So how are you feeling?

It's a hard question to answer somedays.. I get it a lot. I sometimes wonder what answer people want to hear. I could give you the long winded version that consists of, "Well, my ankles are swollen...It hurts to sit, its hurts to stand, and I feel slightly lopsided...blah blah blah or I am waddling already when I walk and I'm sleeping miserably...." HELLO?! I'm not gonna say that everytime. I don't need the sympathy, hell,  I'm the one that myself into this mess so I just answer everyone with, "fat." Its easy, simple and to the point because well, that's how I feel!

I would like to say I have pep in my step because I'm in my second trimester.. but I don't. After working 40 hours a week and taking take of little man alone because the hubs is at work, I don't feel like doing anything. I don't want to clean or cook or do laundry. Do I feel guilty? meh... not really. In fact, this is how my living room looks most days.

This is actually not that bad.

 

I know it wont always be this way but it still makes you feel bad to come home to a not so pretty house and have no energy to even make dinner... but its just a phase...  I will continue to drink my cup o coffee daily to try and help my energy... (go ahead and judge me mommy martyrs, it won't change my coffee habits) and hope for the best! Thanks for letting me vent!

Like mother, like son... he's just as tired as me..

 

22 weeks!

Being pregnant is hard. Being pregnant with twins is real hard. Being pregnant with twins and having a 16 month old running around, is real f$%^ing hard.

Morning sickness was barely an issue with JB... I can probably count on one hand how many times I lost my lunch... With these twins, it happens constantly. I finally stopped throwing up around my 19 week mark once I realized that my love for the Mcdonald's $1 breakfast menu had to come to a stop...Breakfast sausage had to go... Now so far, so good. No blowing chunks for a month now.

We had another ultrasound last week and everything went well! Everyone has all their arms, legs, kidneys, blah blah blah. Here are some pics from the ultrasound!

This is our little boy!



This is our little girl sucking her thumb!

Here is my creepy bathroom bump pic at 22 weeks!

 

I already feel like I did when I was 8 months pregnant last time... Its going to be a looooonnnng 18ish weeks from here on out but hopefully I can manage. Its already hard to stand/walk for longer than 1 hour at time. I actually had to sell my beloved luke bryan concert ticket because I just can't hang. I feel so lame.
maybe next year I will make it...

uh.. what the.. twins? twins..twins!

So this will be my first of hopefully many blog posts that I plan to start.. We will see how or if I can keep it up.

No promises :)

As most of you know by now, the officer and I found out we are expecting not one, but TWO babies in December. Its been a while since we learned of the shocking, terrifying, exciting news but I think it has finally set in that we are going from a family of 4 to 6!

I will try to keep up with updates on the pregnancy, doctor appointments, and life in general...

more to come soon!
