Multi-Tasking at Its Best!

I was talking with some friends this past week and came up with this blog post. Here is the story…

I was complaining to some of my friends about how I wasn’t sure that God made me to really be pregnant. I had a great two weeks between weeks 16-18 and then my heartburn and reflux kicked in. I literally was at a restaurant last weekend and my body didn’t give me any warning before it decided to kick my meal back up. I almost didn’t make it to the bathroom… The one time worried me, but it happened again last Monday morning and then again on Thursday. So, when I was talking to my friends, I made the comment that my first trimester was hard enough and now as soon as I am feeling good, it starts going south again. So, my frustrations were coming out.

As friends often do, one of them said something that made me smile and look at things differently. She looked at me and said “Melissa, God knows how efficient you like to be at everything in your life. So, maybe He was doing you a favor by packing these two little guys in one pregnancy since He knew you would have a hard time either way.” So, that is it… God is playing to my talents…It is multi-tasking at its best!! How funny!

So, this week’s post is really about friendships. Thanks so much for all of my friends who lift me up every day and encourage me through this! The good news is that the doctors put me on Zantac for the reflux and it seems to be working so far! So far, it has kept all of my meals down and I have been able to gain back the little weight that I lost.

Baby update: My boys seem to be a little on the big side. My updates show that this week they should each be about 7 ounces and they were already at 8 ounces last Monday. So, their growth is looking good. The other new news is that I have started to feel them more this week. It still isn’t all the time, but it is definitely more prominent. I still haven’t been able to let Chris feel them. Every time they start moving around he is too far away and doesn’t make it in time to feel them. Hopefully he will be able to experience that soon though. We also learned that our little boy’s hearing is fully developed…So, my big goal in the next couple of weeks is to start controlling some of the things that come out of my mouth.

One more update…We actually were able to register this weekend. Please feel free to check out our registries at Babies R Us and Target. Please note that Chris and I are buying the stroller and car seats. We put that on the registry simply to get a discount. So, please ignore those items.

Thanks again to everyone for supporting us as we go through this crazy journey of pregnancy! My eyes are on the prize! We have officially hit the half way point for twins. So, our little boys will be here before we know it!
