Back again...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas Holiday and that those celebrating the Festival of Lights are enjoying their time with family. We had a REALLY mellow, nice Christmas. I baked home-made rolls (I love kneeding bread, its very therapeutic) and ham, greenbeans and salad... a rather healthy dinner if I do say so myself... I had Mart1nellis sparkling cider with the kids and made a full on caviar service for an appetizer for my hubby... he LOVED it (that was the bulk of his Christmas gift... he wanted food and food related gifts and while he was expecting Doritos... he should have known better!)

Our anniversary is tomorrow... I already gave him his gifts for that too... (he's a bit of a pocket-knife enthusiast, so I found him a couple of very unique/interesting knives) and he was thrilled.

Life in my little corner of the world is good. I am still gaining weight, the belly is growing and I'm becomming more aware every day of the beings within. They can push and kick pretty hard now, tho still not really detectable from the outside... except when one pushes out with a head or bum and you can feel the hard lump just under my skin.

I have updated belly pictures here... everything from week 10 on... I'm really developing a pregnant belly now, there is no mistaking it. We are 20 weeks today, and I've gained about 23lbs from the start of the pregnancy. I am pretty pleased with that as studies have shown that its important to gain weight EARLY with twin pregnancies to ensure good birthweights for the babies (even if they're early).

I am not walking every day, but 3+ times a week is average. I can't seem to motivate myself to continue lifting anything other than laundry, dishes and my own kids (heh... not even them anymore!)... so I know my muscle is diminishing *sigh*. I do walk 5-10 flights of stairs every day as I walk around the office tho, so that helps. Honestly tho... its not like I don't know how to get it back, hehehe... you're gonna see some intensity out of me post-pregnancy that you haven't seen since the early days of Lexysmash... prepare for it... ;)

As for the domain and blog and such moving, it looks like I will probably be able to stay put... I just need to get some revenue going for my host by pimping his server to other blog-owners who would be willing to pay a small fee for fairly unlimited services. Its a Linux based server tho, so if you only know winders, it won't be of much use to ya.

Ok... I'd better get some work done before they fire my ass.
hugs and kisses and here's some motivation for ya:

The most common new years resolution in the US is to "get in shape, eat right, and exercise" or some variation of that... and 90% of those who "resolve" in the new year, have stopped trying by March.

Don't give yourself a new years resolution... give yourself a new year goal... and then figure out what small changes you can make... one each month, or each week... to get you there by this time next year. Adapt, Improvise, Overcome!

*kisses*
