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

Hashi-Huh?

The feeling of being trapped in your own body as it spirals out of control....how many of you have felt that way? I started 2023 in the doctor's office to talk about the crazy symptoms I had been experiencing (yet trying to deny) for the last year. Here's a run-down of the hot mess-ness that I found all consuming for far too long: Hair Loss Uncontrollable Weight Gain Debilitating Fatigue  Joint & Muscle Pain Terrible Menstrual Cycles Sensitivity to Cold Anxiety and Depression I remember absolutely cringing inside as I put this laundry list of front of my doctor. My inner narrative (this is something I'm still working on) can be so harsh and I had myself convinced that I was being a baby and needed to suck it up. However, "suck it up" was no longer an option. My TSH levels indicated a thyroid issue, which was commonly linked to the list of symptoms I presented. The first diagnosis was that of Hypothyroid Disorder and I was immediately put on Levothyroxin.  Mont...

I Hate This.

It's taken me years to finally get the courage to address several areas of my own well-being. It all started with a trip to the doctor during the first week of January. I received so much insight into issues I've been experiencing and problems that I had been choosing to ignore. I've been on medications for over a month and I truly feel like a brand new version of me.  Growing up, medication was something that was frowned upon and feared in our household. Once I became a parent, my entire perspective shifted. I knew that I would do anything in my power to give my children relief from whatever they may be experiencing. From everyday colds, to the flu, ear infections and even a journey into Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis , we've overcome a lot....thanks to modern medicine. However, there is one particular person who was left behind in this journey.  Me.  How often have we kept ourselves on the back burner as moms? How many times have we made appointments for our kids, tak...

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...
