Keeping Me Guessing

Before my appointment yesterday, I had convinced myself that I was going to have a scheduled c-section with these little lovelies! However, they completely surprised me as well as my doctor. Both babies are in the perfect head down position. My doctor said that if they continue for the next couple weeks, then she will cancel the scheduled c-section date with hopes of a natural birth! 

They did so great yesterday as far as cooperating for the tests and of course made for one thrilled mom to see them both in perfect position! They were both side by side, head down with their little legs crossed, like mirror images. Let's hope that it continues. The further along I get, the harder it is for them to maneuver. So them being head down at this point is a great sign! 

I can't pray and hope enough that they decide to come on their own. I really hope that it happens that way! My pregnancy with Rhylan has left me nervous, because I never thought he would come and I carried him for two weeks past my due date. I know that my doctor won't let me go past 38 weeks with twins, but I'm still very apprehensive and hope that they will come, because they are ready. 

Apparently my mommy pep talks are working! We are still praying to reach 36 weeks, which is just 4 weeks from now, a blink of an eye in pregnancy time! It's absolutely crazy to think about, but at the same time, the more uncomfortable I get with two sets of feet in my ribs, back pain and ankle pain, the more I am ready to move on to the next phase. The phase where our whole world will be turned upside down with two beautiful baby girls. We are incredibly excited and nervous all at the same time! 

I keep wondering how on earth I will handle the needs of two infants at one time plus a three year old. I just remind myself that God chose us to take this on for a reason and that over time, things will get easier. We will get into a system that works for us and our life will fall back into place. The only option is to jump into it, ready or not and feet first!

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...
