We had another showing this morning at 11am. I got up and tried to straighten up then crystal called and invited us to hang out while the house was being shown. We ended up staying there until 1:30 or so. I felt kinda bad... like i'd outstayed my welcome... did your momma ever say that to you when you were little... she's got me paranoid now!
Last night we watched the longest yard and robots... i really liked the longest yard... robots was okay. now i wanna see monster in law :)
Tonight I have Celebrate Recovery... not looking forward to going... only b/c i'm so tired and i really just want to hang out with my hubby. Oh well!
I was supposed to go to Her Choice (in b'ham) for a 3D ultrasound... my sister in law volunteers there and they've never done a 3D US on twins. It was going to be free. I ended rescheduling it b/c my mother in law (who i'm not sure how she ended up going with me) was sick. I really didn't need (or want)to go with me... i just needed someone to watch Darcy. It's something I'd rather have my husband there for... ya know. Anyways... we're going to reschedule for another day.. maybe he can go... if not then my mom said she'd go... its different when its 'your' mom. does that make sense? oh well.

my daddy
Well I think my dad might be as crazy about Reality TV as Crystal is... if that's possible. My dad has always watched Amazing Race and he'd call me over past seasons and ask if i'd watched it... i say dad... i don't watch it... he'd say well you need too its so good. so today I called him to ask if he watched it last night and of course he did. we both got really excited talking about it and before i knew it we'd been on the phone gabbing like a bunch of girls for a 10 minutes... lol. He's pulling for the widow and her kids too.
maybe we can have amazing race parties together :)

Doctor's appointment
okay okay... i made an appointment with a NEW heart doctor... the soonest they could see me was Nov 1st. I decided not to go back to the old one b/c he had plenty of time to fix the problem but didn't do it.
ps. we have another showing in the morning!

Amazing Race Family
If you could be on this season's amazing race which 3 people would you take with you from your family and why????
I'd take Michael, Heather and Matthew.
Matthew thinks things out... could be good or bad.... and he's physically and mentally strong. Oh and matthew was an EAGLE SCOUT!
Michael's stong and going through all this military training i think he would do well... he just might get mad with me and Heather b/c we're not as strong :)
Heather b/c she's pretty smart and pretty fit too.
Me... well i'm good with puzzles and directions. And i would be liked by other people both in the game and not... people would want to help us :) I'm not really good with physical challenges... at least not if its running!

The house
so far the feedback we've heard is... one couple said it was too big! LOL... I thought that was a compliment. another person said too much yard to take care of... we have a really big front yard and a nice size back yard. I don't know what the people from last night said.
I'm just praying it sales quickly so we can pay off our debt and move into the next phase of our life. We're very eager about following this plan... we really feel like God told us to do this and we'er going to do it.

my last 24 hours
well we had a showing yesterday, a showing this morning and one this evening. The one this morning was scheduled for 9am so we spent the night at the brocks last night. I figured it would be hard for me to straighten up and get darcy up that early.... BIG MISTAKE!!!!!! Well the four of us slept in one room b/c thats all thats ready... i know i know... nobody is in a big hurry to get us moved in! We started out with Jessica and me in the bed... matt was on the floor with Darcy. She thought it was great that we were all in there :) After we finally managed to get her to realize we were going to sleep not playing she was fine.... then BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! It woke me up... I had just fallen asleep... and may i add that falling asleep is a task for me b/c my mind will not shut down! At first I didn't realized what the loud BOOM was... then it hit me... my crazy mother in law was packing up books and stacking the boxes in the hall way!!!!!!!!!!! OMG.. I looked at the clock a couple of times... i remember one time it was 11pm! Everytime I would drift off to sleep BOOM! I had to talk myself out of going upstairs... it would have been ugly b/c i was not a happy campier! Not to mention the floors squeak like crazy so i could hear every stinkin step!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! At some point in the night Darcy woke up screaming... we tried to rubbing her back but it didn't help... then we realized she was soakin wet! That girl can fill a diaper! so we were changing diapers and clothes in the wee hours off the morning... and the evil part of me was hoping that we woke up mrs. b :) Around 4:30 am Matt's alarm clock started going off.... just a few hours later it was time for jessica to get up... she didn't make it. I know I know... bad reason for skipping school but we were all so stinkin tired. Darcy ended up sleeping until 10am and we slept right along with her :) We came home and chilled for the rest of the day. When I put Darcy down for her nap jessica and I both took one too.
This afternoon we had another showing... it was at 6pm. We went to grab mexican food and then hit the super walmart and got grocerys. I'm excited about the showings but my poor husband would like to be able to come home from work and rest.
OH!!!! I've never really watched the Amazing Race but i did tonight... only b/c it was the premier and I knew I hadn't missed anything... it was sooooo good. I'm pulling for the family with the two young kids... or either the widow with her kids ( did you see the runaway buggy... OMG i thought she was really hurt)... actually the only family i dislike is the family from new jersey... OBNOXIOUS!

