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!

What I Learned from Frugal January

While I don't believe in new year resolutions, I do believe in goals, aspirations and dreams. As a society, we're made to feel that with each new year, we must make resolutions, which more often than not, fade by March or set us up for failure. The feeling of failure is never good for the spirit, so a couple of years ago, I decided to stop giving in to that societal pressure. I have found that self-reflection is an excellent place to begin a new year and set realistic goals. This year, I started by challenging myself to what I named Frugal January. It's exactly what it sounds like. I challenged myself to only spend on necessities. I gave up runs to the coffee shop and trips to TJ Maxx. I gave up frivolous, careless and impulse-based spending, no matter how big or small it was. I asked myself one question with every single purchase decision, "do I really need this?" If I could live without it, I declined it. Did this cause me physical pain at times? Yes! There were...

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...
