10:21 AM Tomorrow I get to see my Pooh Bear!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait!!!!!!! Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
6:43 AM Heading the airport. HERE I COME POOH BEAR WAIT FOR ME. Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
7:35 AM Ugh, waiting is excruciating. Let it never be said that I am a patient person when it comes to getting something I want. Not only do I get to see Chris, but I get to be out of Destiny City for a whole week and also enjoy some nice 80 degree weather. I am already dressed for it. Lilah really likes watching the planes come in and out. It's super sweet. Babies are the best. I can't wait for Raspberry. Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
8:53 AM ON THE PLANE NOW YAY Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
10:24 AM So traveling with a two-year-old is not as easy as I thought, especially one that isn't potty trained yet. The amount of crap I have to carry around is kind of ridiculous. Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
12:33 PM Getting the rental car and heading to the ball field to see my Pooh Bear. The suspense is killing me. Quote: Friday, March 13th, 2015
1:42 PM Omg he looks so good all handsome and tanned how is it that I manage to be away from him for weeks at a time I don't even understand. What am I going to do next year when he's gone for Spring Training and there is Raspberry to take care of all by myself? Well, at least I won't be so lonely... Quote: Saturday, March 14th, 2015
7:46 AM Week 9! 31 more weeks to go! Raspberry is no longer Raspberry, but Green Olive. (At least according to one app. The other phone app says Grape.) We'll just call them Olive. Which is actually super cute because Olive/Olivia. Quote: Saturday, March 14th, 2015
9:14 AM So the first night after weeks without Pooh Bear was spectacular. I shouldn't really talk about our sex life on the internet, it would be waaaaay inappropriate, and he would kill me if he found out, but ugh. Ugh. I will just have to call up one of my girl friends and chat. Chris would kill me if he knew I did that, too, but shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Quote: Monday, March 16th, 2015
7:12 AM Today we're going to Disney Wooooooooorld!!! Just me and Lilah, though. Chris obviously can't make it. Even though we can't go on all the rides I'd normally want to, it's still going to be fun. Lilah keeps bouncing around talking about seeing Elsa. Obviously we know what Lilah is going to be wearing for our trip. Not that I don't fully intend on putting on my Princess crown for the day, too. Quote: Monday, March 16th, 2015
1:31 PM Oh my God taking a kid through Disney World is so exhausting I don't think I've ever been so tired in my entire life and I am covered in food crumbs and ice cream. Quote: Monday, March 16th, 2015
4:24 PM Disney World, as I'm sure you can all assume, was a total blast. And for those waiting in anticipation, yes, Lilah got to meet Elsa, and she was thrilled. Now if you'll excuse me, Lilah has mercifully fallen asleep. I'm going to use this blessed opportunity to take a nap. 482

Quote: Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
8:13 AM Happy Saint Patrick's Day~!! Not that I am any percent Irish. But Chris has, like, the tiniest fraction of Irish in him, and Lilah's got some in her, too, thanks to her dad. If I was at home I'd celebrate with a few drinks. But I have Lilah to look after and Chris is busy playing ball, so this year it'll be a relatively quiet Saint Patrick's. Oh my God, probably next year too since we'll have Olive. And every year after. Awww, we'll be able to get Olive all those cute “My First _______” onesies. Olive'll be born right before all the big holidays, so we're going to have a lot to celebrate this Thanksgiving and Christmas. Quote: Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
10:04 AM Does turquoise count as wearing green?????????? Quote: Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
2:21 PM Is it wrong to wear a bikini around a two-year-old? Thoughts I have while at the beach or the hotel pool. Most moms seem to wear one-pieces or tankinis or those old fashioned high-waisted bottoms (which are really cute, but also not really me). Which is fine, I guess. I mean, to each their own, I just didn't know if it was some unwritten Mom Rule or something. (Let it be said that if that is the case, my mother does not follow that rule, so maybe I'm just agonizing over this for nothing.) Not that I'm a mom yet. (Wait, can you call yourself a mom if your baby's still only a fetus??) But looking after Lilah makes me think of these things. I spent a lot of time not feeling comfortable in bathing suits, and now that I feel really good about myself I just... I don't know, I guess I like to show off a little bit. I like bandeau tops and string bikinis and those itsy bottoms Victoria's Secret always advertises. And it's not like two-year-olds know anything about modesty, right? And when Lilah's older, I don't want her to misinterpret my covering up as being ashamed of the way I look, and then as a result learn to feel shame for her own body. Sigh. I just don't know. Quote: Tuesday, March 17th, 2015
8:46 PM Chris tells me I shouldn't worry about it, but guys have it so easy. He can hang out at the beach or pool without his shirt on for the rest of his life and not be told it's inappropriate. (Not that I would complain at all if he never wore a shirt again 'cause damn. ;D) Quote: Wednesday, March 18th, 2015
9:31 AM Lilah says she wants to see Elsa again. I suppose a second trip to Disney World wouldn't hurt anything. Quote: Thursday, March 19th, 2015
11:43 AM Omg Lilah sang Let It Go to Elsa and it was the most precious thing. And by “sang” I mean she mumbled a bunch of stuff that sort of sounded like it, but whatever. A+++++ for effort. The poor girl dressed as Elsa was probably so confused since Lilah was attempting to sing it in French (I take full responsibility for that), but it was still really sweet and I wish I hadn't been so distracted by gushing that I didn't even think to catch it on video. I am a failure. Quote: Thursday, March 19th, 2015
7:13 PM I fully plan on raising Olive bilingual just like I was. I know Mom likes that I only ever talk to Lilah in French (even though it's, like, who really needs to know French anymore???), just like my dad only ever talked to me in French until I got older. It makes me miss Dad a lot, but sometimes when Lilah does sweet things like sing to Elsa it makes it seem like he's still around, you know? Not that me and Lilah have the same Dad, but... I dunno. I like to think he's still there. It makes it easier. Quote: Thursday, March 19th, 2015
8:07 PM The closer it comes to the end of Spring Break, the more bummed I feel. I wish I didn't have to leave. I miss Chris already. Quote: Friday, March 20th, 2015
1:24 PM Chris is so hopeless without me. I got a hotel suite for us so we could have some privacy while I was here, but when I'm not around Chris shares an apartment with one of his teammates and the place was half a disaster (and I'm sure you can guess whose half it was). So I spent today cleaning up a bit. I will never understand what is so hard about taking a stack of pizza boxes out with the trash, or how it is that Chris still hasn't managed to figure out how to do his own laundry (I suspect when he ran out of underwear he was just going to go out and buy more instead of washing the ones he already has), but in a way it's sort of sweet how helpless he is. One day he'll learn better. Today is not that day. Quote: Saturday, March 21st, 2015
7:49 AM Week 10! 30 more weeks to go! We are now a fourth of the way done with this thing!!!! Olive is now Prune. (According to one app. The other says Kumquat, but I like Prune better.) Quote: Saturday, March 21st, 2015
9:27 AM Speaking of my phone apps, today one of them offered an article on breast-feeding and it was going on and on about how great it is for the baby to drink breast milk, like, it boosts brain power and IQ and is easier for Prune to digest and has a bunch of other health benefits as far as weight and allergies and fighting infections and it just makes me think, like, “why the hell would I want to give my baby formula then?” So I called Olivia and we chatted for a while and she's going to pump for us when the time comes. I feel like that's another inconvenience we're saddling her with, but she's been so great about everything and I really just want what's best for the baby. We all do. Prune is already so loved. Quote: Saturday, March 21st, 2015
12:31 PM I have to leave Chris tomorrow. I'm so sad. I know I'm going to cry. 979

Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
6:13 AM I have to say goodbye to Chris today. I am not looking forward to it. Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
7:43 AM Driving to the airport. Miserable. Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
8:38 AM We said our goodbyes. I don't know what to do now. Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
9:07 AM I think sometimes I'm a little overdependent. But this year is totally different from last year. Last year I was fine when Chris had to go away. I mean, yeah, we facetimed a lot and I was always calling him, but it wasn't so hard to be without him. This year it's just been awful. I'm so lonely at home, especially at night. I'll probably end up spending a few days with my in-laws when I get back. Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
9:32 AM I'm making Lilah sad. I feel so lame. Quote: Sunday, March 22nd, 2015
7:23 PM Back in DC now. Dropped Lilah off at Mom's and stayed for dinner. Heading over to Chris's parents' place to see Anna and Sassy and probably stay the night. Quote: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
7:27 AM On the bright side (and it's really hard to look on the bright side right now), Chris said I could start picking out things for the nursery if I wanted to. I think he only caved because of how upset I was yesterday, but I'm still kind of excited. His mom and I are gonna go out and pick up some paint samples in a little bit. I admit I have no idea how to design anything. Don't get me wrong, I love decorating the house, but usually I leave it up to Momma. She has a better eye for those sorts of things than I do. My version of decorating tends to include posters and clutter and things that look like they came straight out of a college dorm-room. Momma did most of the interior design for the house. I just told her what I liked, and she hired people to help and we bought a bunch of stuff to make it happen. Easy as that made things, I kinda don't want to hire people to do the nursery. I want to do it on my own (with Momma's help, of course). It'll keep me busy and distracted for at least a little while. Besides, I already have ideas for it. Quote: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
10:54 AM I never new Ralph Lauren made paint. Nostalgia time! Back when Chris and I first met that's pretty much all he wore. Like, legit. Ralph Lauren. Polos, khakis, and that's pretty much it. I'm pretty sure he owned a polo in every color of the rainbow. It was really sweet in a dorky sort of way. And I don't think he ever wore a pair of jeans before we started going out. Quote: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
1:49 PM Paint samples have been acquired. Momma and I also looked at carpeting and accent rugs 'cause I feel like the floor in the nursery shouldn't just be hardwood. We'll probably go with a neutral color for the walls. A cream or something. Except the one wall that's going to have wood paneling for that nautical look we're going for. My father-in-law's going to make me some nice bookcases, too. Clearly we're a family of do-it-yourselfers. Quote: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
3:35 PM While I was looking for nursery ideas online, I found a slide-show entitled “14 Ways to Decorate like a French Woman.” I feel like a bad French Woman for not knowing how to decorate in a way that isn't tacky. Quote: Monday, March 23rd, 2015
4:24 PM Now seems like an appropriate time to say, “yes, my mom and dad named me Paris after the city.” They had a quick wedding at the courthouse and then spent Dad's savings on a week-long stay in Paris (because let's be real, the honeymoon is the best part). They both loved it there. Hence, me. (Or my name, at least. Mom was already pregnant with me when they were married. Wooo shotgun weddings!) Sometimes Dad would try to pretend that I was named for the Trojan Prince instead, but who would really want to be named for that dumbass?? My middle name is Donatien. For the longest time I assumed Dad got it from the Marquis de Sade, like it was some sick joke or whatever, but it means “gift,” which is kinda nice, I guess. (Apparently there's a Saint Donatien too. Huh, who'd have thought?) I have no idea what Prune's middle name is going to be... 703

