OMGoodness!
It has been four months. And a lot has happened. We moved into our house, finally. I am 20 weeks pregnant with boy/girl twins and I am finally starting up my doula business.
Our house closed escrow on February 11th. That day took forever to come. We didn't move in right away though. A few updates needed to be done to the house. We scraped the popcorn ceilings, had all the walls re-plastered and painted. Got new carpet in the bedrooms and put in new lighting fixtures. Then we moved. All in two days. We still have to update the bathrooms and parts of the kitchen but that can wait. In the next couple of weekends we are going to start on the front and back yards. We already removed lots of overgrown bushes and trees so no we need to get the grass looking good and flowers planted.
Like I said I am half way done with this pregnancy. We found out at 12 weeks that they were a boy and a girl. L&G are thrilled and her first thought was a girl for me and a brother for Lachlan. I am growing everyday and some days I look hugh just depending on how they are laying. I feel them move little bits here and there but the little girls placenta is on the front of my uterus and is blocking most of what I should be able to feel. We are due labor day weekend but anytime after my 30th birthday in August the will be welcome.
I have my first doula client. She is due any day now. I hope that I don't suck at being a support person but I have the knowledge I just have to put it into action. I also have my web page up. It will change over the next few months as I am getting used to html codes. So check out my page and if you know of anybody who is looking for a birth doula send them my way. Bellies N Babies

December
The month started out with me beginning my meds for another transfer. Had an ultrasound and some blood work done then waited.
The girls had their last week of school the same week I transfered. We were lucky enough that we were able to see Trystan's Christmas program at school before we had to leave for a few days. The 16th Nick and I drove up to Alameda to stay the night with Lisa and Gerry. We got to their house and played with Lachlan for a bit before they got home. He doesn't seem to care much for me but went right to Nick :)
After L's bedtime Lisa and I went to the club and I got a massage while she relaxed in the spa. We both enjoyed our time and felt much more relaxed after. Then we went home and ate pizza :) Nick and Gerry had been talking and catching up. So we talked a bit more then headed to bed.
The next morning I had a fruit salad with lots of pineapple for breakfast. We got on the road at 9:30 for our 10:30 transfer and still didn't make it. It is usually a 25 minute drive but there had been an accident and road work going on. Lisa called and let them know we were running a little behind and they had no problem. So at 11:30, an hour after we were supposed to have our transfer, we transfered 2 beautiful blasts. One was in the beginning stages of hatching and the other looked great.
I started testing 4 days later. And got a positive on the first test that I took.
They progressively got darker
and the next day I got this
So now tomorrow morning I will have my beta done. I hope our numbers are strong and not too high.

Buying a House
Why does it have to be so hard? They said this was a buyers market. I don't believe that, not after 5 months. I have given up. I am tired of all the crap the banks pull. They are in it for money but when you want to give them your money they act like fools.
I can't even find a house to rent. I need to get out of this apartment. It was supposed to be a one month thing and now we have been here 3 months going on 4.
I wish I had known when I was 16 that credit cards are bad, and not to take out student loans. We don't have much credit card debt maybe $800 at most. But when we first got married times were rough and that's how we survived. Now it's biting us in the butt. And don't get me started on student loans. Oh how i wish we had free education in the States. And look where going to a private school got me. A stay at home mom that has never finished her degree and is living in an apartment. When are we going to grow up and be able to settle down?
