Manic Monday Vol. 9

 (23 Weeks Pregnant/6 Months, with Twins) 

MANIC MONDAY ~ Have to catch an early train, got to be to work by nine. And if I had an air-o-plane I still couldn't make it on time. 'Cause it takes me so long just to figure out what I'm gonna wear...Blame it on the train but the boss is already there....

Highlights of last week included:
~Seeing one of my babies (Baby A's) little face for the very first time.  Because we're having twins we have tons of doctor's appointments and ultrasounds with specialists.  The appointments are long and hard to balance with our work schedules...but it's great knowing that they're getting so much care.  On Thursday we had another special ultrasound at the Fetal Diagnostic Center and had an hour and a half ultrasound.  The specialists were looking at the babies hearts and taking sizes on everything.  At one point "Baby A" was turned in the perfect position and they were able to get a photo of her beautiful little face.  Justin and I both oohh and awwwwed out loud when we saw her perfect little face pop up on the big screen... we saw her little button nose and sweet little lips, and it took my breath away. 
~Fabulous J.Starr Wedding Day...loved being back in season, loving working with my team. 
~Impromptu visit with our dear friends Tony & Jacquie Tuttle....loved catching up with them.
~Celebrated my Little Brother's 22nd Birthday on Sunday, can't BELIEVE he's all grown up.

Last week I learned:
~Ugghh... last week was tough. Several ups and downs with the home hunting process... so stressful.  Panic started to set in, but we have to continue to have patience.

New fab finds:
~~Had a fabulous time celebrating my girlfriend Naseem's Birthday at the Brush Bar in Scottsdale, seriously SO MUCH FUN!  I highly reccomend it to everyone... I was shocked by how much I liked my painting.

Feeling Appreciative:
~For family & friends & my beloved clients......that's all that really matters.
~For my sweet clients Judy (Mother of the Bride) and Tiffany (Bride) who brought me gifts for the babies at their Entree Tasting on Saturday.  I'm amazed by how thoughtful people are, especially in times of their own big life changing events...it just means so much.

Confession:  I'm tired.  I just want to sleep in my bed all day.  I worked six days last week, which I can never do again during this pregnancy.  Carrying around these little babies is getting a little harder..but I hate to miss out on things.  And I know once the babies are here, I will be really slowed down.    It's a hard balance, and it's scary knowing how many life changes we will soon be going through... but I'm excited, and feeling so grateful.
