Only a matter of days now
This weekend we are sleeping as much as possible and conserving energy knowing that life is about to change. I actually slept from 10 PM - 8 AM! I just couldn’t help forcing myself to staying in bed a little longer despite not being totally comfortable.
The doctor’s appointment on Friday showed no changes to my […]
None Stress Test
This morning I had my first none-stress test. These are usually done on singleton pregnancies if the mother is past her due date but much earlier with twins or other high risk pregnancies. It was very simple and easy. I got to sit in this very yummie recliner, this thing was HUGE, […]
The best and the worst
Things I won’t miss about bring pregnant:
sleeping on my side
unable to sleep more then an hour at a time
always being hot
acid reflux
water retention in my feet and legs that make me look like a hobbit
people asking “when are you due?” and “do twins run in your family?
the attention
the numb fingers
drooling on my pillow while I […]
Cramped Inside
The boys are so cramped in there! At this point you can see both of their backs arched up against my belly as they attempt to make as much room as possible in their little home. I feel so bad and wish I could offer them more space. Logan tends to be […]
pregnancy randomness
Donuts, at 10 PM. This time it was Duncan Donuts. Much yummier options then Krispy Kreme in my opinion but it was all cravings so I take no responsibility!
I can’t eat much in one sitting any longer so I’m hungary every few hours. I even wake up in the middle of the night or early […]
29 weeks… are we there yet??
I don’t know if other people can see it as easily as I can but it’s become very obvious where the boys are by the strange mounds that form across or stretch my belly. They make me very lopsided so when I look down I’m like…oooh weird! They still maintain a little movement in the […]
these days
Where to begin?
Currently up 28 pounds which is perfectly on for my 27th week. Logan and Forest’s movements are very distinct and very big. Logan especially (on the left)… we sit in the evenings and watch my belly roll around. It’s something straight out of a science fiction movie.
It’s been great not […]
reality settles in
There is no words to explain what it is like to be having a meeting or participating in an interview and feel two little lives moving around inside of you. Every time I feel the boys I am overwhelmed with giggles and joy. And having to keep focused on a serious conversation during […]
catching up on Tuesday
Thursday afternoon I did in fact experience my first contractions. I’m assuming they were Braxton-Hicks: sporadic uterine contractions that actually start at about 6 weeks, although they aren’t felt that early. You don’t start to notice them until sometime after midpregnancy, some women don’t at all. They get their name from John Braxton Hicks, an […]
success
I hired my replacement for work today and he starts next Wednesday. This takes a big load off my shoulders. I’ve been so busy this week I’ve gone two days now without eating lunch and I’m not drinking as much as I should be.  And the past few weeks have been very similar; definitely not […]
