It’s funny how I always discover new things to waste money on on ebay. Except this time, it’s not a waste. Okay it’s never really a waste but this time it’s like money in my pocket. I was browsing for pj’s and came across infant formula on ebay. I thought that was pretty odd and would never myself buy formula on ebay, however, I came across tons of formula checks. If you’ve ever joined any formula companies start up programs you know that they send you checks for money off formula ranging from $1-$10 off at any retailer. There’s tons of listings for bundles of checks. I’m bidding on one right now for $53 in Enfamil checks for $.99 and free shipping. That’s free money right there! I’m excited about this! haha 
Today we went and saw The Heartbreak Kid. It was really, really good! I had read some bad reviews on it but Preston and I both liked it a lot. I wasn’t sure how the girls would do in the movie because we haven’t been for a while but they did great. In fact, they sat on our laps and watched the movie the whole time, until they fell asleep about 30 mins before it was over. It’s so cute how they watch the movie screen and the TV. Good thing we’re not big TV junkies or we could have problems when they get older! Tonight when I sat down to feed the girls at 8pm I turned the TV on and a movie called Grandma’s Boy was on. I don’t know how I have missed this one before but it was really funny! It’s produced by Adam Sandler, which by the end of the movie I had guessed. I missed the beginning credits but it was just his style. Really good.
Well I need to get to bed but before I go, please go check out Becca’s newest theme and tell her how amazing she did at designing and coding it. It’s probably the most creative blog design I have seen in a really long time. I love it!

Preston and I watched Knocked Up tonight. That is a really, really good movie. I’m going to have to buy that one. It was so sweet. It made me miss being pregnant! It was time to feed the girls for the last feeding of the night right afterwards, which was good because I wanted to snuggle them after that movie. Isn’t it funny how you can be so miserable being pregnant but then miss it so much? I miss feeling them inside me kicking and rolling around. Time for another baby! HA!
Kidding. We plan on getting pregnant again when the twins are 2 and delivering when they are 3. Hopefully it’ll be a boy next time. We have such a cute name picked out.
I want a boy so bad. We’ll just have to keep having kids until we get one. LOL! With Preston’s track record… that could take a while. 3 girls so far… maybe we’ll get lucky and have a boy next but it doesn’t look too promising! 
Anyway, I’m up too late. I better get in bed! Night!
note to self: don’t use the word effin.

I forgot to mention that I changed my YouTube account name because I wasn’t thinking too far ahead when I made the previous one. You see, it went like this. . .
Me: “While you’re checking out the new pictures, Grandma, you should check out the videos I put up on YouTube.”
Grandma: “YouTube?”
Me: “Yah, YouTube. . . it’s a place where you can post videos. . . just go to this web address, do you have a pen?”
Grandma: “Yes, go ahead.”
Me: “h-t-t-p-colon-forward-slash-forward-slash….”
Grandma: “You mean back-slash-back-slash?”
Me: “Well, it’s not really a… yes that’s what I mean… w-w-w-dot-youtube-dot-com-back-slash-user-back-slash-sarah-is-effin…e-f-f-i-n….”
Grandma: “effin?”
Me: “Uh… yah… effin… you know… um… hey Grandma let me get back to you with that address…”
I just couldn’t bring myself to explain to my Grandma what “effin” meant. This one is more all around appropriate anyway. I was going to join my pastor’s channel but I didn’t know if you could see the usernames of the people who join and I didn’t want that to be my username when joining my pastor’s YouTube channel. So there you have it. If you joined the previous channel, just rejoin this one. K?
Across the Universe comes out tomorrow and I really want to see it, but I’m especially looking forward to the soundtrack. I love musicals. You know, I never did get to see Hairspray.
Every time we’ve gone to the movies something else looked more appealing to Preston besides John Travolta dancing around dressed up as a woman. He can’t stand Grease so I didn’t want to put him through another John Travolta musical against his will. Even though he’s not in the movie all that much anyway.
I think it’s finally time to retire the newborn size clothes. I tried getting the girls dressed this morning and all their clothes are very tight and nearly too short. I wish I would have gotten some of the things that I have now in the 3 month size because all their stuff is so cute and now most of it doesn’t fit. I’ve been shopping so I have quite a bit of 3 month stuff now but I need more little pants that will go with lots of things. I got these cute jeans for them but they are way too big. Everything is way too small or way too big it seems like.
Anyway, time to put the munchkins down for a nap. I might take one myself.
home birth

Did that title scare you? Did you think I had the babies at home?! hehe 
I really don’t get the hype about having a home birth. Yes, I realize that women have been giving birth without medical assistance since the beginning of time… There’s a lot of things that have been happening since the beginning of time. I was reading on a forum about a woman who is planning on having an unassisted home birth. Meaning when she goes into labor, her and her husband will be delivering the baby at home by themselves. Neither of them are medical professionals. They’ve read up on home births and decided they want to do it that way.
A lot of women opt for a home birth with a midwife present to deliver the baby. That seems a little more acceptable to me. But to have an unassisted home birth?! That seems extremely dangerous and irresponsible. Yes, technically you can deliver your own baby but that doesn’t mean you should. Think of all the things that could go wrong! What if there was a problem? Then you have to call for help and hope to God that they get their before it’s too late. And, hope to God that you get a paramedic who knows anything about birth in the first place. Most paramedics are not familiar with delivering babies.
And besides…. EWW. I wouldn’t want to be the one to clean up that mess. What the hell do you do with all that mess, and the placenta??? Just toss it in the trash?!!!?
You can have a natural birth in a hospital. You don’t have to have medication. You don’t have to have intervention of any kind. There are safer ways to have a “natural birth”. If you’re going to do it at home, at least have a midwife present who knows what the heck they are doing.
I for one completely embrace the thought of a hospital birth. I absoultely love my doctor and trust what she says. She has never come off as the type who would do things just to make a little more money.
Anyway, I went against my bed rest rule and went to dinner with Ashton, Preston, and my brother last night. Then we went and saw Pirates of the Caribbean. I was miserable the whole time but I’m glad I went. It’s the last movie I’ll be seeing for quite a while! It was good though.

