Another day in paradise

Good morning my faithful followers! Sorry for the delay in posts, everything is fine with the girls! My good and bad days have shifted to good and bad hours of the day, so I thought I would spare you all from a venting session over the weekend. I had wonderful family visitors this weekend- my parents were here on Saturday and my aunt and cousins came on Sunday while my uncle helped Dallas again at home! We are so blessed to have such great families who help us so much.






Had a bit of a breakdown last night. I received my dinner and it was pretty gross and that apparently was the straw that broke the camel's back because the tears just started flowing. We have A LOT going on right now between the move and me and the babies and my hormones lol.  It is so frustrating (I know I keep using this word, but I don't know how else to explain it) that I can't be at our new home seeing everything come together. All I want to do is decorate for fall, light my Apple Pumpkin Yankee candles, and pretend like we have seasons here ;)  You hear about pregnant women that get the urge to start "nesting" - well I think that's part of it all too. What better time to nest than to be pregnant with a new home?! I want to decorate and clean and set up our babies' nursery-- just normal things- but I can't. Every little thing is bothering me in my hospital room.  I want to clean it- the dust on the window blinds is driving me insane. I might ask the cleaning ladies to do that today, I just don't want to seem rude :/
So after a rough night, this morning I wasn't so cute-my eyes were swollen and I didn't feel like getting out of bed early like I normally do. Usually I am presentable and reading my kindle by the time my doctor comes in around 8-830.  Not today. I was still in bed with something over my eyes to block the light.  So my doctor walks in with a little extra pep in his step today and very sarcastically says, "well good morning sunshine!" Ha  
Sometimes this dry, very brilliant man is really funny. 

I'm not sure when my next ultrasound is but it should be soon. I can't wait to see how big the girls are.  It feels like 2 hulk hogans inside me. The pressure and their movements are so intense and they don't make it easy for me to breathe- that's for sure.

  1. I have no clue how hard this must be, but you will get through this, your reward will be worth it.
    We just got off the phone, it was nice to hear your voice and I can't wait until Nov to see you and meet those girls!
    Keep up the good work!
    Love you,
    Aunt Barrie

  2. Oh Britt... my heart goes out to you. I wish I could say or do something to make everything all better. The cliches would be insensitive so I'll spare you them! If you weren't frustrated I would think you're not being honest. Most pregnant women get frustrated and many many more emotions!!! I appreciate your honesty and transparency, to be able to share so openly is a gift.
    Your blog is a way for us who can't be with you in person to support you with encouragement and prayers, not to mention laugh and cry with you.
    You look great and your Dad does too!
    Love and Prayers,
    Lisa A.

  4. I wrote three messages and none of them posted. I forgot to post as anonymous .
    Long story short is hospitals are dirty, very disappointing, hospital food sucks...it just does, you look awesome and I know it feels like a long time until your out but it's not. It's better your there with them in your tummy then them saying Hello early and then visiting them everyday.
    Hang in there momo your going to be a great Mommy.
    Love you,
    Can't wait to be Aunt Lisa :)
