If there’s any scrapbookers that visit my site and need wedding stuff… I’m selling my Creative Memories wedding stuff because I don’t prefer Creative Memories style. You can see the listing HERE if you are interested!
Okay my newest pregnancy symptom: heartburn. I hate it. I’ve never really had heartburn before and let me tell you… it sucks. I’m getting huuuuuge. You can see new pics on my myspace profile, if you have access. I try to approve all people who add me, if I have seen you comment here before or if I know you have a site. So if you add me send me a message or comment here. I try to reply to all of them but I have been getting a lot more messages than usual lately!
I have my next ultrasound on Wednesday. I’m excited! My doctor said she might be able to tell the sexes this time! If not they will try again to see on the 20 week appointment, which is on Valentine’s Day. I can’t wait! I’ve started to feel them move. It’s awesome 
It actually started on Christmas Eve but I haven’t been 100% sure that that was what I was feeling. I’m sure it is now though. I don’t know what else it could be! It’s so cute. I haven’t felt them for a couple days though. It’s so random right now because their movements aren’t that strong yet.
So, I would just like to vent on a couple things that are getting on my nerves lately. First of all, I know I’m huge. I’m having twins. Two babies, not one. Which means I’m going to be a lot bigger than you were when you were pregnant, or than your sister/friend/aunt/cousin is with her pregnancy. This isn’t directed at anyone specific, it just seems like no matter who sees my pictures the thing that I hear the most is “Wow you’re so big! So and so is 6/7/8 months pregnant and not that big!”. Yes, I know. It’s normal. Twins everyone, two babies! Twice the baby in a space designed for one. On average, a woman pregnant with twins measures 8-10 weeks bigger than a woman pregnant with a singelton.
Also, I’m glad you’re not having twins too. I think that nearly every pregnant woman I’ve talked to says something like “I’m so glad I’m not having twins!” or I hear parents say “It’s going to be so hard! It was hard with one, I can’t imagine two!” Or “I have two kids and it’s so much work, it’s really hard!” Yes. Two babies will be hard - at first. I really do not think it’s going to be that bad. I have an amazing husband who has the luxury of working from home and is totally excited to help as often and as much as I need him to. In fact, we joke about how God knew we would be fighting over who gets to do what with the baby so he gave us two instead of one so that neither one of us would feel left our or jealous!
Now don’t stop commenting! lol I’m talking about the people who tell me these things in a rude or a “you’re never going to make it” way.
And one last thing… I have had an interesting number of pregnant teenagers add me as friends on myspace. To be completely honest, it makes me nearly sick. A 15 year old girl added me as a friend the other day. She’s pregnant with twins. I was looking at her pictures and she doesn’t look a day over 12. And her boyfriend… wow. I don’t know. I try not to be judgemental but seriously, wow. They are babies themselves. It’s so, so, so sad to me to see KIDS having sex and having babies. I had sex when I was young too. I’m not proud of it. BUT - I was responsible. As soon as I started having sex I told my mom and got on birth control pills. These kids are trying to be adults. They’re trying to do adult things like have sex, yet they aren’t adult enough to tell their parents they are having sex. Don’t even get me started on the teenagers who are TRYING to get pregnant.
Anyway, I’m off to watch Conan and then get to bed. :cute:

Hi Sarah. Thanks for adding me on myspace! I think it’s amazing you’re having twins! I’m jealous and I think you look great. My husband and I would love to have twins. We’re currently TTC (2 years, 1 m/c). Do you mind if I ask if you used anything to help conceive? I have a doctors appointment this week in regards to Clomid. Hopefully that works!
As for 15 y/o and younger kids getting pregnant, it’s just sad and I will admit, frustrating! Or even just people unfit to be parents in the first place.

One of my good friends from HS just got pregnant. She’s 20 so it’s not a horrible age but she can’t hold a job (she just got fired today!), she’s irresponsible, and she doesn’t even realize this will change her life, and she’s never lived on her own! I’m so sad for the baby (she’s keeping it) because I don’t think this girl will make a good mother. And yay for new blogs, I love when you post a new one
I forgot to ask, how old is Preston’s girl? She’s adorable! (I saw the pics on your myspace, I’m not creepy I promise!)

AJ- I can give you some 2 cents before Sarah gets around to it. First off.. do charting if you haven’t been already. http://www.fertilityfriend.com has charting and we did that, and if you email me or Sarah, we’ll give you the link to our chart that shows what we did to get pregnant
As for anything that can help you, the obvious things like, low day to day stress, a strong commitment to each other in centering your days around intimacy (not just sex).. other things like Green Tea.. I’m probably just repeating things you have already read 
but I don’t know
As for your husband, it helps to work on relaxing and not stress too much. Timing IS everything, and preparing yourself for that one small window of time can go a long long way. Keep us updated, I’m sure you’ll be finding yourself pregnant very soon!
HAILEY! It is sad that your friend isn’t ready for the baby, but of course, it’s better she is having the baby, and not having an abortion
I have seen alot of seriously challenged people have a baby without being anywhere close to prepared for it, but their life takes a quick turn into reality when the baby comes and things come around for them. You never really know how people will handle it. I hope she can get into a stable situation soon and concentrate on getting her life suited for being a good mom. My daughter Ashton is about to be 7 years old. She is amazing! I know its not normal to reply to people’s comments, but I thought both of these were interesting

Hey, I added you on MySpace. I’m not sure if you remember me, I used to be kara.nu/pinkalicious or playgerl.org/krissy. Those are pretty old ones and very tacky addresses. Haha. Now I’m at my own domain, snowpants.org.
Congratulations on the twins! I can’t wait till I have kids of my own. Must be sooo exciting!