We went to the doctor today for my 33w appointment. Nothing new! I was on the monitors for about 30 mins and had a couple contractions but nothing exciting. I’ve been having them a lot the last few days but of course, nothing regular or anything. So, I’m still going to be miserable and pregnant for at least 2-4 weeks. I have another appointment on the 22nd (34 weeks) and then I have a sonogram and appointment on the 29th. I’ll be 35 weeks and that’s when I’ll find out if I’m going to have a vaginal delivery or c-section. They are still both breech right now so we’ll see how they are in 2 weeks! I can’t wait for the appointment on the 29th. At 35 weeks the doctor will finally be able to tell me how much longer I’ll have to stay pregnant and what type of delivery I’ll have. I’m holding her to not making me go past 37 weeks! That’s only 4 weeks away! I can’t wait! Who knows though, maybe I’ll go into labor on my own before then. I doubt it but I wish!
So, I cannot wait to see the movie Hairspray. I haven’t seen the broadway show or the older movie but this looks so good! I love musicals. And John Travolta! He plays a woman in this movie, it looks like it’s going to be really, really good. I’m going to have to drag Preston to see it with me though. I told him I wanted to see it and he was not thrilled about it but hey, he might actually end up liking it. He likes musicals too so I don’t know why he isn’t too stoked about it. Probably because it’s John Travolta dancing. I watched the cast on Oprah today and it really looks so good.
Anyway, I need to lay down, my back is killing me.

This past weekend was good to me. Lately I had been feeling uber stressed over work related things and it was sort of taking me over. I was in this “thing” where I was seeing the shitty side to everything. It was pathetic. I was stressed out and that obviously made me feel like crap so I was all down and then I started finding all these things that were “shitty” and it was just so stupid. I was in a funk. You know what that’s like, everyone gets that way some times. Well anyway, Kara (Preston’s sister) came over this weekend so Preston and I were able to get away from work and we just all sat around and laughed our asses off. Then I realized that I haven’t laughed that hard in a quite a while. Sure I laugh about things every day but I’m talking about that laughing so hard that you start to cry and your stomach hurts. So, thanks Kara for helping me out of my funk. :cute:
I saw two movies this weekend. Friday we saw The Black Dahlia. I personally did not like this movie. I don’t understand why, in movies like this, they have to be so graphic. There is a scene where this guy falls off of this huge winding staircase, head first, and lands on this fountain at the bottom that has this huge pointy top. They actually show the guys head smashing into the top of this pointy fountain. Seriously… why??? I really do not understand why movies are made this way now. It used to be that you would see some blood splatter on the ground after you see the guy heading toward the fountain, so you got the picture that he probably hit the fountain, but now they just show the guy as if this was real and you are standing there watching it. I think it’s horrible and unnecessary. Movies like that just distract me and all I can think about while watching it is why on earth do they have to show every last disgusting detail? I honestly believe it desensitizes people. Not just movies but video games and especially the news.
Then Saturday we saw The Gridiron Gang which I loved. This is what movies should be about. I remember when I was in Cosmetology we had to go cut hair at the juvenile detention center and it was always so depressing. I always wonder what happened to these kids, what went wrong to make them act the way they do. And sometimes I wonder what happened to them after they got out. It’s just so sad, I wish I could so something to help kids like that but I get so attached to people that I think it would be very hard to do. It was somewhat scary to go there also. The boys would be in these cells, like on this movie, and they would stand at the window and yell things and pound on the glass and they would come out one by one and get their hair cut. It’s amazing they sent female cosmetology students there to cut their hair. Anyway this movie was extremely good so I recommend it.
Well I am craving an ice cold Coke so I think I’m off to go get one. 
Oh by the way… I’ll be testing on Friday to see if we got pregnant this time. Cross your fingers for me!

We saw Little Miss Sunshine last night and I loved it. I thought it was just so, so good. I wish I could tell you all about it but I don’t want to ruin it! It’s really good though. So, go see it!
I bought this shirt yesterday. I thought it was SO funny! :cute: I saw it at the store and I was like :lmao: that is the funniest shit ever!
Wow I just read an email from my Aunt telling me that my Great Grandma #1 was in a car accident and totaled her car! She is ok but she’s pretty banged up I guess
She’s 88 so that scares me. Then she goes on to say that my Great Grandma #2 is having congestive heart failure and is in the hospital. She’s 90. I think I’m the only one I know with two Great Grandparents. Could you even imagine being 90??? I can’t even being to think what that is like. If I live to be 90 that will be the year 2074. Holy crap! :shock:
I didn’t know Nip/Tuck started already! I love that show. I miss watching The OC. It’s just not like it used to be. I quit that half way through last season. Nip/Tuck still keeps my attention though. :tv: It just finished downloading… gotta go watch it!
