DONE!

Everyone I have talked to about blogging they tell me they use it basically as a journal. Well I am horrible at blogging and that could be because I am so busy with twins and school that when I have time the last thing I want to do is blog. Well today I am using this post as a blog as a journal, maybe it will help my frustration.

Do you ever feel you are the only one that tries? Well I feel that every day. I feel that I try with everyone and they never try back. I feel I am always the one to make the plans and invite myself over. When I saw something about it bugging me, the reponse always ends up being "You always know you are invited." Well if I always knew I was invited then why the heck does it bug me so bad? Plus it is nice to know you are wanted every once in awhile. I just wish that people would make more of an effort to have a relationship. You know that saying " The door swings both ways"? Yeah well for me it only swings one way and I am about to just close it all together.

Maybe I shouldn't care so much, but I do. From now on I am not going to care, and putting my efforts else where. If people want me around then they can start to put more of the effort into making that happen. If the don't want too, then that is their loss.

PS People I am also sick of the excuse that you are so busy. Well you know what? I am busy too, but I seem to find the time to make it happen, so why can't you? I feel that if it is important to you then you will make it work and make it happen. Well there it is my venting. If this offends someone then you are probably one of those people that doesn't try..... I'm just saying.

Bragging rights!

I never blog and when I do it's usually short and sweet and to the point about my kids. Well I think I deserve to brag a little about me and my kids.

First I want to brag about my weight after having twins. Before I got pregnant I lost about 10 pounds (this wasn't an easy task to accomplish.) After we found out I was pregnant I lost even more just because I was so sick the entire time. I think my ending weight before I had the twins was 154. The second I pushed those babies out I lost 14 pounds. Then of course breastfeeding helped me lose even more. Since stopping breastfeeding I have only put on about 6 pounds. I am trying hard to keep things off, but it's been challenging. I exersice when I can, and I am eating better. Of couse I have the I just had a baby body. Things for sure aren't tight and flat, but I feel good about myself. I like the way I look because my little body gave me two of the most amazing things anyone go ask for. I didn't get very bad stretch marks either which I was fortunate about. All in all I was lucky.

Next bragging right;

While being pregnant I threw up every day up until the day I had them. I was so sick, but still worked everyday (unless of course I couldn't keep anything down.) I went into premature labor twice and spend 2 holidays in the hospital. I had my babies 5 weeks early, and they were in the NICU for almost 3 weeks and they came home on oxygen and monitors. I have/had zero help, so in other words Travis and I have done this on our own. I think that in itself deserves an award.

Next bragging right (about my kids)

I have to say I have some of the most amazing kids. They are truly the best babies. They started sleeping through the night at 2 months, of course they have their nights, but even adults have those. They are the happiest smiliest babies ever. They only cry when they are hungry or overly tired. When I put them down for naps they go straight to bed. Sometimes, they need a little more help, but they are babies what do we expect? They play so well and can pretty much entertain themselves for the most part. They are so gabby and love to talk and squeel. They are currently teething right now, and I must say they are handling it so well. It's unbelievable.

I think that is all the bragging I will do for now. Here are some pictures of the boys.

Fun new things.

I have to apologize for the delays on blogging. Between being a full time mom, a full time student, and working a few hours a week life gets pretty crazy.

New things that have been going on in our lives:

-The boys are eating more solids. They've tried Sweet Potatoes, Carrots, and Squash.
(this is so fun to try new things with them.)
-We got a bigger and very nice car.
(this can fit our whole family comfortably.)
-Korbin broke his first tooth.
(Zander is so close I can feel it.)
-Travis's first Father's Day.

Those are just a few things.

6 months

Zander and Korbin are 6 months on Friday. I can't believe how time has flown. I have looked back at their pictures from when they were born and in the NICU and how small they were. I still can't believe they were only 4 lbs when they were born and now they are probably 15-17 lbs. As they get older things have gotten harder, but easier at the same time. Harder because they aren't as mobile because you need to make sure they stay on a schedule with naps. Easy is once I put them in the crib they usually fall right to sleep. Every once in awhile I need to go in there and put the paci back in their mouth.

Zander has been rolling over and has been for about a month or so. Korbin is so close and will get it anytime now. It's so cute to watch him try if he is next to Zander he will use Zander to help him. Zander is so ready to start crawling. He gets so frustrated because he just wants to get up and go. They are both so strong and are so smiliy and giggly. They started rice cereal, Zander loves it Korbin hates it. I love seeing all their milestones.

Korbin was laughing...It was so cute.
