Are They Ready To Come Out Yet?

Having a long holiday weekend made for a lot of extra time to spend on nursery prep! Everything has been painted, the cribs are up and everything is sorted and organized! After our showers, we'll be able to fill everything in and we will be officially ready for our new additions! 

 Now that the room is functional and livable, Rhylan responded with, "Mommy, are the babies ready to come out now?" I had to explain to him that they are definitely not ready to leave mommy's tummy yet, but if they decide to surprise us, then we will be ready for them. He then said, "Can I play with the babies when they come over?" I told him that they won't be very playful for a while, but he will get to love on them lots and lots. He seems like he is getting so excited for his siblings. And I seriously cannot wait to see the look on his face when he first meets them. 

 Approaching 28 weeks is a crazy feeling! It's reassuring now, because if they do happen to come early, they have a high chance of survival and the hospital will do anything and everything that they can for them. So this has put Michael and I into baby prep mode! You can never be too prepared, because multiple pregnancies don't always go as planned. 

 I've started packing my hospital bag now, so that I can continue adding to it as necessary. And I have the girls' outfits picked out for pictures and coming home from the hospital. I do think that I'm going to purchase a couple premie outfits just in case they are super tiny. It's really hard to say! 

 We are so incredibly excited and feeling so blessed for 3 upcoming showers in the coming month! I cannot wait to celebrate with those near and dear to us! 

 Let's hope that they are not ready to come out yet, despite what big brother Rhylan says! Keep on cooking baby girls! Mommy cannot wait to hold you!

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...