Hey Sarah!
People are going to be saying rude things to you throughout your entire pregnancy (whether they mean to be rude or not). It sucks but you’ll get used to it. Toward the end of mine I just started walking away from people (particularly old women). My mother in law still makes comments about the weight I gained while I was pregnant with my son and he is 18 months old now haha. Granted, I gained a good 60 pounds, but I lost all of it. Just remember that everyone is different. Your body will accomodate for these babies as it needs to. Plus, I’m sure you look great! People tend to make comments when they are insecure about themselves.
Sorry to hear about the heartburn…that must be a killer.
Take care!
:blank: :phwoar:
January 13th, 2007 10:54 am
Oh! I didn’t realize that just clicking on those little smileys would add them to my comment haha! I don’t know what the PHWOAR one means, but I hope I didn’t insult anyone. :blush:

Seriously, it’s pretty sad to see how young generations are rushing into adulthood.. I mean, our generation is the same way, but it’s just getting worse.
It always reminds me of this episode of Sex & the city, where Samantha was a PR for a 13 year old, who was acting pretty much like the 4 main characters of SatC (don’t know if you watched it or no..). .. Anyway, bottomline is, Samantha realised in the end, she’s just happy she wasn’t the same at 13 (And Samantha’s supposed to be the wild one
), because she had her childhood.

People actually come up to you and tell you that? RUDE! I’ve dreamt my whole life of having twins! I thought it was something every girl dreams of just like their wedding.
Since everyone is telling you negative things about twins…I will tell you positive things. A guy I work with has so many sets of twins in his family that they are going to have to get studied. So far for the past five generations there has been a set of identical twins. Anyways, all he does is talk about the bond his sons and grandsons have because they are twins. He said when his sons were born and then taken off separately to be examined, the doctor pulled him aside and told him to watch. After a few seconds put of his boys started reaching their hands in the air trying to feel his brother. He talks a lot about them having secret languages and how they play together. I think it’s really a blessing to have twins or be one.

Hey Sarah, I’m another Sarah! Girl, I’ve been keeping up w/ your site ever since I heard you first were expecting. When you made your post today about the babies having babies, I wanted to kiss you, hah! I’ve been saying the same thing to my friends FOREVER. I’m young, don’t get me wrong, only 18 when I had my son, but my boyfriend and I support ourselves 100% and I’m PROUD of that! Some of these kids should be ashamed of themselves. But don’t even get me started on that
Anyway, I added you to myspace a while back but I don’t think you added me back, but I don’t think I commented here about it either. Sorry about that! I’m so excited for you to have these babies, I would love to keep up via myspace!! I’ll add you again right now, add me back if you like.
Sorry for the long-winded post, just my way of saying, HI!
January 13th, 2007 06:45 pm
Oh yeah, and I have two weiner dogs, too
Their names are Elvis and Presley!!!
January 13th, 2007 09:42 pm
hey, i added you on myspace so i hope you can add me too
i’ve been visiting your site for a while now but i’ve never commented. so belated congratulations on the twins 
my friend has just had a baby boy so i definitely have baby fever at the moment. i love babies!
January 13th, 2007 09:44 pm
oops, i typed an arrow so the rest of my comment wasn’t published. anyway, just wanted to say hey and i hope everything is going well (and that the heartburn doesn’t get any worse, that sucks).
January 13th, 2007 11:01 pm
Well it seems like being pregnant changes everything haha not just physically but socially and emotionally aswell. Must be a but of a rollercoaster.
It is very sad to see younge people having babies… some adults these days shouldn’t be allowed to have children let alone children having children. It’s a crazy world we live in.
I’ve added you to myspace.
xoxo

i just want to say that i saw the preview to your pic on your myspace and i think you look too cute. i don’t know why, but i like seeing pregnant bellys lol. are you guys hoping for a specific sex or you don’t really care? one of each would be pretty cool, i think so anyways.
January 14th, 2007 06:40 pm
Thanks for taking the time to reply Preston! You’re daughter is ADORABLE, I know I said it before, but it’s true
Yes, I’m happier she’s having the baby, but scared for her at the same time. Of course, I’ll be there to support her as much as possible and help her out. 
January 15th, 2007 04:47 pm
Hey AJ
Sorry I didn’t reply to you yet! We didn’t have anything to help conceive but Preston is right. You should check out that link he posted. It will teach you how to chart your waking temperature to determine when you ovulate. That way you know when you are ovulating each month. What you do is you take your temp every day at the same time each morning before even getting out of bed and then put the temp into the site and it’ll chart the temps for you. Once ovulation has occured your temp spikes up and stays there. It’s VERY helpful in learning your cycle and knowing which days are best for having sex.
Also, check out http://www.twoweekwait.com it’s a GREAT site. The forums are where all the good stuff is. You can chat with tons of other women TTC and many of them have been trying for as long as you guys have. Lots of women are on Clomid too so you can find so many people to connect with. The forums are here: http://www.twoweekwait.com/community/modules.php?name=Forums
Good luck!!! Shoot me an email sarah@alittlelessordinary.com and I’ll tell you my screen name on there and on the pregnancy boards.

January 16th, 2007 10:28 pm
