Long or Short?

I have booked myself a haircut appointment in 2 weeks. Thinking about chopping it short again like last year because my boys have acquired a new skill, i.e. pulling my hair hard when I carry them unless I put my hair in ponytail and also my most hated season--> summer is coming.

See, I was just able to curl my hair again after letting it grow for a year-so now, should I just leave it and keep it long therefore I can play with it, or cut it short and don't worry about maintenance for another year? decision..decision.

Anyway, I had time to take some shots today though my boys suddenly cried for attention :D
It's been a while, so hope you enjoy them!

What's New in March

So yeah, March is almost over and the weather is warming up especially here in Texas.
I bought stuffs since February and I didn't even have a chance to take modeling pictures- well I haven't had a chance to wear them all anyway! See, I used to wake up really early before I'm off to work, took some pictures and post them before I head to the door. But look, I don't want to wake up too early these days hahah because an extra 5 minutes of sleep is so precious :-)

Anyway...once I get that extra sleep (even just an hour) I promise I will be more dilligent taking pictures. My babies are a little over 2 months old now, things will get less hectic and hopefully we will pass that the.first.3.months.are.the.hardest.phase (or was it 6?).

Here are some of the things I got-- I think I'm good for a while ;-)

4 Weeks on..

I think I'm coping pretty well with the lack of sleep since the twins are here. Sure I had my low moments but I know it's going to get better!
Anyway, while my sister still here, we went shopping at the Domain. I went pretty nuts..actually on a second thought, it wasn't too bad (damage wise). I got some nice goodies, it was good to be back to the shopping arena hehe.

Today my sister left me. I had to send her to the airport, back to Sydney, back to real world. And I miss her already. My boys definitely misses their aunt.

Hopefully I can take the boys to see her soon or vice versa! Probably before they turn 2 haha, not sure how hard to travel with twins in tow. Till next time my darling sister..muach!

Happy Twenty Eleven!

Happy New Year everyone!! Sorry I've been MIA for too long. Things are getting hectic since I'm going have my boys soon (15 more days to be exact- can you believe it???)
My mom and sister will be here in around 10 days or so, looking forward to it since I haven't seen them for about 1.5 years now. Then I have a lot of washing up to do, install car seats, do hospital tour (yep, I kept postponing it!), pack my bag and so on.

Overall, I'm doing fine and babies are getting chubby. Exactly 36 weeks today, working from home till the 14th then I'm off for maternity leave. My tummy is huge and I will show you later ;-)
People seems to be obsessed with my lack of weight gain still (13lbs total or 6kg), I think it's time for them to let it go lol. I am not going to add 20lbs in the next 15 days so I guess that's it. Those 13lbs are in my tummy and trust me, I have stretch marks to prove it.

On a "fashion" note, I bought my newborn photoshoot dress even if I'm not sure it's going to fit which is so typical me. Here is the pic of the Vivienne Tam dress and I got it from Gilt. The dress doesn't look fitted so I think I can get away with it. Do you think it's cute?

I'm Addicted to Babylegs

Seriously...do I need 12 pairs of Babylegs leg warmers? Yep, I bought 5 pairs few weeks ago and 7 pairs last night and the twins are not even here for another month or so and the warmers probably a little big for them as newborns-they need to give me chunky thighs!. 

Luckily they are all on sale, so DH can't roll his eyes ;-) From the look of it I may end up buying more haha!

Here are some pics of babies with their leg warmers. Super cute!

Missing Home!

No matter where I stay, I still rather stay at home. My own bed, bathroom and everything. Last day in San Antonio today- it was lovely (and I didn't have to clean/wash/tidy for few days) but yeah I want my pillows :D

Thought I post my last ODJ in San Antonio at 30w4d. Till next time~

Last Trip For 2010

I'm currently still in San Antonio, loving it here! I stayed at Hyatt Regency Hill Country Resort and everything is wonderful, so Xmas-ey even though Thanksgiving was only few days ago. I will post more pics later on, but this is me at 30w2d :D

Random Updates

I finally put a deposit for the twins' newborn photoshoot. After searching for quite a while, I finally decided to go with Forever Bliss Photography. I so cannot wait! You can check out her website here.

Ooh I need to post my pic soon too. I'm 28w1d today, 10 more weeks to go yay! I wanted to post pics last week, but ugh.. I've been having this stubborn cold after the flu shot. Normally I would ask for antibiotics and cold will go away in 2 days. But since being prego means you cannot take meds as you please, then it has lasted this long-almost 10 days to be exact.

