Bumpdate week 17




How far along? 17 weeks

Total weight gain: I stepped on the scale at home 10 pounds. Not too bad. My doctor told me between 10 and 15 by the new year so we are right on track.
Maternity clothes? Yes maternity clothes with some regular tops still mixed in
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion nightly after my shower!

Sleep: Pretty good. Still with my pregnancy pillow I wake up on my back all wrapped up in the pillow so I try to lay on my side as much as possible but these hips don’t lie and they hurt sometimes
Best moment this week: Making cookies with Grayson and I feel like I have for sure popped out these last 2 weeks. Plus we got the windows put in both the kids rooms upstairs and we finished Grayson’s dresser for his room.
Miss Anything? No but I know the end is near on doing a lot of my normal things and I will miss that.
Movement: Little flutters here or there it’s very sporadic.

Food cravings: Cookies, chocolate, oreos. I have for sure started my sweet tooth phase.
Anything making you queasy or sick: No smoothies and the smell of lunchmeat is still horrible to me
Gender: December 28 is our official sonogram
Labor Signs: No
Symptoms: I have some round ligament still but knock on wood no siatic pain since last week.
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 was playing with Michael blowing raspberries on each other and he came over pulled up my shirt and said I get dem babies too and blew a raspberry on my stomach. My hormones kicked in and I laughed and cried because it was so sweet and funny.
Our next appointment is on the 22nd and then we have our sonogram on the 28th. So I’m just looking forward to enjoying the holidays and then getting to know who these two babies are that are growing in my belly. Plus I’m for sure carrying different than I did with Grayson. With him I was so high and now I’m just more out than high, if that makes sense.

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 ...

We got a van!!!

Words I didn't think I would ever type. That I drive a mini-van. A soccer mom car if you will. I loved my Jeep. I knew it would be fine for 2 kids. I was content in keeping it until it was paid off and then getting a different car. I just loved it that much. Then October 27th we found out we would be having 2 babies and that equals 3 car seats and my wonderful Jeep just didn't cut it anymore. We did a ton of research. Weighed our options. Looked into a ton of different cars and even bounced around the idea of trying to make my car work. But then it hit me. I'm alone in the mornings. It is just me that will have to load 3 kids into a car and trying to cram them all into my small (ish) jeep was not something I wanted to battle 3 mornings a week and in the winter. So I knew where I wanted to go and that was a mini-van. I wanted AWD and that narrowed me down to the Toyota Sienna. My cousin sells cars so we contacted him and set up an appointment and went up to...
