little of this, little of that...

so I keep thinking of things to blog about! so I thought I’d do a little post until I have more substantial news to share. But here’s some updates on what’s happening around me.
  • my levels are all moving in the right direction! So that’s a good sign.
  • Almost immediately, my jeans didn’t fit, but of course, that does nothing to help me have clothes that fit and are comfortable. So I just feel large and in charge – because let’s also be honest that all these hormones got me sassy and easily irritable.
  • To that point, if I have offended you over the last several weeks, I’m sorry.
  • And I might as well make apologies if I do offend you in the future…
  • I’m weaning myself off caffeine the best I can. And this SUCKS.
  • My eyes are SO MUCH BIGGER than my stomach. I’ve been ravenous lately (morning sickness has not kicked in yet) and when I eat all that food that I think I want, I’m miserable bc there’s just not room for things and, my stomach is just not that big. I lost a ton of weight in the last 6 months. So I’m steadily debating between the idea of “do I stretch my stomach out now or do I just try to obey my body,…” it’s a constant thought I have because when food sounds good, it sounds SO GOOD.
  • There’s lots of cool things too tho… It does seem that all senses are at a heightened level of intensity these days! Smells are stronger, good food tastes better, even touch has been heightened.
  • As tired as I am in the day, I get wide awake when I lay in bed… what is it with pregnancy insomnia!??!??? I’m hoping that cutting back caffeine will help with that.
  • I get to start working out now! WOOT! Now, I just need to adjust my work schedule to accommodate the working out part.
  • I tear up all the time… at things that are so benign…
  • i'm getting growing pains all the time. stretching, cramping... every time i get a twinge or a pull i smile even tho it's uncomfortable. because i know it's life...
There's something so surreal knowing that there's life inside me. 

Well, I think that's all I have right now.

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...