8:27 AM Does anyone think I'd be crazy for going to Florida again this weekend? It's just that it's our anniversary on Sunday and I really want to be able to celebrate with Chris. Quote: Tuesday, March 24th, 2015
9:01 AM I can't believe it's practically been two years since we were married. I know it's cliché, but it literally feels like it was only yesterday. Quote: Tuesday, March 24th, 2015
7:13 PM I'm going to Florida this weekend and no one can stop me. Quote: Wednesday, March 25th, 2015
9:17 AM OMG GUYS GUYS(And ladies. Because let's be real, most of the people who read my blog are probably ladies.) MY GIRL FRIEND RAVEN IS GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HER BABY AND PRUNE ARE GOING TO BE BEST FRIENDS I JUST KNOW IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE FOR REAL. HER BABY AND PRUNE ARE EVEN DUE AROUND THE SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!! HOW PERFECT IS THAT??????????? Quote: Wednesday, March 25th, 2015
9:39 AM Babies make me euphoric. Quote: Thursday, March 26th, 2015
8:42 AM Our next prenatal appointment is next Thursday!!!! I'm excited 'cause we should be able to hear Prune's heartbeat!!!! So much to look forward to!!!!! Quote: Thursday, March 26th, 2015
11:28 AM Between missing Chris, planning the nursery, and the exciting baby news, it completely slipped my notice that last Friday was the first day of Spring!!!! It's still a little chilly here, but every once in a while we'll have a nice day in the high 50s, or even mid-60s to low-70s! So it seems like a good time to start the gardening. Last year and the year before when we moved in I had some help with it, but this year I plan on doing it all by myself. I'm not really much for gardening when it comes to flowers. I mean, they're pretty, and we have a nice flower garden, but I'm more into gardening when it comes to fruits and vegetables. I don't like to buy my produce at the grocery store if I don't have to. I either grow my own or buy fresh produce at the farmer's market. We have our own apple trees, and raspberry and blueberry bushes. Last year I started a strawberry patch. We'll see how things turn out with that this year. I have a grape arbor, too. So we've pretty much got our fruits covered. I just have to figure out what vegetables I want to grow this year. I'm thinking I'll start the broccoli, cabbage, carrots, lettuce, onions, peas, potatoes, and spinach now, and wait until around mid-April to plant the cauliflower, corn, cucumbers, peppers, squash, and tomatoes. I'll probably see about doing a few varieties of the peppers and tomatoes this year. I already grow my own herbs indoors. I'm trying to determine whether or not I want to grow my own pumpkins and watermelons, in which case I can start those indoors in April and move them outdoors in May. Thoughts?? 456

7:34 AM Heading back to Florida to see my Pooh Bear again today~!!!! Alone this time. It'll be my first time on a plane by myself!!! Chris has no idea I'm coming. It's going to be a surprise. Quote: Friday, March 27th, 2015
8:20 AM At the airport. It's kind of lonely sitting here waiting to board the plane. Quote: Friday, March 27th, 2015
3:22 PM At the ballpark now!! Chris looks as handsome as ever!!!!!!!! Siiiiiiiigh. I love him so so so so so much. Quote: Saturday, March 28th, 2015
8:14 AM Week 11! 29 more weeks to go!! (One of these days you guys are going to get tired of my countdown. Just wait until it gets to the point where I'm counting down the days!) Prune is now Fig (or Lime, but I think Fig is cuter) and according to one of my phone apps almost fully formed!! It also says Fig may be hiccuping now that the diaphragm is forming. SO SWEET!!! Can you just imagine this cute little inch and a half long alien-tadpole-looking fetus hiccuping?? Quote: Saturday, March 28th, 2015
10:46 AM Chris was very happy about his surprise. He had an afternoon game yesterday so once it was over we went out for a nice dinner before heading back to the hotel. I'm sure you can guess how our night went, so I won't go into any details. There's another afternoon game today and tomorrow too, so we're not going to be able to do much for our anniversary, but at least we can go out and be together after. I won't be leaving until Monday. Then it's one more week before Chris is back in DC for the home opener. I'll be so relieved when he's back. I mean, even if he'll be traveling regularly for away games, it won't be as bad as the last month and a half. Quote: Saturday, March 28th, 2015
1:57 PM Real Baseball Wives of Destiny City. It's going to be a thing one day guys. Just wait and see. Quote: Sunday, March 29th, 2015
8:35 AM HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO ME AND POOH BEAR!!! <3333333 Quote: Sunday, March 29th, 2015
11:12 AM I was looking through one of my pregnancy phone apps, and it had this discussion about what songs different moms were including on their labor/birth playlists and I was, like, “GENIUS.” Now seems like a good time to admit that I would be terrified if I were the one giving birth, so I don't know how comfortable I'm going to be in the delivery room. Olivia isn't sweating it at all, but good God, how could I make another person go through that sort of pain for me??? So I'm hoping maybe some music will help when the time comes. Olivia says she had classical music and nature sounds playing when she gave birth to her daughter. We'll probably go that route. I can't imagine jamming out to the Top 40 during something like that. Quote: Monday, March 30th, 2015
9:15 AM Back to Destiny City today. Now to make it through the next week and then everything should be mostly back to normal!! Quote: Monday, March 30th, 2015
4:48 PM I keep forgetting I'm going to be graduating in May. There are literally five weeks until final exams and six weeks until graduation on Mother's Day. Teeeechnically next year was supposed to be the year I graduate, but I took summer classes every chance I got and managed to shave off an entire year! Go me!!!! 528

