The girls birth wasn't a beautiful birth and I wasn't graceful about it, but it was a quick section with two babies determined to come into this world and make an outstanding appearance. While during my pregnancy and after I had the girls I was, “not wanting to put my life out there.” You are prolly thinking to you self right now, “lady you have a blog that everyone can see, how were you not already putting it out there.” Well I mean the serious details. Everything I went through pre and post pregnancy having these two bundles of joy. I painted a picture of just the “need to know things” and not so much the birth story, during pregnancy, and right after. As you all know I got pregnant, not married and been dating my babies daddy for 1.5 years. I was the girl that used to look at other girls who got pregnant out of wedlock as “kinda trashy,” yes I said it, and then I became one of them. But you know what, I WOULD NOT CHANGE IT FOR THE WORLD. I love these girls like I can not even begin to describe.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well here it goes: I was seeing a high risk doctor since 16 weeks due to genetics and me having TWINS. Any time you have more than one baby that is a risk. As your body only knows what to do to have one, Not two. Genetics? We have MD in the family. So we had to have some counseling on this. Thankfully and so blessed that the girls were clear of this, but it was a very SCARY thing. I worried about it day in and day out during my pregnancy. Knowing that no matter what I would love my girls, but it was a hard thing to swallow. Hard to think and talk about and hard to make our loved ones bring up the past and talk about it. Hard? Yes, we conquered it and now we all have two beautiful babies to love.<br />
<br />
Before having babies I always thought to myself aww, look at her she is pregnant, when is her baby due? What is she having? Not one negative thing crossed my mind. I thought c-sections were by choice, I pretty much thought babies walked out of you and you went back to your normal size and life went on with a beautiful bundle of joy. Sleep? Never thought about any of that, or things to worry about, complications with mom or baby, hormones, all the baggage. Granted some women do have this easy of a time. They barley gain weight, have no complications, pop out their baby with no drugs, loose all their baby weight on the delivery table, and their babies are STTN at 3 weeks old. Well…ladies not all of us and that’s not how smoothly it goes.<br />
<br />
Around 16 weeks when I went to see my high rish doctor (Dr. Fuller) who I love love love. He could not be more wonderful. I wish he could have been my OB. That would have been fan-freaking-tastic. I worried worried worried. What is there to worry about? Twin to Twin transfusion syndrome, MD, both sharing the food and gaining weight, zoey’s fluid, etc. I saw him every 4 weeks and got a growth scan and I was seeing my regular OB in between. Besides my psycho worrying everything was good til about 25 weeks when I got really swollen and my BP was up and down. They just associated it was twins, that is common. But then it got worse and worse so they tested me for pre-e, told me to slow down my activity. Around 31 weeks I was put on strict bed rest, aloud up to pee and shower, eh! Awful! Thankfully my sister was still on maternity leave with keagan so she came over everyday. That was GREAT. I was huge. (that is something that I regret, I wish I took pictures along the way.) WISH WISH WISH) so ladies even if you don’t want too, just do it and you can have them, and if you don’t want them after you give birth than you can throw them away. But atleast you can not regret not taking pictures if you want them. See I am going off on a small tangent. Back to the birth story.<br />
<br />
From 31 weeks on I went to the doctor every week, either my OB or my High risk doc. I got bigger and bigger and my BP levels got worse and worse. I had pre-e and PUPPS. What is PUPPS, may you ask. Its basically when your entire body feels like there is bug bites all over it, I think I blogged about this topic. It was horrid. I cussed some, or a lot when I had this. I used Grandpa’s tar soap, (supposed to ease the pain) yes it does smell as bad as it sounds.<br />
<br />
Here I just googled it: this is what ya get<br />
<br />
Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy (PUPPS) is a rash that affects approximately one out of every two hundred pregnancies. It is the most common of all pregnancy related skin rashes and is most commonly compared to hives. It comes on suddenly and can be extremely itchy. PUPPS starts in the stomach region but can spread to the extremities. Thankfully, PUPPS has never been found to have any lasting effects to the mother or her unborn child. The worst thing about this disease is that it is more of nuisance than anything else. It is ugly, itchy, and uncomfortable. <br />
<br />
How do you get rid of PUPPS? <br />
<br />
Sorry ladies but you have to wait until the baby is born and the rash will go away on it's own. You can learn tips and tricks for soothing the pain.<br />
<br />
So between swollen feet, (I could not even tell my feet were feet if it were not for my toes) and PUPPS, I was feeling pretty lousy. I got a blood pressure cuff and was monitoring my blood pressure once a day. I could no longer sit up in my own, shave my legs, sit down or stand up by myself. Get in the car by myself, much less drive, not allowed to leave my house unless I was going to the doctor. Bored. Yes. Hormonal. VERY! I did this for 4 weeks.

