Random laugh...

Friday.

At school.

Brandon: Mrs. W? You know me and my brother were in my mommy's belly at the same time.

Me: Oh yeah? (knowing his brother is a few years younger than he is)

Brandon: Yeah. I came out first though, because mommy ate me before she ate him.

Me: LOLOLOLLLL

How else would babies get in mommy's tummy???? It makes sense to me!

I'M NOT FAT....

I'M PREGNANT!!!! :o)

Here's the story...exactly as it happened today...

Today was photo day at school.

I got all cute...yeah real cute...got lots of compliments even. Lookin' cute and preggo.

All the kids got their pictures taken...one kid had an accident while waiting in line (yum...two kids in front of him and behind him were standing in a puddle...nice) so the lady who was watching my kids in the hallway who had already had their photos taken had to help the little boy get cleaned up. So I had to stand in the hallway.

All the kids were finally done with the photos and I hadn't had mine taken yet, so I got another lady to watch my class so I could get my picture taken.

I went up the stairs and the photographer was off chatting with someone else...so I mentioned that it was my class that she had just finished, but I hadn't had a chance to get my picture taken.

She looked at me and smiled and said...

"No problem! Its not over until the fa..t.....laa...dyy....sings....??" (As she stares awkwardly at my belly...tripping over her words)

ME:

I'M NOT FAT!!!!! I'M PREGNANT WITH TWINS!!!!!!!!

We both had a good laugh...and she was really embarrassed...mumbling something about a poor choice of words. Lol. Thanks lady.

Then I went to my OB appointment (truly disappointing by the way...I didn't realize how crummy their equipment is...no wonder they can't tell you the gender until 18w...I could barely tell I was lookin' at a baby!!) and found out I'd gained 4lbs in the past month....meaning my grand total weight gain for this pregnancy so far is....

11lbs.

Nice one. 14 weeks...11lbs...yikes.

What can I say...I'm tryin' to grow 'em big!!

I'm sure the cheeseburger a day from various fast food places for the past week haven't helped.

BUT I NEEDED THEM.

Really.

Okay okay...I'll try to eat more fruit. But Katie...you know that book you were reading and recommended (When you're expecting twins, triplets or quads)....they want us to eat fast food for breakfast EVERY MORNING...my stomach can't handle that...so I eat it later in the day....and I still haven't gained as much weight as they want me to by this point. So I think I'm doin' just fine.

I'll just keep tellin' myself that.

*wink*

Last little disclaimer...I just eat the wh.op.per ju.nior...no fries...no soda...so it can't be THAT bad right?

Oh...and did I mention that at the specialist's office the Dr. said I was at the "ideal weight" and he wants me to gain 50lbs total for this pregnancy?

So I'm doin' just fine right? :o)

Oh...and that stinkin' H1N1 vaccine...what to do...what to do??????? It freaks me out that this thing has not been tested....but am I gonna die if I get the flu and I'm pregnant? So should I risk dying...and therefore not being able to carry the babies (obviously)....or should I risk my health and my developing babies' health by getting a shot that people truly know nothing about. Is there mercury in it? Are there adjuvents (or whatever they are....) in there that could be bad? Part of the problem is I just don't understand half this stuff and what it is. *sigh*

I asked my OB today and she said "I don't know what to tell you. Its up to you."

Thanks.

I guess I have some praying to do...if you all have any insight...let me know. I've got an appointment to get it next Friday...but I'm REALLY on the fence about it.

On a side note, I have a bunch of awards over at Katie's blog that I WILL be getting to soon...maybe this weekend...I do appreciate them...and I do need to accept them (before you delete my name LOL).

TGIF tomorrow. :o) :o)

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! :o)

Had my appointment with the specialist today!!! Super fun appointment...my mom was here...my sis drove in....and DH was there...lol...I brought a whole crew! We got to look at the babies for a good 30 minutes while they did all the measuring and everything. I even drank half a milkshake beforehand so they would be extra wiggly...but they didn't move too much...they must have been sleepy!!

