What’s new around here? Well things have been busy and strangely enough this week I feel like I have just been hit with a truck. Not that unusual but it’s been worse than normal so hmmm wondering what’s going on.
Anyway, I updated on facebook but forgot to tell the result of my last dr’s appointments and tests so here we go. The ultrasound went great. Baby boy A is the way he always is, head down low and still on my right. Baby girl B is breech which means that she is bottom down and head up. She is a troublemaker already always stealing her brother’s space heehee. (Sounds like she’ll be just like Maddy!)
Diabetes came back NORMAL!!! 6.1 YAY! There was some sugar in my u.r.i.n.e. but I wasn’t feeling well at all that morning so that could explain it. We will just keep watching and if it happens again I might need to re-take the test. Last time I was borderline and so I chose to monitor and correct any issues through diet voluntarily. I really hope I stay clear of it this time, not only was that not fun but the lady at the diabetes clinic I reported to was a real drill seargent, she was brutal. Even one high number in a month and she was lecturing me. Seriously woman you should see what I eat when I’m not pregnant, your healthy little world would just explode LOL! It’s a good thing I crave healthy stuff while I’m preggo.
My blood pressure is creeping up a bit, the lower number I guess, so that is just something to watch, nothing too bad at this point.
Doc gave me a prescription (just in case I needed it) for massage/ physiotherapy for my back. He said that may be what I need to help my problems. He also said that the cramps that I am having are Braxton Hicks and as long as they aren't registering as contractions and my cervix is fine at my ultrasound they're normal, especially for having 2 babies stretching my belly.
I have gained the usual, about a pound per week. Not too bad for 2 they say.
I have another appointment Monday the 29th so I will update then again.

Online Shopping ;)
So lately I have become an ebay buying junky, or online buying at least, cuz ya know I can’t forget Etsy too. Oh how I love Etsy!!!! I showed you the new backup bunny I got off ebay so let’s now show off some of my other purchases, just for fun. Here’s a gooder…it’s a maternity belt, VERY s.e.x.y. LOL!!!!
Seriously I have only worn it about 2 times cuz it’s not that great when I sit all day (the babies are really really low) but if I need to go out and shop and stuff it will help a teensy bit and hey we all know being too s.e.x.y. is what got us into this situation isn’t it?! ROFLMBO!!! SOOOOOO KIDDING!!!
I also got this baby from ebay a few weeks ago!
It's the Skip Hop Duo Double and it's a diaper bag made just for twins! I am so happy cuz EVERY Canadian online store I checked was out of it and it was really irritating me. So I did get a bit of a deal through ebay and the seller also threw in a few other nice things too so that was a plus. :) When I told my hubby that it had 16 pockets we was like…yeah so what. HELLO?! 16 pockets, a multiple mother’s dream! He was also rather amused that it was taking me so long to decide the night I bid on it , I told him I am not deciding I am looking in every canadian online store before putting my ebay bid higher to make sure I don’t pay too much for it. That WAS true but he also knows me well, I tend to have a hard time deciding on things and if you don’t think that could be possible look over some of my posts. ROFLMBO!!! Poor poor man.
And lately I have had the hankering to try my hand at making silver stamped jewelry. I haven’t really broken down and purchased all of the supplies (because they are quite expensive) but I did buy some and can’t wait to try them out for myself! I had a great idea for a little Etsy business (actually 2) and even though stamped jewelry is quite popular nowdays this little idea is something I couldn’t find when looking for something myself and I think it’s quite cute unique and clever. Now my only problem is execution and finding the time heehee. Since I’m a slow mover I wouldn’t want to tell you all and have you make it before I could so it’s stayin a secret for now. Yeah cuz the whole world reads my blog and steals my craft ideas! ROFLMBO!!!
Ok what else? I still need to buy a couple new nursing bras. I found the ones I bought here locally (like $115 or something crazy like that for one) online for like half to two thirds that price so I am definitely going to be ordering 2 of those for when the babies come. I’ll spare you the pic though HAHAHAHAHA!!! Well it wasn’t me modeling it anyway but ya know between the belt and then the bra I thought that may be a bit over the top.

Miscellaneous
So why is it that this time (and last) all the weight goes right to my face and other places it shouldn't. Ugh. Seriously I feel like I look ok in the mirror but when I see pictures of myself I realize that my face looks awful! I can deal with the belly but it would be nice to at least look somewhat attractive, just with a cute belly KWIM? UGH! I know there are other things to think and worry about but it's still hard not to get depressed by how you look. On top of it all I am outgrowing all of my maternity clothes from last time, I can't really get any ones bigger, even in the city 1 1/2 hours away from me. I don't know what I will be wearing in a month or so but it definitely won't be what I am wearing now. Ahhh the joys of pregnancy.
I am 27 weeks today and yay for getting this far, guess I should just concentrate on that good news and the babies awesome weights!
I got my computer back, they really didn't say much except that it was fine but windows needed to be reinstalled. Uhhh yeah I know I tried multiple times and it wouldn't work! Whatever! So $126 later it's home and I am hoping to get it somewhat set up today so I can edit and post some pics from the recent birthdays etc. So that means there will be lots of posts with pictures to catch up on soon! Yay!
I will finish off with Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband and dad!!!! I hope your days are filled with love and family!