8:21 AM My mother-in-law is so excited for Fig. Which is completely not the case with my own mother. I think she likes to pretend it's not happening. We don't talk about it much unless I bring it up, and even then I do most of the talking. I'm fairly certain she thinks she's too young to be a grandmother, but then she was too young to be a mother when she had me, so she'll just have to learn to deal with it. Momma, on the other hand, can hardly contain herself. I'm surprised she hasn't said anything about putting together a nursery at her house yet, because I know she's going to be offering to take care of Fig a lot. We're going to have so many babysitters to choose from! Quote: Wednesday, April 1st, 2015
7:53 AM I have such an easy time calling my mother-in-law “Momma” but can't ever bring myself to call my father-in-law anything but his name, even though he's told me before it's okay to call him “Dad” if I want to. And I know it's because I have “Daddy Issues” or whatever, but I just feel kind of bad. I have the most amazing in-laws. (Except my oldest brother-in-law likes to give me a hard time, but that's okay 'cause I give him a hard time right back.) I got really lucky when I met Chris. Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
7:46 AM Second prenatal appointment later on this morning~! We get to hear Fig's heartbeat today! Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
8:52 AM Sitting in the waiting room with Olivia. I wish Chris could be here for this. I mean, I plan on face-timing him while we're in there so he can hear it, but it's just not the same. Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
9:39 AM THERE ARE TWO HEARTBEATS I REPEAT THERE ARE TWO HEARTBEATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
10:12 AM OMG OMG OMG OMG I'M FREAKING OUT I mean we knew this was a possibility BUT I DIDN'T REALLY THINK IT WOULD HAPPEN AND I ONLY MENTALLY PREPARED MYSELF FOR ONE AND NOW THERE'S TWO OF THEM and I don't know how to deal with this OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
11:26 AM OKAY BUT IS IT ALRIGHT TO BE EXCITED???? BECAUSE THE MORE I THINK ABOUT IT THE MORE EXCITED I AM I JUST TWO!!! TWO!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote: Thursday, April 2nd, 2015
12:43 PM Okay, okay, calm down. Deep breaths. Aside from listening to the babies' (still getting used to the plural!!!) heartbeats, we also got to see them!! They're really, really small and don't look like much right now, but they're growing good and the doc says everything looks okay. Our next appointment won't be for another four weeks but the doc said they'll do another sonogram. We'll also have an amniocentesis then too. We won't know if they're boys, girls, or one of each for a while. Not our next appointment, but the one after that. So we've still got two months until Fig A and Fig B have names.

7:54 AM I'm still trying to process the fact that there are two babies. Chris and I spent all of yesterday freaking out over face-time. But the more I think about it, the more excited I am. At this point, I think Chris is more nervous about it than I am. Quote: Saturday, April 4th, 2015
8:09 AM Week 12!! Only 28 more weeks to go!! (Although I have been advised that it will probably be less, given that twins rarely make it to 40 weeks.) The Figs are now Plums. I can't get over using the plural, guys. I just can't. Quote: Saturday, April 4th, 2015
11:13 AM GUESS WHO COMES HOME TONIGHT!!!!! I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!! He won't be coming in until late and I will probably have fallen asleep by then BUT I DON'T CARE MY POOH BEAR IS COMING HOME!!!!!! I'll get to wake up and see his handsome face!!!! Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
7:25 AM HAPPY EASTER!!!!!!! I hope everyone has a wonderful day full of chocolate. Chris is home and I couldn't be happier. He's my very special Easter present! Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
8:27 AM I'm so bad, sitting in church and all I can think of is zombie Jesus. Sorry! #blessed Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
9:12 AM I like holidays because they give me an excuse to dress up all pretty without looking like I'm trying too hard. Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
12:03 PM So Chris and I told our parents over brunch that we're having twins. Of course Chris's mom is overjoyed. His dad just kinda rolls with everything and occasionally has a word of advice. My mom drowned her youth in a few too many mimosas. Sorry, Mom. Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
2:31 PM All day today, between church and brunch and taking Lilah on an Easter egg hunt, Chris and I have seen so many little kids all dressed up in their cute Easter clothes with their parents, and I can't help but think about how that's going to be us at this time next year. The twins will be almost six months old! God, it's so crazy thinking about how different things will be a year from now. Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
3:53 PM Guys, think about all the “My First...” outfits I get to buy this year!!! “My First Halloween” and “My First Thanksgiving” and “My first Christmas.” Quote: Sunday, April 5th, 2015
4:22 PM Sometimes when we see little kids Chris'll just take my hand and smile at me and I know he's excited too, he just doesn't want to admit it. Quote: Monday, April 6th, 2015
9:13 AM It's Opening Day for Destiny City baseball!! Guess which young, hunky pitcher gets to start the game today?? Quote: Monday, April 6th, 2015
7:24 PM And that's a win for Destiny City!! I'm so proud of Chris!!!! Quote: Monday, April 6th, 2015
9:35 PM I've been so distracted recently I almost forgot that as of today it's been three years since my dad died. I still miss him so, so much. Quote: Tuesday, April 7th, 2015
7:38 AM How do I balance school, dance, and being a baseball wife and mother-to-be?? Magic! Just kidding. I'm just constantly busy, but I love it! I'd be so bored with nothing to do! Quote: Tuesday, April 7th, 2015
8:52 AM I now have four different baby phone apps. It's really interesting to read all the different things. (And funny to see what sort of fruit or veggie they're comparing Baby to each week.) Today I learned that the Plums' ears won't be fully formed until 24 weeks, so I suppose we'll hold off on the Beethoven and Mozart until then. I wish the apps talked more about having twins though. Sigh. 537