She was a trooper, she was amazing, very head strong and determined to be ok and not let it effect her as a mommy, wife or friend. She had the surgery, found out it was NOT cancerous, could not pick up her child for 6 weeks, had to send him to the sitter, had to be away from him while she was in the hospital bc she COULD NOT get sick. Very hard momments for her, but she over came them with pride and did excellent. When she got the ok to have a glass of wine (wahoo, and found out she did not have cancer) we celebrated! At our little near by mexican restaurant!<br />

Can be trashy but if you do it with Class it makes a difference. Agree? Circle yes or no. We are as classy as they come, but we get together for girls night (which does not happen very often being a mommy of two) it goes down. Here are some sneak peaks, with keeping it PG.<br />

As I have always done with my family for the past 26 years. Well I think 24 because I missed 2 years so far out of my whole life. Its fun. My family is CRAZY, entertaining, very close, from all different states, small, big, young, old, married, re-married, twins, sisters, brothers, cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, great grand people, mommys, daddys, dogs, boys, girls and women. This was the first time the babies got to experience the beach trip with the family to MB. We took the girls when they were 5 months to Frisco, NC with some friends but this trip was FAR different. <br />
How was it different? <br />

That is mommys time to get ready and shower, and since the monsters wake up then, they dont want me to shower, they dont want me to put them down, all they want me to do, is take them downstairs, give them milk and cheerios, change their soaking wet diaper and turn on cartoons. All mommy wants to do is actually shower b4 work so I dont go out of the house looking like I jsut greased my hair, which happens quite frequently. <br />
<br />
I guess I could slove the problem and wake up earlier to get ready, but No. I dont want to, or if I do I am like ahh 30 more minutes would be nice, screw it, so I go back to sleep and then think I can get ready, and cant because I am trying to climb in the shower with babies pulling at my legs, opening all the cabinets, emptying out my dressers, oh I could go on....<br />
<br />
Plus the fact that they are still tired and it makes their morning nap even earlier. <br />
<br />
Dear TBG, (twin baby girls)<br />
<br />
Please go back to sleeping til 7:00/7:30, mommy would be a much happier person. And you guys would not be as tired as early. We all win. Thanks<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mama<br />
<br />
On another note, when I bring them downstairs to do all that was listed above, I get cute pictures like this and it makes me forget all about waking up early and not getting my warm shower in peace.<br />

