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

Hashi-Huh?

The feeling of being trapped in your own body as it spirals out of control....how many of you have felt that way? I started 2023 in the doctor's office to talk about the crazy symptoms I had been experiencing (yet trying to deny) for the last year. Here's a run-down of the hot mess-ness that I found all consuming for far too long: Hair Loss Uncontrollable Weight Gain Debilitating Fatigue  Joint & Muscle Pain Terrible Menstrual Cycles Sensitivity to Cold Anxiety and Depression I remember absolutely cringing inside as I put this laundry list of front of my doctor. My inner narrative (this is something I'm still working on) can be so harsh and I had myself convinced that I was being a baby and needed to suck it up. However, "suck it up" was no longer an option. My TSH levels indicated a thyroid issue, which was commonly linked to the list of symptoms I presented. The first diagnosis was that of Hypothyroid Disorder and I was immediately put on Levothyroxin.  Mont...

I Hate This.

It's taken me years to finally get the courage to address several areas of my own well-being. It all started with a trip to the doctor during the first week of January. I received so much insight into issues I've been experiencing and problems that I had been choosing to ignore. I've been on medications for over a month and I truly feel like a brand new version of me.  Growing up, medication was something that was frowned upon and feared in our household. Once I became a parent, my entire perspective shifted. I knew that I would do anything in my power to give my children relief from whatever they may be experiencing. From everyday colds, to the flu, ear infections and even a journey into Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis , we've overcome a lot....thanks to modern medicine. However, there is one particular person who was left behind in this journey.  Me.  How often have we kept ourselves on the back burner as moms? How many times have we made appointments for our kids, tak...

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...