YIPPIE
I have a showing today!!! Between 4 and 5:30 someone will be looking at our house!!!!! How exciting... and i'm very grateful for the 4 hour prep time. I've been babysitting Aimee's son, Luke, this morning. I've been pretty good at keeping things picked up so I don't expect too much of a headache. Say a prayer!!!!!

proof read
sometimes when i read over my post before i actually hit publish... I don't really read... i read what I was supposed to type instead of what actually got typed... but you guys get the picture :)
nothing new
I spent most of the day on my couch watching football. The only game that was interesting was the Alabama game... Florida kicked Kentucky's butt... I got tired of watching it after a while.
Matt's Dad came over and finished painting our bedroom. He painted our bathroom last week. We also rearranged the furniture in our bedroom. It looks like a different room.
Tomorrow I'm going to attempt to go to church without my hubby.... will see.

scary morning
This morning was like every other morning.... around 8am Darcy woke up for her morning bottle. I made her bottle and went into her room. I started changing her diaper and all the sudden it hit me! I was about to pass out. Within seconds I went from perfectly fine to barely standing. I was in the middle of changing darcy and all i could think was i've got to get her back into her crib or else she'll roll of the changing table when I pass out. I barely got her diaper on and wasn't able to button her pj's back... I had to lay her down or else we'd both be in the floor. I knew i had to get to a phone but I was getting really dizzy. My vision was starting to go and all around my mouth I was numb. I felt really nauseous but i knew if i went to the bathroom i would pass out. I managed to make it back to my bed and grabbed the phone. I called my mom first but got no answer... i was feeling like i was fading out. I called matthew's cell... i scared him to death. All I could say was i'm going to pass out. ((((( you might be asking where's jessica during this... she spent the night with my sister)))) Matthew tried to talk to me but when i get to that point I can't talk... I just moan. He said he was going to call his dad but i wouldn't let him b/c i was in my underwear... silly i know. He hung up with me and tried to get in touch with my sister or anyone that was closer than he was.... he's working in VANCE! he called me back and said he'd gotten my sister... her and my mom were about to leave for the auburn game but they came by here instead. By the time they had gotten here I was feeling better... (nearly 40 minutes later!) It was a pretty scary feeling. I don't think I had ever gotten that close without actually passing out. I really thought I was going to pass out changing Darcy and I guess my motherly will power came out... I knew she'd fall off the changing table. I couldn't pass out. I came real close to calling 911... I had decided had I not been able to get matthew I was calling 911.
But everythings okay now... I'm still feeling really weak. Jessica's here now and so is Mr. B... he's painting my bedroom today :) Matthew will be home around 3:15.... I'll feel much better then.
And yes... I'm making an appointment with my heart doctor first thing monday morning.

