19 Week Bumpdate





How far along? 19 weeks over halfway there!!!!

Total weight gain: The holidays did me in I’m up 18 ish pounds. I say ish because they weigh you before you pee and with all your clothes on and hello it’s winter I have on 3 shirts, jeans and boots. So who knows how much plus I went right after lunch with a full belly. My doctor didn’t seem too concerned.
Maternity clothes? Yes maternity clothes with some regular tops still mixed in
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion nightly after my shower and in the morning

Sleep: Horrible this week. I woke up several times covered in sweat and just could not get comfortable. I had to start taking a Tylenol before bed just to be able to fall asleep because my back was so bad at the end of the day.
Best moment this week: Christmas!!! Grayson was adorable, and we got some cute things for the twins.
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: Oreos pizza chip dip and cheese. Why can’t I crave healthy food?
Anything making you queasy or sick: No smoothies and the smell of lunchmeat is still horrible to me
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: I feel very heavy. I fear that a maternity support belt is in my future very soon because I just feel low and have a ton of pressure.
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 has started to give the babies a kiss goodnight. He lifts up my shirt and says “let me kiss dem babies mommy” it’s super sweet. He also bought them each their own lovie for Christmas. He was so proud and happy that he got them their first present.


Our sonogram was great. The babies are both doing great and still measuring a little (about 6 days) ahead of what they should be which is not a bad thing. Baby A is about 11 oz and Baby B is around 10oz. I’m thankful that we don’t have to worry about twin to twin transfer because they each have their own placenta so that is a huge relief. Both have strong heartbeats Baby A 145 and Baby B 148. It is my favorite to just sit and watch them plus they are both movers and shakers. The doctor commented that we didn’t seem enthusiastic during the sonogram (this is not my doctor but the specialist where we had to have our 18 week done) and I said I’m just taking it all in doc. It’s still such a miracle to me that I have two babies in there so I think that when I see them I’m still in shock/awe with it all.

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...
