31 Weeks



Babies Are The Size Of: We find out weights on August 11th. But I'm guessing approaching the 4 pound mark! 
Maternity Clothes: Dresses, capris, shorts and tanks! 
Stretch Marks: Not too many that are noticeable. But I still have time! 
Sleep: I've had a few really deep nights of sleep! I don't know if it's my body's way of gearing up for this experience, but it's nice! 
Belly Button: Outie
Feeling: I'm really starting to slow down (as stubborn as I am). My belly is getting very heavy feeling, I'm super tired and get really short of breath. Also loving this mild summer we've had. Super thankful for that! 
Symptoms: Rib pains on the right side, tiredness, shortness of breath and those lovely, Braxton Hicks contractions usually 6 or more times a day! Feeling really heavy overall. 
Missing Anything? Being able to clean my house at my Crystal rate of speed! Now it takes me so much longer, because I get really tired or my feet swell. 
Movement: So much movement and BIG movements! I'd say they are getting more squished in there by the week!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Nope thank goodness! 
Cravings: This week I haven't been hungry like normal. So I'm just trying to keep munching on healthy snacks for the girls. 
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: We had our maternity pictures last week! Love them! Also, I packed our hospital bags and we ordered our last big necessitates for the girls. We will be ready when they decide to grace us with their presence. Feels really good! 
Looking Forward To: My baby shower with the Melrose ladies! 
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...