Eh, no fun! Fevers, cranky baby, and cuddling is what I did all weekend. Daddy was on the golf course all weekend for his fathers son golf tournament!! I am hoping that Zoey does NOT get it, and if she is going to get it then this is waht I have to say:<br />
<br />
Dear Tonsilitus and Ear infection,<br />
<br />
If you would like to infect your germs on my other child, I perfer you not, or if you are going to do it anways, can you please make it happen like now, so they both can be healthy when we leave for MB on saturday.<br />
<br />
Thank you,<br />
Love, Tired mommy with lots to do.Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-34783060624300736282011-06-19T09:25:00.000-04:002011-06-21T09:34:35.971-04:00Fathers Day!Happy Happy Father's Day to all the wonderful Fathers out there. We went over to my moms house and cooked my dad and grandpa a huge brunch! It was wonderful. Lonnie was spending the day with his dad for the Father, Son golf tournament they play in every year. We made a huge spread and everyone enjoyed it, Lillianah ate 6 strawberries and hasbrowns, she was not digging the omelette or anything else. Zoey ate a whole roll and cinnamon roll! O my little picky eaters, they eat ONLY what they want!! We then came home and Daddy was home and the girls took a nap and then we all went to dinner with the Beasleys at Glory Days. It was not a very plesent dinner as my girls do not like to sit in their high chairs in public anymore. Mr. K did good. Kevin and Lonnie got mugs as a free gift to all Fathers on Fathers Day, very sweet!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-89519435148432833542011-06-16T11:18:00.000-04:002011-06-17T11:20:24.881-04:00Laugh of the week 1We were in costco riding along and keagan and Lillianah were sitting in the top of the shopping cart. I asked Lillianah for a kiss, she gave me one, sweet girl. Auntie Heather asked Lillianah for a kiss, she gave her one, sweet girl. We told Lillianah to give keagan a kiss, she turned to him stuck her tounge on his check and blew a fart noise, haha.Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-13452338199005447742011-06-15T11:02:00.000-04:002011-06-16T11:10:16.183-04:00I told and asked....I smacked zoey's hand lightly today bc she was throwing her food on the floor. She smacked me back.<br />
<br />
I told Lillianah to get off the couch or sit on her bottom, she laughed at me and shook her head no.<br />
<br />
I told Keagan to pick up the cheerios he just dumped all over the floor and put them back in his cup. He went over to Zoey and dumped her cheerios on the floor instead.<br />
<br />
I looked over and keagan was trying to drag zoey across the floor by her hair, I yelled at him then he hugged her.<br />
<br />
I told Lillianah to give me a kiss, and she did.<br />
<br />
I asked L,Z, and K, where their tummys are and they showed me.<br />
<br />
I asked them what a doggie says and they said woof woof.<br />
<br />
I asked Keagan where his eyes, nose, mouth and ears are and he showed me.<br />
<br />
I told Lillianah to bring me the blocks and she did.<br />
<br />
I told zoey to use her fork to eat her pizza and she tried to poke every little piece.<br />
<br />
I told all three of them it was nap time, and they all went and found their binkys, blankets, and went to the bottom of the stairs and waited for me to open the gate to go up.<br />
<br />
I said it was snack time and they all three sat on the floor looking up at me, patiently waiting for me to put godlfish in their hands.<br />
<br />
Lillianah was getting into everythign in the kitchen while i was trying to cook breakfast, so I put her on the other side with the gate up, she tried to climb over the gate and get back in the kitchen.<br />
<br />
I walked into the palyroom and keagan and zoey were riding the horses side by side laughing and babaling.<br />
<br />
They are a mess, I love them all, they are my life, and I would not change a thing. Love my three little monsters.Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-14467186833358059582011-06-14T11:17:00.000-04:002011-06-16T11:19:42.983-04:00DoggiesWe got dressed in our super cute cowgirl boots(that grammy bought for them in TN) and we went to visit Robbie and Kellys puppies.

