I'd Rather Be Blogging!!

There are really a million other things I should be doing right now, but I am exhausted and simply don't feel like it!  My day has been great, but Jenica is just on one and it's making me crazy!  We'll have really good days, but today just isn't one of them.  She is whiney and thinks she has to play with someone constantly!  It's making me crazy!!

Anyways, this morning I had a Dr appt!  I was excited to see what Dr L had to say about the discovery of the twins!  And I was excited to actually get to talk to the dr because all the info I have is what the ultrasound tech told us or what I have read online!  So anyways, I am always anxious about my blood pressure and peeing on the strip that shows if there is protein in my urine (because I had toxemia with Kiki).  My blood pressure was 100/70...the lowest I have ever seen it, and my urine was great.  The nurse said I was down 2 lbs from last time...but the dr wasn't too concerned because I am eating and keeping things down...I just need to work a little harder on eating more, even though it's hard with the limited amount of space in my belly!  And finally...I am 22 weeks and I measured 28 today.  He was also able to pick up both heart beats because they were different.  I think he said one was in the 120's and one was in the 150's.  It was weird to heard such a difference, but he said they are both within range. 

He said the ultrasound looked great.  The boys were exactly the same size, and all their parts and such were developed properly.  He said there were 2 sacs, 1 placenta, which means Identical, which means more chance of complications, so they will monitor me closer than with a single baby.  He said one of the biggest risks is premature labor/birth...my goal is to make it to 36 weeks.  We'll see how the summer goes as far as bed rest depending on if I start showing signs of any complications that are more typical with twins.  Here's a picture of me today, I felt like I needed a more accurate one because the one of me and Aimee below looks small...because I was squatted down and hunched over a little!  Look how big I really am.  I am so scared of how big I am going to get!  Yikes!

Just a few pictures to share from the last couple days!  On Saturday we attended my Nephew, Miller's 3rd birthday party.  We went up to my brothers place and the kiddos swam and ran around and had a great time!  Here is Miller, he wouldn't smile for me...

This kid is soooo funny!  Just to give you an idea, he was handed a box from baby gap (where him mom works).  Apparently he knew what was in it.  He immediately pushed it away and said "That not mine".  Then they opened the box and showed him the cool clothes in it.  Once he got a glance, he pushed it away and said "That not for me"  It was so funny!  Then he opened a present from his grandparents and as soon as he saw a pile of clothes he did the same thing.  Pushed it away and said "no, that not mine"  Apparently 3 year old little boys don't care about getting clothes for their birthday!  lol  And below is Kaitlyn, Jeni, and my neice Paige enjoying some popsicles.

After the party we stopped by the hospital to see Aimee's new little boy!  He is adorable!  They named him Matthew.  She had him on Friday the 13th.  That's good luck if you ask me...since that's my lucky number/day. (my birthday is april 13th, anniversary is october 13th and we even got married on a Friday)!I didn't get any pictures on Fathers day, I didn't really even think about it. 

Yesterday was a fun, yet long and exhausting day.  Me and my mother in law took the girls to the pool up in Bountiful, because it is the best pool ever!  And we've been promising the kids since the last couple weeks before school was out!  They refer to it as the pirate ship pool!  It was so much fun!  We stopped and picked up lunch and took it to Josh on the way up, and then when we got to Bountiful we went to Panda Express and got some lunch, then we headed over to the pool.  I think we got there about 2pm.  Here are the girls jumping in the pool!  
The deepest part is only 3 ft deep and then it goes to 2 ft and then 1 ft and then walks out on the other side.  The "big" pools are all indoors, so you don't really have to worry about deep deep water.  At first we were right there with the girls, but we couldn't keep up with them swimming all over the place.  We took them inside for a little bit and when we came back out, Laurie and I ended up sitting on the edge of the pool and watching the girls.  Then we got up and ended up in some lounging chairs watching them jump in and get out, jump in and get out, running/swimming all over the place.  I am so not like that just to sit back and watch the kids in the pool, but this one was so great, we were so close incase they needed us, and there were lifeguards everywhere!!

Here's Jenica cheesing it up for me!
Here are all the girls!
Here's the fun pirate ship that has a couple slides off of it!
Here is Kaitlyn showing me how much fun she was having!
I love this picture!  Talk about sisterly love!!
I guess that's it!!  Sorry for the novel!  I still have pictures to post of the girls re-painted room and the new playroom downstairs!  I promise I will get to it someday!  :/  Now I need a nap before I have to frost cupcakes and get to enrichment!!
