Well, if you read the comment after my last post, you saw that my cousin Hollie wants me to write more about myself. I don't know if I can do that!! I have been so focused on my little guys, that they really are who I am at this point. I don't say that as a negative thing either. I am so proud of them, and proud to be a Mom. And I am still at the point where I don't know how to have a conversation without bragging about them or telling a story about something that they did. As much as it probably annoys some people (especially those without kids), I love it!! But for Hollie, and for myself, I am going to try...at least in this post!! :)
Well, I will start off by saying that I love Dennis, but I am talking about a different Dennis than who I married...Denis Leary. If you aren't familiar with Denis Leary or his comedy...come out from under your rock, go to youtube...or just google him! You will find out that he is rudely honest, politically INcorrect, curses worse than any sailor or trucker you have ever heard, and is absolutely hilarious!
I am reading (almost done) his book "Why We Suck," and I think that EVERYONE should read it. Not only does the book make me laugh out loud (literally), but it validates a lot of what I think/feels. He just has the balls to say it! Not only that, but it has inspired me to write a little something of my own...Why We Also Suck (which I am somehow going to send him). Here is how I started it out:
"Why We Suck," written by Dr. Denis Leary in my opinion should be on a shelf in the bookstore right next to "What to Expect When You Are Expecting." Scratch that. It should REPLACE that nonsense. If you need a book to tell you that in the next nine months you are going to get fat, tired, and hormonal, perhaps you shouldn't have gotten pregnant! I am shamed to admit that I bought the book, but I am proud to say that I didn't read a single page. I will say that I read two books cover to cover when I found out that I was having triplets. But that is another topic to be discussed later.
People don't need a book to tell them that just because you are pregnant, you should still eat healthy. Not fast food three meals a day followed by a tray of brownies with the excuse, I can eat it because I am pregnant. Now, I am not the poster child of healthy eating, but it is common sense that what you eat/drink, the baby gets. You shouldn't need to read a book to have that knowledge.
People don't need a book to tell them that they need to quit smoking and drinking so you don't harm your child...JUST DO IT! I am so sick of people complaining that it is too hard to quit smoking during pregnancy; that it is too hard to give up wine during the pregnancy. If you aren't going to put your child first, then DON'T HAVE KIDS! Wear a freaking condom! Take a freaking pill! It is not that hard this day and age to NOT have kids. Hell, you can get the stuff for free!!
People need a book (such as the one by Denis Leary) where they can get a harsh dose of reality, and perhaps a kick in the ass! I have taken this opportunity to springboard off of his book. I would like to take this time to say that I do not have Denis Leary's approval or permission, but since these are my own words and not his, I guess it doesn't matter. Hope he doesn't mind!
You may want to argue that some women who get pregnant may be young, and not know everything that comes with having a baby. If that is the case, then you are probably talking about someone who hasn't even finished high school. Again, I will say that you can get birth control for FREE. Accidents happen and yadda yadda yadda...KEEP YOUR PANTS ON AND THERE WONT BE ANY ACCIDENTS! If you are too young to drive a car, you are too young to have sex. If you are too young, immature, and unintelligent to vote; you are too young for sex! I am so sick of hearing about kids having kids!
I am also sick of hearing about having 17 thousand kids at once. If God wanted you to have that many kids, he would have made you a dog. Now this is coming from someone who got pregnant (I am of age to drive, vote, drink, therefore an adult) with triplets. I did not get pregnant by IVF or by taking fertility drugs. It just happened. It also just happened, that one of the babies didn't make it past 12 weeks in my uterus. We were obviously extremely upset by the loss, but we knew that it was for the best. Our bodies aren't made to have that many kids...and our bodies are smart enough to realize the limitations! It is a shame that science has found a way to trick our bodies to think something else. I am not saying that I am against fertility treatments. I know people who have successfully had children this way. However, they didn't go to the doctor, spread their legs, and say "put 10 embryos in me and lets hope for the best!" What the hell do you think is going to happen?!? "I didn't know that I was going to have 4 or 5 or 8 kids!" MORON!
I am hopefully going to have more to follow, and will keep you updated when I write more. Hope I didn't piss you off too much!
Well Hollie, you asked about me...I guess this isn't really about what is going on in my life...more about what is going on in my head when I am not trying to figure out which bottle belongs to which twin...or trying to find the pacifier that Freddy just stole from one of the boys...or when I am running around playing with Freddy!

Freddy's update
Freddy went to the doctor yesterday for his well-baby visit. He is doing really good. Dr Anderson said that his eyes, ears, heart, and lungs are great. He is maintaining his growth curve; gaining 2 pounds and 2 inches. Now he is 25 pounds 2 ounces and 34 inches tall!! According to the doctor he is going to be around 6 ft tall when he is fully grown!! He definitely gets that from my side of the family! haha
Freddy making Pip a bucket-head! Pip is proud that his boy is going to be tall, just like him!

Well, yesterday I took the twins for their 2-month check-up. They are doing wonderful! They are both tracking with their eyes, responding to sounds, heart and lungs sound great, and they are growing a lot!! Liam is 22.25 inches long and weighs 12 pounds 5 ounces. RJ is 23.5 inches long and weighs 12 pounds 9 ounces. I am so proud of my babies!!

Hi, I am still here!!
Wow, it's have been a month since my last post. I guess I don't feel bad considering that I have been a bit busy!! Besides, everyone who reads this talking to me regularly either in person or on facebook!!
It has been quite an adjustment since the twins arrived, as you would have guessed. Dennis and I are starting to get into a rhythm, but it is far from perfect. The most important thing is that they are starting to sleep a bit better. And when I say starting, I mean for the last three nights!! For the most part they are doing extremely well! When you hear about twins, you usually hear about them being premature, or really small for their age, not eating well, etc. Not my boys!! They are growing like weeds; as they should considering how much they eat! They are measuring right where Freddy was at this point (two months old). They still look very much alike, and yes, we still mark their feet!
The Little Prince is such a great big brother. He loves to give hugs to his brothers and he is even starting to give them kisses. We found out when we went to Wilton Mall to play in the kids center that he is pretty protective of them too! There was a little girl trying to see inside the car seats and Freddy gently, but forcefully pushed her out of the way and then gave his brothers hugs!! Freddy is even trying to say 'brother!' On that same subject, Freddy can say Mom and Daddy. And he has been working on brother, stinky, and some other word that we haven't figured out yet.
Dennis is having a hard time since he went back to work. He feels that he is missing out on a lot; especially with Freddy. I just started working again myself. This is good for Dennis in the sense that he will have special time alone with the boys. But also, with me working, we can start thinking about Dennis giving up his second job. We would all love to have him home with us more!!
Freddy and I have been taking a beating this week. Sunday, I fell going down Mom and Dad's stairs while holding Freddy. He got pretty scared, but was fine. I, however, still have a HUGE bruise on my bum!! Freddy also took a header into Kathy's tray-tables Tuesday night. He has a gash on his forehead to prove it as well!
We are all getting VERY excited about the house. We close in less than a month!! Dennis and I have chosen the paint colors for all the rooms. We have to paint all but the kitchen, but we have plenty of time to do it. At least this way it will all be done before we move anything in! The first thing that I am going to do is clean it from top to bottom. Then Dennis and I are going to rip up the carpet in the office. We would like to see what condition the floors are in upstairs. If they aren't too bad we are going to pull them all up, sand, and stain. Otherwise we will leave the carpet and put it on the 5 year plan!
I am bringing the twins to the doctor tomorrow morning, so at the very least, I will put a small post letting you all know how it went. I will also be sure to put some pictures up tomorrow too (at work right now).
