Ridiculous...

What's ridiculous you ask?  Well...
1.  How much I heart Edward.  That's right, I'm a Twilight fanatic.  I've read the books and saw the movie last night with my sis and Martha- two other self-proclaimed fanatics.  I can't get over how great the books are!  The movie was super sweet-- cheesy at times :) but good!!!  I think I imagined things in my head waaaay cooler than how they were on the movie-- like how Edward is super fast (he is a vampire, you know!), so in the movie when it showed him in "fast motion" it gave me the giggles... like I said, he looked way cooler running in my head.  Anyway...

2.  that Reese and Riley are sleeping allll night (9-6), yet I'm more tired now than when I was getting up with them!

3.  that RSV/Flu season is STILL not over.  (T-minus 32 days and counting!)

4.  that I have lost 23 lbs, but STILL have 15 to lose!!!!!!!!  I've hit a darn plateau!  I shouldn't complain because my babies are absolute miracles and I'm thrilled to have them and with having babies comes gaining weight, but... I've never in my life watched what I've eaten or even... worked out consistently.  I just haven't needed to.  Well, ladies, I need to now.  With the weather so wishy-washy, I haven't walked with the girls (and dog) everyday, but hope to every day soon.  And when sick season is over and we're out and about, hopefully that will help too.  Ugggh!  Satan loves to attack us with petty things- doesn't he?  

5. that I gained nearly 40 pounds in 8 months- ha!!  Yes, I had twins, BUT... they were 2 and 3 pounds when I had them!  :)

6. that I just admitted number 4 and 5 to you... now I have to be held accountable! ha! :)

Happy Friday, friends!!!  I LOVE Friday nights- Richey and I eat sushi and watch Ghost Whisperer and love on our babies... love little family traditions. :)

I love Ghost Whisperer, the boys and I watch it and Jesse thinks it's cheesy, so he usually plays pool until its over!

You'll get the weight off...especially once those baby girls are running around and you're chasing them. :)

Have a great Friday evening with your hubby and babies.

And thank you for praying and for your encouragement...you're a doll!

((HUGS))

i gained that much weight with 1, haha. for what it's worth, i promise it comes off. give it time and keep up those good walks. they are so good mentally and physically!

First of all, it's natural to heart Edward. He's the Johnny Depp of the fantasy world, except even better!

Secondly, it is my understanding that 40 pounds is just a reality when you are pregnant, and that it comes off eventually. I actually have a couple of friends who gained in the 60's, and that was with 1. Crazy!

Thirdly, I have recently discovered sushi. What is your favorite kind?

While Jill was a rather large baby (9lbs, 3oz), but I am pretty sure that doesn't explain the SIXTY pounds I gained when I was pregnant with her.

Yes, it is definitely natural to heart Edward. I still call myself Mrs. Jennifer Belanger-Cullen.

HA!!!! :)

Amy, you are gorgeous! INside and out. Don't worry about those darn pounds! You're right- someone bad is giving you something to be negative about when you have three miracles in your family. Oh, three and a half- can't forget about cali!!! :)

It will come off! :) I gained 55 lbs and I just got down to my weight before babies about 1 month ago. :) YEs, they are worth it!
Reese and Riley are precious!!!!!
