34 Weeks - Officially In The Clear!

Babies Are The Size Of: Both girls are in the healthy 5 pound range!
Maternity Clothes: I'm starting to get over the maternity wardrobe and cannot wait to work myself back into regular clothes!
Stretch Marks: Nothing new on that front.
Sleep: Definitely not sleeping well anymore.
Belly Button: Outie/Non-Existent
Feeling: Incredibly tired! By the time I get off of work, I'm exhausted and don't want to do anything but rest.
Symptoms: This rib pain is getting to be a lot to handle and my doctor says that it's just something that I have to power through and that it will go away with delivery. I'm getting waves of nausea the further along that I get, which is odd, because I didn't have it throughout the rest of the pregnancy. Add those two things to cramps, acid reflux, back pain, leg circulation problems and exhaustion. I'd be lying if I said at this point that twin pregnancy is a "walk in the park".
Missing Anything? Energy
Movement: Big movements causing my belly to move in waves, because they are so tight in there!
Anything Making You Queasy or Sick? Nausea & Acid Reflux
Cravings: Back to the blue icee this week!
Wedding Ring: Still in-tact
Big Moments: I'm officially in the clear to deliver if these babies decide to arrive! Our goal is 36 weeks! Doctor's appointment last Monday went well. Baby B looks like she'll be born first at this time. She has dropped her head into my pelvis. Both babies are still head down and in great position. Really hoping this is a good sign that labor will come soon!
Looking Forward To: My prenatal massage tonight! I've never had one and I'm really hoping for some pain relief from it.
Next Appointment: Monday

Are You Sitting Down?

That's the very question, I've asked anyone close to me before breaking our news. So are you sitting down? Let's go back three days ago - 9:30 in the morning, I confidently walked into my doctor's office to talk about my 2nd pregnancy. I mean what was there to worry about? This isn't my first rodeo, ya know. I was cool, confident and collected. I was 9 weeks and 5 days along. I sat through the routine questions. You know, the ones where they ask you if you do club drugs? I talked to my doctor about what I've been experiencing, including frequent nausea and unbearable fatigue that literally knocks me out by 7:30 pm. I had already gained 8 pounds, which was shocking, because I've been eating well and working out. But the doctor was not concerned with that and said, "Let's take a look at your little one ." I was so anxious to see that little bean with a flickering heart ever since I got that positive pregnancy test! So this was the moment,...

Shock - Acceptance - Excitement

I really want to share my thoughts during this journey for anyone who may have been in my shoes. And to reassure them that what they are feeling is perfectly normal (at least that's what I tell myself). Everyone handles big news differently. I chose to freak out and panic! Others are more like what you see on TV! Either way, welcome to our crazy journey! The next day, I walked into work and decided to let the big news out. I mean anyone walking by my desk must wonder what's going on. What they normally see is a woman who takes pride in her appearance. That day, that got a completely different version of me; makeup-less, sleep deprived and frightened. I'm having (choke) twins! I decided to show the ultrasound photo of my babies (still getting used to saying and hearing babies). I was immediately swept up in excitement and joy! They could not have been happier for me. This is where I started to feel the tiniest bit better. They were thinking of names and talking a...

Seize the....Target Store?

Last weekend, I had the itch for a day trip. So along with my momma, we packed up my three kiddos and headed out of town to do some shopping. Now let me just say that in the morning as I got the kids fed, bathed and dressed; as I loaded up the car with anything that we could potentially need on our day out, my conscience told me to stay home. I should've listened...Target is just not the same with three little kids in tow. Here's a breakdown of Target with two toddlers and a five year old. Rhylan: "Mom can we please go to the toys?" Me: "You have to be a good boy through the entire store and then we will go visit the toys last." Five seconds pass.... Rhylan: "Mom can we please go to the toys?" Me: "You have to be a good boy through the entire store and then we will go visit the toys last." You get the idea.... I finally cave and head to the toy section with the hopes that a new toy will keep Rhylan occ...
