The holidays came and went in a blur. I am currently 32 weeks pregnant and it's safe to say that I am over being pregnant. These babies have invaded my body for way too long and honestly their time is up. It's time for them to go.

Marcus and I are currently at the gym right now. After I made eight or nine weeks, I asked him if we could start going to the gym together. I've been gaining weight like crazy, which is expected since I'm having twins, but I've also become super lazy the further along I get so it's been helping me to lose weight as well as giving me energy to actually do things that I know need to be done. I was currently doing squats with some light weights while Marcus spotted me. Before the squats, I walked on the treadmill for 20 minutes as a warm up, then I did some lunges and leg lifts before finishing off with squats. I honestly wasn't in the mood to workout right now but when I asked Marcus if we could skip today he told me no because he felt like if I skipped one day, I would continue to want to skip days. He was absolutely right, but he still could have let me skip one day. "Alright, done." I said as I put the weights down.

"Good job today mama." Marcus said as he handed me a water bottle and wiped the sweat from my face. I drank the water and rubbed my stomach as I felt my babies moving around. "How are you feeling?" He asked.

"Good. Thanks again for doing this with me. Ever since I quit my job the only thing I've been wanting to do is just eat and sleep all day, so I'm glad we started working out in the early stage." I admitted. A few weeks ago, I gave my mom my two weeks notice and quit my job. I was calling out more than I should have been because I've been so tired so I just decided to quit all together. Before I left they threw me a small baby shower in the office and of course I cried like a baby. I'm just glad Mia wasn't there because I probably would have went upside her weird ass head. "Can we go eat now?" I whined as I went to stand in front of him. He laughed as he looked down at me and rubbed my belly.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked. I licked my lips as my mouth watered.

"Can we go to La Segunda? I want a Cuban sandwich with extra pickles and Mayo." I said. He looked at the time on his phone and frowned.

"They're closed mama. They closed at three, it's 3:50 right now." He said. I frowned as my eyes started watering.

"Really?" I pouted. "I'm literally craving a Cuban sandwich right now and they make the best Cuban sandwiches in town." I cried. He laughed as he grabbed the duffle bag that we're sharing and walked over to me.

"It's okay Lani. We can go get you food from somewhere else, and I promise you I'll have a Cuban sandwich for you first thing in the morning. I'll have it before you wake up." He said as he wiped my tears before wrapping his arm around my waist and leading me out of the gym. "What else do you have in mind?" He asked as we walked over to his Jeep.

"Nothing really." I said as he opened the door for me. "Can we just go to Starbucks and then go back to your house?" I asked him.

"We can go back to my house, but you need something other than Starbucks. What about Metro Diner?" He asked as he got in on his side. I nodded as I leaned the seat back and got comfortable.

"Yeah, I'll take that." I said.

"Do you want to eat there or take it home?" He asked.
