12 ounces, last weight @ 21/22 weeks: 14 ounces, at 17  weeks: 7 ounces! So excellent growth! They both have long arms and legs, which they must get from the both of us! 

Baby B is now officially head down! She is weighing in at 1lb 14 ounces, last weight @ 21/22 weeks: 15 ounces, at 17 weeks: 7 ounces! Also awesome growth! She has long arms and legs as well! Her feet are perfect, but since her head is Down near my pelvis- she was unable to get a 3D picture of her! :/ 

Their growth is within 5% of each other which is also amazing! My BP was 120/70! Yay! 

I have my regular OB visit on may 29th where I have to do my glucose test- yuck! Not looking forward to that for sure.. Then I return back June 17th for another growth scan! 

Besides the girls, Andrew has officially painted the room! It looks awesome- it's not done yet, but we are so so close! We planted all of our flowers and landscapes with river rock! I was exhausted from that! Andrew kept saying - go get scissors or go get pavers or do this. I finally said, yes master. I'm only 24 weeks pregnant with TWO of your children but ill go be your biatch and get it for you.. :) :) 

Babysitting this weekend was nuts! She was sick with an ear infection and she is normally clingy anyways. I crashed both nights after she left. Ate my ice cream and took a nap! I really don't know how much longer I can continue to babysit, I honestly do more work babysitting her because she needs to be held 24/7; than I do in 12 hours at work! :/ she's a doll baby though! 

24 Weeks & 2 Eggplants!

Yesterday marked 24 weeks for us! Which is a big deal as viability is up to 50-70%! Not that I want them to come anytime soon, but from here on out- we have hope! 

Not much else to update! I haven't been feeling very well today but I puked my breakfast up and that did seen to help somewhat. 

My shower is literally 2 weeks away! I'm so excited! I can't believe it! My mini vacation is less than 2 weeks away!! Wahoo!!! I'm pumped enough for a 3.5 day weekend this weekend even with babysitting for 2 of those days- I can't wait until I have a little 8 day break! Which will be filled with baby shower finishing touches and a crap ton of organizing our home! 

Track season is officially over- done! Finally! He ended the year with a picnic last night and we are donzo! PTL! 

Now the babies room can finally be painted! We picked out paint today and decided on tan! Hopefully my vision works out-- or it could fail miserably! Haha! 

23 Weeks 1 Day!

23 Weeks! I am amazed! 8 months ago or more- if you would have told me I would be pregnant .. I wouldn't have believed you! Fast forward, 8 months later- I am 23 weeks along with TWIN girls! Seriously, how much more blessed can I be?

Wait- I am. I am blessed more than I ever deserve!

It's been a while since I last posted. I created a blog post which I didn't end up uploading. It was a woe is me, my husband doesn't pay attention to me because he is obsessed with track season and leaves me hanging.

But- how lucky am I that he takes on a team of 100+ kids, schedules 11 track meets so he can divide the kids up to make sure they get to go to enough meets. Practices every day. He's gone from 430-730. He took on this track team 3 years ago when no one else would. There was no coach. At the time, he said 2 hours a day- easy money. It's so much more than that now, but what if that had been our kids. No one to coach the track team to which 100 kids come out for (only 3 grade levels) and my baby girls wanted to run.

I was frustrated a few days ago, felt that he was constantly gone. As an emotional hormonal pregnant lady, I was upset. I felt like I was alone going through this pregnancy. We had a long talk/cry about how involved he is and he has really made such a better effort to talk to me, talk to the girls, and just be home. Be with me. His wife. Because no matter what happens, I'm the one behind all of his crazy decisions, supporting him through everything. I will be here when it's all said and done.

This post may not make a bit of sense, but I needed to get it out. I've been feeling so insanely happy and blessed. I'm in love with my life, my husband and my girls. It's truly doesn't get any better. I am praying every day that those who haven't got to experience this- get too.. As crazy of a journey pregnancy is- I wouldn't change it for the world.
