22 Week Bump Date!

Snapped this right before I jumped in the shower last night and note to self that shirt is almost too short ha!



How far along? 22 weeks

Total weight gain: I’m up some absurd amount that my doctor is not concerned about details at the bottom
Maternity clothes? Yes maternity clothes with some regular tops still mixed in barely they are not becoming too short!
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion twice a day morning and night.

Sleep: Off and on. So I talked to my doctor about the pelvic pain and he said that since I had a previous c-section that it was the scar tissue from that stretching and that Tylenol would help and a luke warm bath so I will start trying those
Best moment this week: Finding out we are having a little boy and a little girl. We are so excited and in love with the babies already. And finding out with family and hearing the cheers was amazing.
Miss Anything? Being able to roll over in bed without pain and stomach/back sleeping. My hips are feeling the side sleeping.
 Movement: Yes two ninjas in there. Michael finally felt them this week.

Food cravings: Turkey bacon with cheese melted on it and wrapped in a whole grain tortilla. It sounds weird but it’s delicious and healthy since I measure out one serving of cheese! Cottage cheese, yogurt and still peanut butter m&m’s
Anything making you queasy or sick: Pepperoni is a no no now. I had pizza over the weekend and the heartburn was instant cheese pizza for me from now on
 Gender: A prince and a princess! One of each!
Labor Signs: No and to be honest I wouldn’t know them if they hit me in the face. With Grayson I didn’t think I was contracting until I went in to be induced and I was having off the chart contractions. I never experience Braxton hicks so I have no idea.

Symptoms: A giant belly and the fact that the pelvic pressure has sent me into tears a few times this week.
Belly Button in or out? Flat. My belly looks fake
Wedding rings on or off? My band is off but my engagement ring is on.
Happy or Moody most of the time: HAPPY!
Looking forward to: A night out with my man!
Grayson: He keeps saying that he doesn’t want to talk about a brother or a sister until he can burp them. Ha! I think he is getting sick of talking about the babies and not seeing them.  He did say one will be his to take care of and one will be Daddy's to take care of and he will feed them allll the bottles and burp them!

So after a rough week with Grayson being sick and an amazing weekend finding out the genders, I was super excited to go to the doctor this week. I went on Tuesday and got some pretty shocking news. I’m currently 22 weeks but my belly is measuring 30. That is 8 weeks ahead, and while measuring ahead by 4-6 weeks is normal 8 is something my doctor wants to look into. So in two weeks I go for a sonogram to check on the babies. His theory is that since I had such a large baby the first time (10 pounds 4 ounces) that my uterus knows what to do and just popped out all on its own, he also thinks that I have some large babies already in my belly so he wants to check on them. I’m hoping that’s the case because my eating has been pretty good this last month and to see such a big jump in my weight and my belly measurement was a shock. Thankfully my doctor is not concerned and just wants to keep an eye on everything.

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
