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!