1:21 PM Today I learned an amnio can tell the baby's sex even before we go in for the anatomy ultrasound. We are not necessarily at a high risk for chromosomal abnormalities, but since we used donated eggs I want to make absolutely sure, so I requested that it be done. Not that we wouldn't keep the babies if it turned out something was wrong, I just would like to know ahead of time so I can prepare myself. So now we come to the question of whether or not we want to go ahead and learn the babies' sexes. A part of me wants to, and another part of me wants to wait a little longer because I don't want to be wrong. I mean, look at me. They said I was a boy, and that turned out to not be the case at all. Quote: Wednesday, April 8th, 2015
3:34 PM But, like... chances are I'm stressing over this unnecessarily. Statistically speaking we're far more likely to have a child whose gender is assigned correctly than the situation my parents had with me. (And if it turned out we did have that situation, Chris and I are clearly better equipped to handle it than my parents were, so we're likely to have pretty well-adjusted kids either way.) I'm just so conflicted. But I can't deny that there's a part of me that wants one of those stupid gender reveal parties. Quote: Thursday, April 9th, 2015
8:17 AM Okay, I really need to stop stressing out about this, otherwise I'm going to drive myself crazy. I wish Chris had a better answer for me, but he's conflicted because I'm conflicted, and everything just keeps circling back around to the guilt and the uncertainty. Damn you, upcoming amnio. If it wasn't for you, I could have put this off until a later appointment. Quote: Saturday, April 11th, 2015
9:12 AM Week 13! Roughly 27 more weeks to go! (Again, it's likely to be sooner, but for the sake of the countdown we'll just keep going with the traditional 40 weeks.) Our Plums are now Peaches! We are about a week away from reaching the second trimester! SO EXCITING!! It should be noted that Olivia is already showing. It's so cute. I'm insanely jealous. (Because, let's be real, I would look ******** adorable if it was me. Alas...) Quote: Sunday, April 12th, 2015
10:10 AM Chris and I are talking baby names and I start to wonder if we should stick with names that are gender neutral. Uggggghhhhhh, the guilt and indecisiveness are never ending. And this is coming from someone who is usually pretty decisive. Quote: Sunday, April 12th, 2015
2:13 PM Every time I click on an article or activity in one of my baby apps in pops up with an ad about storing cord blood. IS THAT A THING WE SHOULD DO?????? THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS PLZ! Quote: Monday, April 13th, 2015
10:26 AM Apparently I've gained ten pounds since February. It must be the sympathy weight starting early. I am not really upset about this if it ever results in bigger boobs... 480

9:21 AM I'm really enjoying this hot weather. It means I can break out the shorts earlier than usual. My mother-in-law and I are planning a trip to the beach, just the two of us. (Chris obviously can't go because he has work, so we just decided to make it a girl's thing.) The water will still be too cold for any swimming, but it'll be nice to sit out on the beach and drink margaritas. You know, since I'm able to now. Quote: Saturday, April 18th, 2015
8:13 AM Week 14! 26 weeks to go! Our Peaches are now Lemons. According to my phone apps, the babies can now squint, frown, grimace, pee (ew), and suck their thumbs! So sweet! Quote: Sunday, April 19th, 2015
8:31 AM Today marks the beginning of the second trimester!! How exciting is that??? Quote: Monday, April 20th, 2015
9:22 AM I'm still really conflicted about the whole gender thing. I've been talking about it with Chris, I've been talking about it with my therapist, I've been talking about it with Olivia, I've been talking about it with Momma, and I've been talking about it with my mom (when she can make herself listen), and I still haven't come to much of a concrete decision. Quote: Monday, April 20th, 2015
1:03 PM I am a failure. Quote: Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
11:42 AM Today I read a really interesting article about sex while pregnant, which obviously doesn't apply to Chris and I, but it was still an informative read. Quote: Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
12:51 PM I kind of wouldn't mind a nature inspired name for a little girl. Something like Ivy or Lily or Willow. Or River! Summer's okay, too, but I grew up with a few Summers in my elementary school classes and they were all kind of snotty. Meadow. Nah, too much like Meadowview. Aurora. I like the name Aurora, but I don't think Chris would like naming a girl after a character in my favorite ballet. At least not for the first one. Maybe by the time we have another I can convince him. Quote: Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
1:12 PM Look at me already planning on another when the first two aren't even born yet. Quote: Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
2:07 PM Rose. Fern? Fern is pretty. So is Fawn! Quote: Tuesday, April 21st, 2015
2:32 PM I actually kind of like the name Marlow for a girl. Or Harlow... Henry and Harlow... This is me assuming one of them will be a boy. And also assuming one of them will be a girl. Quote: Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015
10:18 AM Royal baby watch 2.0. My gut says it's going to be a girl. Who wants to place some bets??? Quote: Wednesday, April 22nd, 2015
4:23 PM Chilling on the beach with my mother-in-law, drinking pina coladas and margaritas and generally being fabulous. Quote: Thursday, April 23rd, 2015
9:24 AM As a show of support, I'm going to all of Olivia's baby exercise classes, and then when it comes time for the labor and delivery classes I'll go to those too, even if I don't think I'm going to be much help when the time comes. Quote: Friday, April 24th, 2015
8:41 AM “Will you find out the sex of your baby?” I don't know, phone app, that seems to be the big question these days. I know I'd rather find out before hand rather than wait until the birth, I just... don't know exactly when I want to hear the news, or how I want to proceed from there. 555