Drugged Up
Last night it took me forever to fall asleep... this morning it took me forever to wake up! I felt like I had taken some kind of sleeping pill or something. I couldn't get up. My head felt soooo heavy... I was very sluggish. I finally crawled out of bed at 11:30am. Darcy had slept just as long.... good girl :)
Darcy has had some really stong smellin diapers the last few days... poor thing... as I'm standing over her trying to change her without puking on her... she's starring up at me like 'whats wrong with you lady?' Smells have always been a big deal with me and being pregnant has only made it worse!
Well my blog no longer serves it purpose that it was created for.... I had created it so that I could share my 'issues' with my friends without having to repeat myself over and over. If you know me you know I love to tell stories but their usually pretty long :) I thought this would be a way for you (my friends) to read and fast forward to the good parts. But it turns out more people have gotten my blog address and some of those 'people' are involved in some of my stories. So in order to keep peace there will not be any drama discussed here. Sorry to let you all down. You're now back to those long phone calls.

Blog Blog Blog
I've been posting but my post are not showing up until days later... I have no idea what's wrong.
Everything is fine here.... just a little busy. Matthew's boss said yesterday that they might go to double shifts... my first thought was they'd have 2 shifts that would come in but that's not what he meant... he means matthew would be working until 1opm! I'm praying that it doesn't come to that.
I'm feeling okay.... tired of course. I don't get much sleep at night so during the day i'm really dragging. Most of my nights are filled with crazy dreams or conversations that I should have had during the day.
Darcy's been keeping me busy... she's really developing a personality. She's such a cutie!
Jessica has also been a really big help... in the afternoons she does her homework right a way and then helps with Darcy so Matt and I can get stuff done for the move.

9 weeks 6 days
Thats how far along I am silly.... the doctors appointment went fine. We had ANOTHER ultra sound but this will be my last one for 8 weeks... my next appointment is 4 weeks away... then after that I will go back in another 4 weeks to have the BIG ultra sound to find out their sexes.
Those little beans were jumping all around yesterday.... the reason for the ultrasounds is b/c he can't hear their heartbeat this soon b/c there's two of em... but like I said the next visit we should be able to hear em.
Matthew is back to working SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!! He works Four 10 hour days and Three 8 hour days. He's been to every appointment so far and plans on continueing to go to them... I'm just glad its 4 weeks away.... going every 2 weeks wasn't working out so good with his boss. Please keep matthew in your prayers.... apparently this job is WAAAAAAY behind and this is the first job this particular man has overseen.... so now that its waaaaay behind he's trying to push the blame off on others.
Tonight is Jessica's first HOME game. The game starts at 6pm incase any of you would like to come (not that I expect you to). Yesterday was makeup picture day (for cheerleading). So as soon as I get them back I'll post a pic.
After the doctor's visit we went straight to the Brock's for supper and then to get started down stairs. We got one room completely cleared out!!!!!! That was my goal. The room we cleared is going to be Darcy's room.... we were able to put some of her stuff in it. There's still a lot to be done over there... and we need to paint my bedroom and bathroom at our soon to be 'old' house. We're supposed to go over there every night this week.... wish us luck.
Well thats all for now... my muffins are done... yummy!

Court Update
Well... I guess I shouldn't have been surprised by the results... It's going to take more time to get it done. I was filing for an increase in child support and he filed for a DECREASE! He lied UNDER OATH about his income but later was caught in a lie. We will have to go back to court to appear infront of the Judge... a magistrate heard our case on Thursday. I was very frustrated b/c when we went to have the child support put into action 3 years ago it was very simple... but its different now. Please keep us in your prayers as we continue to go through this battle.

