Someone sent me this video clip and I about peed in my pants watching it! For one, I have never even heard of Ross the Intern, but I fell in love with him instantly! For two, it's a clip about him meeting Steve Irwin who I admired so much! It is definately worth your time to watch it. I've seen it about 10 times and it still makes me laugh out loud each time I see it!

No, I'm NOT 9 months...
I'm only 6 months and if one more person asks me if I'm almost due, I'm going to crap and die. It's funny what random strangers think they can say and do to you when you are pregnant. So many strangers feel open to rubbing my belly like it's a genie lamp, or showing me pictures of their kids, or telling me how HUGE I am! I even had a random 16 year old boy come up and rub my tummy! Last week, I went to lunch with a bunch of girls from work and our waitress came up to me and said, "Damn girl! You must not have had ANY titties befo' you was pregnant!" Thanks lady.
For those of you who don't know, we had a pretty bad scare a little more than a week ago. I caught the flu and ended up in the hospital. I became severly dehydrated which sent me into premature labor. The doctors were able to stop the contractions with a shot turbutaline and re-hydrated me intravenously with 4 bags of saline. They wanted me to spend the night in the hospital but I was so uncomfortable that I just wanted to go home so I checked myself out. That probably wasn't the smartest decision because I ended up back in the hospital a day later with contractions again. Luckily, they stopped on their own and everything has been calm since.
On a much happier note, I think that the babies have discovered each other over the last couple of days! I'll get alot of punches and kicks from her side and it's answered by punches and kicks from his side... kind of like an echo. They play alot in the middle too so I think they are finally starting to realize that someone else is in their hotel room! It's very cute although it makes me feel like a human washing machine with all that shaking going on in there! We have another doctor's appointment next Thursday in Charleston so hopefully I'll have more pictures to post of them. I hope those string beans have put on some weight!
So for all you peeps who have been dying to see what twiggy smalls looks like as a fat girl...
I have no idea how much further out there I can grow! I'm so scared! I'm only 24 weeks pregnant and still need to carry these kids for another 16 weeks for them to be considered "term" babies. The 40 week thing probably won't happen but as long as I can make it to 32 weeks, I'll be happy. I don't have any stretch marks yet so that's good but I'm sure those are only a couple weeks away. I'm scared about having premature babies, about the workload I'm going to face, about looking like a crusty old deflated balloon with flapjack boobs once I pop... PEW! Keep your fingers crossed for us that these kids will marinate in there a little while longer! Thanks so much to those of you who have been sending prayers to us! It means everything!

I need a DONUT!
...and I ain't talking about the kind from good ol' Dunkin'! I need a donut for my ass! These kids are killing my tailbone!
Okay, so alot has happened since my last post. It finally hit Brent and I that we don't have much time left to get done the things that are on our 'to-do' list before the twins are here. I've been painting the nursery like a mad woman while Brent has been working his ass off trying to finish the bonus room before the shower on Dec. 2nd. Here is a picture of Brent working on the bonus room last weekend. He is a tool (a very handy one too!).
This past Thursday we went to Charleston for our BIG ultrasound. The babies are doing well and we found out that we are having one boy and one girl!!! I can't believe it! How did we get so lucky!?!?!? I mean, I feel more blessed than I could ever convey to another human being. It's unreal. This whole process has been traumatic and stressful and something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Having said that, the rewards of this experience has turned out way better that I could have ever expected. I can't imagine going through everything we have been through with a negative outcome. Now, one last prayer... that these babies are healthy and strong when they are born. These are pictures of our babies and their junk. :)
This weekend was another productive weekend. The nursery is painted and the cribs are put together. The bonus room is completely primed. It's still not done, but at least we are getting closer. We bought tons of pink stuff to balance out all the blue clothes we already have. These kids don't need anymore clothes! They have more stuff than me or their father! Spoiled rotten!

