25 Weeks



Babies Are The Size Of: Baby A is 1 lb 13 oz; Baby B is 1 lb 3 oz; Both are over 13 inches long! Growing so fast! 
Maternity Clothes: It's getting hot! That's all I'm going to say about that! 
Stretch Marks: None
Sleep: Lots of tossing and turning and extra bathroom breaks
Belly Button: Pretty much non-existent by now!
Feeling: Extra tired from time to time and my body aches, but good otherwise. 
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, tiredness, major thirst, irritable
Missing Anything? Wine 
Movement: These little ones are always on the move! You can watch them move now, which is fun and they love to spend time in my rib cage and/or kick me in the bladder region! 
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Still lavender and the texture of lots of things
Cravings: Why do I love corn dogs so much? Fresh greens, strawberries, anything cold!
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: Had an amazing ultrasound on Monday. Got to see lots of features! They have changed so much. We got a very clear view of Baby A's face and she has the same nose, lips and chin as Rhylan! Baby B was stubborn and hiding her face. Everything looks perfectly healthy on both babies. We learned that Baby A is quite a bit bigger than B as well.
Looking Forward To: Working on the nursery, shopping and baby showers!
Next Appointment: June 30th for the glucose tolerance test

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...

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...
