Ok so here I am 8 months pregnant, with twins none the less, and not able to do much in regards to going out on dates with my hubby. So he has started wanting to take me out to the movies since i cant do concerts, rodeos, museums, or anything where I'm out in the heat or needed to walk. My first thoughts are great I can see where hes coming from and yes we do still need to get out just the two of us from time to time but I see loud booming volumes and being stuffed in a seat for 2 hours or more and runs to the bathroom not so fun. But I decided to go for it there was an action flick and a comedy about pregnancy coming out that I really wanted to go see so we did and we went to 2 different theatres to see how things were as far as being comfy and able to handle.
I won't list the names of the theatres but one is in my town its always been my fave movie theatre since we moved here because I'm a frugal momma and you can actually still go here and see new movies for just 2.00/person if you go to the matinee and that's unheard of in regards to prices these days. Hubby had his pick of new action movie and we were off. Sure its not fancy and new like the other theatre we went to the seats are years old and don't do any fancy reclining or anything but it was nice and cool while we were in there and I have to say my movie trip was pleasant. It was in 3D and looked and sounded great I will say for the first half of the movie my babies were moving nonstop due to the sound being so loud I was giggling and feeling them wondering what they were thinking because were in the dark which is usually quiet time but nope no quiet to be had during awesome fighting scenes today.
The next movie I wanted to see was a chick flick and comedy and was pretty funny I gasped in disbelief on some of the things that happened and laughed at others because it was so typical of pregnancy. This movie wasn't showing my usually theatre so we drove to the next town over where it was showing in the big new fancy theatre which is maybe a year old now. Cost is through the roof but lucky us we get a military discount so that took the edge off a bit. My husband thought wed like it better because the seats recline and they did even the arm in between us came up and moved out of the way so you can sit closer or in my case turn my body sideways to shift my weight a few times. Movie was fine but this theatre experience was no fun yes it had new fancy seats but not so good on a pregnant woman who cant lean back because the pressure on my spine cuts off my blood flow, the seats sure did recline and to my astonishment they leaned back no matter what you did I didn't have the option to sit straight up at all I ended up having to scoot up and sit at the end of the seat and just sit straight up hoping everyone behind me could still see. Then my back would start hurting so id have to sit back for a few minutes before sitting back up to catch my breath I spent the 2 hours constantly shifting my big belly weight around and fanning myself because guess what...it was hot in there! I'm used to it being cold or close to freezing in theatres but not this one had to get a cup of ice to eat just to make it through.
So theres my experience or review on movie going while in third trimester maybe the big new theatre with its lounging seats arnt as good as an idea as the good ol theatre with seats you sit straight up in at least its supporting your back for a couple hours. Either way I say give into your cravings and enjoy a box of candy in my case Junior Mints for me how about you?
This is a blog about me and my life which Im betting is in some way much like everyone elses life and maybe we have lots in common, only 1 thing in common, or everything common. Keep reading and let me know.

Happy with Sore Teeth & Pink Hair
Wow 4 months have went past as I read my last post I was in such a darker place then and am glad to say I'm not there anymore. I'm happy and positive as I'm used to. Of course, I am still going through some personal trials as we all do but things are good Ive enjoyed a delicious chocolate fudge cake for my birthday which had to be sugar free due to the gestational diabetes Ive got going on right now but can also share that everyone who had a piece wanted a second that was an adult and the kids didn't even notice either which made me really happy!
I also just got to celebrate my twin girls who are on the way with a baby shower last weekend and I literally smiled and laughed so much I spent the next day in bed because my teeth hurt so bad and no I know that's not normal my teeth have also took a hit this pregnancy and I am in need of some dental care but am praying and trying my best to put it off until after the birth. When that time does come Il still be in recovery from the birth and maybe slightly delusional from lack of sleep but better to get some teeth pulled then, than now and risk it throwing me into early labor. So a half smile here or there and if you spot me with my hand on my cheek I'm not really thinking that hard I'm just feeling a lil pressure in the jaw is all. Also gives me more reason to pass on that sugary sweet that looks so good but is so bad for me right now.
All in all I now have more energy most days then I had at the beginning and I'm not sick all the time it comes and goes according to my nose. My girls have been healthy the entire pregnancy and that's what matters to me they are growing and doing great, I myself have actually barely just gained 20 pounds the whole 8 months so far but i sure look like its lots more being as my stomach sticks out so far I am the width of two of me but if you catch me just from the front its not a big difference.
I also have wanted for years to dye my hair hot pink but have never done so for different reasons but finally went through with it just a couple of pink highlights representing my love for pink and more celebration for my baby girls and all I can think is why did I put this off for so long it feels totally normal and me. Its also cute to hear my two year old yell its PINK! when I put my hair up and he catches a glimpse. Who knew you could teach your toddler colors with your hair?
