boys

this is a complete shock (as most of this pretty much as been) to everyone… no one expected me to get two girls like i had hoped, but atleast one of each… as of today.. the ultrasound showed, clearly, two boys… i am soooo… upset. i cried.. and cried again. what will i do with two boys?? i won’t have any idea.. i am so scared.. poor meleia even thought it was one of each and i am sad for her because she won’t have anyone to play dolls with.. lol. obviously this has made me very emotional. i am so girly.. and so is meleia.. how will i deal with frogs and mud? little penis’s? just boy stuff… i know it all sounds petty.. which it is, i know a lot is hormones and still being scared in general.. i know that i will be happy as long as they are both healthy… just very apprehensive at the moment.. name wise, i have no idea really.. it’s really up in the air at this point.. as is everything!! here are two new pictures… at about nineteen weeks..

since they are bigger now and so tight in my stomach it’s hard to get good pictures of them, or even all of one of them it seems.. :)

pray for me!!!

oh how she makes me smile…

hormones, really…

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

i love you.
i honestly do.

it seems like i don’t know how to show it anymore.
hormones have had a crazy effect on me this time.

i feel sad. a lot.
i feel jealous.
scared.
upset.
angry.
paranoid.

i don’t know how this came about.
why this is what is happening.
i was never having any children.
let alone three.
i am in shock as well.
i know that’s part of what’s going on with me.

i know how happy you are.
how excited and optimistic you are.
how i wish i were like you.
i am so worried.
you don’t have any idea.

things are so messed up right now in my head.
everything is so real.
and so…
right in my face.
that i have to back off.
i have to scream.
i have to be mad.
because i can’t face this.
i am not ready to.
i’m too scared.

and i’m sure this explains nothing.
at most.
but maybe it will help some.

just by saying i love you.
and i’m not sure if you still love me, i guess.

the princess turned three!

news update…

being really sick and moody still, as well as a lot going on around here has left me very tired, going to bed shortly after meleia everynight… not leaving much time to blog. pregnancy sure has a way of turning you around, physically and emotionally.. and i guess two babies just makes it worse.

meleia’s THIRD birthday is coming up on the 20th. i can’t believe my girl is three already. we are having her party at pizza ranch and i have purchased the whole spongebob party theme set… cake, balloons, and all… via her request ;) since this is the last year of her being an only sibling, we went a little over board on gifts as well… but i figure she deserves the best. she is my princess!! i am very excited to give her this special day.

lately i’ve been thinking i want the twins to both be boys.. just to make sure meleia stays the little princess.. lol
speaking of twins… so far, so good still.. in a couple weeks we get to find out their sex for sure.. so we will see.. last time i seen the dr the heartbeats were both good and she said that i was measuring about five and a half months normal pregnancy.. and i was only a little over four then.. hehe. so i am getting big.. which is a change for me, but i guess it’s expected with twins! (i better go back to being skinny!) still seeing the dr every two weeks.. but haven’t had to be in the hospital again, thank god… i still get sick everyday almost… and it’s hard to find things that sound good to eat and drink.. and i have like no energy.. but i guess it’s okay… :) getting anxious.

zak, douglas’s youngest son, might come to live with us for a year… to help with the babies, as well as with the business… but that plan is still in the works, we will see what happens..

we are still looking for a house, but hoping the right one will come along soon- i’m ready to get the move over with!! but on a positive note we have finally accomplished the goal of getting a vehicle figured out.. and this week i should be the owner of something new… so that is very exciting to me..

and a few new pictures to share…