Pray!
Okay... so today is the big day... we're leaving for court in less than 2 hours... please pray for us.
ALSO>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We got a phone call this morning... Michael was bitten by a copperhead snake! YIKES!! He's okay and will be okay... he's in the hospital and will probably be there for a few days just to make sure... after that he thinks he'll be recycled back into selections... keep him and Heather in your prayers. His arm is swollen like a watermellon (his words not mine). So here's what happened... they were doing land navigation at night and he had sat down... when he went to stand up he put his arm down to brace himself and the snake bit him. I asked him what he did next if he had some sort of emergency whistle or something... he said yeah they have that and flares but he just went ahead to his next post... what a trooper!
i'll be back later with hopefully a good report of today's events :)

HELP!
I'm supposed to be getting my house ready for the realtor to come over on friday... tomorrow I will be in court so today is the only day I have to clean. I lack serious motivation and energy. I need someone over here with a bull horn. I have to move things outta my house in order to show off the room. We've got tooo much stuff in some rooms and it makes it look small. matt's parents are supposed to be clearing out their basement but i'm not sure how well thats going. We really need to take some stuff over there asap! Hopefully this weekend we can move a bunch of junk.
ps... jessica wasn't upset that no one was there... i think she was more worried that something had happened. She ended up spending the night with my parents b/c they got in so late and she was already asleep.
pps... do you guys remember heather posting on her blog about the adult store i took her to? Well her dad confessed to her last night that he had been reading her blog and had gone that far back but had to stop reading when he came to that... she was really embarrassed but i thought it was funny :)

Happy Anniversary to US!
Matt made it home by 5:30 and shortly after his dad came by to pick up Darcy. He gave me my presents... which were some stuff for my kitchen and a really awesome CD with all of our favorite love songs. We got ready and started to leave... but my parents called... they were on their way to Jessica's game but had gotten lost... by this time it was 10 till 7pm and the game started at 6pm. Apparently the directions the school sent home hadn't been updated in SEVERAL years but there's been a lot of road construction and new turns added. Needless to say they weren't so happy. They finally were able to find it and saw the last 2 minutes and 20 seconds :( I felt really bad b/c Jessica didn't have anyone there for her first game.
We went to Cajun Steamers... thanks to crystal we had a coupon... we had smoked tuna dip as an appetizer and then for our entrees he had crawfish enchiladas and i had crawfish entoufee (spelling is way off). We were going to have dessert but the server took forever and when he finally came back to our table he brought the check so we were like okay bye then!
Afterwards we went by the mall to take back some stuff matt had bought me for my b'day. Then we made a run through lane Bryant to use my gift cards.. i bought 2 shirts. We picked up darcy from the brocks around 9:30... she was still awake! And very happy to see her daddy... she's def a daddy's girl! I managed to swipe a pickle before i left :)
We're home now but matt had to go straight to bed... he's so tired. We're going to watch our wedding video this weekend and eat our wedding cake... we forgot last year... i don't expect it to be any good but we'll try it.
Oh... please don't forget to pray for thursday... we have court... Matthew was able to take off work so i feel better about it. He's my strength... yes i know the Lord is really my strength but you know what i mean!

Soup, Pickles and Ice Cream
That was my dinner! We ate at Matt's parents house. We had veggie soup... i know i know... its a little hot for it... thats why we finished it off with ice cream! And I had a few... okay okay FIVE... pickles in between.
We visited for a while afterwards. I guess I've gotta get used to being over there 24/7... thats right 24/7! We're moving in! Yep... I know you think i've lost my mind but really we've prayed about it. We're selling our house... cross your fingers.. and moving into their basement until we can pay off some debt. We have a plan and we're going to stick by it. We bought our house from a bank (it was foreclosed) so we saved a lot of $$$... we're hoping to make some money off of it and use it as a down payment for our next house (after the twins are here)... in the mean time the house payments we would be making will pay off 4 credit cards. We're also hoping to double up on my explorer payments to get that paid off sooner. We definitely have a plan.

