Miracle

As I came out of the anesthesia, I could see Dr. Handsome sitting beside me. 'Do NOT try to move' was the first thing out of his mouth. I could feel panic begin to set in and tears were filling my eyes. He must have noticed because he then explained that I hadn't had anything for pain yet and since he had cut through my abdominal wall, it would be quite painful.

I laid there for a few hours and he came back to discharge me. Uhhh, yeah, no. I could not even imagine moving. I couldn't get up by myself, and I surely could not take care of myself and a 2 year old! I told him these things so he admitted me for the night and scheduled an ultrasound to check the babes.

I will admit I was pretty medicated as I have a ridiculously low pain tolerance, but I do remember the red headed man come to wheel me down to the ultrasound room. I waited anxiously for the tech to come in. I needed to see my babies, needed to know if they were okay.

She came in and we chatted for a minute as she got ready. Sticky, cold goop was squirted onto my abdomen and as she began to slide the remote (? I have no idea what the thing is called) as she began to look, she almost shouted, 'OH! You're having twins! They look PERFECT!'

'What? No. That can't be right. Baby B has a small amniotic sac and very little fluid.' I knew this because I had seen them the day before. She turned the screen so I could see. If I hadn't seen it myself, I would not believe this story. They WERE the same! They were BOTH perfect. I began to sob as I was overwhelmed with joy. And I tried to stop because it was excruciating pain as my abs moved.

I had her take a photo with my phone so I could share the news. A miracle. Truly. I had witnessed a miracle in my lifetime, and it was mine.

#allthethangs

Near the end of 2016, one night while Stephen and I were lying in bed, I told him, "2017 is going to be our year. I can feel it. I know it. We are going to have all tha thangs," and then last night, he reminded me of this and *GASP* told me I was right! This year has been wild, but this summer has been bountifully, overwhelmingly perfect. Obviously, you know we closed on our home, which was hitting the biggest goal we have had for the last (almost) four years. We also bought a new vehicle, which we desperately needed, but were holding out until after we closed on our home, you know, 'just in case'. There is something else  that we have been wishing/hoping/praying for since I've known Stephen, and it has finally come to fruition. She's here y'all, and not just for her required 42 days this summer. She's here. She is going to school here, I just dropped her off for her first day this morning. She is making friends, learning to drive, and buildi...

SO CLOSE!

Y'all guys, OHEMGEE, y'all guys! We are now less than THREE weeks away from closing on our home and moving in. WHAAAAT?!?! I need to get busy! Anyone wanna volunteer to come help me pack? This weekend, next weekend, or the weekend after that, I'm totally free... you know, for packing. Come on and make a trip to A-Town! We got wind and dirt for days, you can't even imagine! I'll wine and dine ya', take you to Cadillac Ranch, and tell you how pretty you are. SWEAR IT. Seriously though, so much to do and I want to do it all right now! We are beyond ecstatic. For one, our final rent payment cleared our account this week, and it was one of the best feelings in the world. Knowing that after 3 years of saving and planning, we are about to move into a home that is ours. Speaking of the rent thing, it got my brain wondering how much money we have spent in rent in the last 3 and a half years... Do you want to know? Its insanity. SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS. Gone, jus...

TWENTYEIGHTEEN Y'ALL GUYS!

Y'all. How has another year already gone by? And seriously, has it really been almost five months since I blogged last? What the actual F?!? Where did 2017 go? I wasn't done kicking ass and taking names yet... honestly though, I'm not even a little sad its over. I got a whole new freaking year to kill it. Right? I'm pretty sure I have hit those years that my parents used to talk about 'time flying'. SLOW DOWN. Or, you know, speed the hell up, like, get me right to retirement, I'm moving to Honduras! jaykay, jaykay. I am loving all the kids, and soaking up all the memories. I know. It only happens once. all that. So many of my high school friends/acquaintances have either just had their last baby, or are about to. And I'll be honest, I'm super jealous. There have been tears. Many. And I don't even like to cry. But then, I start doing some simple math, and I'm like, I will not even be 45 yet when my youngest graduate high school... y'all ...
