SJ.

I can't believe I have one week left until we will welcome our two sweet boys into this world!
Its crazy to think our family of four will change to six in a matter of minutes!

I have many mixed emotions about everything.
This pregnancy has been one for the books...
One thing I can say, is I absolutely hate when people try to give me 'advice'.


  • You're tired now, wait until they get here
  • You need to keep them in as long as you can
  • At least they aren't close in age with Owen
To those few things I have to say.
First, I have had a new born, its not something you prepare for, its something that just comes to you, and I can admit, I am MORE tired during pregnancy then I ever was with Owen as a newborn.
Newborns, you are overwhelmed with joy.
Newborns, you sleep when they do, and its comfortable sleep. Not this wake up every three hours to pee, or cry because I am so big I can't get out of the bed.

Second, are you my doctor?

Third, you are right, Owen will be three years older then my TWO newborns who will be the EXACT same age. Shove it.


Many pregnant women develop more intense emotions.
Sad, mad, happy, angry, lovey, you get the point.

I am just sad, then mad, then I get sad again.

At this point I feel anxious though.
My level of anxiety has hit the roof the past month.
Owen will be three tomorrow, and it kills me. I miss him being little, and I wonder have I been the best mother I can be to him these past three years? Have I done everything I can to show him how much I love him?
We recently put him in a pre-school program, and he loves it. The decision was hard, but Owen became curious about school, and meeting new friends, and I  began to realize I'm not able to be the best version of myself at this point during my pregnancy. I can't get on the floor with him or do all the things I was once able to do.
It killed me, but I know not much longer and I will be able too.

I also am having anxiety about my weight and body.
I am 36.5 weeks pregnant and have gained forty pounds!! The majority of that weight came after 20 weeks pregnant, and it came fast.
The boys are a little over 6.5 pounds a piece so that's roughly 13 pounds of babies.
Still, I am the biggest I have ever been, and I worry about losing the weight.
I worry about what my skin will look like after they are born.
I worry about Austin still being attracted to me.
I  worry about the recovery time, because at this point I just want to get into the gym.

These may be petty things to worry about, I know.
But the things I don't worry about are the fact that these boys will have two parents who love them.
They have all they need and more.
The best father to teach them and grow with them.
A brother who is so excited to meet them and ready to play!

So yes, I have many mixed emotions, about a lot of things...but am I ready to meet them...
Yes, indeed I am.

What can I say?

I had all these big plans of what the blog would be about, and how I was going to take off with it.

That didn't happen like planned.
Since the last time I posted many things have happened.


  • Vacations
  • Doctor appointments
  • Baby scares
  • Austin's major career change
  • Buying our first home
  • Remodeling our first home
  • Brylee starting school
  • Moving into our first home
  • Being huge pregnant

I am huge, the size of a whale huge.
I miss the gym, and I really can't wait to get back into the groove.
I am so uncomfortable and so ready to meet these sweet boys.

We have constantly been on the go.
Trying to get everything ready before the boys get here.
Trying to figure out our new budget now that we are home owners and about to add two more mouths to feed.
Planning Owen's third birthday is big on my list, as this will be his last birthday as my 'little baby'
I mean he will always be my sweet little baby, but two weeks after his birthday he will be the best big brother ever!

We purchased our first home, and I love it!
I have the best husband in the world!
This house is everything and more.
Once we are done with everything I will post pictures (: 
You don't want to miss out on that.

Life is going well for the Montgomery's.

I have eliminated people from my life, and that has helped.
I have found great books that occupy my night time.
Owen and daddy occupy my day time.
Until I can get settled and figure out what this little ol' blog will be about, here's an update.

Teen mom!

Teen mom 2 comes on tonight, and unfortunately we don't have Direct tv at my in laws house....
womp womp womp.
So, I will just have to watch online....

That's not what today's topic is about, although I am super excited to see some new drama!

So many great things are happening for us!
I wish we could spill the beans right now, but some of these things are still a work in progress.

I am still trying to figure out a new blog name, I have no idea what to call it or where to start.

We are staying at my in laws for a few more weeks, so until we are on our own I wont be updating as much.

As for the family:

Austin is home!
He is making a HUGE career change, and I will be sharing that in the next week when he is ready.
This is a huge change, but also a huge blessing for our growing family!
We will have more time together, as well as he will have more time with the kids.







Brylee has been with us most the summer, and it has been so much fun!! She's at a camp right now doing tumbling and cheer and is really enjoying it!



Owen has been sick since yesterday, running a fever, but other then that he is a happy boy.
Just wants to cuddle with his mommy and daddy!

I have a doctor appointment today to check on the boys!
Dreading hopping on that scale.
Dreading being put on bed rest, which I have a huge fear of!
My feet are so swollen and my legs are constantly in pain, not sure how I will make it another 12 plus weeks!


Bam that's a big ol' belly!
This was taken a week or so ago, I feel I am much much bigger!
Some may wonder how?
Oh, our God works in mysterious ways stretching that belly to make room for our sweet baby boys!!