Weekend Review and More
Friday night I made cubed steak, green bean cassarole and mac n cheese. We watched the concert for the hurricane relief. After that we watched Dateline... it was soooo sad. Jessica stayed with my mom... they went to the Auburn game Saturday morning. Sometime around 11:15pm I started feeling a little icky.... I puked!!!! Now for the details.... It hurt! I flushed 3 times and it was splashing back up in my face! I must have been in a hurry while I ate b/c I didn't chew things up very good :) It was horrible! Some people say it will go away soon but with Darcy I was sick all the way up until the day she was born! No lie... I puked in the shower the morning she was induced and had to call my mom to clean it up before i got home :) Some of my friends went throughout the whole pregnancy without puking... must be nice!
Saturday matthew had to work :( Darcy and I just hung out around the house... we had surprise visitors... Tommy, Kelly and Will Staggs stopped by for a little while. Matthew got home around 2pm. We had gotten an invite to hang out at the Underwoods later that night. We spent the rest of the afternoon being lazy. Around 6pm we headed over to the Underwood's. Another couple from our church was there too. We had Shishcobobs ( I spelt it like it sounds!!). It was yummy!
Sunday morning we made it to church!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooo Hoooo! After church Matt took the girls with him because I had to go to Aimee Underwood's baby shower. After the baby shower I came home and crashed! I woke up around 6pm. We ended up eating dinner at 8pm... bad mommy! We had grilled chicken, grilled corn on the cob and boiled shrimp. We haven't ate that late in a really long time.
Tomorrow SEPTEMBER 13TH, is our two year anniversary. It feels longer than that... I guess its b/c we've been together for 5 years this march. We spent our honeymoon in New Orleans. We would love to go back one year but its not going to be this year :( Instead, in honor of New Orleans we're going to eat at Cajun Steamers at Patton Creek.
Tomorrow is also Jessica's first game and we're going to miss it :( She told us not to worry she wasn't upset... she's such a sweet girl. Matt's parents are going to watch Darcy. My parents are going to Jessica's game.
Also this week.... On Thursday I will be in court with Jessica's dad. Please Please Please be praying that it goes smoothly. He seems to bring out the absolute worst in me. I'm so worried that he's going to be very difficult in this process. In the beginning I had told Matthew that I didn't need him to be there... but I told him last night I would like it if he were there. He's going to try and get off. If he's not there I will not have ANY family there to support me. As of today I have Lisa (Celebrate Recovery) coming with me. I've asked my pastor to be there and he's trying to work it out. I need someone level headed to be there to keep me calm and not get wrapped up in the drama... I'm afraid Lisa and I would just feed off of each other :)
Well I'd better go do something productive while Darcy is taking her nap.
Saturday matthew had to work :( Darcy and I just hung out around the house... we had surprise visitors... Tommy, Kelly and Will Staggs stopped by for a little while. Matthew got home around 2pm. We had gotten an invite to hang out at the Underwoods later that night. We spent the rest of the afternoon being lazy. Around 6pm we headed over to the Underwood's. Another couple from our church was there too. We had Shishcobobs ( I spelt it like it sounds!!). It was yummy!
Sunday morning we made it to church!!!!!!!!!!!! Whooo Hoooo! After church Matt took the girls with him because I had to go to Aimee Underwood's baby shower. After the baby shower I came home and crashed! I woke up around 6pm. We ended up eating dinner at 8pm... bad mommy! We had grilled chicken, grilled corn on the cob and boiled shrimp. We haven't ate that late in a really long time.
Tomorrow SEPTEMBER 13TH, is our two year anniversary. It feels longer than that... I guess its b/c we've been together for 5 years this march. We spent our honeymoon in New Orleans. We would love to go back one year but its not going to be this year :( Instead, in honor of New Orleans we're going to eat at Cajun Steamers at Patton Creek.
Tomorrow is also Jessica's first game and we're going to miss it :( She told us not to worry she wasn't upset... she's such a sweet girl. Matt's parents are going to watch Darcy. My parents are going to Jessica's game.

