Just for FUN...

Heading into WEEK 27

It has been a couple weeks and we have been busy preparing to enter the last few months of pregnancy. Last week I had a doctors appointment and Baby A was weighing 2 pounds and Baby B was at 2 pounds 2 ounces. Both babies seem to be growing at the same pace as of yet which I guess is AWESOME for fraternal twins. So fingers crossed the boys play nice and continue to share nutrients. I on the other hand have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes...BIG FAT BOOOO! I think the hardest thing about being pregnant is the eating. I have cravings for fruit and veggies ...not so much for protein which is a constant struggle. I found out today and honestly I have been really irritated about it until I walked into my newly decorated nursery and was reminded of why I am going through all of this. I am in love with these two little boys growing in my belly and I will do whatever I need to keep them healthy....but DANG it I will miss my nightly Schwans ice cream bar...and Rob better not be eating them while I am around or there could be trouble :)

The Nursery :)

Thank you to our dear friend Linda Russell for making this room perfect for our two little boys!

I am sorry were you talking to me?

This week has brought on new and interesting challenges thankfully I have fixed one problem...walking...yeah pain that radiates through the hips do not help matters. I got a massage on Wednesday morning and let me tell you ladies who have gone through the dark ages of pregnancy without the aid of massage and support belts. YOU ARE AMAZING and I willfully bow to your superior strength. Just when I thought there is no way I am going to make it any longer my magical massage therapist fairy showed up and whisked the hip pain away :) She also showed me how to use pillows at night to sleep better...HA! I tried last night and I swear to you I did everything she told me to do ...pillow wedge here and long pillow there and prop up that...um nope not like it was when she did it. I will give it another go around tonight but it is not looking promising. Is it too early in the pregnancy to kick hubby to the couch? hmmm still contemplating. Also today I have noticed that although I am walking good ...I am in a permanent state of LALA Land. Did you all visit there? Yeah its interesting. I feel like I have no cares in the world and I cannot remember what or where...hmmm reminds me of the good ol' days when I could have a cocktail or two. Maybe this is Gods way of giving me some peace during this tramatizing time :) Whatever it is it is not good for Driving, working or having a meaningful conversation...Welcome to week 25...What have I DONE?

Let me introduce you to...

AUSTIN and TRAVIS...That is right our boys have names :) Which is great because with them kick boxing in my stomach its much nicer using names to ask them politely to calm down please mommy is trying to work. 4th of July weekend went great but I have to say that my time outside shall be limited because the heat and me do not agree. I got really used to my dad being here doing all the cooking and cleaning and I want him to come back soon please! Also dresses..YES PLEASE! I definitely appreciate having no waist band right now with the expansion happening in that region. I plan on wearing my 2 dresses until they fall apart..I hope they make it until the boys come....If not I am sure that a tent and/or muu muu will be in order.

First Mommy Moment

Ring Ring Ring

Receptionist: Dr. Dernbochs Office how may I help you?

Me: Hi I am not sure what I need to do but I am pregnant with twins and they need a pediatrician...

Receptionist: So your a new mom then?

Me: Yes!

Receptionist: Alright then lets put you on the list and as soon as the babies are born the hospital will call her and she will be right over to see the babies.

I was put on the list and BAM! I had my first moment of being mommy...now if everything can go this smoothly I am in business :)