Not much of an update I know, but just wanted to check in.
Hopefully, I will be able to share much more on the next post!

First things first

I'm the realist.
I'm so fancy, you already know...

I kid, but for real Owen sings this song all the time.
Cutest thing ever!

That kid is growing like a weed!


Moving on>>>

Friday I will be 22 weeks pregnant!
We are having two sweet little boys!
I couldn't be happier!!



This was a few days ago in South Padre!
As you can tell my belly is a nice size...

We had a check up today to see how the boys are doing.
Both look great!
They are measuring at almost eleven inches a baby, and one weighs 14 oz the other 13.5.
I am measuring 6 weeks ahead according to my uterus, but that is normal with twins.
I have gained a total of ten pounds, but I also slowly started putting on some weight after Christmas, so I have a long journey ahead after these boys come!
Right now it looks like we will have them October 23-29 give or take a few days.
Fingers crossed I make it that far!

We have chosen names, but are choosing to wait until they are born to announce them.
That's just the way we roll.

I am so eager to meet these sweet babies, as well as see how Owen will do as a big brother.
He is so excited and talks about his 'brooders' all the time.
Brylee is excited as a girl could be to get two more brothers, she really wanted a sister.

Speaking of miss B, she is doing a summer camp in a few weeks and I can't wait to see how she does!

Now enjoy my kids, all four of them!

well, it has been a while....

So much has happened since the last time I sat down a wrote out a blog.

Many changes will be coming to this ol' blog of mine.


  • I need to come up with a new blog name, I am no longer living the life of an oilfield wife! More details to this will follow
  • I am back in Texas
  • We are planning on purchasing our first home
  • We know the sex of the little ones, and I will be tracking the second half of my pregnancy
  • Big career changes happening
  • Not so much a weight loss blog until the babies come
My focus will be on:

Documenting the next twenty weeks of the pregnancy.
Decorating the new home we plan on purchasing.
Every week I plan on posting a meal I found on Pinterest .
Living with a house full of boys.

After the babies come I will track losing the baby weight and much more I have put on.

Stick with me as I figure this all out.

Stay tuned

The death of me

Potty Training may be the death of me.
I know that I have discussed we were potty training before...but we got discouraged.
By we, I mean me.
Owen did GREAT for three days, then he kinda gave up, and after he gave up I gave up as well.
Every now and then he will tell me he needs to go potty, but it's nothing consistent.
And yes, I know that some people are 'potty training geniuses and can potty train there 4 month old in two seconds', but that's just not the case here.
Owen has really bad constipation problems, I have take him to the doctor and they tell me to try juice, try laxatives, blah blah blah...the only problem is yes it will help him, but it makes his poop liquid, which is hard to do when potty training because that ish just comes out.
I think we have finally come up with the perfect creation for him to go potty, and we started the training again yesterday. I am gonna take it one day at a time a pray that by the end of this month we will be in only undies.

I mean come on, my belly is only getting bigger, and this mess is, well its a mess!!
So for now, we are limiting his fluids to only breakfast, lunch, dinner and one snack, he will wear undies all day, and his booty will go on the potty every 25 minutes!!

I have a doctor appointment this week, and we may be able to find out the sex of the babies!
We are gonna keep it a secret if we do, until we decide how we want to tell people.
We originally wanted to do a gender reveal party in July, but I am not sure when we will be back in Texas.
I would love to still have one, but if we aren't back in time it will be a no-go.

I think we have finally decided where we want to live, now we just play the wait game on when his last day is here and us getting to Texas.
Austin also thinks I will need a bigger car. It's debatable, my car has third row, but he is worried the middle and back will be to crammed, plus we don't have room for a stroller when the third row is up.
Decisions, decisions.

We are so thrilled to be expanding our family by two more, we just have a lot of planning to do, and can't plan much up here.

That's all I got for ya today, I ordered two pieces from Kiki Larue, stay tuned to see the review on them!


Friday, May 9, 2014

I feel like I only blog on Fridays now...

It's the ninth day of May, also my fathers birthday.


Also, its two days before mothers day and twenty-one days until my birthday....


I am kinda a birthday snob...
I have been letting Austin know that my birthday was coming up since Valentines day...which happens to be the last time I got some kind of sweet surprise.

I also believe that since my birthday is on the 30th, it is only natural that the WHOLE month is my birthday month.

I know, I know, I am a brat....but Austin spoils me so what can a girl do??


I have a few things I would just love...



They have this same purse in a fun blue color that I would just love for a summer bag!
I love purses!
They are classy, and regardless your size, the purse always fits!

I also loooooove shoes.
My weakness is cute shoes.
I have so many shoes its unreal, and I will continue the collection!
Mani and Pedis are always nice too...
So is sweet perfume!
Austin always comes up with the best presents, so I know I don't really need to have a post devoted to my birthday....
But, I would like to go to Red Lobster or somewhere in Morgantown since our little town gets boring!

Ohhh and those yummy cupcakes from food lion will do (:

I have the best husband ever!
I can't wait to get him sweet things for his birthday!

Ps, Austin----Don't forget what Sunday is (:
