Stella's POV: It's been a little over a month since I found out we are having another set of twins at first I was beyond shocked but after a few hours I was just happy to have two healthy babies. We also learned we would have a boy and girl this time around. A couple weeks back I had a major scare at work where I thought I lost them both but turns out I have a condition called placenta previa which is scary but both me and the babies are safe. Right now I am 26 weeks pregnant and feel pretty good. I decided to help me not be so stressed out that I would be staying home and not be going back to work until after these babies are born The older kids have been out of school for a couple days now they have been at friends houses each day they been out of school. So most of the day it's men and Greyson hanging out which works out since he won't be my baby much longer. Kelly should be home from work pretty soon
K= I'm home babe
S= look Greyson daddy is home
GA= daddy ( runs to him)
K= hey buddy I miss you so much were you good for mommy
GA= yes
S= he always is a perfect angel
K= Well that's good to hear
S= so how was work
K= it wasn't that bad
S= that's good to hear
K= so the older kids are at their friends house
S= oh yeah like usual but they should be home soon
K= well I guess I can spend some alone time with my two favorite people
S= oh really we won't tell the other kids will we Greyson
GA= no
K= good
We spend some time with Kelly until it was time to start making dinner Kelly offered to make dinner which was good once dinner was done within 15 minutes the other kids got home. We ate her dinner with the kids fill Kelly and me on what they did today. About two hours later we got all the kids in bed now it's just me and Kelly hanging out
S= another day down
K= so how was your day besides hanging out with mr Greyson
S= it was good I got some cleaning done while he took a nap which was good since the older kids weren't here
K= well that's good as long as you didn't overdo yourself
S= of course I did I also took a small nap myself today
K= well that's good so how are you feeling today
S= not too bad just had to stay seated on the couch all day today
K= well that's good so I have an idea
S= you do what is it
K= well since it's nice out and since it's summertime how would you like to go to the cabin with the kids for a couple days
S= that would be nice but what about work for you
K= I got that covered Boden allowed me to have a few days off
S= well that's nice of him
K= yes it was so what do you say
S= I say let's do it so when do you want to go up to the cabin
K= how does tomorrow afternoon sound
S= that sounds perfect gives me time to pack some things
K= all right so are you ready to go to bed then
S= yes I am let's go
K= all right then let me carry
S= no way Kelly I don't want you to hurt yourself
K= I won't let's go
Kelly carries me to the bedroom then we fell sleep pretty fast the next morning I get up before everyone else to Pee like usual then I start making breakfast for everyone about 10 minutes later I hear Kelly getting up and entering the kitchen
S= good morning babe
K= good morning to you what are you doing anyways
S= what does it look like I'm making breakfast
K= I can see that but you are supposed to be taking it easy this could have waited until I woke up
S= all I am doing is making breakfast for everyone so it's not taking a lot out of me besides I was hungry your kids always make me hungry
K= well here let me finish it for you while you go sit down on the couch
S= all right but hurry up I'm hungry
K= all right I'll try
I go and sit down on the couch while I watch Kelly finish up breakfast. About 6 minutes later the food was fine and all the kids got up
S= I guess the kids are up let me go get Greyson
K= Stella no way you stay here I will go get him besides have some food
S= fine you're lucky I'm starving ( he leaves)
SM= good morning mom
LM= good morning
SG= good morning mom where is daddy
S= well first of all good morning kids second of all sailor daddy went to get Greyson since he woke up, and lastly how about let's eat some breakfast that daddy cooked for everyone
SG= all right mommy
LM= how are you feeling today mommy
S= I'm feeling great lulu thanks for asking
LM= no problem
K= look who's awake

GA= shay shay ( reaches for him )
S= I guess we know who his favorite is
K= oh yeah so how did everyone sleep
SG= I slept good
LM= same here dad
K= that's good let's eat up
We eat our within 20 minutes
S= that was so good I'm stuffed
SG= yeah daddy good job
K= why thank you guys
SM= hey dad here in a couple hours can I go to my friends Parker's house
SG= yeah can I go to my friend Gracie house too
S= well you could
K= but I think you might want to come with us when we leave
LM= are we going on a road trip
SG= are we going on vacation
S= kind of both girls
K= how would you guys like to take a road trip up to the cabin so we can spend some family time together
SM= oh yeah that would be fun
SG= we can swim in the lake
LM= I can bring some books with me right
S= of course you can lulu
SM= so how long will we be there
K= how does a week sound guys
SG= it sounds great
LM= when are we leaving
S= I think we are leaving around one so that Greyson can sleep in the car
SM= all right
K= how about this you guys can go play for a little bit in your room then it will be time to start packing for our trips how does that sound
SG= that works let's go play guys
LM= all right ( they leave )
S= this might be our last trip to the cabin before these twins comes
K= oh yeah so true
S= do you need any help over there with the dishes or the clean up
K= nope I'm good you just sit and relax for right now
S= I guess are you ever going to let me do anything anytime soon
K= nope sorry I won't you need to take care of your self and those babies that are inside you
S= I will but it gets boring just sitting around ax
K= I know but hopefully this last part of the pregnancy goes by fast so that you can meet these babies soon enough
S= I guess just hope not too soon.
