January Wrap-Up

Thank God January is over! Now that was a  tough month to get through. I'm finally (yay!!) feeling better, despite a few bouts of "night sickness". Right around 6 pm I was getting headaches, nausea, upset stomach, cramps, and extreme fatigue. That has slowly been subsiding and I think February will bring me better days as I near the end of the first trimester.

We (yes, we- all 4 of us) went to my first real OB appointment yesterday. You would have never guessed, but I have been a WRECK thinking about going to this visit. I was honestly preparing for the worst. My biggest fear was when they went to look the nurse would say "I thought there was supposed to be 2?". Ah! It started consuming my every thought, and I truly think it may have been adding to all my issues. But, all went perfectly. The babies have grown, had strong heartbeats, and were moving their little limbs all over. The only scary news the Dr had to deliver was the fact that by 28 weeks, I will look like I'm 40 weeks. Super! Also, we have managed to come up with two girls names, and one boy name! Just one more to pick!

The Dr said the babies are measuring a week early so here they are at 10 weeks. The due date is now Sept 1. The Dr also said that they will absolutely not let me go past 38 weeks, but being my 3rd pregnancy and twins, I should expect something to happen around 34-36 weeks. I'm not going to push anything because I know it's all just a waiting and guessing game until the very end!

My sweet boy also dropped a bomb on us this month. It went exactly like this..."Trux needs a bath". Me: "Why?". "He smells like shit!!". I guess I really do need to start watching what I say! And he needs to just stop growing so fast :( He started saying mommy SO clearly now, and I love the way it sounds!! I could ramble on and on about the conversations we have! My favorite part of the day is in the morning when he tells me about his dreams- animals, the beach, his birthday, and Dixie to name a few. Ohhhh innocence....

Miss Lee Lee Bug has been the meanest little girl lately! Her favorite word is NOOO. She won't kiss or hug, she actually runs the other way. Temper tantrums are part of her daily routine. She can't decide what she wants, but it's definitely not what I choose. Wonder where she gets it? ;) She tries soo hard to keep up with her big brother, and gets so angry when she can't do something he does- like climb on the couch or dress herself. . She'll be happy once she is the big sister and has someone trying to copy her. Maybe.Potty training is beginning and she is actually into it! We only have gotten one pee on the potty so far.

Mike of course has been working hard. Between work, the kids, and taking care of a bitchy pregnant wife, he is holding up pretty well. He has even managed to squeeze in some time to tile our bathroom floor. What a lucky lady I am!
