I gotta pee. (Ashley)

It all started with names.

The harsh reality that our lives now revolve around the number 2. Well if you include us then 4. But you get my point.

Names were easy.  We decided on 2 girls and 2 boys.

Reason for the early name choosingness, is that my trusty dusty husband doesn't want to know the genders. GREEEEAT.  I want to know... I HAVE to know.

I think its my duty to find out. Right?

Well, this is definitely gonna be interesting.

I can't keep secrets from him as it is... I get him birthday gifts and he knows what it is before he opens them... heck... he knows before I wrap it.  :/

oh well...

I think I can find out in 5 and a half weeks!! HOLY CRAAAAAP!

What if it's two girls... girly girls.  That want to wear dresses and drink tea. OMG.

I was a total tomboy growing up. Playing in mud. Torturing my brother. Coming home with scabbed up knees. Finding worms after a good rain.

This could be bad.

No, no, no. I got this.  WEEEEE got this.
Calm down Ashley.
I keep forgetting that I have the perfect partner to raise children with.

I keep thinking of all the things I want to do, see, experience.   I know that having kids changes life, but I only see it enhancing ours.

You know, now I'm gonna have a little minion to carry my backpack when we go on long hikes.  lol... not really.

However, John did just get me a double hammock (he already had one) and said that I could comfortably fit me AND a little one in there. He said he can take one and I can take one. (He is way more excited then he lets on I think) He was even looking at kid carrier hiking packs for the both of us. : )  I love him.

Well, let me just say, this pregnancy thing ain't no walk in the park.  It's more like a roller coaster ride on Dr. Dread after you've eaten a four course dinner.

My stomach decides to do backflips every morning that continue on well into my mid-day.  The only way I have found to combat it is, to eat.  Lightly. But continually.

I know everyone is different. I actually have had a lot of good advice on different things to try.  I have tried everything, I think. Crackers. Lemons. Peppermints. Tootsie pops. Ginger Ale. Bananas and milk.

Everything.

I will say this... mommy lesson learned number 1!...   orange juice is BAD.
I had never had indigestion/ heart burn... until... orange juice.

It hates me.
Now, the feeling is mutual.

That isn't the only body changes taking place on this ol thing. Belly is sticking out (mostly from food, not babies yet.)  Boobs are getting HUGE. Well... okay, huge for me.  I think I can finally classify myself as an A cup.  hahaha.   About time.   Them dang training bra's were a bit embarrassing.

I did go up two pant sizes already.  And I have to wear John's gym shorts around the house.

Oh... and I have to pee about 72 times a day/night.  I get no sleep and no work done.

Speaking of.... I do need to pee.  So, I think I will end it here today.
