27 Weeks...Hello 3rd Trimester!



Babies Are The Size Of: Approaching 2 lbs each and 15 inches long! 
Maternity Clothes: Proud to still be fitting in the original maternity wear that I purchased! And thanks to Erin for lending me some of hers! 
Stretch Marks: None; my belly is super smooth right now!
Sleep: I am definitely waking up more frequently, either from both girls kicking like crazy, bathroom breaks or just overall uncomfortable!
Belly Button: Non-existent; not sure if it will pop! My belly button never popped with Rhylan!
Feeling: I've had my good and bad days recently. My energy levels drastically change from one minute to the next and I have had some nausea lately.
Symptoms: Shortness of breath, ligament pains, Braxton Hicks here and there plus just overall HOT!
Missing Anything? Holding Rhylan
Movement: They move so much! I almost always feel them. I was told in the beginning that I probably wouldn't feel them like a single pregnancy and boy is that incorrect! I feel way more movement then I ever did with my first pregnancy and it's amazing!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Heat
Cravings: Watermelon and French Onion Dip
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: Nursery is painted and both cribs are put together! 
Looking Forward To: Upcoming baby showers from my side of the family, my work and Michael's work. Feeling incredibly blessed!
Next Appointment: July 14th and every week after that until I deliver for Non-Stress Tests, Ultrasounds and Check-ups

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

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...
