Two years ago today, at this very time, I was in full blown labor, in pain, and more nervous then I think I have ever been. "What was delivery going to be like, I don't think I can handle this pain, I just want everything to go ok..."
At 6:30pm 2 years ago I met the most bueatiful baby boy I have ever seen in my life. My wonderful son Frederick Taylor Hervey IV was born. I remember the emotions of that day like it was yesterday. I remember how overwhelmed I was, I couldn't believe that big baby had just minutes ago been in my belly. He was truly amazing. While the weeks that came definitely tested my strength, every day since then has been a miracle.
I can't help be reminisce today. I love that child more then I have ever love anything before in my life, and I am so thankful that he was the one chosen to be Ricky and my first child.
I woke him up this morning with a happy birthday song, we picked up some cupcakes and birthday plates for school, sat down and had a muffin together, and then I dropped him off at school. I haven't stopped smiling yet. Just watching him fulfils me!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TY! Mommy and daddy love you SO much!
Remodel pics...and just one cute one!

Offically 20 weeks...
Wow, this pregnancy has been going fast! I am offically more then past the halfway point for twins, and honestly, couldn't be happier. I can definitely feel the different between carrying one and two babies. Ty was hard because he was sitting on my nerve the entire time, but these girls are hard just because I get so tired so easy. I am out of breath after walking up one flight of stairs, I am exhausted like never before at the end of every day, and I find myself counting every gram of protein I eat to be sure I give these kids the best possible brains and muscles :).
There are some serious upsides though as well. The moving with these kids happens a ton more often. If one isn't moving, the other is, so I never have to fear that there may be something wrong. You can totally feel the difference between one baby moving and the other, as it is in totally different places within seconds or minutes of each other.
I am getting REALLY excited about meeting these girls. As much hesitation as I was having in the begining is slowly being taken over by excitment. Though I know it will be really hard, I can't wait to have these two adorable girls here, I just want to meet them and see them start to grow. Plus I want Ty to meet them, while I think he understands they are in there, he just thinks that is more of a reason to beat up on and jump on my stomach. A true brother :)
The remodel is offically starting today. I packed up the kitchen Saturday and Sunday, and Ricky moved everything into the living room. Our living room offically looks like a storage unit, and our kitchen is completely bare. I will attach some pics once I take some of it demoed today. Should be bare walls by the time I get home from work :)

Long time no talk to...
GOD, I am such an incredible slacker. I started this sucker and just can't keep up with it.
Let's quickly run down the family.
Ty:
He has been doing ok. He came down with Pneumonia a week ago, and it has been a struggle for him ever since. His cough keeps him up all night, and the poor kid is just down right exhausted. Last night I was up listening to him cough for 2 hours, I went in his room and sat by his bed for about 30 minutes, propping his head up with more pillows and trying to coax some water down to see if that would sooth him, but nothing worked. The hack just kept on coming and I found myself getting madder and madder at the cough. I was laying in bed yelling internally for the cough to just leave him the hell alone. I have never felt so helpless before. I feel even more helpless then I did when he had his infection in his ankle, likely because this time he just seems more uncomfortable, and last time it wasn't trouble taking time of work. We cried together on the way into work this morning. I felt so guilty for not lettings him sleep in, but things are just so busy in the office. Then I feel guilty for making work a priority. Then I feel guilty for not being able to do anything to help the cough. I ended up just getting mad all over again, REALLY PISSED. I just want him to be comfortable again!!
Ricky:
Ricky is doing well. Still has a job which is good. They have moved him to 32 hour work weeks, but that is ok with me for right now. Our remodel starts Monday, so having him around to pack up and help extra days is just nice, as then I don't have to do as much. He has also joined the safety committee at work, and even went above and beyond and worked nights a couple times to try to keep good standings at work during these difficult times. He is doing rock star and I am super proud of him.
The Girls:
The girls are doing good, and we found out Tuesday they are officially girls! We go in next week for our 20 week work up, but the doctor took a sneak peek for me a bit early. They are moving like crazy, and are already resembling their brother. Between Ricky and I, we sure make some active children. The doctor was amazed at how active they were during the ultrasound, especially considering how short on room they are in there. I have seen several women pregnant at 5 months recently, and I hate them all. They are hardly showing, and I look at least 8 months prego. I still have three more months to go... start opening up those door jams.
Me:
Things are good with me. I am stressed, but what is new... Work is insanely crazy, INSANE, I feel like I am missing beats right and left with everything going on. The house is about to be torn apart which stresses me out, as I have so much left to do to prepare for that. The girls will be here in roughly 3 months, and I haven't purchased a single thing for them or even cleared out their room. Ty is sick, and I can't fix it, which bums me out most of all. I have to much to do, and a tired body that doesn't want to do any of it. Just got to write my to do list and start checking things off so I can get some peace :)
Love you all, sorry for the long update, and will hopefully have some new pics for folks next posting.