10:13 AM Today I learned that breast milk ice-cream is a thing. I am oddly curious... Quote: Monday, April 27th, 2015
8:32 AM One of my pregnancy apps has this checklist of things you should do each day to prepare for baby. Today's checklist item is “do something nice for yourself,” so I think I'm going to go get my nails done and then do a little shopping. Quote: Tuesday, April 28th, 2015
9:43 AM My phone apps also talk a lot about going on a babymoon. Sadly, Chris and I can't do this because of his schedule for the rest of the year before the babies are due. There's just not enough time for us to take a babymoon before mid-September to mid-October, as much as I would like to. Quote: Wednesday, April 29th, 2015
8:51 AM I just realized... TWO MORE WEEKS UNTIL GRADUATION! I AM SO STOKED! Quote: Thursday, April 30th, 2015
9:11 AM Part of posting about my life online means I get a lot of crap from people. I don't bring attention to it much because I don't see much of a point, but it happens. Either I don't say or do the right thing, or I don't talk about the things people think I should talk about. But the thing is, my life is my business. If I don't want to share parts of it with you, why should I feel pressured to? I'm not obligated to. Unfortunately, some people get mean about it. They think they know so much about my life from the snippets they get to see, but the truth is they don't know anything at all. So the next time you feel like sending a rude message, or the next time you feel like talking s**t about someone, don't. Especially where anyone can see it. You're the one who ends up looking like a fool. Quote: Friday, May 1st, 2015
10:47 AM I really am still kind of bummed about having to cut my hair. You guys just don't understand. My long hair was just... me. I always wanted long hair, and I had it and I took such good care of it and I loved it so much and then it was damaged and I didn't really have any choice but to cut it off. If you know anything about me by now, know that I don't like not having a choice. When I was little I had to compromise with my parents about my hair. I didn't like it short, but they (mostly my dad) didn't want me growing it out too long, probably because they thought I'd get picked on at school or something, but whatever. So for most of my childhood and up through my early teenage years my hairstyle looked a lot like Shirley Temple, which was about the best I could do before my mom took off when I was ten and my dad stopped giving me a hard time about it when I was around sixteen. Don't get me wrong, I looked ******** adorable, but I still didn't like my hair too much, and my hair was always a big thing when it came to liking the way I looked. I was fine with it when I was, like, five, but not so fine with it once I hit the puberty years. Now I'm just... ugh. I could cry. Quote: Friday, May 1st, 2015
10:59 AM I'm not the only vain one in this family when it comes to hair. Chris is just as bad. 595

4:17 PM I would go to see the Avengers but I want to see it with Chris and finding time to go see movies with his schedule is so difficult. :< Siiiiiiiigh. #baseballwifeproblems Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
8:14 AM Week 16! 24 mores weeks to go! That's 169 more days! Our Apples are now Avocados (not a cute name at all, but whatever). Our next prenatal appointment is on Monday. We'll get to see the babies again. I'm so excited! Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
10:08 AM IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!! Not mine and Chris's. Will and Kate's. Chris and I still don't know what we're having. razz I should have been placing some serious bets, man. My gut was telling me all along that it was going to be a girl. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
10:33 AM What is my gut telling me about the twins? At least one of them is a boy. Or maybe that's just me and my wishful thinking. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
10:56 AM But in all seriousness, Will and Kate, don't name the baby Elizabeth. My vote is Diana or Alexandra. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
11:12 AM Omg Prince George is so cute I just want to pinch those chubby cheeks ugh. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
1:16 PM Even though the amnio will be able to tell as the babies' sexes, Chris and I have decided that we're going to wait a little while to hear what they are. It won't be long, I promise. His family is having a big get together at my in-laws' place over Memorial Day weekend, so we're going to do the whole gender reveal thing then with silly colored cakes and everything. I'm letting Olivia put it all together so the whole family can be surprised. My mother-in-law is practically begging to help, but I know part of the reason is because she wants to know ahead of time. If she was better at keeping her emotions to herself I'd be fine with it, but I know I'll be able to look her in the face and figure it out, especially if there's a little girl involved. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
3:18 PM So far I'm still leaning toward a Lexus as far as cars go. It'll be a lot pricier than my bug was (and to be honest a little more pricey than old me would have been comfortable with), but that's only because Chris insists I should get every option and package available. The only thing I was really going to add on would have been the navigation system and then the entertainment system for the kids, but Chris is like, “No, you need this and this and this. And this because I don't trust other drivers. Of course I don't think you're a bad driver, it's everyone else who doesn't know how to drive.” Typical Chris. Quote: Saturday, May 2nd, 2015
3:41 PM I do still try and see how far I can push things, though, just for funsies. A Lexus is okay. So is a Porsche, a BMW, and a Mercedes Benz, but a Maserati or a Ferrari are no goes. Not that I would really want to cart the twins around in a Maserati or a Ferrari, I just wanted to see what Chris would say. 548

