28 Weeks




Babies Are The Size Of: Over 2 lbs each and rapidly growing!
Maternity Clothes: Dresses are my friend lately! It's HOT! 
Stretch Marks: None, but starting to get some on my sides, which happened last time from everything pulling forward. 
Sleep: I'm not sleeping that great anymore, between having to stay on my side, bathroom breaks and baby kicks!
Belly Button: I'd say that I officially have an outie! 
Feeling: My biggest complaint is rib pain on the right side, but I'm feeling pretty good otherwise! 
Symptoms: Irritability with people, shortness of breath, ligament pains, Braxton Hicks here and there, plus just overall HOT!
Missing Anything? Holding Rhylan, Gym Time and COFFEE!
Movement: Tons of movement! My little girls are active!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Sometimes what I'm eating will sound good initially and then make me feel sick. 
Cravings: Eggless cookie dough (bad I know, but I only had a couple spoonfuls)! 
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: Passed my glucose tolerance test! Yay!
Looking Forward To: Upcoming baby showers from my side of the family, my work and Michael's work. Feeling incredibly blessed!
Next Appointment: Monday July 14th for a Non-Stress Test, Ultrasound and Check-up and they will be every week until I deliver. Yikes!

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.

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...
