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!)

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
