Not complaining, just mentioning

There have been some interesting pregnancy side effects that I have forgotten to mention lately. Everyone says that once the babies are born the pregnancy experience is pretty much forgotten so I want to keep a memory of everything.
Several months back I bought some cute slip on tennis shoes that are also very stretchy. […]


Turning Breech Twins

I’ve started doing research on turning the babies for two reasons. First- because it would be nice to avoid a cesarean if possible and second - just because I love to research and learn new things.
The first and most highly recommended method was accupuncture. They have great success in relieving various pregnancy […]


30 weeks
