1/3 of the way there!

Hello friends!
We’re 1/3 if the way there! The IPs are getting excited and finally comfortable enough to start telling their friends about becoming parents! I’m so happy for them. They made the MOST PRECIOUS baby announcement!! Made me cry in the Drs office. :) The IPs even bought baby beds and have started working on their baby room. I love seeing them so happy and excited!!!
13 weeks down... 27 more to go! Man, that sounds like a lot!!! 
My belly is starting to fill out a bit now and I officially can’t wear any of my regular clothes. I have one pair of fat jeans I can wear still and that helps.
So glad to be done w meds and shots! Slowly but surely my back end is getting back to normal and without knots and bruises! Haha!
The peeing every 5 minutes has started. It’s so frustrating at times. But all in all it just means the boys are growing well and that always makes me happy!
Still craving lots of fruits... but don’t have much of an appetite these days. What’s really weird for me, I don’t crave Mexican food... and that’s like... a staple in my normal menu. I’m kinda scared... babies want what babies want!!
I sleep well occasionally as I wake up around 3-4 am almost most nights for about an hour. When I wake up, I’m just. Awake. Sometimes tho, I can roll over and snuggle back to sleep but most nights I just have to ride out the hour or so and wait to fall back to sleep.
My older girls are staying very busy!! I’m worn out on the weekends from chasing them and keeping up with their activities. But as I told y’all before... I’m so proud of them. They are so talented and have the best hearts. Emma is first chair snare in her band!! She’s so proud of herself!!! And Jasmin is one of the best Colorguard members!!! My girls are the bestest!!!
All in all, have to say things are really good. I don’t know that I could be happier!! Fall is about to be here and things are exciting. Hope you all are doing awesome, too!

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...
