Real talk: pregnancy

You may want to go ahead and close out this post if you don’t like negativity.  Ha, kidding....well not really.  But, seriously….woah.  A slight change in tone from yesterday:-) 

 

EVERYTHING hurts.  Things have gone downhill fast the past 10 days.  I feel good for the first few hours in the morning and then the back pain sets in….along with the hip and leg pain.  And the ITCHING…this just started.  WHAT the WHAT!?!  Don’t know what is causing it but my whole upper body itches desperately bad…a lot.  Weird, right?  I probably still try and do too much considering I am 34 weeks pregnant with TWINS.  A lot of people are on bed rest at this point…so I’m thankful for that, but I do know I have to start resting more.  I came home yesterday and laid on the couch on my side for about 45 minutes and it helped so much. 

 

My wardrobe.  Ha.  I think I wear the same 5 dresses over and over and over.  Sorry, friends.  Nothing else is comfortable and I sure as heck don’t care to spend any more money on maternity clothes at this point.  There are definitely some things that I can’t wear anymore b/c the belly is so big.  YIKES. 

 

Speaking of the belly…..  I really don’t know how it can get bigger, but yet I know it will and it TERRIFIES me.  I seriously look like I swallowed a huge watermelon.  HUGE, I tell ya.  Ain’t no way I’m coming out of this one without stretch marks.  I mean, holy.

 

I’m not so much ready to have the babies yet….I definitely want them in there at least another 3 weeks…. So I pray that nothing changes that, but LORDY MERCY ME….I am SO BEYOND READY to NOT HURT.  But, you know what?  I’m not even going to get that luxury right away b/c these little turds are breech and I have to have a c section….which means more pain.  UGH.  Will it EVER end? (I know it will and I know these little boys will be WORTH EVERY moments pain….but this post is for me to vent :-) ) I have to admit I’m pretty scared about the c section. I know people get them and doctors perform them every day….it just scares me.  I don’t know if I like the feeling of knowing I’m awake and they are cutting me open….it gives me the heeeebeeeejeeeeebeeeees. 

 

WADDLE WADDLE.  I seriously waddle everywhere.  It sucks.  But I have so much pressure I can’t NOT waddle.  Fun times, right? 

 

So ….let’s recap: back pain, leg pain, hip pain, itching, pressure, no clothes to wear, c section apprehension….  Okay, I’ll quit bitching now.  

 

I just have to record my honest thoughts too….you know, so no one thinks it’s all rainbows and butterflies all the time.  I’m definitely NOT one of those pregnant people. 

Xoxo

    I just cannot even imagine being pregnant with twins. I was miserable with my singletons.

    About the c/s though, it's not awful. I had them with both my girls, and the second one (planned, didn't go into labor) was easy-peasy. Just TAKE YOUR PAIN MEDS! With my first, I was all about trying to be "Oh, I feel fiiiiine!"... Then an hour later be kicking myself. When I had my 2nd, I took the pain meds every 4 hours for the first 2-3 days, and really didn't feel any pain at all. (And recovery from a planned c/s is SO MUCH EASIER than one where you have to labor/push first!)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
