Real Life...: Surprise!! (a post that is late, was in my draft folder)

WOW, I had this in my draft box. I figured I went to the trouble to write it so I might as well post it. nothing like 7 months late. LOL.

Where to even begin! May 22, 2012 we figured our life was going to change forever! But, we didn't know that it was going to be a 180degree turn with a back flip, front handspring, cartwheel, and lots of nausea!!!!

I was debating on how to present this to the world. I thought of saying...
1. whoever said 1+1=2 LIED, it's 4!!!!
2. Heickert, Party of 4!!
3. god doesn't give you anything you can't handle.
4. OMG we're having twins.....

Yes, Ryan and I are having twins!!!! Due in January 2013! (but these beauties came 12 weeks early!)

Freaking awesome, scary, amazing, and thrilling!!! Except for the gianormous amounts out nausea that I have been having since about week 6. Currently, 10 weeks (though, i'm not posting this till about week 13-14 lol). But I have to write it now, because I am forgetting everything except my name these days!

Let me bring you up to date- Currently july 1, 2012- 10 weeks.
May 22 we found out I was pregnant thanks to a little home pregnancy test. The tears came flowing and we were (still are) so happy!!!! We went for your first ultrasound in June. That's when we saw 2 bubbles! I looked at Ryan and the screen and said, "huh, whats that?" The tech said, " thats multiples." I laughed, cried, laughed, cried and both together!!! And NO, ryan didn't pass out! LOL

Been to the doctors a few times since and they are doing great! Both growing together at the same rate, HR strong too!

Next topic- Am I still paleo?
Yes, but I say loosely right now. I was desperate and tried some grain things (Ryan is not happy) when I was really sick.Thinking that they would help. PEOPLE LIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing helps!!! saltines, crackers, bread..... nope!!!! I tried and crossed it off the list. I have had some cheese in things too. Really not craving anything sweet wise. Just butter! LOL.

Mainly, my meals are like this....
B-2-3 fried eggs with broccoli slaw and fruit (banana, mango, berries or grapefruit)
S- nuts or veggies
L- salad with meat or burgers!!!
S- fruit or anything that will satisify me.
D- salad, meat, veggies, and YONANAS!!!!!! OMG best thing ever! there was a time when I couldn't eat dinner, and would go right to the YONANAS!!! it's a food processor thing that smushed frozen fruit! Bed bath and beyond for $50! use a coupon!

I know I need to tighten up the eating. I have a decafe lemon tea in the morning sometimes and drink tons of water in the day.

Sleep??
Actually, I'm writing this between naps.... sleeping about 14-16 hours a day! I think it's a lot because there are 2 little critters in there.....

Weight?
I think I gained 2-3 lbs. I actually lost 4 in the first week after i found out. So technically i didn't gain any yet! But when I do..... IT'S GOING TO BE LOTS APPARENTLY..... twins is 25-45. EEKKK!!!
So i'm kissing this goodbye for now :x

And welcoming the belly!!
