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.

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

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 ...

Conferences, Grocery Pick up and trying to get out the door

I had grand plans to document our day on Friday. I was going for an every hour sort of thing and then after the 3rd hour lost track I will shoot for next Friday though we will see I'm off on Friday's ( all the happy faces for a 4 day work week and the $$$ saved on daycare ) It was our February break from school so Grayson is home too. I get up at 6:15 on Fridays which is sleeping for me because during the week I'm up at 5 and I head downstairs to do a workout. I'm in a funk right now with that stuff but I still move my body. Today I did a 10 min arm video and 10 min lower body video. I stretch for a few mins and I'm done just in time for Grayson to come wandering down the stairs. I chug some water. Check in with Michael and head upstairs to get Marshall and Charlotte from their beds. They both woke up dry (we are in the throws of potty training and are still in pull ups at night for now) They charge downstairs yelling that they have to pee and demanding...
