Big DAY!!

Today we find out about the babies!! I am 18 weeks along...halfway there! And, we are going to have a physician do the ultrasound today. Since it's a twin pregnancy, that's what our doctor's office recommended. We're ALL for that! So, right now I'm at work. Wishing I was in bed resting up for this big day. The day that seemed so far away in July when we found out we were preggers!
Parker keeps asking me if the babies are coming out soon. I told him that when they came he would have to share his toys with them. You should've seen his face! HAHA. That kid sure hates sharing his toys. Both him and Seth rub my tummy all the time. It's pretty precious, for sure.
There are so many things up in the air for us right now that it seems like we'll never get a real schedule or "normal" life schedule before the twins get here. But, I'm going to keep trying!!

Hope the weather is as nice as it has been. Oh the fall weather just makes me sooo happy!
 Find a little piece of happy in your day today friends!

Love and all the excitement I can contain!!

boy name

Okay, so I listed a few boy names...but, Jay and I just talked after reading a comment in a blogpost of a friend of mine. We have pretty much decided on Isaac if we have a little boy. Isaac means "he will laugh" or "he laughs." Also, it was Sarah and Abraham's child in the bible that Sarah tried and tried and tried for and wanted wanted wanted with all of her heart. The "he will laugh" or "he laughs" just seems perfect for a child in our family. As soon as I said the name to Jay, he looked up, nodded and said, "oohhh I like that." And, you know, neither one of us have any friends or family members named Isaac. How perfect?! Funny how things fall into place as they should. Now...if only we already knew what the twins ARE in there!!!!!!

EEPPE EEEEEP!!

I'm still here folks!

Hi you guys!! It's been so long since I've written. Literally, I think that it's been months and months...we had just found out that we were pregnant with twins!! Well, now we will find out on Monday if they are boys or girls or BOTH! What does my gut tell me? My gut tells me that they are going to be PRECIOUS. Haha, okay, fair enough. I think there is going to be 1 boy and 1 girl. That's really what I feel. I can't imagine that there would be 2 more boys in there. What are the odds of that? ALL boys? So, I'm counting on those odds. Really though, I'm concerned about their little bodies in there. I find myself worrying like most mom's do. I just have 2 sweet and healthy baby boys already and I just hope hope hope they are healthy. That's really what I want. I've been working my tailpipe off. I do 16 hour shifts now Saturday and Sunday at the nursing home. I've been there since the end of August and it's really exhausting. I try to tell myself that it's only 2 nights a week but then I still pick up a 8 hour shift in the middle somewhere. I am presently (gasp again) looking for something else. Something that is more healthy for the babies. I can only imagine how my ankles are going to look in a few months. And, yes I thought about it but didn't realize I'd be on my feet practically the ENTIRE time. And, I didn't honestly think about the exhaustion of doing night shift alone. So, I'm looking at case management stuff. We'll see. I'm ready for a career. I'm tired of having job after job, you know? I mean, I'm thankful and blessed to have a job. Period. I'm blessed. But, I think I can do better and have a more fulfilling and enjoyable career.
I'm looking forward to being able to SHOP for a few things and find hopefully a pink thing or two. We haven't bought 1 thing. NOTHING. We are waiting to see what's in there cooking. Then, lookout, I might just go crazy!!!!


I'm looking forward to updating you guys and letting you know what the Delio is.
We have pretty much decided on the names Katie and Megan if they are 2 girls.
Some of the boy names we have in the running are....
Ryan, Jacob, Logan, Van, and Max


I'll keep you posted!!!!
Love yuns!

About Me

My photo
Welcome to my blog. It's a dedicated place for my book reviews, criticism, and love of all things bookish. I am a mom of 4 busy kids that uses reading as my, "thing." I find that reading books turns off all (okay, mostly all?) of the noise of my world and lets me get away for a bit. Reading helps me escape the reality of the piles of laundry that will never be done, the dust bunnies that I swear will one day grow legs, and the emails and outlook calendar that occupy my life Monday- Friday during working hours. Reading is therapy for me and always has been. I've always been a big dork, introverted, creative, and reflective. If I won the lottery tomorrow, I'd probably open up a used bookstore with my standard poodle somewhere on the side of the mountain and surround myself by others who enjoy passing their time reading. Until then, I'll keep on keeping on. And, I'll settle for reading when I can. Which, I try to fit in as much as possible. Cheers to your busy life and mine, doing the best we can, as often as we can.