More independent, yes. But harder in a different way, YES! They are a bundle of joy...today<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SbNdKLjJFXU/TfDMozs3h9I/AAAAAAAAA6k/vco2ILlTbI8/s1600/three.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SbNdKLjJFXU/TfDMozs3h9I/AAAAAAAAA6k/vco2ILlTbI8/s320/three.jpg" t8="true" width="240" /></a></div>They have their own playroom now and they wonder in there, well if it gets quiet..I usually quickly jump from whatever I am doing and go in there.....this is what I walked into today. Zoey (the one on the floor) had put her snack on the jumperoo and was eating it. Lillianah climbed in the jump a roo all by her self, and it looks to me like keagan wanted to get in as well, so in this picture he is grunting and getting pissed as he is trying to get his feet in and sit on top of Lillianah!! CRAZY CLIMBERS! We only still have this toy set up because they like to play with the toys on the outside of it, I knew they could cimb on it, but not in it, or on top of it!!!! CRAZY babies!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-939379906296541272011-06-07T14:18:00.000-04:002011-06-07T14:18:47.816-04:00Back in ActionWell I think its about time to start writing on my blog again. I mean it has been since APIRL, and alot has gone on since then, so rather than try to write about everything ill just do a small summary. From the day of the birthday until today, which has only been 2 months and 4 days, which does not sound like a long time, but is really, in baby to toddler months. The girls are running EVERYwhere. They are saying mama, and dada, and babaling everything, trying to repeat us, we here bye and hi. Oh how they are SO big. <br />
They are getting into everything, they now know how to get into the child proff cabinets, they like to open and climb into the dish washer, and they have tried the oven(scary) yes. They climb in and out of the bath tub, they have learned that they can fall off the couch and now learned to go back wards, they race up the stairs, they know that when I say lets go take a bath, or lets go take a nap, or night night time, they run to the stairs. The wiggles, lets just say lifesaver.<br />
Oh my sweet monsters are getting so big, yet are so little. They love their sand box and the pool is new to us too, and they have a blast! They like to eat mulch, mud, toilet water, sand, all the little things they should not buit they do. They both have tried POOP, yes I said it. I felt guily for not looking at them for that point two seconds that they tried it, but they have on different occasions. I can not take my eyes off of them, unless they are baby proofed to the max and I know they are safe. My house pretty much is a couch, TV, and toys, nothing else, we dont do decorations bc they will jsut get into them! <br />
Lillianah's crib is by the light switch so she now turns it off and on when she does not want to go to sleep or when she wakes up. MUSIC, where to begin, the loveeeee loveee music, they both love it and love to dance but I think Lillianah secretly loves it a little more. Zoey is getting GREAT with her fork, she concentrates so hard to poke that one green bean or mac and chz. They both can eat rice and mashed potatoes out of a bowl by them selves, with a little help from me every few bites. <br />
They are crazy and they are everywhere! I love them more and more each day! Please forgive me for my small break, I am back in action and ready to blog my friends!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-52254208970936160702011-04-08T22:19:00.001-04:002011-05-04T10:08:30.201-04:00Bye Bye Boobies!No more breastfeeding!

BabiesYou know back when our babies were still "babies" we were saying how much "easier it would get if we were just at the "next stage." <br />
<br />
1. Just laying still and stearing at their mobiles---Oh I wish they would learn to roll over!<br />
Completed a milestone, Yes. Now they are rolling, cant lay them just anywhere.<br />
<br />
2. Just laying on their bellies---Oh I wish my babies were sitting up so they could play with their toys better!<br />
Completed a milestone, Yes. Now this milestone I think was a good one! They couldnt move but they were content playing with their toys!<br />
<br />
3. Oh I am ready for them to learn to pull up!<br />
Completed a milestone, Yes. BUt now they can reach everything!!!!!!!!!!!! Baby proof!!! Baby Proof Everything!<br />
<br />
4. Oh I am ready for them to pick up their own food, and stop feeding them baby food on a spoon.<br />
Completed a milestone, Yes! But now I CLEAN up even more bc half their food ends up on the floor! So this involoves sweeping after every meal, and Moping if they ate something Messy!<br />
<br />
5. Oh I am ready for them to crawl!<br />
Completed a milestone, Yes. But crawl, o my, times two, o dear, this was crazy! Baby gates, 4 of them! Top and bottom of stairs and going into the kitchen! Baby gates baby gates!!!<br />
<br />
6. Oh I am ready for them to WALK, or should I just skip walking and say running!<br />
THIS IS A BIG MILESTONE, AND SINCE MY MONSTERS starting taking steps at 8 months, they are now running away from me! And they think its funny!<br />
<br />
So,,,,stages got harder, and stages got easier, in different ways as they get older! Toddlers are FUN, but def. more work!!!! Love my babies, Slow dowwwwwwwwwwwn!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-65777202511639909472011-04-03T21:38:00.000-04:002011-04-05T22:03:35.345-04:00'Be who you are and say what you feel, ... There is no one alive who is Youer than You."<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Dr. Seuss could not have said it better!!!!