9/11
Today snuck up on me... I didn't realize it was 9/11 until I noticed the date on the church bullentin. I remember it so well. I remember I was asleep and my mother called. She said something bad was happening that a plane had crashed into one of the towers... I turned on the TV just in time to see the 2nd plane hit. I was in shock. I kept thinking about all the things I had heard Pastor Sims say about the end times. I remember praying over and over. I really thought it was the end of the world. I was glued to the TV the rest of the afternoon and for weeks following. I watched the Towers fall. I watched the peole jump from windows. I remember the sick feeling I had in my stomach. I wanted all my family to be close by me. But don't forget the other plans... there were lives lost there too.
I get frustrated when I hear of protestors against the war. Is this going to be another Vietnam? Are our soldiers going to be shamed when they come home? Why can't people just accept the fact that our troops are there and we need to SUPPORT them! Lets not make them feel like their fighting for a bunch of ungrateful, spoiled rotten, stubborn, americans back home. The lives being lost are not in vain. You may not agree with with the war but please don't strip our troops of their honor.

my thoughts
well i'm already experiencing cravings. I've eaten a lot of pickles... really... i can't explain the pickles thing but i haven't combined them with ice cream - yet. I've also been craving yogurt covered raisins but haven't gotten any yet :( I had to stop by krystals yesterday on our way home from the doctor... yummy!!!!!!
Another thing that happens while your pregnant is crazy dreams... and i've had my share! last night i dreamt I won a $10,000 shopping spree at Old Navy. But this wasn't any ole navy... this one was a TWO STORY Old Navy with everything.... electronics and all that jazz. During my pregnancy with Darcy I would dream about people that i hadn't seen in a long time or people that i've known thats died..... weird i know.
last night we kept the nursery at church... it was H E L L! I know what you're thinking but its not true... I can manage my own kids but I don't like other peoples kids :) I can pop my on the hand and say no but i don't think it would go over too well at the church nursery. We kept the babies... well there wasn't any little little babies... mostly darcy's age and older. But we had this one boy who's way too big to be in there but they don't have a middle room on Wednesday nights.... anyways he's like twice their size and he's mean!!!! He hit every kid last night at least once! He takes their toys then hits them with it... He pushes them over and SITS on them... and if you tell him NO he doesn't it even more!!!!!!!!!! I was so ready to send him to his mommy! The rest of the kids were fine.
Tonight is Celebrate Recovery... I haven't been in 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone. Sanna and Jason had their baby this morning at 1:47am... so matt and him will not be practicing tonight... yippee... he can watch the kids :)
well speaking of kids... darcy needs some mommy lovin... gotta run!

My lil Butter Beans!!
We had another ultrasound today. They're measuring 8 weeks & 2 days! Due April 17th. Dr. Adcock (aka Hotpants) said they could still be identical depending on when the egg split. He said it was good that they are in two seperate sacs b/c they are able to grow and have more room. He said they looked FINE!!!!!!!!! I will have lots of ultrasounds with these pregnancy. My next appointment is Sept. 19th. Matthew says he's going to all of the appointments b/c its got double the worries :) He said I had to be extra careful this time and do everything the doctor tells me. He's always telling me we can't have sex but I told him Until the DOCTOR says so he'd better get that outta his head! (sorry that might have been too much info for some of y'all)
I came home and took a little nap... I have a feeling i'm going to be tired a lot this time around!
well we're off to keep the nursery at church.

UPDATE
I called Kelly and got all the info about the family next door. She said that so far they have toiletries but need things like food, clothes and school supplies. They also are bored so if you have any ideas about what to do with 15 people in one house... that'd be great! The thing to point out is... these people did evacuate BEFORE the storm... they are not getting the help that the 'refugees' are getting.

