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!

No One Prepared Me for This

This is the part of motherhood that I feel no one prepared me for. Perhaps you can't really be prepared at all. I didn't think it would happen as quickly as it did.  I'm talking about the day you wake up and your firstborn child is looking you in the eye and well on the way to surpassing your height. Can we not?  Seriously!  Sending Rhylan to middle school last year was a very tough concept to grasp. I've come to terms with being the mother of a middle schooler. I mean...what choice do I have? In doing so, I've had a front row seat to extraordinary growth (and I'm not just talking about physically). I've watched him overcome so much. Whether it was constant encounters with a bully (no one prepares you for that either), watching him navigate tough decisions, strengthening his sportsmanship or taking accountability... I'm constantly amazed by him. Last year was fifth grade. He seemed like a baby walking into that giant middle school. We're currently im...

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...

You, My Friend, Matter.

Are you someone who has put herself on the back burner? Maybe you're like me and you've neglected your healthcare needs for years? Today is the day that you make a change. Okay? Say it with me.  I matter. My health and well-being matters. How did that feel? Was it hard to say? Did it leave you with a pit in your stomach? That pit in your stomach is your body's way of telling you that you need to make a change. I decided that a new year was the perfect time to push myself to make an appointment and take the first steps toward medical wellness. Self-care is a topic that we hear about almost daily. We're told to take care of ourselves so that we can take care of others. Make time to rest. Eat well. Exercise. Have a good skincare routine. Declutter our spaces. Listen to our bodies. Meditate. Be mindful. The list goes on and on....and while I have mastered many of those things, I also realize that medical wellness also fits into the equation (whether I want to admit it or no...
