20 week bumpdate



a little front and side view also I gain all my weight in my belly and my face and arms ugh!




How far along? 20 weeks over halfway there!!!!

Total weight gain: No idea and honestly I’m not too worried about it. I gained a ton of weight with Grayson and I’m way under that so I think for me I’m doing good. I just keep telling myself that everybody’s body is different and mine likes to get big during pregnancy regardless of what I eat.
Maternity clothes? Yes maternity clothes with some regular tops still mixed in
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion twice a day morning and night.

Sleep: Off and on. It’s hard to roll over in bed without my back killing me but I’m still in love with my pregnancy pillow
Best moment this week: Spending some time just Michael and I going through our stored baby clothes I cried and was all where did my baby go. Michael said good news for you you have two in your belly that will be here soon! Ha! Also I have like 3 newborn pieces because Grayson came out 10 pounds so we skipped that phase all together. Looks like I will need to go shopping.

Miss Anything? I officially gave up grocery shopping and that was hard and I shed tears over it. I fell bad putting one more thing on my husband’s plate but I would be sore for the whole rest of the night and most of the next day so it was time. 

Movement: Yes just waiting for the outside movement so my boys can feel them.

Food cravings: Back on hot ham and cheese subs and now I’m loving my yogurt finally something healthy but then I also have been digging some peanut butter m&m’s ha! Can’t get too healthy now

Anything making you queasy or sick: Leftovers. I made sausage potato soup and the smell of it the next morning in the fridge was horrific.

Gender: We have to very sealed envelopes containing the genders that we will find out with out family’s on the 16th!

Labor Signs: No

Symptoms: Got a support belt and wear it all day at work it has done wonders for my back but at the end of the day it gets uncomfortable.

Belly Button in or out? Flat. My belly looks fake

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!

Looking forward to: Christmas festivities!

Grayson: He said to me yesterday that my belly grew overnight and that it will get bigger because we have to save the babies in there until later. He still likes to kiss my belly goodnight and snuggle "wif his babies".
I’m anxious for my next appointment on the 19th because as of right now I don’t know when the next time I will see them on a sonogram will be so I would love to see them soon. This is my last monthly appointment and then I go to every 2 weeks. I can’t believe how fast this pregnancy is going. Way faster than when I was pregnant with Grayson.

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...
