Coasting Along

Well, this pregnancy is coasting along pretty easily. Usually in the mornings I look small, and then my evening and once I have had my dinner I look like I finally have a pregnancy pooch. I think a lot of people are in disbelief when we tell them I am 15 weeks with twins. I try to drink a smoothie while I am at work to help make sure I am getting a good amount of protein, etc. I just can't seem to pig out. I use to really really enjoy food, and now I seem to eat only our of necessity. I am never in love with my meal, it is either just OK or edible. I use to love to eat certain meals, but I just cant seem to get excited about food right now. It doesn't help that when I do eat, I can only manage 5 -6 bites before I feel full and push my plate away. My doctor isn't concerned yet, since the babies have both been measuring right on track, but I'm hoping it won't be an issue down the road. Fingers crossed my appetite picks up, although the bigger you get in pregnancy, you usuasly get squished in your stomach space, which makes it harder to eat big meals too. Another pregnancy related issue I have been dealing with is acid reflux. Seems like no matter what I eat, if I just ate or haven't eaten in a few hours, I get acid reflux. One time I was out at lunch and mid sentence I acid reflux vomited in my mouth a tiny bit, but then swallowed it right away. super gross, but it happens lol. My sense of smell is heightened too, which isn't really bothersome, except in some instances when the smell isn't pleasant and I can't get away from it. Yikes. I have started to feel some distinct baby movements, jabs, tumbles, and kicks this past week and a half. Nothing that can be felt or seen from the outside though. Other than that, the pregnancy is going very smoothly. We dont have our next OB appointment until next Monday (8/10). I get so bored waiting for the appointments to come around. we got spoiled with weekly appointments at the specialists. But life has been busy too, so I guess it is a good thing as well.

This week, my husband, Ryan, and son, Hayden, are in Alabama visiting my family... without me lol. Seems a bit odd, but I didn't want to travel and stress myself out, but still really wanted Hayden to have the opportunity to visit with my dad's side of the family, who he doesn't get to see hardly ever. We had our nephew, Daiton, down here visiting for a few weeks and had a very nice visit, even took the boys to the waterpark, which they loved. With them gone till Friday, I am looking forward to just relaxing at home and taking it easy.

On Saturday, Tori set up a table at Tony's Family restaurant in Sealy to sell raffle tickets and had a good turnout. She decided to also see about setting up a table in Rosenberg and was able to sell tickets at La Casona on Sunday. We had several people buy tickets and several simply opt to make a cash donation. The Rosenberg Fire Department stopped by for their lunch and several of the guys bought tickets too and we took a group pic by the fire truck. They are super awesome and active in the community. (same station where my son received his Junior fire fighter award!)

The benefit is right around the corner and we are getting more and more excited about it. Shirts are being made. I ordered ones for myself, Ryan, and Hayden so we can all match at the benefit. They are super cute!  raffle tickets yet, you better get on the ball! or If you will be present at the benefit on the 15th, you can purchase them there as well. Also, there will be a diaper raffle drawing too, so if you are planning to come to the benefit, bring a box of any size diapers to be entered to win.

That is pretty much all for now. The pregnancy couldn't be going any smoother! just waiting for my belly to pop so people can start believing me when I say I am carrying twins!
