13 weeks and counting

Ok ok, I know it's been a while since I've posted but we've had a lot of visitors and other things going on in our lives recently. For the past few weeks we've had just about every member of each family visit and it's been great! I also had to make a trip out to Oklahoma City recently so it's just been go go go! Here is the latest on the pregnancy......

I am 13 weeks as of yesterday and on the morning of April 1st (literally) my belly popped out. I actually went from just a bump to a very noticeable bulge. My morning sickness has gotten better but I still have my days where I just feel like I'm going to die. We had our last ultrasound on April 2nd and the babies were movin like crazy. It was so weird to see that going on inside of me. It was like I was watching a movie or something since I couldn't actually feel it. Right now they tell me that the babies are the size of limes so today at the grocery store I held 2 limes up to my stomach to get an idea. Seems so weird. I just still can't believe it.

I had a little bit of a scare last week when I was lazily walking around home depot and began feeling my heart race and the feeling like someone was sitting on my chest. Luckily, Brandon was meeting me up there and was able to make sure I was ok. I called the doctor and was told to take an antacid and some ibuprofen and to lay on my left side for 2 hours. Apparently twins take a lot of my blood and put a lot of pressure on my heart so every now and then I just have to rest no matter what. Luckily it all went away and I didn't have to go to the hospital but it was scary all the same. Every since then I have felt pretty good minus some morning sickness and fatigue.

My parenting instincts, or something like it, kicked in for sure yesterday. I caught 3 neighborhood boys in my backyard and one had kicked or trampled on one of the dogs. I heard the dogs barking like crazy and went to check it out and immediately yelled at the boys to get out of my yard unless they wanted to get bit. LOL I don't think I've ever been so mother like. It was pretty humerous but also upsetting. UGH!

I have a job interview next Tuesday with Kohl's and I'm so hoping for the discount to my favorite store!!! Wish me luck!

I hope everyone is well and I'll try to post a little more often now that I'm feeling better. Keep checking my facebook for new pics of the belly. I'm gonna start posting one every couple of weeks.

Love you all!!!
