Two Peas in One Pod

This morning was an amazing feeling- The elbows, or knees, or feet or Hands get stronger everyday of kicking me. My little cheerleaders in there are so strong. But usually I will feel like one kick in one spot then a little while later feel another. This morning I got 4 hits back to back all in different spots of my stomach! Don’t know what is going on in there Who knows what or who was moving around!  But got to love that feeling!!




Everyone loves to Rub my belly, I think its just natural when people see something not ordinary sticking out of your body feel the need to rub on it- ha! I don’t mind though—if I did I can’t imagine what people would think of me, since so many people like to touch it! Especially my cheerleaders, they are constantly at practice wanting to touch my stomach and asking if they are kicking or can they feel them move! Its cute!



12 Things I have learned so far about being pregnant at this point…



1. In the first Trimester—MORNING sickness is the worst- don’t let anyone tell you any different. But don’t be stubborn and not take the medicine the doctor prescribes you because it will do wonders for feeling nauseous! I think I spent weeks 10-14 holed up in the bathroom battling morning sickness! I don’t like taking medicine and decided against it then finally after a couple weeks of getting sick all the time I gave in and took it and it I SWARE is a miracle drug

2. Being pregnant is a wonderful feeling, especially once you get over the awkward stage of people looking at you wondering---is she gaining weight or is she Prego. Then once you “POP” it’s a whole new world! 

3. Friend’s advice that have already been pregnant is better than any book- but first hands experience is the best because you actually can feel what you are going through.

4. Apologize to your husband, fiancé, boyfriend now, because he is about to go down a road with you where moodiness comes as often as I pee, which is a lot! (you don't have to apolagize but just give a warning!)

5. The first time you feel your baby move or in my case babies move its amazing although the first time I started feeling fluttery things—I couldn’t decide if it was gas, heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, or if it was really them moving!:) But it was because then I started feeling flutters all the time!

6. You're guaranteed to be the life of the party. The entire world loves a pregnant woman, so, for the next nine months at least, you're likely to be the center of attention wherever you go. Or at least want to Rub your belly! Haha 

7. The first “real kick” is awesome, just to know my babies are right there with me! The first time Lonnie felt them kick---loved it! He now can experience pregnancy with me—because so far all he had experienced was me complaining bout feeling sick—or my back hurting—etc. now its real

8. You've got the perfect excuse to pamper yourself. Back Rubs, or a nice warm bath , AMAZING, take em’ when you can or don’t refuse one when offered!

9. Its ok that your stomach will start to look like a bowling ball under your shirt or a basketball---I can now no longer see my feet! It happens—to all of us—

10. NAMES-NAMES – NAMES—name your children what you wish! Don’t listen to anyone  Lillianah Rae and Zoey Grace—

Lilli—I have always liked the name lilli

Anah—has always been something different that I liked

So we put them together and came up with lillianah.

Zoey was just something different that Lonnie and I both loved.

Rae is my dad, brothers, and grandfathers name, and of course my Jessica Rae too, one of my best friends:

Grace was just a middle name we both fell in love with and it also is my great – grandmother’s first name and one of my little cheerleaders Miss Gracie Cole!



11. Maternity jeans are cute and stylish and are VERY COMFY. Plus being pregnant you now have an excuse to buy new clothes

12. You can up your food intake without worrying about getting stuck with some permanent souvenirs on your hips and thighs.



We love our girls already and they have not even graced us with their presence yet! Which will be on or around April 28th, the longer they are in my belly the healthier they will be! Praying for a long, wonderful exciting journey on the second half of our pregnancy!
