Pregnancy Update

How far along? I'm 24 weeks as of this Friday.

Total weight gain? I have gained 20lbs thus far. I'm not looking forward to gaining any more weight. I can say most of my weight has been in my breast and tummy. The last time I went to the OB, I gained 4lbs in two weeks.

Maternity clothes? Please, the past few weeks I haven't gone anywhere but the OBs office. What have I been wearing? It hasn't been maternity clothes...I have been in night/house clothes. I have become a home body these past few weeks and I'm hating every minute of it. I will be walking around naked soon. LOL

Sleep? Sleep has been getting a bit better. I'm still not completely comfortable all the time, but I get good night sleeps. Also, no more vitamins at night.

Movement? The boys are moving like crazy. Miles is pretty laid back but he kicks me at the worse times. Mekhi is a boxer/kickboxer..He has a problem keeping his hands and feet to himself. He feels my bladder and cervix are in his way, he kicks my bladder when it is the least bit full or he plays a UFC fighter with my cervix. Movement has not been a problem for the past few weeks. I'm hurting more and more each day, it was cute at first but they are getting bigger.

Food Craving? Still have not had any cravings. I'm a equal opportunity eater at this point. The the boys want the boys get.

Gender? I'm the luck blessed mother of two boys!

What I miss? I'm missing getting in the shower and not feeling like I have worked for 8 hours. I miss my go get'em energy. I miss being able to put on my clothes in a quick swift motion, without having to catch my breath. I miss Sushi.

What I am looking forward to? I'm looking forward to loving my babies. I'm looking forward to the completion of the nursery. I'm looking forward to 37 weeks of pregnancy with my little boys.


Embarrassing Moment? I haven’t had any embarrassing moments as of yet.

What I can’t stand? I get irritated about everything now days. It doesn’t take much to get me upset or angry. I get heated really fast. I better be having a boy and a girl, because if its two girls I will just go crazy. I can not deal with two of me.

Message to baby? Stop kicking me!!! Thanks Management

I'm getting a.....

Fing DVR. How in the hell am I supposed to watch my favorite shows, if they all come on at the same damn time. I'm calling DirecTV in the AM and getting my DVR by the weekend.

Blue Bloods
Off the Map (New show, I love it!)
Law and Order SVU

All of these shows come on at 10pm Wednesday night. This sucks!!! I have to keep flipping channels. Thank goodness SVU is a re-run.

The Beginning Stages of Mekhi and Miles Nursery

It was very hard for me to relinquish control of this project but it's turning out pretty good. I never really trusted Mr. Mungo with painting or any other house hold projects and this one had it's ups and downs. I have to go over the work to assure my boys will be happy with the way the room turned out. The first few pictures are of the taping of the room. The lines of tape you see from the bottom of the wall to about 36 inches up are going to be white stripes after all is finished. There will also be chair rail added to the room as well.

Enough typing here it is....

Mekhi and Miles

My babies and I have been through a lot in the past couple of days. I have been praying for my Mekhi as he has falling behind in growth 12 days.

I was given a CD with some Sono pics on it and wanted to post so you all can see my baby boys. Sorry in advance because Miles (Baby B) is transverse (face my back) and we can not get a shot of his face. He is shy LOL.

The Nook Book

I have been reading this book, and have run across a great poem that I had to post. Here it is..

Kupenda
Kwame Alexander

I have never been a slave
Yet, I know I am whipped
I have never escaped underground
Yet, the night knows my journey

I have never been to Canada
Yet, I've crossed your border
If I were a poet in love
I'd say that
with you
I have found that new place
Where romance
is just a beginning
And Freedom
is our end.

The Nook Color

I love to read and haven't made time to do so in the past year. For Christmas my husband brought me a Nook Color. I was extremely happy because I was not sure what I wanted at all. And he hit the nail on the head.

What am I reading... A bunch of books all at once. One of the books I purchased has taking over though, it's called It's All Love. I will be posting excerpts from this book very soon, I'm falling in love with reading again.
