Eventful Weekend (To Say The Least)

Friday started out as a rough day. I had a bizarre spell at work and had to leave. I started to feel incredibly weak. I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, but at the same time, my head felt like it wasn't receiving any oxygen. Something was definitely not right. I put my head down and the inner ear buzzing began. I broke into a huge sweat, my face becoming drenched. I immediately told Michael to come and get me, because I knew that if I passed out at my desk, no one would know from where I sit. 

Turns out my blood pressure dropped dramatically causing me to feel like this. Apparently this experience is common with twins. It was definitely scary, but at the same time, I could feel my girls moving, so I knew they were okay. With some rest, I felt much better. I hope I do not feel like that again. I'm so thankful for my wonderful husband taking care of me. 

Saturday we had a yard sale  where I sold almost all of Rhylan's clothes from newborn to 3T! We made a great profit to put toward clothes for our baby girls! Successful garage sale if you ask me! Rhylan also sold some of his boy baby toys. I told him that if he sold some of his baby toys, then he could get that Captain America shield and mask that he's been asking me for. 

That night, we took Rhylan to the store to spend his money on Captain America gear. He was one very excited little boy! Who knew that playing Captain America would soon land our little man in the ER. He decided that he needed to run around on our couch, lost his footing and fell landing his face on our coffee table, causing a sizable gash on his face. 

Michael and I didn't hesitate and headed straight for the ER. It definitely looked like he could possibly need stitches. He was such a little trooper and was incredibly brave, just like his favorite superheroes. Luckily he didn't require stitches, just glue to close the gash. Three hours later, we were finally able to go home at around one in the morning! He earned his first battle scar on his cute little face. The doctor was reassuring in saying that being as little as he was, that his scar should heal up quite nicely. I think the whole thing was harder on mommy than it was on him. He told the doctor that he felt much better even before they applied the glue. I think he thought we could take him home if he said that. 

I'm pretty sure that I am going to have to put those pool noodles around the edges of everything in my house once the twins get here! It just breaks a mom's heart when her little one is hurt. You wish you could take their place. 

Next on Rhylan's wish list? Hulk hands! Uh oh...

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...
