Say my name, Say my name!

I am so excited!! Eugene and I have finally decided on names for the twins. It really is a big decision naming someone for the rest of their life. We can't wait to welcome

CAROLINE BEAUVAIS PUGH

&

FARNSWORTH "WORTH" EUGENE PUGH, IV

I know many of you are scratching your head at Worth's name. But, Eugene is the III and it really means a lot to him to have a IV. So, in the words of Vince Vaughn, what my baby wants my baby gets! :)

Caroline's middle name is my mom's maiden name and I LOVE IT! (It is pronounced bovay... for all of you non Cajun folks out there.) Now I have to get in to practice of referring to my bouncing tummy as Caroline and Worth rather than he and she.

It's birthday time!

Happy Birthday today to my sweet mommy! The world would be a colder place without your love and warmth. I feel blessed beyond measure to have you in my life. You are my best friend, and for that I am so grateful!

My Bologna Has A First Name

So do my kids… but hubby isn’t ready to release it to the public. So, we will practice using them for a little bit, just in case. He has commitment issues now!

I have been having the weirdest craving lately. BOLOGNA! I can’t get enough bologna sandwiches. I didn’t dislike them before, but I never craved them. After taking my belly pic tonight I really wish I would crave things like rice cakes and salad. Oh well.

The babies are moving up a storm. Eugene has gotten to feel them a few times. I am finding that they move the most when I lay down to go to sleep. Of course! :) I love it!

We are off to see the Perinatologist tomorrow. He is a specialist that deals strictly with high risk pregnancies. We will get an ultrasound and a good check to make sure all is well. I can't wait to see my precious ones again!

I will leave you with a word to the wise. Never tell a pregnant woman she looks like she may pop… that baby must be due any day now. You never know… she may be preggo with twins and spend the rest of the day feeling like the good year blimp.

Commitment Issues & My Aliens Within

I am so happy to say that I feel my babies moving. Sometimes I find myself second guessing and wonder if that really is it. But, I feel certain it is. Baby A (girl) seems to be VERY active. I am feeling lots of this so called "fluttering" on her side. I am kind of hoping that some of Baby B's (boy) movement is ricocheting over there. If not, she is going to keep us moving!

I have to say though that this butterfly scenario is a bit far fetched. It feels much more like Encounters of the Third Kind if you ask me. I don't feel this hard kicking sensation. I just feel this strange, squirmy movement that I LOVE! I can't wait for Eugene to be able to feel them kick!!!

As for my commitment issues... will these kids ever have names? We are tossing some around. We LOVE family names. Thank goodness we both agree on that. So, I know that will make a strong impact in whatever we choose. However, I just can't seem to find anything that I am willing to commit to for oh you know... a lifetime. Naming someone is a big responsibility!

It's a.....

BOY and a GIRL!!!!!!

We could not be more excited! What a blessing to know that in just months we will welcome a son and a daughter. They both look very healthy, and they both measured great. Both babies have all 4 chambers of the heart. Their brains look great, and their spines look great. Thank you god for healthy babies!

Here is the belly at 16 weeks 4 days. I feel HUGE already and have a LOOOOOONG way to go!

I went to Mississippi this weekend to visit with my family. It has been since August that we were all together, so it was LONG overdue. Ava and Sophie were the stars of the weekend of course. I think Ava could star in the show "Kids Say the Darndest Things." I laughed all weekend at her. She has such an incredible personality and is such a great blend of Adam and Katie. She made such a cute witch too!!

Sisterly love

She really is so cute it's scary! Also, thanks Elmo for standing guard in the background.

It is exhausting being this cute!

No wire hangers, ever!

Saturday, instead of being in Starkville cheering on our bulldogs, I cleaned out my closet. Trust me when I say we would have MUCH rather been cheering. Eugene had been a little under the weather, and I was starting to feel that way myself.

Since we found out we were preggo in August, I feel like I have been sick everyday. I think I have FINALLY turned a corner. Praise God! I would have thrown up everyday if it meant getting these two here safely, but I am sure am glad that it looks to be a done deal with the vomit. Moving on... because I have felt like crap, my house has shown it. My sweet hubby has done so much helping out, but lets face it, if you don't pick up after yourself it is just a mess. I'm embarrassed to admit it... but it's true.

HI MY NAME IS KATIE, AND I HAVE BEEN A SLOB FOR THE LAST 3 MONTHS! (please excuse my horrid appearance. i was, after all, cleaning not walking the runway.)

After 6 hours or purging, packing up 5 bags for Goodwill, and just putting stuff away it was clean. Whew!

Eugene spent his Saturday mostly in this position...

and Sam, well his life is just hard!
