Asher’s Thanksgiving weekend

So here I sit, in bed, with my lap top, listening to my youngest babble away in his crib where he is supposed to be napping.  He has been in there for about an hour now, happily chatting away to himself.  Because it is 3:15 and I was late putting him down at all, if [...]

But, she seemed like such a sweet girl…

A little story from my gym this morning:
Two young, cute girls are at the lockers getting ready to head out for the day.  One has a “Lifetime Fitness” bag on the bench.
“Wow, how’d you get that bag?  I love it, can you buy those from here?”
“I don’t know.  I was just walking past this office [...]

For the love of babies

Wow, just a few days since my last post but it seems like so much has happened.  I’ve been having some pretty crazy dreams lately.  You think preggo dreams are weird, try surro dreams!
So, the other night, I dreamt that I was pregnant.  I know, big deal.  But you see, I was about 5-6 months [...]

Ménage à trois of thoughts

One:
Over the past week, these babies movements have become much more noticeable.  I’m loving that I can lean back and tell pretty quick that they are awake or asleep in there.  They totally fall asleep while I’m at the gym walking so, P and J, you may have to find a way to fit a treadmill [...]

You can’t believe everything you read

I’m feeling a tad misunderstood so I want to make something clear.  First, when I obsess over the scale, it is the scale alone and not, as it turns out, what I’m eating.  Odd as that sounds, it was that way with losing the weight as well so to me it makes sense.  I set [...]

My deepest apologies!

Ever so sorry for leaving you hanging.  I did not have access to update my blog after the appointment until ~9PM and I was too tired then.
The US went great!!  Two babies, two membranes, two placentas, two cords well formed and coming and going from and to where they should.  They are still measuring a [...]

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow…

Well, ‘Love’ might be a bit extreme… but who can resist the chance to use a sappy Orphan Annie song quote?
Tomorrow is a big day!  Tomorrow we have THE ultrasound.  The level II ultrasound that shows us hopefully two healthy, happy, growing little babies.  Pending the important part of two healthy babies, we could also [...]

When a blog isn’t really a blog

So yesterday, because it makes me feel good to hear about people that are worse off than myself, I was googling blogs about people that had gained a lot more weight than they should’ve in a twin pregnancy.  I was using the handy google blog specific search to only get personal stories.  Sadly, generally what [...]

The inchworm from hell

I’ve decided there is something whacked out about those damn charts.  Seriously, how can I be fighting it tooth and nail and still gain just on the outside of what I should be AND as soon as I blink for a second (or, ya know, the weekend) I put on 2 whole pounds instantly?  How?  [...]

The flip side of the coin

I actually went down in weight from yesterday!  I don’t know that I can force myself to eat more than I did yesterday so I’m hoping it was just a fluke.  I’ve got heartburn as we speak from breakfast and I’m eyeing the banana and apple I have at my desk and I don’t think [...]
