14 LONG Days

14 Days! That's what stands between us and finding out what our babies are! I am seriously so anxious to know for sure what's going on in there. There's so much to do and I'm already half way through this pregnancy. I wish there was a little window where I could just take a peek for myself. 

I'm ready to start shopping for these little ones and stocking up on necessities, plus the nursery! I can't choose a theme and decor until I know what I'm having. I seriously don't know how people did it back when you didn't know what you were having! I'm such a planner and organizer, that I have to know! 

 It doesn't help that we are literally seeing twins everywhere! Okay not everywhere, but I definitely notice them a lot more. It's just like when you buy a new car and then all of a sudden, you notice that same car everywhere. We saw so many sets of twins this weekend at a festival. There was even a section of the parade for families with multiples! I also ended up sitting next to a lady who was a twin. It was definitely ironic.

In 14 Days, it's on! Baby prep will be taking off in full swing! After those 14 days, time can just slow down, because I am going to need a lot of time to get my family ready for the arrival of our little ones. My pregnancy goal is to make it to 38 weeks! So far, everything is going perfectly. I'm right on track for a healthy and full twin pregnancy!

No One Prepared Me for This

This is the part of motherhood that I feel no one prepared me for. Perhaps you can't really be prepared at all. I didn't think it would happen as quickly as it did.  I'm talking about the day you wake up and your firstborn child is looking you in the eye and well on the way to surpassing your height. Can we not?  Seriously!  Sending Rhylan to middle school last year was a very tough concept to grasp. I've come to terms with being the mother of a middle schooler. I mean...what choice do I have? In doing so, I've had a front row seat to extraordinary growth (and I'm not just talking about physically). I've watched him overcome so much. Whether it was constant encounters with a bully (no one prepares you for that either), watching him navigate tough decisions, strengthening his sportsmanship or taking accountability... I'm constantly amazed by him. Last year was fifth grade. He seemed like a baby walking into that giant middle school. We're currently im...

2023 Taking Care of Me

For me, 2023 has been a year of conquering fears and making lifestyle changes. As parents, how often do we place ourselves on the back burner? It's so common and I am 100% guilty of it. This year, something inside of me clicked. Maybe it's the whole "wisdom with age" thing. Maybe it's finally getting the courage to go to therapy. Perhaps, it's a little bit of both. For me, it happened with a 3-step plan. It's a plan that terrified me, but I held myself accountable and put the plan into action.  Step 1: Medical Health January 2023, the 4th to be exact, started with a wellness visit to my primary care doctor. Was I even allowed to refer to her as that when I hadn't paid her a visit since 2018? Yes. 2018. Of course, we had the whole pandemic thing in the mix, but we can only use that excuse for so long. I hadn't had a women's well check since 2018. I was having all kinds of strange symptoms, that I told myself was just the downward spiral to 40 (n...

You, My Friend, Matter.

Are you someone who has put herself on the back burner? Maybe you're like me and you've neglected your healthcare needs for years? Today is the day that you make a change. Okay? Say it with me.  I matter. My health and well-being matters. How did that feel? Was it hard to say? Did it leave you with a pit in your stomach? That pit in your stomach is your body's way of telling you that you need to make a change. I decided that a new year was the perfect time to push myself to make an appointment and take the first steps toward medical wellness. Self-care is a topic that we hear about almost daily. We're told to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. Make time to rest. Eat well. Exercise. Have a good skincare routine. Declutter our spaces. Listen to our bodies. Meditate. Be mindful. The list goes on and on....and while I have mastered many of those things, I also realize that medical wellness also fits into the equation (whether I want to admit it or no...
