The reason I hate leaving my house lately...

(Other than it wears me out, haha;)

Store clerk: "When are you due?"

Me: "July" (didn't bother to say mid July because I didn't want anymore comments...)

Store clerk: "Oh..."
(continues to check me out)
"So are there two in there?"

Me: ( A little annoyed, I mean come on, are you calling me fat? ((ps, I know I am huge, I just don't like random strangers reminding me of that))) "Yes"

Store clerk: "Oh good! I had a girl in here earlier smaller than you"

Me: (So?? Maybe she was due later, maybe it was her first, maybe I like to pig out) "That's nice."

Store clerk: "Good thing you are due in July and not later, it will be so hot"

Me: (No kidding lady, and WTH? there are TWO of them in there!! I am already hot and miserable ALL.THE.TIME. Besides, June and July are still flippin hot) "Yeah, good thing."


End rant. Thanks for listening;)

Oh, but then I went to the quilt shop and they were much nicer about it. They asked when I was due and what I was having so I told them the details. Then they tell me how much they would love to have twins, always sounded like such fun... I will let ya know in a few months...

Three!

Happy birthday to my little man! It is crazy to think three years ago I was holding him in my arms for the first time. He is (usually;) such a joy to have in our family.



I asked him what he wanted for his birthday, and he said flowers and balloons... Well, we got him a couple of trains and a t-ball set, and sweet Abby wrote him a story and drew him a card. It is funny to watch him hit the ball, he refuses to hold the bat with two hands, doesn't believe Ben when he says it will work better the right way. Doesn't surprise me, he is probably the most stubborn kid I know!!


*Now, let's plan to have the babies in three weeks, that way all the kids' birthdays will be three weeks apart and save me stress down the road, haha. (Well, so long as they are healthy and ready ((no nicu!!)) so it will most likely be more than that;)

Did it really surprise anyone?

I went to the MFM today. It has been confirmed, if these little munchkins stay in me as long as they should, they will be giants. They are looking great and measuring in the 75th and 50th percentile... so nowhere near as big as Abby, who was in the 85-90th percentile (depending on height/weight), or Jack, who was in the... wait for it... 95th percentile!!

Side note, I just took Jack in and he is now in the 75th percentile. He must have lost his baby fat:)

So anyways, Baby A is at 3 pounds 11 ounces, and Baby B is at 4 pounds 9 ounces. The tech scared me for a minute when she had B at 4 pounds 15 ounces, but the doctor measured again and got less... so he said it was probably user error the first time. It is a big jump for B because last appointment she measured 5 ounces less than A. Of course, these are just guesstimates, but still! He said to expect at least 7 pound babes. (BTW, that is pretty big for twins;)

I am so excited because I ordered a necklace from thevintagepearl.com. You need to go check out this site, amazing! AAAH! I can't wait for it to get here. I have been eyeing them for a while, but they are more than I really wanted to spend, but I finally found a coupon code for it so it's mine now! (So if anyone is interested, I have the code for it... not sure how long it is good for:) I will have to post a picture of it when it gets here. I am not a big jewelry person, but I thought it was so cute. It has all the kids name around it in a circle. Which brought up a dilemma... Since I am ordering it before the girls are here... how do I know which one will be named what? Baby A is for sure coming out first... but which name will she get? I made the final decision based on how the four names sounded best in a row, so I guess that is what she will be! So there:)
