{Frustrated!}

I am editing the images from our trip and seeing myself "full body" is so frustrating! I know I gained 30 lbs while preggers with Ruth and I know because of the type of birth control I was on I gained another 30 lbs,(of course didn't know this could happen - now I do). That's 60 pounds over the course of almost 4 years and I know that I can loose it but DARN IT! I am frustrated at just how humungo I look.

I am feeling "fluffy" as the comedian Gabrielle Iglesias would say (added video at end so you can know what the 5 steps of "phat" are). I know I am not at the "Damn!" stage but I have hit a huge wall and it says "YOU ARE FAT and not because your pregnant!" Do you ever have those days or is that a "light bulb moment" as Oprah would say?

I hope I can get back down to what I was when I got married after this baby(ies). At least I won't be going on birth control after this pregnancy - no way! I am getting my tubes tied.

{Week Six}

This is going to be a busy week for your amazing little embryo. Their brain is still growing remarkably fast; miniature hand plates are starting to develop and the early formations of what will be their fingers are already visible. Also, the lower limbs do not develop quite as fast, so they’re pretty much still flippers. Up until this point, your baby has been very curled up with the head and tail in close proximity, but this week their trunk and neck are beginning to grow and straighten as their tail recedes into its resting position in the back. Even though your little miracle is only 6 weeks old, they’re already capable of demonstrating reflex responses to touch!

So as you can see I am at the 6 week mark of the pregnancy. I have experienced some nausea but not alot. I am experiencing breast tenderness (ugh, it's the worst!), but overall it's going well. I just got back from my doctors visit and they took swabs and lots of blood. They won't do an ultra sound until the 18th week and then again at week 32.

I knew when I had conceived because that was the first night I had the twin dream...(I just got back from the hospital and had two baby girls in my arms) and I have been having this dream non-stop since. I wanted to get a vaginal ultrasound to see if I was carrying twins or if I was just having a crazy dream, but I guess I will just have to wait until the 18th week. ((sigh))

***Did I mention that when I got the blood test done to confirm the over the counter DOLLAR store pregnancy test that the nurse thought I could be carrying twins because of how early I tested and the levels of hormone? Did I also mention that when I tested I was only about 2 1/2 weeks along?***

We got back from our vacation early Saturday evening and have been just resting ever since. I will have pictures up soon...it's going to take a while as this week is super hectic with taking my dad in for surgery and kids doctor appointments. They will be set up soon I promise.

{New Color}

So while waiting at Walgreens to pick up YET another prescription for Aaron (he has another ear infection) I was browsing the hair color isle (as William had mentioned he wanted my hair more red and darker...) I saw some on clearence and snatched up the last two bottles of auburn hair dye for $2 each. It's the kind that isn't permanent but washes away slowly after about 12 weeks. It's more red then I would have liked but Hubby loves it and it compliments my $6.99 super cut haircut! What do you think?

While I was doing my "self portraits" with my tripod and camera, Ruth came in to watch and soon I had the camera turned on her and because I didn't want to exclude the boys I sought them out and found them on Aaron's bed (top bunk) playing a game on their DS's.

{Jumpin' Spider}

I just took this of a huge jumpin spider that found some warmth on my modem...he was about the size of a quarter...see the catchlights?

I got a new hair cut today and have been having fun with my family...It's been a good day...too bad the boys were fighting against one another psp style...William found a way to hook the two together so they can play games together. They have been involved in games all day...only surfacing to eat and go potty...It's raining outside and they are trying to do the best they can since they can't play outside...like it's a hardship...lol
