Craving Frustration

I am extremely frustrated right now with the makers of Reese's Mini Pumpkins

THEY ARE NOT IN ANY STORES HERE!!!! Trust me, I've looked, multiple times.
NOR were they in Target in Twin Falls, ID.
{this picture was taken last year when I stocked up on them, HERE in ND}
But for some obsurd reason, they decided that the one year I'm finally pregnant, they are not going to have them in the stores! OUTRAGEOUS!
{let's be real, it's not really a prego-craving, it's a Lex craving, has been my whole life}

Can someone please mail me a package of them? Mom?
Time is running out people and by next Wednesday they will most likely be all gone.
They should know that these are the BEST candy on Halloween. And that the last time they had Reese's mini's was when they had EGGS.  EGGS folks!  That was EASTER! Ahhh, I'm going crazy here. That's nearly 6 months of neglect of the best candy ever and 6 months of withdrawls.  I'm good. I'm good. I did hide a bag of Reese's mini eggs next to my dresser and they lasted until May, but I certainly could not get them to last until October.

YES. They have the big ones you buy for like 79 cents, but I want the bag of little ones.
Is that too much to ask?
Okay. But really, don't feel like you have to mail me any candy, unless you are my mom, then you should feel obligated....wink wink, I love you mom.  It is probably a blessing and at my next doctor visit I'm sure it will show on the scales that I did NOT eat several bags by myself of these puppies!  But if I do, it's because these baby girls really love them (and maybe I do too! Just a little bit)

And p.s. it snowed here this morning, just little feathery snow but oh how I did enjoy it.  I listened to Christmas music and tried to forget that I was eating a regular dumb Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and just went on with my day!
Happy Fall!

The suspense is over! We are pregnant with......

GIRLS!!
Two pink bows = Two precious girls!
If you are shocked, then join the club.  I was 100% shocked! I thought maybe, MAYBE, one girl at most but never dreamed (literally) or thought both babies would be girls! The ultrasound tech checked many times, they are girls.  And they have all their "2000 parts", what amazing technology we have.  I saw their blood pumping in and out of their heart through infrared technology.  I saw their spines and ribs and 4 chambers of their hearts.  I got to see their legs and arms and even the parts of their brains! They are just perfect!  I couldn't be more relieved and more blessed to know what an amazing miracle these little girls are, especially considering the extreme efforts it took to get them here!

This here is Baby A (notice closely, she has the Burns Family "Pointy" Chin! Lovingly inherited from Grandpa Todd and Aunt Jazz).  These pics make them look like clay people, but I assure you, Baby A has a nose and is so sweet and content even when her sister is kicking her and sticking her bum in her face (which she did during the ultrasound). Baby A is 9 ounces.

Baby B is trying to hide her face, I think she knows she is in trouble for sticking her bottom in her sister's face. Even her little mouth expression looks like she knows she is guilty. haha. Perhaps Little Miss Baby B wanted to be Baby A!  Baby A was located below the belly button and Baby B is above, so I think B wants to push A out of the way and be born first.  Gotta love that they are already acting like sisters!! Baby B is 10 ounces (1 oz bigger and showin us who's boss).

So there you have it!  A house full of 4 women and one man!  And let me tell you, that man isn't the least bit worried! Although he may or may not have taken up drinking Mt. Dew again! (perhaps to secretly cope with having 3 daughters!!!).  He already informed me today the vehicle he wants his daughters to drive in high school. He can't wait to get it and fix it up nice for the girls.  He has 5 years until Autumn is driving and then 15 until the twins.  He's a good daddy! A total pushover though, he loves his girls and let me tell you 3 daddy's girls is what we will have!!
But I will give him his yearly hunting/4 wheeling trip to keep him sane! 

We are so so so excited. I am a little nervous to have a bunch of girls, only because I am one and I know how emotional I can get, let alone 4 of us!! I restricted myself to not buying anything until after Christmas.  We'll see how well I can hold out!  I ADORE little girl stuff though!  Yikes!!! Wish me luck!
