First order of business: HOLY COW THANK YOU to whomever is voting for my blog. I mean, I know my friends do- but clearly I have some closeted readers (who should come out of hidinggggg) I am STOKED to be so close to the top of the list on Top Baby Blogs & although I’m not the sort of chick that needs a pat on the back or to be #1 at anything- I do secretly hope being so near the top of the list will soon afford me the connections to start offering giveaways & such on my blog. I mean, let’s be serious- Jill at Baby Rabies doesn’t have to be on a top list & she’s giving away DYSON VACUUMS and MODERN BIRD fine art. I just hope that with some help- that could be me reviewing those items & you- WINNING THEM!
So, keep voting- and if you visit regularly- VOTE DAILY!
In much much more important news, we are making strides in our playroom/nursery & tonight I folded all the baby clothes and made a pile of stuff that is new and needs washing. I probably have about 10 hours of work still but that’s ok. We are getting there with not a moment to spare.
Yesterday, my husband’s aunt took me out for a MUCH NEEDED mani/pedi & it was wonderful! Except- as they were working on mah toesies I saw the truth! I have SAUSAGE FEET/ANKLES. Holy moly, kids. My legs are huge. I am hoping that is just from all the crap I eat, but who knows. I’ve been plagued with a shitstorm of issues this time around so I am almost ready for the doctor to pronounce it preclampsia at my appointment tomorrow, even though my blood pressure has been stellar the entire time. I’m always prepared for the worst, I suppose.
After the mani/pedi we went up to Baby Gap/Gap Maternity & got a few little items on sale as well as matching blue & pink preemie jammies for Tru & Sawyer to wear home from the hospital if they get to come home right away. They are ADORABLE. I am kind of in love with the little jammies.
Speaking of which- tonight while folding all Hudson’s old clothes I came across his first outfits, which even though he was born at 6 pounds 10 oz were still preemie sized. They look like doll clothes and Scott & I are unsure how we will handle babes even smaller then Hudson was. It’s pretty daunting to think about.
So, tomorrow I have two more doctor appointments & my step-mom is watching the babe so I will have a few hours to continue working on the loft. This pleases me. Hope you are all having a wonderful week & I will check in tomorrow- maybe with more pictures of the nursery.

I think I may have already commented and introduced myself- but who knows! I love your story and your words. I have a 6 month old currrently, and am actually soon to take a prenancy test if you know what doesn’t arrive in the next couple of days. The thought of another pregnancy makes me so scared and changes all our plans, but reading your blog makes me feel like there’s hope that it’s doable. I will probably come across your answer reading former posts, but did you plan the twins?

Hi Megan! I don’t think we’ve blog met before! I just browsed your blog for a bit & your little one is adorable! Finding out you are pregnant so soon after adjusting to being a new mama is super scary- but, it seems to be working out quite nicely. I feel like I will handle it well, minus the few total mental breakdowns I’ve had over the last few months! We did NOT plan the twins- in fact twins do not even run in our families. my son was about 4-5 months old and I had never gotten my period back because he was exclusively breast fed.I suffered from terrible hyperemesis with my first pregnancy & when I started to feel sick again I knew what was wrong. We went to the doctor and she said “It’s probably so bad already because you’re having TWINS” I cried for like 5 days.
Hi Ashley! Thanks for stopping by! I love having new readers. Nice to blog-meet you! Please keep reading. I am on my way to check out your blog right now!
Kristi: THANK EFFING GOD! No preclampsia. I’m golden. Not that 6 days early would make a difference.
B: Dude. SERIOUS sausages up in my socks. It’s insane. I cannot WAIT to have my body to myself again!
