Hello again my peeps!!
We are 21 weeks this week with our little twinsie poos. And I am having soooo much kicking!!! The hubby felt them kick as well last night. I seemed to only be feeling a baby on the right side of my tummy but last night I began to feel a baby on the left side. I was super uncomfortable last night. I finally put a pillow under my belly, it helps some. It helps to have pillows all around. But who doesn’t like that anyway?
Okie! We go in tomorrow for our gender ultra-sound. We are super excited. Not so excited about it being at 2pm and in downtown Houston, but oh well.
BTW I am going to be uploading some jewelry that I make, I hope by the end of the week. Here is my Etsy name so you can search for me its KatsJewelry2. Please take a look to see if you like anything.
Love to you all!!

Who am I?
Who am I? This is a question that I have been asking myself since I graduated high school. Maybe even before then. In high school I was all about art and becoming an art teacher. I was naïve and ignorant in life but when I went to college it was so freeing. I felt like an adult and I was ready for anything.
Being 18 and a freshman in college felt like there were endless possibilities spread out before me. I trudged along and went to this college for two years. I struggled with math and I then began to feel jaded. I took a summer off and then decided to do a veterinary technician program. I loved it, it was amazing. I love animals and I loved learning about them. I went to work for a vet who truly crushed my dreams of this world. He was always cutting me down and reprimanding me in front of clients. He made fun of me for my dedication. He even told me I shouldn’t have taken time off for my wedding and honeymoon. I gave it a year and I quit. I attempted to work for a cat hospital and I hated it, one week later and I was jobless.
I was only 22 and I felt so lost. I hated that a job was defining who I was; I was still too young to realize that this was ok and I would eventually find where I needed to be. My husband was working in a jail and he really liked the law enforcement world. I was just lost. I was out of a job for three months. My sister got me an interview for an elementary school. I got the job, I started working in P.E. as an aide to the teachers and I have to be honest I again wasn’t in love. Five years later I was still not convinced of what I wanted to do.
I went back to school; it is all online which really works better for me. It’s also one class a month so it’s quicker. I graduate in December. So at least I will have accomplished my degree. So three years ago we decided to try for our baby. As we know this didn’t work out. But we are finally pregnant with twins and I am 20 weeks. It is a true blessing.
My husband and I were driving back from the beach on Thursday where I stupidly got myself so sunburnt that I can’t sleep now. We live in a small town not far from the country. I love the country and so does my hubby. We talked about our life 5 to 10 years from now. We live in a small two bedroom home now. And we both know that with two kids we won’t be able to have them share a room forever. Also we only have one bathroom. Anyway, we want to move before our kids go to kinder. We don’t like the schools around our area. So we dreamed of what it would be like to own a small farm. I can’t believe that I want that life! But what I find is that I fit there, I finally know where I fit. I am going to be a mom and one day living on a farm. We talked about having a red barn, property, animals, making goat’s cheese, milking our cows. I know maybe this sounds crazy to some but I honestly crave this life and we both hope that in ten years maybe we can have it.
I am going to be 28 at the end of the month and I am so looking forward to becoming a mom. Don’t get me wrong it is all new and a little scary but I think God finally led me to where I need to be. It is just odd how sometimes it takes many years to find out who you want to be. I am just trying to accept my new life and I want to be happy with it.

It's been a while....
Hey guys,
Sorry it's been a while but I have been lazy so I have been hiding. We are creeping up on the 20 week mark so we are half way there. I have been feeling flutters here and there. Lots of tightness in my lower tummy and loads of muscles being pulled. My boobs are super tender and I am such a cry baby as well.
Money is tight so that bums me out. We have decided I am going to stay home when the babies are born. My husband is trying to move up in his job so we are praying about that. But until then my mom is going to help us which I hate but I'm thankful for it. It won't last forever so there is always that.
At our last appointment many good things happened. My original doctor is no longer there so I have a new doctor which I love, my c-section is paid off, and we might be having a boy and a girl. The doctor did an ultra-sound, it was so hard to tell but she said it looks to be a boy and a girl. We go in for our actual gender ultra-sound on the 14th. So thats that I hope all is well in your world.
TTYL!

