So About That...

Totally been a slacker....but hey- I'm a mom of twins and I'm prepping for my first bikini bodybuilding contest. Not to mention my house is km the market and I'm house hunting in the hill country 😁 lots going on!

Here's a few iPhone pic updates from the last 4 months!

Growing and Growing

You know what's cooler than one teething baby? Two teething babies! NOT!!! They are growing like weeds and now at 4.5 months they are teething. And oh boy, what an adventure. 

The twins are making leaps and bounds in their milestones. Talking up a storm, smiling, rolling over, sleeping through the night, and recognizing each other (and smiling and talking to each other). They have even started on foods (rice cereal and oatmeal)

Life as a stay at home mommy is still awesome. It has it's challenging days but I finally realized I've just got to put myself on a schedule. It's been much easier since I've put one in play.

Oil and gas is not doing so well. Which directly effects our family since Gibby works in the industry. He actually got laid off a coule weeks ago....luckily he had something else lined up and was employed two days later. Anyways, the next person I hear saying that "gas is so cheap and its amazing" I will punch in the face. End of rant. Gibby is actually in China right now (for a week) with his new job.

CrossFit is amazing. I'm back strength wise and just need to work on my cardio. In hitting Pr's (personal records) left and right and actually just competed in my first RX competition with my bestie. We did great and placed middle of the pack.

Here's a few photos to catch you up to speed:

That's all for now!

Catching Ya Up to Speed....

Christmas has come and gone....and boy was it an eventful one. I'm blessed that my sister has moved in with us and over the Christmas break my niece and nephew were here as well.  Unfortunately, on Christmas Even my nephew went to the ER is severe pain (Dr's initially said it was a stomach virus).  Sadly, it was his appendix and it had ruptured....poor little dude spent Christmas Day (and 5 following days) in the hospital after an emergency appendectomy.  Good news is that he's recovered and back to his old rambunctious self!

We rung in the New Year like the wild party animals that we are....HA! David and my nephew played Plants vs. Zombies on the iPad and my sissy, niece, and I watched the neighborhood fireworks. The twins....slept through it all.

We made it almost 4 months without any baby sickness. But of course, the inevitable happened. Poor Brooklynn woke up one day congested and running a fever of 102. I freaked out and called the pediatrician but he was off that day. I was able to give her tylenol, which brought the fever down temporarily. We got an appointment for the first thing the following morning. Turns out Brooklynn AND Westin both had RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus). Most babies under the age of 2 contract the virus but it's most dangerous in preemies and babies under 6mo. of age...and the twins are both.  The Dr. said the watch their breathing and keep the fever under control or they would have to be admitted into the hospital. There aren't any prescriptions that can help, just keep the babies comfortable. Of course, David was out of the country in Canada so this mama got to juggle two sickly babies for a few days. It wasn't easy but we all survived and thankfully it's passed.

Two pitiful babies wanting mommy cuddles

I can't believe the twins are 4mo. old already. They are making leaps and bounds and hitting milestones everyday. I'm scared to blink because I know I'll miss something. It's crazy how fast times flies.

Here are a few pics from my iPhone from the last month...