Kelsey turns 11! WOW!
Wow I can’t believe that my oldest is 11. Kelsey is sure growing up. I don’t usually post much about her since she’s older and I wouldn’t want to embarrass her if she or her friends stumbled across this blog but since it’s her birthday I will throw that out the window for today. Heehee. ;)
There are so many things about Kelsey that I don’t want to forget. She is quite the character. ;) We are always telling her that she is weird, her retort…if I wasn’t weird I wouldn’t be me. Heehee, so so true!
For more than a year now she has been wearing different colored socks on each foot. I don’t know why, she says she likes it but I also think she figured out it takes less time to put the socks away if you don’t match them and less time getting ready if you don’t look for matched ones. That doesn’t sound like Kelsey at all. ;) She also has quite the unique sense of fashion. Many times we have to ask her to change before we leave the house. It’s not that she’s dressed badly in the traditional sense of things but that she mixes and matches things that don’t go together. Stripes and polka dots and plaid and camo all in one outfit LOL…again if she weren’t weird she wouldn’t be Kelsey and she’s so right. :)
Kelsey is also a lot like me at that age in that she talks……a lot! It is always an issue in class as it was always an issue for me so I guess she comes by it honestly. (I have to say now…I’m, so sorry mom and dad LOL!) I think it’s because of this chattering that she excels in Language arts and spelling too.
Kelsey is also a very talented artist! She can draw like nobodies business! Seriously! We are trying to encourage her to become a graphic designer for her future. I wish I could draw like that! She is always showing us her newest pictures and I am just amazed by how good she is, there is definitely natural talent there. She also loves to do any kind of arts and crafts too. A girl after momma’s heart.
Another thing that I think shows Kelsey’s true heart is that even on non special occasions you may find a note put on your pillow with a “present” on it (usually one of her stuffies) just saying how much she loves you. She’s such a sweetie at heart, even though these pre teen and teen years can be tough, that little bit of her is always still there. She has done this for as long as I can remember and it always makes me smile.
Kelsey is an AWESOME big sister! And if you can’t take our word for it Maddy’s actions speak louder than words. The first person to get a laugh from Mads was Kelsey, the first person to get a smile from her was Kelsey and on and on. There is a bond there like no other and it is sooooo awesome to see. Maddy sure thinks the world of her big sissy already and I just know she will in the future too!
When talking to Kelsey’s principal one day I heard something that made me quite happy. She complimented Kelsey on how she owned up to her part in any issues. Saying that she was quick to take ownership of her faults and actions when the issue warranted it. That was such a nice compliment to know that Kelsey had been listening and acting as we had taught her all these years. Again it just goes to show the true heart of this little one (ok not really little but you know what I mean) she really truly cares and is so very genuine.
And as much as I love my big girl Kelsey I miss the little girl Kelsey too. The one that was such a happy little thing. The one who at 2 would go up to other kids at the video store and hug and kiss them. The one who when she got excited before she could really talk would make a sound like dooga-dooga-dooga. (Just like Maddy’s flailing arms man, my weird girls LOL!) I miss the sweet cuddles and kisses and hilarious remarks that she used to make (although she still makes those). And even though I miss all those things I now have a beautiful, sweet, genuine and caring growing girl who has taken her place to love as well and that is wonderful too! Happy 11th birthday Kelsey! We love you SO much!

More Computer Woes
So I tried re installing XP last night and it seemed like it was, then after 2 hours it said it was done and yet again...Error Loading Operating System ugh! So I guess I will be without a real computer for a bit. At least I have my netbook (YAY for that little gem!) but no photo editing capability again so rather than post Maddy's birthday recap without pictures I will just wait til I am back up and running again. Which is hopefully sooner than later. ;) Shed a tear for me folks LOL!

Computer Woes :(
Ugh so my computer woes continue to plague me. Sometime last week this beloved box of mine started acting up. I tried all night to fix it and when I couldn’t I gave up and turned it off. When I came home from work the next night and turned it on I was so happy to see it back to life, alas that was short lived! I am so sad that it’s not working right. At least I have my netbook or I would go crazy but even it has been having troubles. Weird huh?
It seems (seemed) as though everytime I tried to fix either one using a system restore point that Windows would run an update and the problems would magically reappear. I am thinking that this is what caused the problem to begin with. Now my netbook seems fixed (thank goodness) but not my beloved big ole box.
Without photoshop I can’t edit my girlies 1st birthday pictures or do any layouts. I tried to see if I could do a repair install of XP and no go. That is not an option when I put the XP disk in. Then it seemed to come up saying something about a bad partition, I can’t remember. I googled it and it wasn’t good. And the newest thing…well it just starts up to a black screen that says it can’t load the operating system.
I am thinking I have to do a complete install of XP and lose everything. Now, everything extremely important is backed up thank goodness (!!!!!) but that still leaves me without my favorites (which is a huge list and will never be the same again), all my photoshop settings etc will be put back to square one, (NOOOOOO!!!) not to mention my other programs and all my software will have to be reloaded…one by one. UGH! And I am hoping that this fixes the problem. If it doesn’t, well I don’t even want to think about that cuz I will cry. Hopefully I can edit the photos some other way and also hopefully I can get the computer to work by reformatting and reinstalling XP. Here’s to hoping. ;)

Happy 1st Birthday Madison!!!
Miss Maddy is a whole one year old today. I just can’t believe it. What a precious, sweet, mischievous, troublemaker, beautiful, smart, wonderful little girl! We are trying to make the day fun and ignore all of our usual weekend chores so I don’t have much time to post today. We went to the local lake/park to play for 2 1/2 hours and she had a ton of fun there. Then it was naptime and so we were busy wrapping presents and running out to get the cake for our little family celebration tonight. Next is dinner and the yummy cake! I will definitely post a better update tomorrow. This day is too special to spend it in front of my computer screen. :) Love you my beautiful Miss Maddy!!!
