Tampa, Here I come!!

So excited to be heading to Tampa tomorrow! I am going to visit my BFF, Ashley.  Her husband called me over a month ago and asked if I would come to surprise her for her birthday.  DUH. I'll be right there!

this was at her sister's bachelorette party last year

She has three beautiful children that I am ready to squeeze!! She was telling me today that they were asking questions about my belly (having two babies).  I was so hoping I would be showing by now, but I lost another pound. :(  It's so odd... when I'm trying to lose weight, I can look at food and gain and NOW I eat half a bag of cheetoos and lose weight?  I have been trying to eat more, but I feel full so fast.  

I have an u/s on Monday (12 weeks)! So excited to see my babies again!!

Have a great weekend... I'll have lots of pics when I return!

 

Could it be...

The return of sweets?

The past few nights I have been dreaming of cupcakes.... I took that as a sign that I am ready to let sweets back in my life?!

HOT. Attic

This weekend we decided to tackle the attic.  We started early Saturday morning so it wouldn't be so hot.  Boy was it a hot mess!  You could find anything from old yearbooks, jerseys, Christmas decorations to wedding presents still in their box!  We separated into piles: trash, garage sale and back to attic.  For the time being, we are leaving everything out bc soon Justin is adding more boards (for added space) and is going to blow it with insulation.

Now we just have to decide when the yard sale will be!

U/S

WOW! What a morning!!  Today we met my OB for the first time (I switched Dr).  She was a hoot.  She has no filter on her mouth!  Let's just say I am extremely modest and she embarrassed the crap out of me! Justin and I had many laughs in that short 30 min.
We got to have another u/s and it was amazing.  They actually look like babies!!  They both had strong heart beats and were measuring perfect!!  It was so good to hear them and see the progress.
Baby A was actually moving it's legs and Baby B was facing us with it's legs crossed and hands over the face. They are so cute to me already!!
I'm in love

Baby A is on the right and B is on left

Oh happy days!

I'm ready!

OMG! Today is my appointment!! In 1 hour and 50 minutes I get to meet my new OB!  I have been having crazy dreams so I really need this appt. to confirm they are both still in there and healthy!!
Full report later!

Diaper Bags and Sunflowers

I meant to post yesterday, but was to tired!  When we were in the OBX we stopped at the Coach outlet.  Remember J gave me $ for our anniversary for a cool, hip diaper bag, so I thought it was perfect timing to hit the outlets.  BINGO I found this great Coach bag and it was on sale!!

I love that I can use it as a purse as well!

And Lots of room!

I may have found some great sunglasses too!

Love a good deal...and it helped they were passing out an extra 10 % off total purchase!

Sunflowers

A couple months ago I planted different types of sunflowers.  I had no idea how big some of them were going to be.  I guess that's why they were called "mammoth".  There were at least 5 that were as tall as the house!!  I also picked up some red ones.  They were not great.. i think they looked like death.  They were red with black center.  Not a fan.  Justin hated all of them and said they looked like big weeds.  SO, he got his wish, I let him cut them down.  It does look a lot better.

Look how "mammoth" they really were!

Look at those roots!

It is a beautiful, hot day so off to the pool.

Pregnancy updates tomorrow... have our second u/s!!

OBX

We are back!  What a great trip we had!  We arrived to the OBX Wed around dinner time and headed right out for dinner. 
Thursday was all day beach day!! I loved it.  Nothing beats a summer breeze, feet in the sand and good friends!  We went out to Kelly's for dinner and it was fabulous!!!!!!!  I had Filet Oscar and OMG it was the one of the best steaks I have ever had!!  After dinner, Kelly's had a band playing so we stayed to dance and sing along.  Being the only pregnant one of the group, when 12 am came along I was ready to GO.  I went to pay their bar tab and the bartender was super rude.... not good.  When I am tired, the littlest thing sets my emotions off.  I started crying, so Justin went home with me while the others stayed to dance!
Friday we drove up to Corolla to spend the day with Justin's family.  We had so much fun.  Have you ever played the game Things?  It was so much fun and would be great with our friends! 
Saturday we went to a place where you can drive on the beach and set up shop!  It was my first time driving on the sand and it was pretty cool.  I will admit I freaked a little when the car started shaking.  The wind was really bad so after the shaky drive and lots of set up (for the little boys) we packed up and went to the pool.