They have developed into their own sweet personalitys! Although one week, one of them will do something or act a certain way and the next week they will switch! They are starting to really "play" with each other, or I should say pulling each others hair, knocking each other down, and stealing each others toys! But I think this is there way of "learning to play" with each other! Hey its true love when you pull someones hair and they pull yours back, right? <br />

I think I can now officially say, I have walkers!!! WAHOO!(or should I say OH NO) For their one year check up they both walked like big girls from the waiting room, all the way into the room where they were going to see the doctor!!! BIG GIRLS!!! SO BIG! They get harder and easier as they hit different stages! My arms get a break ? Yes, but now my legs get a workout! I get to chase them everywhere! The girls STATS, were Lillianah 21 pounds even and Zohan 19.8 lbs, both their head is the same size and it is in the 90 % ! Ha! Just like their momma, I had a big head when I was younger, and as my dad used to tell me, my body had to grow to catch up with my head! <br />

Their Birthday party was a HUGE success!! All the prep. and hard work paid off! I think I was doing crafts for a month! I hand made everything with help from erinator, g-ma jo and Heather! We had the party at my moms house and it was of course THING 1 THING 2 from Dr Seuss! But I will have to put a blog post up specfically about the party!<br />

I would have never thought when the girls were two months old that it would fly by this fast!! I do have to say, all the pain that I went through to have them, all the pain that I experienced afterwards, all the crying sessions, frustrations of trying to get twinfants to latch on at the same time, sleep deprevation, not eating hot meals, not going out to hang out with my friends just because, any many more things, I would give up all that and more over and over and over again for my sweet babies! I dont remember much after the c-section, but I do remember looking into my sweet baby girls eyes for the first time and falling in love instantly! The love you experience for your own child is undescribable, its pure and real and nothing like it in the world.<br />
<br />
I love you to the moon and back again and I am looking forward to the toddler stage, its bitter sweet!Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-28810403909160650462011-03-31T13:06:00.002-04:002011-03-31T13:06:51.033-04:00I was researching quotes to use at the girls birthday party this weekend, as you all know, my sweet monsters are going to be thing 1 and thing 2. Well I came across this poem and thought it was SUPER cute and wanted to share, it fits my lifestyle perfect just now, and of course it helps that it is Dr. Seuss!<br />
Dr. Seuss for Nursing Moms<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you nurse her in the park?<br />
<br />
Would you nurse him in the dark?<br />
<br />
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?<br />
<br />
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I would nurse him in the park,<br />
<br />
I would nurse her in the dark.<br />
<br />
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.<br />
<br />
Floppy boobs will never stop me.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Can you nurse with your seat belt on?<br />
<br />
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?<br />
<br />
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,<br />
<br />
I will nurse her `till she’s full!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Can you nurse and make some soup?<br />
<br />
Can you nurse and feed the group?<br />
<br />
It makes her healthy strong and smart,<br />
<br />
Mommy’s milk is the best start!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Would you nurse him at the game?<br />
<br />
Would you nurse her in the rain?<br />
<br />
In front of those who dare complain?<br />
<br />
I would nurse him at the game.<br />
<br />
I would nurse her in the rain.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As for those who protest lactation,<br />
<br />
I have the perfect explanation.<br />
<br />
Mommy’s milk is tailor made<br />
<br />
It’s the perfect food, you need no aid.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,<br />
<br />
Avert their eyes or even giggle.<br />
<br />
To those who can be cruel and rude,<br />
<br />
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I would never scoff or giggle,<br />
<br />
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!<br />
<br />
I would not be so crass or crude,<br />
<br />
