...The Goose Is Getting Fat

(ode to Longfellow and Mrs. Stewart for teaching us the most festive songs ever)



So, yes, I know its not even Halloween yet and I'm talking Christmas, but because I have babies coming probably in November or December, and I have one of my cute out-of-state brothers for Christmas, and that will involve mailing things (not the babies,) I am thinking about it now.

My sister-in-law asked me today to make up a list. This is what I'm coming up with.

* How old do you have to be or young do you have to be to have underwear on your list, or to want people to buy them for you? My mom and I were remembering a wedding registry we got one time from Target that had "women's panties" on it. I thought it was weird at the time, but now, I'd totally take them as a gift.

* I want a new pillow that doesn't give me a crink in my neck. I'm kindof a pillow snob, and the last ones I bought were from the $4 bin at Target and I've hated them ever since buying them.

* Stretch marks. Oh wait; check. Sorry people, the babies beat you to it, and they were free.

* Is it rude to ask for a new car? Even though I'm supposed to be staying home, the fact that Jason and I are sharing a vehicle and I don't have the ability to go somewhere if I wanted to is making me insane. So, I'd like one.

* A chimichanga. I'll take that one early, while it's hot.

Definition for Oakley

bedrest

noun

confinement to bed continuously So, good luck with a 2 year old, right? Today he smoked a pack of tampons and lathered himself up, head to toe, with KY, baby shampoo and hair crap. He got his second bath for the day by 10:50 AM. Not a record, but certainly not one of my favorite activities. Poor kid is bored.

I heard him spitting.

Rough Times.

Anybody want to buy me a pedicure? My super sexy smooth heels ripped my sheets to shreds. Yep, I'm gross like that.What about the ped-egg you ask? I can't hold my breath that long to reach my heels.

Really?

I don't know if you can tell what's going on here, but it makes me laugh.Oh, watch out for the tricky ones... the mail goes in the mailbox not the garbage can.

So, Jason and I haven't decided yet if it's for training purposes or the Mailman Olympics. Maybe both.

Drumroll Please.....

So, we had the ultrasound, and they took tons of pictures.

Can you tell anything in these?

Aww, cutie little spine and buns!

And a tummy and face, looking up.


Now for some parts. Muh... who really knows what things are in there?
The biggest suprise: THIS!!!:

Interpretation:
The last picture is actually what we saw first.

TWINS!

I kid you not!
Is that something to joke about? Not unless you are mean.
Yes, we are having twins, as depicted by the 4th picture of their heads together, total suprise, no, they don't run in the family, and for those mothers of twins who will ask, there's one placenta and two sacks, so probably identical. The first pictue is "Baby A" whom we will refer to as Almonds and the second picture is "Baby B" whom we will refer to as Banana. We are mature, seeing as how they are boys and all. (I know my mom is shaking her head at me right now.)

So, as for names, ugh. We have a girl name, it's Alyssa. Half Alyson, half Melissa; after my sisters. Boys: no clue. If we follow the same idea, we could combo my brothers' names: Chris, Jacob and Kevin. So far I've come up with: Javis (J pronounced as H) and Chravis (kinda like crevice.) Another idea is to just have my brothers compete to see who can be the favorites and the two winners will get their name sponsored by a child.

But for reals, no ideas on names. Suggestions still welcome! (I guess we still have a few months to figure this all out.)

Ta-da!
Time to go eat. Oh, how awesome is it that I gained 14 pounds this month?

Plain or With Nuts?

So, what's your vote? The ultrasound is tomorrow at 9, and I'm excited!!!

Tell me what you think, and if you have any name suggestions that would be helpful too. So far the names are: awesome.
