Updates for a Mom to BE (Yes Mandy, You!!)

Okay so everything is going splendidly, not really but the girls are growing and you know nothing else matters, I mean NOTHING...

At the last appointment last week we found out our girls grew 10 ounces a piece in TWO WEEKS!! which means yes, one is 1 pound 10 ounces and the other is 1 pound 11 ounces. This is amazing news on so many levels...it means no one is hogging the placenta and no one is gaining faster than her sister...

Here's the miracle, I feel 42 months pregnant, one of my girls seems to be resting on my sciatic nerve and her sister is doing the best job she can making sure I feel nauseous, BUT they are growing so I could really care less?? I guess this is why a woman goes through 40 weeks of pregnancy, you quickly learn that all new things matter. No longer will my birthdays matter, no longer will a bad hair day phase me in the slightest...okay some of you know bad hair days have never bothered me before or I would have fixed my hair more :).

The only thing that matters is taking care of these two little miracles God has chosen me to raise. How did I get so lucky, I honestly have no idea. My family is amazing, first and foremost my wonderful husband knows how special a cupcake or 3 makes a Tuesday night oh and don't let me forget the "Goose Fabra," or whatever they say on Anger Management to calm down the crazy pregnant woman when she is worried about her unemployment, weight or fact that she hasn't completed the nursery yet?  

The rest of my family has also been tremendous, mom brought me back from breakdown last week, my sister reminds me that my problems are nothing compared to having your BMW break down (just kidding Lindsay but you have this great way of reminding me that everything works out and I need to chill...) oh and then there are the family members in Florida who even though they have had the WORST MONTH ever, are always worried about me? Who does all that, right my family, I'm SO LUCKY!!!

I am a terrible blogger I've decided, I'm going to get better...yep I'm pretty sure I've said that a few thousand times before, I really mean it this time.

Oh and maybe I will get crazy with the cheese whiz and post a belly picture or two, it's seriously an ever growing planet of it's own lately. I love it when I am able to breath and sleep, okay I love it always, my girls are in there!!
