A little bit longer. 

Implantation was done 8 days ago.I got my first blood test done today. Late today. After 4 days of executing the best and only employee event we have each year for all of my workplaces' staff. We all come together 1 time a year and get training and meet together to review the year that was and the year to come. It truly motivates me, moves me and gets us ready for another stellar year!! 
 
Well. Now that all my events are over, we can now focus on if we got a bun in the oven!!! It's been over a week since implantation and let's get caught up on where we are:
  • I can't work out
  • I can't suck in
  • I've had cramping every day
  • I'm hungry. So hungry. But can barely eat it. And if I stuff myself I'm miserable. It's legit like there's less room in there. 
  • I have to act as if I'm pregnant so no raw fish, no deli meat. No alcohol. 
  • No hot tubs
  • I take shots daily 
  • My rear looks like I've been beaten from all the knots and shots. It's been a hard 13 days. 
  • I take a ton of hormones
  • I am hot almost all the time
  • My pants don't really fit right now
  • My boobs are sensitive. (Sorry. Tmi. But relevant.) 
So. To answer you all... no... even if I did, I wouldn't tell you! Haha!! But. I'm not doing at home pregnancy tests because I don't want to be a bearer of inaccurate news. But I have had mild uterine cramping which I hope is just my belly adjusting to two embryos. :) it could still go either way. So I'm not super sure. 

 Y'all stay tuned. After 3 or so blood tests I think the Dr will be ok to make a call. But I can't wear my low jeans because they cut into my skin.

The 'Post' post

Hello again, friends. Today's installment will be talking about what all I've done since having the twins. I've had lots of positive feedback from my last blog and I want to thank all of you for your continued support, love and feedback.  In my last post, I talked about the emotional ups and downs I experienced but there has been so much more to tell you! Right after we had the twins, I think I mentioned before that I had to receive 2 units of blood, I was extremely weak and exhausted. I had never had a C-Section before. I knew that I was prone to be anemic when I wasn't pregnant, but I did not know I was borderline anemic while being pregnant. I mean, I craved red meat and dark greens, so I should have known... but I thought that was just the babies fighting for craving rights to my body! Haha! After being moved to my recovery room, I was still hooked up to all the things from the C-section - IV, catheter, oxygen, heart monitor. I wasn't allowed to walk yet and t...

Lets discuss the hard stuff...

It's been a while since I've posted... and I'm sorry for that. I am so grateful for the boyfriend and all of my friends/family who have reached out and checked up on me to see how I'm doing.  First question I know you're all wondering... How are the babies!? They are doing amazingly! Their parents are ROCKSTARS!!!! The babies are the sweetest and best nuggets ever!!! I'm so blessed that the parents allow me to keep up with them and see their adorable faces. This was an important aspect for me when deciding to pair up with the parents and they are very sweet to check on me even when they're raising two newborns! Next most common question I get is how are my emotions. This, in my opinion, is the hardest part of the experience/process. I expected to have the emotional roller coaster but there were so many things I didn't expect. I have never been one to hide away from pointing out the elephant in the room... so let's just get into this, shall we...

a world of change

Hi Friends! I know it has been WAY TOO LONG since I've updated you. I did exactly what I needed to do over the Holidays and that was rest and spend time with those I love. This was the first year I did not see my family in Texas. I do miss them so much, but it just wasn't safe for me to travel down there and due to the hurricane recovery, my family wasn't able to come up this way as they're still trying to finish getting their houses back together and find their new normal. But you can bet your rears I rested, napped, played with the kids, spent time with My Favorite and even was able to have a Christmas dinner and spend quality time with my IPs!  Well, when I went back to work last week, I started having contractions and started swelling pretty bad. There are days when I am on my feet a lot and super active and then days where I'm sitting a lot and neither of these things are good for controlling swelling and keeping contractions at bay. We had my 28 week a...