Labor Day & More
Lets see... nothing really exciting happened this weekend. Matt worked Saturday. Sunday we missed church (Matt's not allowed to set his alarm anymore). Monday my parents came over and we grilled out. We had hotdogs (with all the fixins), potatoe salad, cole slaw and baked beans. Afterwards we played spades until 7pm. My mom and I won :)
Tomorrow we have to go to brookwood for an ultrasound. I'm so excited about seeing the babies... normally you have one ultrasound and its way down the road.... but with twins i'll have them more often.
Darcy has been really fussy today. She had 3 poop diapers before lunch time!!!!! I don't think its a bug... probably just teething. She's got 2 teeth that have broken through the gums.
I didn't make it to the commissioning service. We ended up visiting with the brocks. I made omelets for them... oriental style :) And they liked them!!!!!!
Well its time to put Darcy down for a nap.... what did you do for Labor Day????

Your opportunity to help
I received this email from Kelly Staggs (tommy staggs' wife). I emailed it to several of you but just incase I didn't have your email address I wanted to give you the opportunity to help this family in need.
Hey Everyone-
Well my family survived the hurricane, but so many didn't. Our hearts are
breaking seeing every picture and hearing every story that these people have
to tell. That's why I'am writing to you now. Our neighbors (across the
street) have family in New Orleans. There okay, they evacuated and came up
here. There are three families living in a three bedroom house.(total of 15
people and babies). Because they did not go to a shelter, they aren't
getting what they need. They have lost everything. There are 8 adults and 4
children that only have there cars and 3 days of clothing. I asked why they
didn't bring more with them, they said they didn't think it was going to hit
them that bad or that the levees would break. We (the neighborhood) are
trying to help, but it's not enough. They need clothes, personal items,
socks, underwear, hairbrushes, formula, diapers, wipes, blankets,etc..I
could go on and on. What me and Tommy are trying to do is to ask everyone
from our family, to our friends, and to all of our church family, is to send
money. In form of a check made out to me or Tommy so we can get them gift
cards from area stores so they can pick up things they need. I know you
might have all ready given , but if you can give even clothes you don't need
anymore or things you don't need anymore, they would greatly take it. These
people are beautiful people and we have grown attached to them, that's why
we want to help them out. Our address is: 193 Waterford Highlands Trail
Calera, Alabama. 35040
Again thank you for listening to me and keep them in your prayers.
Love Always,
Kelly
If you are not comfortable sending them a check you can fill a box full of things and send it to them or I can take it to kelly.

baby blogs
A 'friend' has a baby blog and i think its a cute idea... but between this blog and my xanga I wouldn't have much to say... so i'll just share some stuff here.
We go Wednesday for an ultrasound at Brookwood. I need to ask the dr. about my due date... I don't remember what he told me :) At first we thought I was further along but it turns out we were off. I think its late March???? Maybe I'll go on my on this time... both Jessica and Darcy were induced. But with twins more than likely i'll be early! I just hope I don't have to have a C-Section... thats scary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've thought of names but i don't think i'm going to share them until we know for sure what they're going to be :) We like Riley for a girl name but some chick at church is having a girl and she's naming her Riley :( So thats gone!

Texas Roadhouse
Matthew and his dad went shopping for anniversary presents last night... he took darcy with him. I went out to eat with my family... i had a new york strip... yummy!
Matt's working today :( Jessica is camping with her other grandparents. Darcy and I are just hanging out.
Update on Michael and Heather....
Michael made it through to Selections... he's about to go into lock down... I wish Heather would come and stay with me... its going to be a lonely 3 weeks! Then after that he goes into another lock down! His foot is better but not completely healed yet... so keep praying for that.
Darcy has another tooth thats poking through her gums... hehehe :)

oh my
what are we going to do folks... things are getting worse!?!
I passed several gas stations today that were already out of gas. There were signs saying to pay first due to the high volume of drive offs.
My family in the dauphne island area said they are without power and there's no way out b/c there's no gas!
My dad is a real estate appraiser and he fills up almost daily. Matthew is working in Vance right now... he fills up every other day. Right now our plan is to drive his until its empty then he'll drive mine. My dad is going to take my mom to work to keep her from having to use gas.
the news is depressing... did you hear about the bodies all over... people are now dying from lack of water and heat! women are being raped and babies are starving! its so horrible.
