32 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: I have been pretty fortunate thus far, especially with twins! I was actually bigger with my first pregnancy believe it or not! Some of the stretch marks from my first pregnancy are reappearing. 
Sleep: I've really been struggling with heartburn/acid reflux which is due to everything getting cramped and causing my stomach to push acid back into my esophagus. So sleeping hasn't been great this last week! Braxton Hicks wake me as well. 
Belly Button: Outie
Feeling: I'm really starting to slow down. My belly is getting very heavy feeling, I'm super tired and get really short of breath. 
Symptoms: Rib pains on the right side, ankle pain, tiredness, shortness of breath, Braxton Hicks, overall exhausted! 
Missing Anything? My regular wardrobe and getting to purchase cute clothes! 
Movement: These girls are incredibly active! At my weekly appointments I've been informed that I have the opposite problem compared to most twin moms as far as testing. Most babies are not active enough and mine are so active that they have a difficult time getting a reading on them!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Acid Reflux
Cravings: I can't get enough of blue icees! 
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: At my last appointment, both babies were in the perfect, head down position! This is huge! As I've already scheduled a c-section due to Baby A remaining breech. My doctor is incredibly optimistic about everything and said if I can make it two more weeks with them being head down, then she will cancel the c-section with hopes of a natural birth! They are getting very cramped, which means less room for movement/shifting, so I'm not losing hope that it could happen! 
Looking Forward To: Passing the 34 week mark! 
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...
