Oh The Things People Say - Part 1 Twin Pregnancy

Do twins run in your family? 

 Were you trying for twins?
Is that possible?? We wanted another baby and we were blessed with two!

 Are they natural? Or are they in vitro?
Would I really tell you if I have fertility problems? But yes, if you must ask.

 You are going to have your hands full. 
Clearly having two arms, my hands are literally full! Full of LOVE!

 I couldn't do it. 
Wow! Thank you for sharing! So you would've abandoned one of your babies at birth??

 Glad it's you and not me.
Hmmm....thank you. Just keep walking!

 My (insert relative) has twin (insert gender). 

 My husband is now called "super sperm" by his football team!
Okay this one is pretty funny!

 I'm sorry. 
Sorry for what? The fact that my life will be filled with double the love, smiles, kisses and snuggles? People have three kids all of the time. Mine just came two at once! 

 Oh my god, I would die if I had twins.
Really? Come on!

You're too small to be having twins. 
Are you my doctor? Nope didn't think so. 

 I know someone who was pregnant with twins, but they lost one. 
I know it happens, but as if I'm not already scared, this is the last thing I need to hear.

 You are one brave girl (in a condescending tone). 
They act like I did it on purpose! But yes, I am brave and will give this experience everything I have to give our little ones the best life! 

 You better (insert activity) while you still can! 
People act like my life is coming to an end! 

 What a blessing! You're so lucky! 
THANK YOU!!!!

 You look so cute pregnant!
THANK YOU!!!! Can you tell me that again when it's 100 degrees outside and I'm huge? 

 I'm sure you are worried, but everything will be okay. 
Again THANK YOU!!! 

 That's great that you are having twins! Twice the love! 
This is one of my favorites!

 You look great! 
Thank you! 

And they just keep on coming! I might have to add to the list as the pregnancy progresses! 

 Feel free to add in the comments section others that you have heard! 

And I'm sure it will get even better when the babies are here! So wait for Part 2!

Snow Days....for Real

  Expectation Reality Screaming yelling and fighting by 8:30 a.m.  Mom chugging coffee.  Dad trying to have work calls while trying to pretend there isn't screaming in the background. Dog paw prints all over the floors.  Instant headache.  Thinking about having a good cry.  Kicking the kids outside.  Kid takes snowball to the face. More tears.  All of the deep breaths. Trying to maintain my work ethic.  Longing for spring and realizing it's very far away.  Wishing I was in my quiet office.  Setting a time to drink wine.

Dancing Around Your Thoughts

Today I looked in the mirror and thought "good grief my eyes look so tired today." It's one of those days where there's just not enough concealer and you need that second or third cup of coffee. Most of my blogs are typically silly and about rocking the mom life. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change it for the world. But we are all human and there are just certain things that can start to eat at you when kept within. Sometimes when you hold your emotions in, because you literally can't let it out in front of your littles, it can make you feel like you are going to explode. It can make you freaking crazy. In those moments, I tend to take mine and channel them into a good sweat. But sometimes we just need to talk things out. One of the toughest aspects of my current stage of mom life is when you have something on your heart. Whether you are dealing with some crazy emotions, someone you care about has hurt your feelings, you've...

The Last Firsts

At this time last year, this day felt so far away! My girls are turning one in just two days! Some might say "We made it!" And while I'm so incredibly proud of not only myself and my husband for raising two precious baby girls at the same time, I'm also so proud of these two beauties and who they are becoming. This time last year I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was miserably pregnant, hot and just ready for the next phase in our lives. Now I look back and think to myself, that was the last time that I would ever experience pregnancy. Everything that we've experienced over this last whirlwind of a year was for the last time. I remember leaving the maternity ward in a wheelchair with our new bundles in tow. I looked back and my eyes filled with tears, because having spent so much time there last year for testing, I got to know the nurses and I realized that I wouldn't be back.  Everyone told us how challenging this would be; that raising two babies w...
