Meet-the-Mama

Let's welcome Dianna as this week's Meet the Mama. It's time to put her in the spotlight and ask her those questions we've all been wondering about. Here is a little about her:

I am 33, married for 8 years to my second husband. I am a non-custiodial mom of two girls, ages 10 and 13. They live with their dad and step-mom in another state. I am bipolar but have been stable and off medication for around 2 years now. I am a housewife and will continue to stay home once the boys are born. I am not a very socially active person off the computer. Would much rather just hang out with my hubby and be homebodies. I love playing on my DS Lite, playing on Neopets.com, chatting on email groups and of course now here on TS. I have one sister(older and we don't get along) and two younger brothers, one who has Down Syndrome. My brother in law also has Down Syndrome.

I was born in Virginia. I have moved a lot. I have lived in Va, Tx,PA,FL,NC, Ca and now RI and in some states have lived in more than one city or moved back to a city more than once.

I love cold, rain and snow. If it were to rain or snow every day, that would make me very happy. I find sunny hot day to be very depressing. I am not like most people lol

This pregnancy is unexpected, twins were unexpected but so happy smile.

 

Hi Dianna,

1. What has been the best thing about being pregnant with twins?

2. What food have you been craving with this pregnancy?

Have fun!

The best thing is knowing that at the end of all these months I will have two precious babies, when after so many years I didn't think getting pregnant was even possible for me. I feel so blessed to be having two babies

Beef, beef, beef and more beef lol Haven't had to worry about becoming anemic b/c I eat so much red meat lol

1.How do you plan to decorate your nursery?

The nursery is being done in a safari theme. We found fabric we really liked and my husband made the curtains, is making the bumpers,dust ruffles and blankets. Last night he started working on their names that will go above the cribs, he is cutting them out of wood, I will paint and decorate. Then we will go from there figuring what to do with the rest of the wall space.

2. Do you have any pets?
I have one cat who drives me crazy.

 

Hi Dianna!

How and when were you told you were expecting twins and how did you react?

I found out at 11 weeks and 1 day. We went in for an u/s. When we got in the u/s room I joked with the tech that I was either much further along than we thought or I was having twins...haha, joking, never thinking it was twins....Within a minute of her starting the u/s, she said, "Yep, there is two in there" My husband cried and I said "Holy *hit" over and over lol

The families have been very excited. I feel bad at times b/c they tend to put a lot of focus on me when it should be on other things and other people but I know it is b/c they are all so happy.

I have lived in RI for three years. My husband was born here and we moved here when he got out of the military. It is a nice place to live.

Favorite place to live is hard to pick....I guess Va. I was born there, lived in the state four times.
