I was never skinny. NEVER. EVER. Like, not even really fit. I’ve gone ahead and shared that MULTIPLE times. But, in finding some pics for an end of year post- I found this:

It would be to lose some effing WEIGHT but since I cannot start that quest for some time, seeing as we are most likely talking at least MAY before I get an exercise OK from the doctor (c-sections!). So, my first resolution for 2010 is that by the END of the year I will clean out my closet from all the clothes I used to-but no longer and haven’t in a while been able to fit into properly.

I love this picture.

It’s my Dad, My Brother & I and Hudson all sitting on the couch on Christmas.

Three Generations!

Such fun!

Please no one judge the fact that I indeed have 12 chins. I am getting SOOOO freaking giant and it is freaking me the eff out. I swear to god- I am going to never ever eat again after giving birth. I NEED to get back in shape. Two years of pregnancy DOES NOT do a body good. But, tending to three is hopefully gonna put a damper on my food intake. And my exercise? Any mom of a crawler or any stage after crawling knows- You get PLENTY of exercise chasing a kid around all day. Three going three DIFFERENT directions should really help my figure-but definitely NOT my sanity.

Rodarte is pretty much sold out at my Target. They had one dress and hella swimsuits.

According to my sis-in-law stuff is already on eBay. Boo.

There were a few dresses I was really interested in, but I suppose it’s cool, since I am huge and couldn’t wear anything for at least a few months anyhow.

Today at my prenatal appointment.

I got on the scale. I saw the number. MOST. I. HAVE. EVER. WEIGHED. EVER! by exactly one half of a pound.

In previous posts I have fully admitted to being a fat chick. But, before getting pregnant with Hudson I lost close to 50 pounds courtesy of Weight Watchers. GO ME!

So, even at delivery of my son, I was still like 10 pounds under my worst weight EVER. Add to that the fact that I was only 4 months postpartum when learning of this pregnancy, so I was still well above my starting weight.

Anyhow, it’s happened and I have to deal with it. The doctor told me I should probably gain about another 10 pounds. This is the most horrifying thing I’ve ever heard, but clearly, it is for a good cause. I didn’t have to gain much with Hudson because I was fat to begin with- but apparently with twins those rules do not apply & according to my doctor no matter how giant I am I am still supposed to gain between 40-50 pounds for a twin pregnancy.

Apparently your body isn’t as efficient at allotting calories in a multiple birth.

She also gave me the wonderful news that since everything looks great on my ultrasound she is thinking I may be able to CARRY LONGER. The one shred of hope in my life was the fact that she was talking 36-37 weeks. Now she says they will schedule surgery in the 38-39 week if I haven’t gone into labor myself by then.

Also: YAY! Since I am at higher risk for preterm labor, apparently, I “should really find someone to help me” between 28-32 weeks. Sooooooo, there you go.

I am huge and getting more huge. I am gonna have to carry even longer than I thought. AND I have to be extra careful between 28-32 weeks because that’s the time when preterm labor usually starts if it is going to.

I did, however score an H1N1 vaccine- FINALLY. Painless.

And now I am helping my self stay super pig-esque by eating Nerds on the couch and watching SYTYCD.

For the love of GOD. This movie was really good. I suggest you go see it because everyone in it is AMAZING. Who knew that Mariah Carey and Monique (HEyyyyyyyy!) were able to act like that!?

I’m still unclear if this was a true story or not. But, either way it was horrifying. HORRIFYING. A Child Called It status. Monique was AH-mAZE-ING! Her character was so good and I was just floored at her abilities. I had to hide my face at times.

I cannot tell too much of the story for fear of ruining it- but it is worth seeing. Not only do you see a young lady with no hope find a way to make things better for herself and her children, but to be real- it makes you thankful that what this girl is going through is pain you will never have to live. I cannot IMAGINE. If this is a true story- The writer, Sapphire is the strongest woman to ever live. I’m serious.

Anyways, if you are in the Bay: we saw it at Aquarius on Emerson in Palo Alto and it is also playing a few places in SF. If you are out of the area- check with your local independent and GO!

I cannot stop thinking about it.
