30 Weeks



Babies Are The Size Of: Over 3 lbs each! We won't know the new weights until our next growth ultrasound in two weeks. 
Maternity Clothes: Dresses, capris, shorts and tanks! 
Stretch Marks: In the beginning stages, but doing pretty well for 30 weeks with two!
Sleep: Not sleeping very well anymore. I always feel like I'm crushing one of the babies and it's getting hard to maneuver, roll over and get comfortable. Plus having a 3 year old snuggling up to you makes it even more difficult! 
Belly Button: Outie
Feeling: My energy levels are dropping, but I'm still going even if it's slowly but surely!
Symptoms: Rib pains on the right side, tiredness, shortness of breath and those lovely, Braxton Hicks contractions usually 6 or more times a day!
Missing Anything? Really wanting a caesar salad, but can't because it contains raw eggs. Coffee smells good again and I can't wait to have my morning cups in the coming months!
Movement: These little girls are getting more crowded with each week, making their movements even bigger and more noticeable. There have been a couple that have literally caused pain! 
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Haven't been struggling with that anymore! Just substitute queasy for tired! 
Cravings: Watermelon and blue icees plus french onion dip! 
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: Had a wonderful baby shower over the weekend! Also had another ultrasound last Monday and discovered that Baby B has......HAIR!!! And it looks like lots of it! I was convinced that I would have baldies! Baby A appears to be bald, so it looks like I'll be taping a bow to her head! haha 
Looking Forward To: Finishing our last little bits of baby prep!
Next Appointment: Monday

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...