9:03 AM Our phone app tip of the day is to do some financial planning. Chris and I are fortunate that finances are not a problem. Aside from the money in his trust fund, his contract with the Comets isn't exactly minuscule, and it'll likely only get better if he keeps playing the way he has been. But we do want to set up separate accounts for the babies, just as a way to save money for their futures. I'm not entirely sure if they're going to be trust fund babies. I suppose that's something for Chris and I to figure out, but I want to have everything sorted out so neither of them have to worry about anything if something happens to either me or Chris. Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
7:07 AM May the fourth be with you!! Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
8:33 AM Our next prenatal appointment is this morning~! I'm so excited~! Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
9:51 AM Sitting impatiently in the waiting room with Olivia. I can't wait to see the babies! Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
11:34 AM Appointment over. Amnio done. We should have the results in about a week or two. On the way to lunch with Olivia and my mother-in-law now. Will write more later. Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
4:45 PM Now that I'm settled in at home and no longer on my phone, I can write a little more about the appointment. Everything went great. Olivia's doing wonderfully and both the babies are fantastic. We got to see them again and they were moving around all over the place. Olivia says she can feel them already. I'm super jealous. We won't be able to feel them externally for a while yet, but just being able to see them again was amazing. They're noticeably bigger than they were last time and more recognizable than the little beans they used to look like. I'm just so in love with them already and they're not even born yet. I can't wait to feel them kicking. I can't wait to hold them and feed them and change their gross diapers. WHICH, speaking off, I've started ordering. Cloth diapers are pretty pricey, especially with two babies, but theoretically they'll be more affordable in the long run compared to buying all the disposables (and, as Chris would like to remind everyone, they're better for the environment). After the appointment we met my mother-in-law for lunch, and then after lunch me, my mother-in-law, and Olivia went out shopping and I picked up some stuff for the babies. None of the big things yet. So no cribs and toys and not too many decorations for the nursery until we find out if were having boys, girls, or one of each, but I did get a diaper pail, a changing table, and a double stroller. Once I get my new car we'll get the carseats and go ahead and install them, just so that's one less thing to worry about when the time comes. Now, having twins, there's going to be some things we need double of, but do we need a changing table for each of them or just one and then change them one at a time? The same goes for infant bathtubs. One or two? I kind of feel like one of those things would be okay because with Chris traveling a lot I'm going to be the one home with the babies most of the time, and I can only do one at a time anyway, but I don't know. Any advice? This is where I need to start reaching out to moms with twins. Quote: Monday, May 4th, 2015
5:10 PM Okay, Will and Kate, I guess Charlotte is a nice name. Actually, it's kind of really cute for a little girl. Everyone's going to start naming their little girls Charlotte now. 607

9:23 AM Binge watching Say Yes to the Dress and I'm thinking of mine and Chris's wedding and the things I might do differently if we were getting married today instead of two years ago. Don't get me wrong, there isn't really anything I regret about our wedding. It was perfect just the way it was. But I know if I was more comfortable with myself at the time, there are things that would have been different about it. I don't think I would have been so restrained. We probably would have had a bigger ceremony with more people there, and we probably wouldn't have had it at the courthouse. I was just... I don't know, focused more on the being married part instead of on the wedding, but when I look back on it all now I don't think I would have minded if the wedding was a little more involved than it was. Who knows, maybe when we hit our five year anniversary, Chris and I will have a nice vow renewal ceremony and we'll pull out all the stops and I'll wear a bangin' dress and we'll experience what our wedding could have been like if we both weren't so impatient to get it over with. Quote: Wednesday, May 6th, 2015
8:14 AM I really wish my pregnancy phone apps included more things that applied to me. There's been very little about having twins and absolutely nothing on surrogacy. I guess we've come to the point where I need to stop by the bookstore and do some actual reading. Quote: Wednesday, May 6th, 2015
10:02 AM But, guys, I really don't like to read. Ugh. Quote: Wednesday, May 6th, 2015
12:13 PM This week is the week of final exams. I don't have many since most of my credits this semester came from my apprenticeship with DCBC. But I'm really excited to be done with college. It was a great experience and I'm glad I did it, but I'm ready to get on with my career. Let's be real, if I hadn't gone to college I'd probably be at least a soloist by now. Quote: Wednesday, May 6th, 2015
2:13 PM I'm graduating with honors, guys. This is really weird. I dropped out of high school with terrible grades and worked my a** off to get my GED, and now I'm graduating with honors. BE PROUD OF ME GUYS I'M SO PROUD OF MYSELF Quote: Thursday, May 7th, 2015
7:43 AM Graduation is on Sunday, which also happens to be Mother's Day, which is great because I didn't know what to get my mother, so she gets to see me walk at graduation instead. (Otherwise I wouldn't have walked, because is there really any point to it? I don't think so.) Quote: Thursday, May 7th, 2015
9:22 AM I'm bedazzling the hell out of my graduation cap and gluing a big a** pink bow onto it. It looks lovely with the silver tassel. Quote: Friday, May 8th, 2015
8:16 AM Speaking of Mother's Day, do I get to celebrate even if I'm not really a mommy yet? I mean, technically I am. I have babies, they're just not born yet. Quote: Saturday, May 9th, 2015
7:56 AM Week 17! 23 more weeks to go! It's happening so fast, guys! Soon the “more weeks to go” will be less than the weeks that have already passed! Our Avocados are now Turnips. Not cute names at all. But once Memorial Day comes and goes, we'll know what we're having and the babies will have legit names. Chris and I are already working on picking them out. 549

10:04 AM Chris bought me roses for Mother's Day/graduation. Blue roses, my favorite. (Okay, so they're just white roses that've been dyed, but whatever, they're still the most beautiful things, and one day science is going to make them real.) Instead of trying and failing to make me breakfast in bed like he said he wanted to, he took me, Olivia, my mother, and my mother-in-law out to breakfast. What a sweetie!