Then the aftermath of failing the glucose test the first time made me change the way I eat. I lost weight together with being sick. Now my OB is concerned because I'm still at 7lbs (3kg) same as 4 weeks ago.
No good he said, because I have 2 babies inside my tummy. He ordered me to eat any junk foods that I can think of. I thought it's funny.
All my life I wanted to be skinny and be a size 2US (I think size 0 for me is a little far fetch) but I never could. I always linger around size 6US which is fine by me either but I'm the type of person that gain weight easily. But how weird that now I'm being told to go burger crazy. Such a life hehe.
Anyway I'm trying. I've been indulging on cakes from La Madeleine, ice cream from Sonic, big chunk of steaks and umm..now I'm thinking what to have tomorrow ;-)

What else- work wise, still busy. Things are looking up and hoping to work few days a week from home once I'm done with the maternity leave.

No big plan this Thanksgiving or for my birthday. DH and I will have a short getaway that long weekend (will post pics for sure) and probably just dinner for my birthday.

How about you? What are you going to do this holiday?

xoxo

Birthday Wishlist

I may get myself a birthday present soon (read: I want to buy next week though my birthday is after Thanksgiving haha). For once I will not buy any babies items this birthday month (sorry boys mommy will buy you more cute things after this).

One year too late, I think I'm going to get Hunter & Jimmy Choo boots in darling Black! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

Look at the look on her face when she got hers, I want to be that happy too!

xoxo

Not Really There Yet

Today I'm posing in our not so ready nursery room. Still plenty to do but the main items we need are there, just need to set them up properly. One thing, I woke up this morning feeling huge haha and I wonder if the 3 hrs GTT that I had yesterday may caused it ;-) The result won't be in till Monday or Tuesday oh well..just hope for the best. The experience yesterday wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, maybe because I know what to expect.

So back to huge, I'm only 25w2d, I think I'm making up for the lost time! All these times people kept telling me my belly is too small for twins, but now you are asking for it, ha!

Anyway, DH and I went to have Indian for lunch, then grocery shopping at Costco and then we went to the mall for window shopping then we head to the cinema to watch Hereafter (Matt Damon). I love it, though the story is kinda sad-especially about the twin boys.

OK- enough of me yapping, these are the pics of me today :D

What's The Odd

that I failed my one hour GD test? Well..I flunked it (over for about 20+ pts). All these times every time I have a medical check up, my blood sugar is low. My problem has always been cholesterol, sugar? nope, never.
In fact when I had my ER scare at 13 weeks and they checked my sugar, it was low as well.

So I'm on the 3 hours GTT next week, more glucose to drink and 4 blood tests within the 3 hours after I drink it. The nurse said to me, "bring your laptop or books, you are going to be here for at least 3.5 hours"...great (but maybe it's a good thing that I can finally read Breaking Dawn). And next Friday is suppose to be my day off, but I will spend it in my doctor's office.

Oh well, I don't want my babies to be too big so I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. So far their sizes are great, not too small or not too big. I'm surprised when my nurse told me about the news, because I barely gained any weight, only 7lbs (3kg) so far at 24 weeks. I thought you gain weight rapidly if you have gestational diabetes?

Anyway, I hope I pass the test next week. My poor babies didn't sleep last night after I had the one hour test, too much sugar I guess.

Low carbs and low sugars from now on then!

Till next week~

15 Weeks Left :D

I'm exactly 23 weeks today--getting much much bigger and I don't know how I got to be this size in my sleep haha.
But that said, I have only 15 weeks to go--yes, I'm not following the general rule of 40 weeks due to twins.
I don't have much complaints beside it starting to get uncomfortable to bend over, getting out of bed or walking around the mall for too long (crazy right??).

My mommy and my middle sister will be here in mid January. I'm so looking forward to it just sadly I cannot take them around for shopping with 2 newborns in tow, I have to ask DH to drive them around.

GD test next week and hopefully I will pass it. I love sweets and I probably only can give it up the day before the test (talk about cheating!).

Oh..DH and I planning a little vacation during the Thanksgiving holiday and my birthday-supposedly my last vacation for the year with just the two of us. Next time, it will be 4!

I've been buying quite a bit for myself, mainly tops and cardigans. The rest I'm still trying to squeeze in my pre-pregnancy outfits like today's ODJ where I wear no maternity stuffs whatsoever.
No shoes unfortunately because I don't know if my shoe size will stay the same after this or not--I'm dying for some though!. So far I don't have cankles problem so fingers crossed! because I would hate to not be able to wear all my shoes ever again.

Anyway till next update!
