Shopping for Twins

Yesterday I decided to start the process of gathering all of our twin essentials! Little by little, we will have our home ready for our two additions! But who knew that twin merchandise would be so far and few between? It's crazy! I know multiples are not near as common as singles, but there were literally a few strollers to look at and that was it.

 Two Babies R Us stores and both the same selection (or lack thereof). I tried not to let it bring me down though. There are tons of options online, but I just wish I could test them out ahead of time. I did find a lightweight carrier that I think will be perfect! So after our next ultrasound, I will head back to purchase two of those! I figured we should have a backup Diaper Genie and I got a great deal on one plus a box of refills. So it wasn't a complete loss!

 There was one mom to be checking out behind me and I asked her how far along she was. She was super cute and I figured she had to be around 6 months. She told me 12 weeks, which is the same as I am! I felt bad when she asked me how far I was and I told her 12 weeks with twins! It's just amazing how different each pregnancy and body is. I haven't really begun to show yet, but I definitely don't want to rush it either! Take all of the time you need to grow little ones!

 The maternity fashion has really come a long way since I was last pregnant four years ago! I had so much fun trying everything on and spent way too much money! But I will for sure be wearing it all, so it was worth it. Plus I loved dressing my bump last time and now it's a completely different season with this pregnancy.

We have a long way to go, but still a lot of time to prep! Glad I got an early start!

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...
