Night & Day

At almost 4 months old, it's time to really meet the girls and their personalities! 

Night and day.....that's exactly what these two girls are! We have our little miss Everly; she is the most laid back baby on the planet. She literally just goes with the flow each and every day. She's so content and always happy. We have our little miss Emersyn; she's who we call the boss! If she wants something, she wants it right now! Is it bad that we can already sense future mischief from her? 


It's amazing how their personalities from inside the womb remain outside. During my pregnancy, Emersyn was on my left side and she was constantly active, kicking all day long! I felt like a boxing match was going on in there! And during ultrasounds, she would always throw a limb into Everly's picture! Everly hardly moved, just hanging out in there. She did find a comfortable spot for her foot (my ribcage) and left it there for the last couple of months. It caused me so much discomfort, but it was all worth it. 

During the birth, I will never forget their grand entrances. Each girl was different. Emersyn was expected to arrive second, but nope! She made sure that she was first. She may the smaller baby, but don't underestimate her size. She is powerful! When she came out, she let out the biggest wail of a cry. I can still hear it. Twelve minutes later, it was time for Everly's arrival. She came out with just a little whimper and that was it! 

It's funny to watch them interact with each other. At almost four months old, they already have such a communication between them. Everly lets Emersyn snuggle up to her each and every night. They look so incredibly comfortable and comforted by each other. It will be a rough day when we have to separate them into two cribs. But for now, we love swaddling and placing them side by side. 

When it comes time for feeding, Emersyn will eat like there is no tomorrow. Sometimes I wonder if she will ever stop. Everly seems to eat just enough to be content. She'll finish and look up at me with smiles as if she is saying "Thank you for the milk Mom!" Emersyn just continues to eat and eat....and EAT! It's a wonder that she has stayed so petite. 



As they get bigger, they are developing very 
different appearances. So much for having trouble telling them apart! Emersyn seems to favor Michael with her cute little dimples and Everly seems to favor my side of the family with her cute little cheeks! I look forward to watching their personalities grow and change with each coming month and year. Being a twin mom is amazing and I feel so very blessed!

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...
