...and so it begins

Today I am officially 10 weeks. It may not seem like a milestone however my babies are now into their double digits and that makes me excited. With the exception of being exhausted all the time I honestly hadn't been that sick. So I was thinking to myself, "YES, you got off scott free with the sickness crap." Apparently I spoke to soon. I don't know how some of you function with morning sickness. I am completely useless. I woke up yesterday totoally fine, however upon arriving to work, one of my co-workers was having popcorn for breakfast (no she's not expecting) and from that point on I was a gonner. For the next three hours it was like a wrestling match with my 'up-chuck' reflex. About 11:00 I could take no more and resigned myself to taking the rest of the day as a sick day. I felt like a whimp. I came home and slept from 1:00 until 5:00, it was fabulous. Needless to say, Popcorn smell is now banned from my office if they expect me to continue working at my desk as opposed to on the toilet. (That could be interesting)

On a much sadder note, I am also surrounded by sick people. I was informed just recently that there are a few people in Josh's family as well as a couple at work who have or have been in contact with someone who has the H1N1 Virus. (I don't know why they call it that, Swine Flu is so much more fun to say.) So hopefully everyone will make a full recovery and we can get back to life as we know it. I'm praying I don't contract anything foreign because there is a limited number of medications to be taken at this point in my pregnacy.

My Mom has become demesticated recently. She made me the cutest quilts ever for my babies. She made a pink and brown poka-dot one for a girl and, of course, a camo one for a boy. I'm not sure that they are a boy and a girl, however I am hoping for it. I really feel like at least one of them is a boy and if they both turn out to be girls I will apologize later.

I recently learned that stores give you a discount for having twins, which just goes to show that they feel sorry for the expense you will be going to. I have officially resigned myself to the fact that we are now poor. I never really thought of myself as poor (obviously never rich either, just alright) but I am now. We are trying to work out a way for me to quit working because it's wrong for me to expect people to watch my kids for free everyday, I would just feel to bad. So we have come up with The Plan. I would hate to bore you with the details but basically it includes every dime I make going towards paying off our truck, if I can do that then I can quit. So here's to my attempt at being extremely disciplined with my spending and hoping I have a lot of great shower gifts or my babies may be naked. (Not really)