K= couldn't agree more
While Kelly cleans up breakfast and the kitchen I play with Greyson I don't mind with Kelly doing all the work but ever since I got the diagnosis of placenta previa he hasn't let me do anything I am so beyond bored sitting around I hope either he lets up a bit or thud pregnancy goes by a little faster but hopefully the babies stay in there as long as possible so that when they are born they are healthy
Kelly's pov; I still can't believe it's been a month since Stella told me that we are getting ready to have another set of twins which is crazy. A couple weeks we had a pretty bad scare where we though we lost the babies like we did with Sutton but then Stella got diagnosis with something called placenta previa which means she has to take it easy for the rest of her pregnancy might not get stressed out because she could bleed a lot and it's very scary. But right now she and the babies are doing great she is 26 weeks pregnant last night I came up with an idea of having a little family getaway at our cabin Stella loved it so this morning we told the kids and they also loved it. While I clean the kitchen the kids played in the rain for a little bit after while we all cut up bags packed and loaded up in the car we first stop and grab some lunch then headed toward the cabin we arrive with 2 and half hours.
S= thank God we are finally here I can move my legs now
K= maybe this will be our last car ride until those babies are born
S= oh yeah it was very uncomfortable and also I have to pee so bad
K= how are you go inside P me and the kids will bring everything in
S= all right thanks
While Stella ran inside to Pee me and the kids unloaded the car and got everything inside within 20 minutes
K= I think that's all of it thanks for helping kids
SG= you're welcome daddy
SM= it's no problem Dad
LM= it's nice to be back
S= couldn't agree more Lulu I think the last time we were here was...
K= well me and you were here for a little anniversary getaway a couple months back
S= oh yeah but last time we all were here as a family was when I found out I was pregnant with Greyson
K= oh yeah that's so true it was my birthday gift too that I was going to have another baby the best gift ever
S= oh yeah so that means it's Greyson's first official time up here
K= you guys better show Greyson why we love this place so much and tell him to get used to this place because we will always come back here
SM= we will mom
SG= totally will daddy
LM= we will show him the best spot to hide and play
S= you guys are the best so I don't know about you guys but I am so hungry
LM= we are too
K= where are you guys sit and I will make us something to eat
SG= all right daddy
While I make all of us a little something to eat the kids and Stella hang out and play together about 15 minutes later
K= all right food is ready
S= good because I'm hungry
SM= same here
LM= what did you make us
K= I just made us some hotdogs and mac & cheese
SG= oh my favorite
S= all right let's eat up
We eat our food in silence we get done eating within 15 minutes
K= so guys do you want to go to the lake tomorrow or find a pool nearby
SM= i'm good with the lake
LM= same here
SG= I love the lake
S= i'm good with lake too
K= all right let's go to the lake tomorrow
We enjoy the rest of the night as a family and join our favorite place the kids off all sleep in the living room so I carry them to the bed when I came back to living room I see that sell his phone asleep also so I can pick her up and carry her into our bedroom once I get her in the bed I crawl into bed next to her and I fall sleep pretty fast. It's the next morning and I wake up first like usual but I don't want to move but about five minutes later Stella starts to stir beside me
S= it's morning already
K= yes it is good morning sunshine
S= I guess good morning
K= so did you sleep well
S= I guess so but didn't I Fall asleep on the couch last night how did I get into bed
K= yes you did fall asleep on the couch but I carried it into bed
S= no kelly you didn't need to hurt your back you probably should have just left me to sleep on the couch last night
K= Babe don't worry about it you aren't that heavy besides you sleep better on a bed then on a couch
S= I guess you got a good point there
K= yes I do
S= I think I slept my best last night compared to the last week and a half of not the best sleep in the world

S= oh yeah specially when you had to pee a lot
K= I bet it's worse having twins than just one baby
S= oh yeah that's why after these babies are born you are not allowed to touch me for a good while
K= you were going to punish me like that
S= totally I don't need to get pregnant again especially with twins it takes a toll on my body
K= well you can't tell
