Still Pregnant and a small rant

So thankfully I'm still pregnant.


Im 34 weeks as of Thursday and that was the last day of my Procardia prescription.

I went for a NST on Monday and I had zero contractions and babies were active with great heartbeats. All wonderful things

My swelling is almost completly gone since being on bed rest and chugging water like it's the only way into heaven.

My sonogram today showed that baby A is still head down and measuring about 5 pounds 9 ounces and about a week ahead and baby B is measuring 5 pounds 12 ounces and is still break and is again about a week ahead. 
All good things 



Now it is just a waiting game. When my body goes into labor or my water breaks it will be go time.

I have been having contractions since Thursday night when I was done with my Procarida however they are all over the place so not real labor. I have to say I was a little upset when I walked out of my appointment with an appointment for next week my body's ready to be done being pregnant 

However I know the longer they stay in the better statistacly speaking at this point 1 day in is 3 days less in the NICU.

It's just hard my stomach feels like it's going to rip open and baby A's head feels like it's going to fall out. I'm just uncomfortable and praying like crazy. I have no choice but to trust Gods timing in all this. 

My other struggle is Grayson. I'm ready to be his mom again. It sucks being in a bed all day and not being able to pick him up or take him to school or do anything. 

Okay so my small rant 

Being on bed rest has left me a ton of time to read and read I have. Mostly birth stories of twins, just trying to gauge NiCU time well I have found a ton of shaming going on with comments like " when they told me I was having a c-section my life was over because I wasn't going to be able to really give birth to my babies". My problem with that statement the whole not really giving birth part. Unmedicated medicated c-section it all ends in a sweet baby and it's all giving birth. No matter what and I get being disappointed if it doesn't go the way you thought it would but to say it's not really giving birth is not okay. Anytime your body produces a baby you gave birth 


Okay end rant 


Here's to Gods timing and getting through the last stretch.

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
