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

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...

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...

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...
