29 Weeks



Babies Are The Size Of: Baby A weighs 3 lbs 6 oz and Baby B weighs 2 lbs 13 oz! Can't believe I have six pounds of babies in there! 
Maternity Clothes: Dresses, capris, shorts and tanks! Love them! 
Stretch Marks: In the beginning stages! Unfortunately the odds of making it through a twin pregnancy stretch mark free are pretty slim! But in my opinion, they are more than worth it! 
Sleep: Lots of tossing and turning and getting comfortable is a struggle. Feeling tired more often than not. And I've been awakened by horrible leg cramps! Ouch!
Belly Button: Outie
Feeling: Sleepy and excited at the same time! 
Symptoms: Rib pains on the right side, tiredness, shortness of breath and those lovely, unpredictably Braxton Hicks just keep on coming from day to day!
Missing Anything? Did I mention that Lime-a-Ritas now come in glass bottles? Missing my favorite summer cocktails for sure! 
Movement: Moving all of the time and it's fun to watch my belly going crazy! And Baby B has had hiccups.
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? This week has been great as far as this goes. 
Cravings: Watermelon, Blue Icees 
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact; haven't had any swelling! 
Big Moments: Got to get another glimpse at the girls last Monday! Baby A has the chubbiest cheeks! Passed the first non-stress test and they are growing perfectly according to my doctor and check-up!
Looking Forward To: My baby shower on Sunday! Can't wait to see everyone and celebrate!
Next Appointment: Monday, let's hope this upcoming non-stress test and ultrasound goes smoother and that the girls will cooperate! The last ones took FOREVER! Trying to get twins to cooperate is near impossible and I can't believe I have to do it every Monday until they arrive. I might go crazy!

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...
