Hey everyone. Life has been really busy here and Mommy and I are finally in the swing of our fall schedule. It's keeping us hopping. But Mommy regrets she hasn't popped out her camera much lately so there aren't any photos associated with this post. Sorry!
Last week was busy with Mommy's birthday on Thursday, which she celebrated with our usual Thursday evening home group. Daddy bought home roses and a cheesecake (two of Mommy's favorite things) which was super nice. Mommy began the day by mourning the fact that she was 33 but got over it quickly. Then on the weekend Mommy went to a Women's Retreat for our church. The teaching focused on forming "Christ-like friendships" and Mommy thoroughly enjoyed it. And I enjoyed spending time with Daddy because he took me to the zoo AND to In-n-Out for dinner. Whoo whoo! On Sunday the church had it's "Fall Kick-Off" complete with an after church BBQ and carnival. I had a blast in the bounce house and water slide.
Then this week we began our new fall routine!
Monday: a regular playdate.
Tuesday: Mommy's new "moms group" and playtime for me.
Wednesday: Mommy works and I have preschool.
Thursday: Toddler Time at the library (flexible).
Friday: free day.
Now that Mommy's energy is back up, she figured we'd better enjoy our freedom to get out and do things before the twins come. And Mommy tends to go a little squirrelly if she's stuck at home too much.
On the twin newsfront... they are now 17 weeks along. Mommy had an appointment last week and they're looking great. The doctor's only complaint was that Mommy lost half a pound from her previous appointment, which means she's only gained 3.5 pounds since pre-pregnancy. So, she was given strict instructions to eat more. And being a good patient, Mommy has been in full compliance. She'll take one for the team...

good job for listening to doctor's orders and eating more! bring on the cheesecake!! hope you continue to have more energy and feeling great!
Life sounds great! Did you get my package yet?
Happy Birthday Amy. Sounds like you are staying busy and having fun!!
Glad to hear that you are feeling better! I wouldn't worry too much about the weight, 3500 calories a day, or the 16 glasses of water... which sounds impossible anyway. Making healthy choices and ENJOYING this awe-some experience is paramount. As you said eariler, it will be over before you know it! We are thinking of you all, The Umbargers
PS Mom only gained 20 pounds for the 2 of us AND we were born only 9days before our official due date. She was out fishing on the river the day before she went into labor...she said that she just made healthy lifestyle choices. Nothing special and a very healthy pregnancy... here's to yours!!!
1/2 a lb less isn't a big deal did you ever think that the scales could be off?
Amy,
Glad to hear things are going so well! With pregnancy #2, I had only gained 5 pounds at 26 weeks (of course Shea was a singleton, so it's not exactly the same as your situation!). I think with the second pregancy, you are so busy chasing around the kiddo you already have that you get a ton of extra excercise! Anyways, it's fabulous that everybody is healthy and that you have Dr.'s orders to eat! Can I get one of those prescriptions too?! :)
Love, Krista