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
We make the amount we need<br />
<br />
The perfect temp for every feed.<br />
<br />
There’s no compare to milk from breast-<br />
<br />
The perfect food, above the rest.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Those sweet nursing smiles are oh so sweet,<br />
<br />
Mommy’s milk is such a treat.<br />
<br />
Human milk just can’t be beat.<br />
<br />
I will nurse, in any case,<br />
<br />
On the street or in your face.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I will not let my baby cry,<br />
<br />
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.<br />
<br />
It’s not about what’s good for you,<br />
<br />
It’s best for babies, through and through.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I will nurse her in my home,<br />
<br />
I will nurse her when I roam.<br />
<br />
Leave me be lads and ma’am.<br />
<br />
I will nurse her, Mom I am.Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-7190194539035895232011-03-30T21:32:00.002-04:002011-03-30T21:32:21.539-04:00362<div style="text-align: center;">its starting to sink in.</div><div style="text-align: center;">my babies will be one in just three days.</div><div style="text-align: center;">where has the time gone.</div><div style="text-align: center;">it has gone so soon.</div><div style="text-align: center;">i love you babies to the moon and back again.</div><div style="text-align: center;">love, mom</div>Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-44959267645021551702011-03-29T16:09:00.000-04:002011-03-29T16:09:54.530-04:00Stroller MAMA's<div style="text-align: center;">you know its like stroller strides but its free. im all about free stuff aren't you. </div><div style="text-align: center;">we workout tuesday, thursday and saturday.</div><div style="text-align: center;">we roatate neighborhoods so its fair.</div><div style="text-align: center;">we run, walk, cardio, run, walk, legs/butts, run walk, arms, run, walk, abs. bam we are done.</div><div style="text-align: center;">want to join? its fun, we have 4 moms and 5 babies and we would love more.</div><div style="text-align: center;">the babies, well lets see they, eat cookies, drink milk, play with toys, and jibber jabber.</div><div style="text-align: center;">life's hard for them, eh?</div><div style="text-align: center;">occasionally will stare at us like we have 5 heads when we are all dying from working out.</div><div style="text-align: center;">working out with our post-baby(ies) bodies. eh. </div><div style="text-align: center;">summer is my motivation, whats yours?</div>Mandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13259459293390804228noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-417437134556349609.post-6681888648093375632011-03-28T10:26:00.000-04:002011-03-29T11:34:24.860-04:00We like Target do you?Target, is our favorite place to shop. I mean it has a little bit of every thing, you can go in there and pretty much get anything you need, besides meats and fresh fruit. But thats ok. I am like an addict, I have to go there every weekend, even if I do not need anything, but I some how manage to come up with a list of things that I "need." (or i think i need) and when I say "I," I really should say babies, bc they are the center of my shopping now. <br />
They do have good deals and you get great cupons after you buy something. Don't you think they should give them to you before? I do, that would be great. <br />
We do lots of shopping, the girls LOVE to look around and shop, I am glad I have girls, Keagan always goes with us too. BC I always shop with my mere and my soeur. But in a couple years, Keagan is going to want to go "fishing, hunting, or play with his daddy" and no more mommy shopping time! This is why she needs to have another baby! Don't you think? THen I will have two kids and then she will have two kids and mom and dad will have 4 grandkids. Then we will be tied, PERFECT, then after that, well lets not talk about after that because I am not ready for more kids for a while. Would love it, but I am enjoying my time with just my two girls right now, selfish? Maybe. But I love them and not ready for more nor is my body.<br />
Speaking of bodiess,, ehhhhhh pre-pregnancy body where did you go!? Please come back!<br />
<br />
We just started a couple weeks ago a stroller mama's group. We work out with the babies 3 days a week, its great! I love it, run, walk, jog, and do lots of cardio, abs, legs and arms, and buts! We work it all and it could not have been working out better!!!<br />
<br />
Do you like to shop? Circle yes or no?<br />
