Yes, it's time for an update!!!! Life has been going fairly well lately. Ummm... Let's see.. Been job hunting. Not going too well, but I'm going to keep at it. Not talking to my family right now cause some crazy shit is going down... Prpblems, problems,problems... And while I do love my family, I just want to get away from drama and all that craziness. i just want a life of peace and happiness. We switched their pediatrician. I called every day for two weeks trying to reschedule their appointment. I just kept getting an answering machine, I was like fuck that.
So now, the babies are going somewhere else. They have their first appointment with them coming up soon. Olivia can say three words now. She can say bye bye, ba ba, and mum mum. She's only said mum mum three times so far though. She can also wave bye bye. Violet, we think, has said ba ba. She can also give kisses and they are both crawling and into everything. they hold their own bottle and their own sippy cups. They've learned cause and effect also. They know when they drop something, we will pick that up.
Boy, is that fun or what!!! LOL They also are learning object permanence. They know if I leave the room, I will come back. I think they are turning into such sweet, adorable, intelligent little babies. I am soo proud of them and I know one day they will be remarkable women in the world that I will be very proud of. I want them to become strong, independent, loving women. I want them to know that I will be there for them no matter what happens in their lives and no matter what they ever do, I will never stop loving them.
I really don't want to raise them the way I was raised. I wasn't raised really bad, but it coulda been done differently. But then again, I guess there are things that every person wishes would've been done a different way when they were growing up. There are no guidelines for raising children. You just do the best you can. You have to alweays put them first, no matter what.
Getting pregnant and having twins has really made me grow up a lot. I'm not the same girl I was 1 year ago. I don't think I'll ever be that person again. I know it was the only thing that could have brought me out of the slump I was in and I thank God for them every day. They are the best part of my day. Their smiles brighten up the room, and when I'm upset about something, they are the only things that can cheer me up.
When I was younger, I used to always feel sorry for myself. I would always think why me, why is life so unfair. I was a bit of a whiner. LOL But when you have children, you don't have time to feel sorry for yourself. I've realized that everything happens for a reason whether it is good or bad and it happens to teach you a significant lesson. YUou may not know it at the time, but eventually it hits you, and then you're like, OHHHH!!! Thas why that happened. LOL. But yeah. I've went on long enough. Love all you guys and peace and love to all my peoples on here!!!!
P.S. Panini, I haven't got to call you yet, but I will. Miss you and hope to hang out with you again soon. Laters all!!!