4:34 PM AND I AM OFFICIALLY GRADUATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have cried a little bit. Shhhh, don't tell anyone. I did not, however, throw my cap. I put some serious work into bedazzling the s**t out of that thing. I wasn't about the throw it and have it be lost or ruined in the crowd. Quote: Monday, May 11th, 2015
7:47 AM So people ask me a lot what Chris and I are planning to name the babies and I haven't really been able to talk about it because we've been busy going back and forth and arguing about stupid things. (Like, he doesn't want to name one of the babies River. I weep. I tried to get Harlow to fly for a little girl but he said Harlow Gallo sounds weird. I don't think so, but whatever. He nixed it. Moving on.) We have finally succeeded in picking out four potential names that we each like, but one of the names Chris and I have picked out for a girl happens to be on the Social Security Administration's list of most popular names in 2014. sad We picked it 'cause it's a family name. We figured since we'd use a family name for at least one of them if they were a boy, we should do the same for a girl. So here's what we have. If we have two boys they'll be: Henry Miles, after my dad and Chris's maternal grandfather; and James Oliver, after Chris's paternal grandfather and Olivia. If we have two girls they'll be: Abigail Olivia, after Chris's paternal grandmother and Olivia; and AnneMarie Rose, after both out moms (their middle names) and Chris's maternal grandmother. If we have one of each they'll be Henry Miles and Abigail Olivia. THERE NOW YOU KNOW. Henry is not in the top ten. Abigail is number 8. Our poor Abby would have a million other Abigails in her classes. sad Damn, James is number 9 for boys and Olivia is number 2 for girls. And here we thought we were being original picking “older” names. Quote: Tuesday, May 12th, 2015
7:23 AM Now that I no longer have school to worry about it's time to dance my a** off before I go on maternity leave whenever the babies are born. smile Not that I wasn't dancing my a** off before. Honestly, though, I don't know what I'm going to do after the babies are born. I love dancing so much, but I don't know if I'm going to be able to leave them. Plus, Chris and I have such weird schedules and we both get home so late at night... 591

7:43 AM This does not, however, mean I'm being lazy. Dance, dance, dance all day long! I love it! Quote: Friday, May 15th, 2015
7:32 AM But I still question how I'm going to feel being on maternity leave and then having to go back after it's over. Chris and I have discussed options from a nanny to an au pair, but... I don't really like any of them. Sigh. More decisions. Quote: Saturday, May 16th, 2015
7:12 AM Week 18! 22 more weeks to go! Our turnips are now bell peppers/sweet potatoes. Not cute at all. I can't wait until we can start calling them by their names. Quote: Saturday, May 16th, 2015
9:31 PM I realize I'm running out of things to write about. There's just not been a lot going on lately. Quote: Sunday, May 17th, 2015
2:12 AM I take that back. Olivia's in the hospital. Nothing serious. She fainted on her way home, and the doctor's assure us the babies are fine, but they're keeping her overnight just in case. Quote: Monday, May 18th, 2015
7:27 AM I'm friends with other moms on Facebook and I've noticed a trend in getting professional pregnancy photos. You know, like people do with engagement photos and wedding photos. I'm not sure if this is something I want to do or not. I mean, it'd be nice and all, but I kind of prefer candid photos to posed ones. Like, look at this forced photo of my husband standing behind me with his hands on my belly while I look serenely into the camera. I've never been pregnant, but I can assure you pregnancy is not like that. Quote: Tuesday, May 19th, 2015
7:46 AM As cute as I'd look with a baby bump, I have to say Olivia is absolutely adorable. She says she can feel the babies moving all the time now. Siiiiiiigh. I wish I could feel them. Quote: Wednesday, May 20th, 2015
7:28 AM The nursery is almost done. Paint's done and the built-ins are in. Now it's just a matter of getting furniture. Most of what we have now is neutral to fit boys or girls, but I'm holding off on the cribs until we find out what we're having in case I want to do something a little different than having matching ones. Quote: Thursday, May 21st, 2015
7:39 AM Oh, yeah, and I talked to Chris about the mountain cabin/beach house idea and he seems pretty okay with it since it means he can design them himself. They probably won't be done by the time the babies are born since our schedules are packed, but hopefully soon after we'll have our nice, peaceful getaways. Quote: Friday, May 22nd, 2015
7:13 AM It's getting closer and closer to that time where we find out what we're having. I keep looking at Olivia trying to see if she'll give away any signs, but she's been good about keeping the secret. I'm really impressed, because I doubt I'd be able to do that. No one should ever trust me with their gender reveal. Quote: Saturday, May 23rd, 2015
