13 week Bumpdate!

I know I know I skipped 12 weeks but I promise to be better week 12 was just crazy but more on that later!




How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain: 7 lbs according to my last drs appoint but that was with boots on and after lunch
Maternity clothes? Kind of I busted out a few pairs of maternity jeans this week but other than that normal clothes still
Stretch marks? No new ones.
Sleep: Pretty good. I got my pregnancy pillow and love it! It for sure makes a difference as far as my sound sleeping I don’t flip and flop as much but sometimes I have a hard time settling in for the night if I have been super active that day my hips just kill me.
Best moment this week: My Grandma called me and told me she found a box of quarters that my Grandpa had hidden in the attic and she is using those to buy some things for the twins so that they can have a piece of him too. I cried when she told me that. We got to see the babies again! We had our 12 week ultrasound at the specialist and they ran a bunch of tests and did a full sonogram and wow they have changed so much already.
Miss Anything? Being able to do all my normal things. Grocery shopping knocks me out for the rest of the night
Movement:
 Little flutters here or there it’s very sporadic.

Food cravings: Hot pretzels, hot ham and cheese sandwhiches which I ate 4 times last week for dinner, chicken ceaser salad and pizza. I wish I was one of those girls who craved fruits and veggies but my body loves carbs.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Eggs are still touch and go and the smell of leftovers make me dry heave.
Gender: Yes we know but we are not saying yet. It was a tentative guess on Baby A since it was such a wiggle worm so we are waiting until our 18 week for the thumbs up that the guess was right.
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: Exhaustion. I’m tired all the time, and sore tata’s they are killing me.
Belly Button in or out? In I’m in that akward did she eat to many tacos or is she pregnant phase.
Wedding rings on or off? on
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!
Looking forward to: Thanksgiving!
Grayson: He told Michael the other day that he was excited to be a big broder but he didn’t want da babies to play wif his toys. Fair enough kid they won’t be doing that for a long time. He looks at my belly and says “nope no babies in der yet guess daddy hasn’t gotten dem at da store” Love him. 

 Seeing the babies on the sonogram was just awesome.The sonogram lasted 1.5 hours and we got to see their hearbeats and watch them wiggle. They moved a TON. They tested them for down syndrome and some other things and pending my blood work they both are low risk! Which is awesome. I go back to my docotor on Tuesday and we will schedule my 18 week ultrasound.

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets!   Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a

Home Schooling

Ah home schooling something that all of the country was thrown into. March 13 th was the last day that Grayson went to school and Charlotte and Marshalls last day was March 12 th . We got the call on March 15 th that school was closed for 2 weeks and that a pick up for at home materials would be on Tuesday. It was not required just suggested and so we loosely did school work. A worksheet here, spelling words here, some math problems ya know simple things. We truly believed that 2 weeks and they would be back in the classroom that is what the district presented as happening and so the distance learning was just to occupy time not to really learn anything new. Everything we were given was review.  Then we got the notification March 30 th we were closed again for another 2 weeks. Again, we were being loose with the learning because I was now working from home all but one day a week and had all three kids home and lets be honest it was a lot. Michael was still working 4-5 days a wee
