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!)

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
