The Curse part 1

i was going to write an entry about my pregnancy with my twins, who are currently 7 1/2 months old. i started going through all of my iphone photos i had taken throughout and realized, there is NO WAY i can write just ONE entry to tell this story. it's a NOVEL!

but i realllllly wanna share it. so i've decided i will just have to share it little by little.

my pregnancy was so HORRID that i wasn't able to blog much during it.

like, i was sick EVERY, SINGLE, DAY of it horrid.

and i'm not kidding.

and my girls went FULL TERM for twins

38 weeks

of sheer misery

now, would i change a thing? NEVER!!!!! they were worth EVERY SINGLE rancid minute of it.

but it was something for the books. something i want to share, in case any of you other momma's out there are struggling. i feel like i was born to be a "mom" but i do not feel like i was born to be "pregnant".

the photo above is a series of shots i took making silly faces on the day i should have known something was up. the day i should have known i was pregnant.

i will NEVER forget how EXHAUSTED i was just spending the afternoon with my friend Abby's 4, nearly 5 year old son, Kai. i was a nanny for years of THREE boys. i'm the oldest of 5. i grew up baby-sitting mass amounts of kids.

one boy for 3 hours should have been a piece of cake!?!

yet i remember draaaaagggging. trying so hard to keep my eyelids open.

so, i guess technically the first 4-6 weeks weren't pure torture because on this day i was just plain old tired.

it would be about 2 weeks later that the true AGONY would begin.

i had NO IDEA what i was in for....

i think that's enough for today:)

i love you Lucy & Sky

YOU WERE SOOOO WORTH IT

xo, mama

spoons in mouths!

okay, it's just some rice cereal but still! eating from a spoon?

it's pretty fun and the first time Sky ate she was VERY suspicious, as you can see in the photo in the bottom right:)

Lucy went after the spoon with the determination to eat the ENTIRE utensil! i can't let her play with the spoon after eating because she was constantly gagging herself.

just growing up every day these 2 are!

i have a song i sing, that i made up, and it's more of a yell- song and it's horrible but it goes like this:

"YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND...... YEAHHHHHH!!!!"

so, there's that.

these 2 truly are my best friends:)

xox, Rachel Lucy & Sky