Preciousness
Brent is pretty good about getting me flowers for no reason. I'll come home to a bunch and smell them for a minute and then watch them die over the next week, but now I feel like I can extend their life by taking a picture of them the first day and posting them on our blog. Brent was out of town for the beginning of the week and it was harder for me now that I'm pregnant. I need him here with me because my days seem to be so much longer and harder. He was gone for three days too which is a long time for one of his trips. I guess he missed me as much as I missed him because I came home to this pretty bouquet. I can't imagine how it's going to be for me when he needs to go out of town and I'll have two babies to take care of all by myself. I guess we'll take it one step at a time.

J-Rod Turns Thirty!
Brent and I went to Atlanta this weekend for a surprise 30th Birthday for Jared. It was great! We got to see tons of people who we haven't seen in a really long time... some we hadn't seen since our wedding! We met everyone at the Taco Mac at Perimeter to celebrate his birthday and to watch the Florida vs. Alabama game. Brent was hammered and Joanne and I 
drank our non-alchoholic, skunk-tasting, fake beer together. Rachel and her Alabama friends were being "Roll-Tide obnoxious". Pitts was talking smack to Rachel after they lost and Jared had to talk her out of fighting him. There was this other rando chick there that kept bumming cigarettes off of the group who was just so freaking annoying. It was so fun watching Brent make fun of her to her face. I miss just being able to hang out with comfortably fun and crazy people. Especially those peeps! It was kind of like old times and I think Brent and I both needed it pretty bad. It made us feel normal again for a few hours. We were supposed to meet up with them later at another bar after we checked into a hotel but we tried a couple hotels that were booked and somehow just ended up driving towards home. We stayed in Macon last night. It was relaxing and nice to get out of town for the weekend.
This is our pal Pat. Pat is a very unusually unique character. He is super sweet and very odd and somehow always finds a way to make everyone laugh by doing something ridiculously stupid. Yesterday, Pat decided he was going to eat this HUGE blob of blue icing in one bite. It was about the size of a grapefruit - so nasty. He did it. We laughed and gave him money for his dumb trick. It was great and very Pat. He would be a fun person to have as a pet. We love him to death!

It's Official... We Are Complete Dorks!
Being preggo with twins has imposed some pretty huge changes in our lives. My car, my precious and beautiful car who I had dubbed "Fomp", needed a new owner because it was only 2 door. We posted it online thinking it might take a couple months to sell. However, I guess she was even prettier than we thought because it took less than a week. One prospect. No haggling. I watched her drive away with tears in rolling down my cheeks and shouted to her that she had been a good girl! I was completely at a loss because I didn't know what to replace her with.
Enter "BIG BERTHA"...
We quickly (though not hastily) decided on a Honda Odyssey. That's right... a freaking minivan! Brent talked me into looking at them and I swear that they have awesome features for someone lugging around twins. I was so hesitant because I still see myself as a young and fairly cool chick (whether that's true or not is a different story). Now, I look like I'm driving a FedEx truck down the road and feel like I'm quickly morphing into a 'soccer mom'. Pew! It's nice from the driver/passenger seat forward. Anything towards the rear just resembles a big old whale's butt!

My Very First Blog (Hopefully In a Chain of Many!)
Okay peeps! I was completely inspired by Heather Dorrance's blogspot that I thought that I should start one too! I just hope that I have the discipline that she does to keep up with it. It will be nice once the babies are here to help me keep everyone current with how they are growing and what we are all up to. For now, I will update you on the household milestones that happened this week!
The two little turdballs are growing like weeds! We had a doctor's appointment on Tuesday and they were both doing really great! They were doing flips and tumbles everywhere and wouldn't sit still or cooperate with the doctor long enough for her to determine the sexes of both babies. Again, we saw one little dingdong but the other baby was being modest and refused to cooperate with the doctor. Both of the babies are kicking me like crazy and it's absolutely amazing to think that I am growing 2 little humans in my belly -- like tomato plants or something! Our next appointment is up in Charleston in 2 weeks.
At 5 years and one week old, Tony mer licked and cleaned his butt for the first time ever! We were cheering and did a little jig for him and told him how proud we were! He is the smartest and the best buddy ever. He mer the most studious scholar of the century! My buddy is mer an honor roll student! If I have two boys, Brent better watch out because I'm naming one of them after my son!
