Dealing with a Cryptic Pregnancy
Before I start my story, I want to start by saying that what I am about to reveal is true and fact. This is just my story. We have all heard the stories on the news of a woman goes into labor, has a baby, but she didn't know that the was pregnant, and we have all asked ourselves how did she not know that she was pregnant? Well, there are many reasons for this, but this is not my story. My story is a little different than this situation. My situation is that I'm currently about 21 weeks pregnant with twins, however, I cannot be medically diagnosed as being pregnant for every test that I have taken comes back negative and getting an ultrasound is tough also, since the doctors will not order one since the tests are negative.

But I Might Break a Nail
I was training in a boxing gym where there was only one other woman beside me. She and I never had the pleasure of sparring with each other, but we had no qualms about facing the guys in the ring. Eventually, two more women joined the class. They arrived ready with headgear, hand wraps, and a couple of pairs of very expensive looking boxing gloves. The women were also dressed in the most popular style of workout fashion and wearing makeup. The coach expected everyone to spar, and when he brought that up to those two, their eyes widened in terror. “We actually have to hit people?” they said. They never came back to the gym. They had been there less than two weeks.

Me Too
For the longest time, I have been afraid to tell people about some parts of my past. I have been afraid to attach my face to a story of sexual assault and abuse. I have been afraid of what my family will think of me, what my friends will think of me, what my future partners may think of me. I have been afraid of what they may make me feel obligated to do, such as taking legal action against the one who did me wrong. I have been afraid of the potential implications of admitting what happened to me.

Make Like Fergie and Get Back Your MILF Money 🍼💸
My current look is something like the "after" picture in a Don't do Meth campaign. I look like I literally reside in a dustbin. It wasn't always this way, in fact I used to have a shelf full of high end make-up and never left the house without GHDing the shit out of my hair. Now it's a quick spray of dry shampoo and I'm good to go. I've perfected the art of showering in a nanosecond, and I've learned how to make baggy jumpers work for me. I have moments of inspiration where I resolve to put a full face of makeup on every day and stick to a skincare routine for more than a week, but I always relapse. I need beauty rehab if there's such a thing.

How We Survived
You were supposed to be my forever. We weren't supposed to split up. We had the perfect family from the outside looking in. Yes we had our ups and downs just like any relationship, but we took a vow to be there for each other and stay with each other no matter what.

Food Do(n'ts)
There is a lot of speculation on what is OK for our babies and what isn't. Everyone feels they know their baby and to an extent it is true. But more often than not we feed them things that we didn't know were really bad for them. A lot of times, despite what we think we know, we are under-educated. We go off what we know and what we have learned and what we grew up seeing. I was the same way, I have had animals all my life. Cats, Dogs, Rabbits, Snakes, Fish, Turtles, even a hermit crab. I always wanted to grow up to be a veterinarian, have a farm, and lots of land to rescue animals. My dream didn't work out that way, they hardly ever do. But I did become a Vet Assistant, and I learned that a lot of what I THOUGHT I knew wasn't even half of it and a lot of it was wrong.