Hello again... 16 weeks!
Hey guys,
Not much to report. I went in for bloodwork this morning to finish the first tri-screenings. My weight hasn't gone up, which is good for me. I am not nearly as sick as I was last weekend. I was so bad that I was just vomiting acid. GROSS!!! And dry heaving. Needless to say I was a hot mess, and not proud it.
A fun thing is that I am showing! Woo hoo! I got a pair of maternity capris, it just feels strange having fabric on my belly. I am very aware of it so I sometimes pull it down to give my tummy breathing room.
No movement that I can tell. I have loads of tummy issues as is so I dont know if I would know anyway. I hope to feel them move eventually.
My mom bought the cribs for us, they are beautiful. We just got the second one in today. My hubby put it together but the room is so messy that one is against the wall where it should be and the other is in the middle of the room like an elephant. But I plan on fixing this issue this week.
I am off for the summer and I am doing my damndest to not go back to work in order to take care of our babies. So now I begin to try to find things to make me money as of now. Any ideas?! here are some pics below. TTYL!
This is the one in the store.

14 weeks and images!
We have made it to the second trimester!!! We are 14 weeks this week. 15 weeks in a few days. How crazy is that? I still can’t believe we are pregnant and I am typing this.
We had a doctor’s appointment yesterday. The babies’ heartbeats are 143 and 154. My uterus is just below my belly bottom, and she said that was good for having twins. My weight is good and my blood pressure is normal. My thyroid is measuring a little low so she is going to re-test it in two weeks along with my last blood test for my first trimester screenings for neural tube or tubal defects? Not sure how to type it.
I took a pill the doctor prescribed for me for the nausea, this one doesn’t make me sleepy and it is helping some with the nausea so that is good.
Me and my mom and two best friends are going to go look at cribs tomorrow. I am excited!!! I am now wanting to buy stuff, and seeing that there are two babies I better start stocking up now.
TTYL! Love to all!
These were two weeks ago.

13 weeks and one day!
Hello world!!!
We are 13 weeks and one day. So that is a great thing. Starting last week my nausea began subsiding. THANK GOD!!! I feel human again, I really feel like I have crawled out from under a large heavy rock. I can now see the world!
I am able to eat food again. But certain things I am not crazy about. Ham is one of them. I have no clue why but it freaks me out. I usually love spicy food but it doesn’t love me. I am not happy about that. And I realized today that popcorn makes me burp a lot! I am just learning all kinds of new and fun things about being pregnant.
That is still strange for me to type….I am pregnant. Crazy! I went on the 10th for my first trimester screenings. The ultra-sound was really neat. I hadn’t seen the babies since April and they were not looking like babies yet. They do now! They are really cute; they bounce around like they are little astronauts. The lady doing the ultra-sound took 45 mins, the little babies just didn’t want to be still. Their measurements are normal for no downs syndrome so that is a blessing.
I also did a nasty finger prick on my right ring finger, the nurse then squeezed my finger until I thought it would pop and drops of blood would fall onto a paper with little circles on it. So I think this was for the spina-bifida? Not sure if that is even the correct spelling. If anything is wrong the doctor said she would call us, no call as of yet. So all is well I hope.
The hubby and I go back in Next Thursday. Not sure what we do for this next appt. but at least we might get to see the babies again. I will attempt to attach our recent pics. Hope all is well for everyone and so sorry it took so long.

Not much to say.
Well not much on me other then I am still feeling sick. I went into the doctor’s office last week. One baby was wiggling its legs all over the place. The other one was sitting quietly. They both are happy and healthy it seems.
I am tired and low on energy. I am 11 weeks now. But I do have a complaint. Everyone wants me to my normal self. Well when I try to go out shopping or out to eat I end up sick. So I’d rather stay home and feel better. And then some friends are complaining I don’t call them well I don’t feel like talking. I do txt them. Oh well am I alone in this?
