Well, it's been awhile since I've written. I am beginning my new craft of cloth diapering. Not only and I using them on my twins, but I making them myself. I will be posting pics and discussions about it. It's new to me but I love it! Can't wait until I get a mad stash of diapers! Pics to come! Twins are doing great!

Breastfeeding Twins!

Week three of this new journey leaves me exhausted and worn out! True story! I struggled in the beginning with whether or not I was making enough to feel my two little ones. I was so determined to strictly BF but they seemed so hungry! I felt horrible as a mom because I felt like I was putting my wants above their needs. I wanted to BF. However, at their three week weigh in, they had both gained 13 and 11 oz. I was so happy! I wasn't starving my babies!  Now, I'd love to be the supermom that claims to tandem feed all the time, but it just doesn't always work that way. I just read that a lady feeds her twins on demand and individually, unless they are both demanding at the same time, then she tandem feeds. This is a very sacrificing journey, but then....isn't parenting?  I'm still searching for that "routine" we always try to get in the first few weeks.  We're making it, even if the "ladies" feel freeze dried and abused!  It's most definitely worth it!  Here's to more water and healthy eating in the weeks/months to come!

Two months to go!

I am 31 weeks and 4 days pregnant with healthy baby girls. Although some days are very hard to get through due to the constant pain, I am very blessed with healthy girls. My sugar is still seriously being monitored but other than that, this pregnancy has been a healthy one! Seeing a recent tragic post about the loss of a newborn, I cling to my blessing, thanking the Lord everyday that the lives within me are healthy and truly a gift from above. I may complain about my pain but I am thankful for the opportunity to carry God's gifts. I have two months left and now that my shower is over, it's just me and the babies' room. I can't wait!!

I am missing my husband so much but it's been so nice talking to him on the phone. He seems so different. God is really working on him in there. I am praying that God will help me be the wife he needs now and when he's home. God has been teaching me a lot, also. So much selfishness I didn't see before. God is so good!

Kara is doing better than before with her attitude. I am happy for that. She loves going to church at the Manley's. She has so much fun with the Cook girls. They are so cute!

I am trying to get a head start on some spring cleaning. Kara is asleep so I am going to take advantage of this time. I hope you all have a wonderful day!

50 pounds lighter and Missing My Husband.

For 4 months, we have been doing repairs to our house so that we may be approved for Metro. today was the inspection and it passed. I feel 50 pounds lighter. So glad that is over with.

As for Ryan's situation, he's still at London Prison. He sounds goods. He's in the prison choir. That definitely makes time go by faster. I miss him so much. God is really working in our marriage, even though we're apart. He's working in each of our hearts so that when we are together again, we can put to use the wonderful things God has taught us. May 25 is the big day I get to pick him up.

Kara has been in early headstart since he's been gone. I'm really worried about her attitude. She's picking up things that I don't like. She needs Jesus. I don't want her to see what the world has to offer right now. She needs what Jesus has to offer.

I will try and write more on a daily basis. Gotta get crackin on some serious make up work. aye!

Wow! What a morning! I'm really dragging here! I can't get motivated at all. I work in a couple of hours. I still have to shower, get ready and take Kara to my mom's before work. I can't believe he's going to be gone that long. What about Kara's surgery? What about Christmas? I know if I can just make it through the holidays, I'll be ok. I also know what once things settle down and I can write him and actually get one back, I will be ok. He'll be even farther away than before. I really need God's warmth right now. I'm so overwhelmed! Prayer is welcome!