Baby A was really stubborn so she did the measurements on Baby B first (who was sucking away on its thumb!)...Baby B is measuring 13w 6d...little FATTY!! :o)

Baby A decided to finally somewhat cooperate....measuring at 13w and 1d.

So OF COURSE I asked her to take a guess at the GENDERS....sooooooooooooo....do you AGREE??!!! :o)

After the nurse left, the Doctor came in and said he was DEFINITELY sure that Baby B was a BOY!!!! And Baby A wasn't cooperating again...so we'll try to see again next time! *sigh*

When I came home from work later today DH had these two little outfits waiting for me....AWWWWWWWWWWWWW.

He kept the reciepts of course...just in case my little "girl" ends up being just a late blooming "boy"!!! :o)

Oh happy happy day!!!!!!!!!!

Does this make me look fat?

I can't tell you how many people commented on my belly today...this shirt was the most belly accentuating shirt ever. I even had someone reach out and touch my belly for the first time...that was WEIRD. Especially since I'm not completely sure that its babies making it get THAT big...I think I'm just getting a little tubby too...so I'm a lil self conscious still.

Plus I'm like...they're not up that high yet...and people touch around the belly button area...and my button is still an innie!! Very much so. (in other words...babies aren't pushing it out...so it must be chub right?) Or maybe the babies are just pushing my intestines up and out...and so people are rubbing my intestines. Nice. :o)

This shirt is not a maternity shirt...but once again one of those lovely shirts that are supposedly "in style" these days that looks maternity...I have lots of them in my wardrobe so that's nice!! (mainly because when I wasn't preggo and definitely was getting a bump (from being depressed) I didn't want people to wonder about me!! So big shirts cover little bumps....but not my bump now!!!!!!!)

Anyhoo....just wanted to share that with you...now I need to make some dinner!!! Or maybe make DH make dinner...yeah yeah...I'll sit on the couch and watch Kin.g of Q.ueens....

Spoiled.

Yay for Fall!!!

I have been to three farms in the past three days!! The weather has been so lovely...and Fall-y that its been perfect farm weather!

Saturday, DH and I went and dug up our own mums...not as easy as it looks...the roots are WAY smaller than the bush!! And the bush is only held up by this little stem...that snaps quite easily...but we did allright!

Yesterday I went with my friend to take some belly pics (she's due in two months!!)...it was a beautiful day and I needed to get out because I was vomiting from 6am to 12pm...not fun. I was weak, but with the fresh air I felt wonderful. I had no other flu-like symptoms so maybe it was just hard core morning sickness?? I usually feel pretty bad at that time...but eat a TON...yesterday...not so much.

Then today my kiddos had a field trip to a farm/petting zoo! I am all farmed out!! It sure beats sitting in a classroom though! That's for sure!!

I'm so jealous because my friend Denecia got to go to our specialist Dr. today...I have to wait until the 15th!! But she got to see her little kiddos in 4D and so I'm SUPER excited to go to my appointment!!

The nurse and the Dr. even made guesses at different times about the genders of her twins....and they both said the same thing!!! I'll definitely have them doing a little guess when I go! Plus my mom will be in from the other side of the country, so she'll be really happy if she gets to be there for that news!! My friend said they'll be able to tell her for sure at her next appt. in the beginning of November...and she'll only be 16 weeks! WOW!! I'm curious to see if their "guesses" where right on!

Other than my little vomiting spree yesterday I'm doing allright...I think I have a little more energy than before...but I'm still going to bed at like 8:30 and waking up at 6. I haven't been waking up in the middle of the night to pee as often...or to eat...which is nice because I get more solid sleep.

Oh and my dreams have all been very happy pregnant dreams now!!! I have a little belly and I'm showing it off to all my family in my dreams....its a lot of fun!! :o) I like these dreams!

Guess I just needed to tell people! That did the trick!

Happy Fall Everybody!!!
