It's 4am and I have been up, wide awake, for the last half hour. What is up with that?! I'm constantly tired, yet the last few nights around this time I've woken up from random pains and not been able to go back to sleep for awhile. Not fair!
Last Thursday I ended up having to go the the ER...abulance ride and all. I think it was the first time since I was a little girl! I have been feeling weak and a little dizzy, but figured it was because I haven't been able to eat much these past couple weeks. I ended up getting very dizzy and disorientated on Thursday afternoon while out. They diagnosed me with virtigo and dehydration. Aparently virtigo is an inner ear thing and can make you feel pretty sick and dizzy. They gave me meds and lots of iv fluids and sent me home to have an "easy" weekend. Unfortunately, this was my big truffle weekend, which made relaxing hard. Nate has been great, and really stepped up to help me with the truffles. I finally finished them last night, with a big sigh of relief!
Ayla has really been testing her boundaries lately. She goes through periods of being the sweetest little girl around, to devil child on a sugar high in no time! Haven't figured out the best way to deal with her tantrums yet... but I'm working on it! ;) This morning was interesting. We have been semi-potty training her. Trying to catch her before she poops and make her poop on her potty, but really have been pretty slack about the whole thing. She doesn't tell us when she is going to poop, but lets us know afterwards b/c she hates the feel of a poopy diaper. This morning she slept in late, which was great, but woke us up at 9am by screaming! Nate ran upstairs to get her and SURPRISE.....naked poopy baby! She had unzipped her pj's and taken her diaper off AFTER she pooped! Luckily most of the mess was contained inside the pj's. So gross! I'm just praying this doesn't turn into a regular morning adventure now that she knows how to do it! I guess it's time for potty boot camp and time to consider looking into a toddler bed....when did my baby grow up?!
Well, thats all for now random readers. Just another update into my crazy little life. Time to go try and get some sleep!

Surprise-It's Twins!
First, let me start by saying that I can't keep a secret to save my life. We had planned on waiting to tell everyone for at least another few weeks, if not months. But, I am just bursting with excitement, and nervousness, and need to share it all!
A few days before Thanksgiving I realized I was a day or so late, figured it was nothing, but went and took a pregnancy test anyways. I took it, thought it was negative and threw it away. Looked at it later and could see a very faint line. Took another one the next day, and another faint line. Holy crap, I was pregnant! I called my doctor and scheduled bloodwork. When my bloodwork came back it showed some interesting numbers. My progesterone level was low again, so they put me on supplements. My hcg level started on the lower side on the first test, but in 3 days went up x6 when they would expect it to only double. My doctor mentioned that it can be an indicator of a multiple pregancy and set me up for an ultrasound appointment. Today was the big day to get the ultrasound this morning. Sure enough, two little sacs with two little babies, and two little flickering heartbeats. Amazing. I'm still in shock, and a bit freaked out, but also very excited. I am just praying for a very uneventful pregnancy. Please let this pregnancy go smoothly....
Here is our very first picture of our little jellybeans!

Bad blogger
Where does time go? So much has happened lately and yet I keep putting off updating here. One reason is I keep going back and forth trying to figure out if I want to make my blog private or not. But oh well, time to update.
On Thanksgiving my parents got surprised with a home makeover! They were nominated by a bunch of teachers that my dad works with. They have been working on the porch and yard this past week, and today they had to move into a hotel for 4 days while they makeover the inside of the house. The "unveiling" is on sunday, and I can't wait to see what they've done! I am so happy for my parents, they definitely needed this desperatly!
One of my best friends ended up having her baby earlier than expected last week via emergency c-cection. I have been worried sick about her and her little boy all week, but they seem to be doing fairly well now and on the road to recovery. She has been through so much with all her children, and I just wish she would get a break! Her baby boy is absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait to meet him!
Christmas is going to be tough this year for us. Ayla is the only one we are buying presents for, and even she isn't getting very much :( Nate's hours were cut at his job and money has been really tight. We are going further into debt with every passing month, and this month I was forced to pay bills with credit... I just don't know what to do. I'm doing odd jobs when I can, and Nate is trying to find a new job, but something needs to give soon. I had to apply for heating assistance this year and it was such a blow to my ego. I just never imagined us in this situation. We actually ended up running out of heat this weekend b/c I was hoping the heating assistance would go through before we ran out. Unfortunatley, it didn't go through yet, so I was forced to buy oil with my credit card and than got a fee for boiler service since we ran out. We are just praying that Nate gets a new job very soon, b/c one way or another we are going to have to move out of this house very soon.
Ayla is doing well. She is growing so fast it amazes me. I look at her now and I don't see a baby anymore, it's so weird to see her little brain at work. She still isn't saying many words, but she understands everything we say and really tries to communicate with us. I really think she is going to end up needing speech therapy.
Project Sweet Pea is continuing to grow! We just added two new projects to our group. 10 projects in all! I am so happy and honored to have such amazing women working with us! I love being able to give people the opportunity to help others :)
I have also been going through some personal things that I'm not ready to share quite yet...but will soon. So stay tuned ;)
