Taking a chance and Trying again - Thursday

It has been a while since I last blogged... Umm, like over 3 months?!?! ::smirk:: I've decided I'm going to try again... A lot has happened since my last publishing... An amazing event has happened which has lead me to try again so I can document this... I'm expecting again... Nothing too amazing about that... LOL!!! Here is my 20 week guess the gender belly shot (with Linebacker sneaking in there too):




However...
I'm expecting TWINS... Yep, right there in that ultrasound PIC you can see TWO heads which are connected to 2 seperate sweet bouncing BOYS! At the time of the ultrasound I was 20 weeks and 6 days... Baby Boy A was 21 weeks and 5 days and Baby Boy B was 21 weeks and 3 days... I bet you weren't 'expecting' that huh? So, our family is now a family of 8... Gender Count of Offspring is 5 Boys to 1 Girl... So, lately I've been filling my hours with eating ::smirk:: and talking with friends about their twin births plus reading online and various books I own what new things I'm to expect this pregnancy... If you have had twins and have recommended reading... Let me know... How do I feel about this news... Well, I have to say I'm still shocked (found out on Monday) but excited... I've decided during Lent to make Friday's internet free so my next posting will have you waiting till Saturday... On the bright side tomorrow is Good Friday and the last Friday of Lent...


In other news... We bought a new minivan (which will be FULL in a few months) 98 Plymouth Grand Voyager Expresso... Engineer is now 10, still in the 4th grade and doing awesome in his program... Monkey is now 7, still in 1st grade and he is doing well also... Princess is still 4 with a birthday coming up this summer and very excited to be FIVE and a Kindergarten this fall... Linebacker is 22 months and into EVERYTHING... I'm planning a trip to the clothing store with a friend of mine to ::gasp:: buy shorts (maternity for now)... Which she assures me will be modest and look good... ::smirk:: She promises to help me find jeans also that fit good/modest plus appropriate for a mom in her 30s without being frumpy after the twins arrive... Of course when I'm ready for jeans (aka willing to give up my maternity wear, hehehe)...


See you all on Holy Saturday...

PS: Don't forget to check me out on FB a.k.a. where I've been hiding the last few months... ::wink::

1st Lenten Friday - No Meat

Today is the first Friday of Lent... Hasn't been going very well for me in my 'improvement'... I only pray that each day I can do better then the previous... The fasting and no meat part has been easier then in years past... My husband had the day off and we dropped the van off for a new radiator, driver's door handle and to put that turn/runner light back because it fell off again... It was also my husband's pay day... We ran a few errands together like grocery store, Target, picking up a new deep fryer from Macy's and bank deposits... We made baked fish for dinner... It was delicious... We finished Hancock... It was pretty good... Better then I had expected... We didn't make it back to the repair shop before he closed so we are vanless... Which we aren't happy about at all... We will know better next time I guess... It is hard to do things in my husband's dinosaur I mean car... Otherwise good day...

Frig Friday!

Our new refrigerator that took us weeks to find was delivered today... Isn't it awesome: The door is backwards and the delivery people claimed (we don't have that tool on our truck)... Grrrr... So, someone is 'supposed' to be back on Monday to fix that... They also said oh we are going to deliver it first thing in the morning we will call you between 7-8 to give you the exact time... They call and now 'we have no driver for the morning' so it will be lunch... At least it is here and it is full of our food and we didn't lose anything... Our old fridge was a nightmare to get out... They had to bring it in the front door because it wouldn't fit out the back... They must have replaced the counter top near the entrance to the kitchen because it scraped it to death (thank God the new one managed to have a tiny bit of breathing room)... Next they made it to the front door well it won't go out the front without taking off the interior door and the part of the screen door (hinges)... So, they did that and then they had to squeeze around the stair case... It did finally make it outside and into our garage... We are debating if we are going to see it as an 'extra' fridge to keep your sodas cold in your garage or keep it ourselves and use it as 'our' extra fridge...

Other things that happened today... Peanut had ST... We met with my oldest psychiatrist and we are going to try a new med and things seem to be moving in the right direction to get the help we need... Just a matter of paper working being moved around and things starting up... We go back in a week to see how the new med is helping or not helping... We are then going to meet often till everything settles down... We used to meet every 3-6 months because I'd go and say everything is great, don't change a thing, can I have a slip for the pharmacy for refills... Then disappear again for another 3-6 months... His special education teacher and developmental disabilities case manager for the region were there so I think we made a lot of progress... ::smile::

I have a TON of eBay packages to ready for my mailing tomorrow so I'm going to sign off... Talk to you all tomorrow... Have a great Friday evening...
PS: Today I made baked Alaskan Pollack... DELICIOUS!
