21 week bumpdate!

Black was not the best option for a bump picture but beleive me it's there!








How far along? 21 weeks over halfway there!!!!

Total weight gain: No idea and honestly I’m not too worried about it. I had a long talk with a friend that is a nurse and she said this to me and a lightbulb went off  she said “your body knows what it needs during this pregnancy maybe your gaining all this weight to help your babies early on so that if you do deliver early they got a chance to beef up a little bit” She’s right! My body was made to do this and so I’m listening to it.
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. The pelvic pressure is insane and I feel it most at night. I have it in the notes in my phone to ask my dr about it next week at our appointment
Best moment this week: Our gender reveal is this weekend so we have been working on final prep for that. It’s crazy to think that we will know so soon what we are having. Plus we have some baby names nailed down and that will change depending on the genders.
Miss Anything? For some reason this week I really wanted a glass of wine. First time this whole pregnancy. And a deli sub as in not hot I really wanted a ham and cheese cold sub.
 Movement: Yes two ninjas in there. I can feel them from the outside but I swear they know when Michael is trying to feel them and stop.

Food cravings: Turkey back with cheese melted on it 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: I feel like I’m okay right now nothing affecting me too much.
 Gender: We will know this weekend!
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: Gender reveal!!!!
Grayson: He still likes to kiss my belly and snuggle his babies sometimes. He knows he’s going to be a big brother and he told me he will help feed and burp them.
I’m trying to focus on the happy things like two babies but really this week has been rough on my body and I know why it’s because I have been over doing it. I will have more information on that after a specialist appointment today for Grayson because we are hoping for some answers when it comes to him. I’m just hoping for a relaxing weekend so that my body and rest a little bit.

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 ...

Friday Random

Sometimes it's nice to just write about what is going on. So here it goes....... I took Grayson to the store with me to grab a gift card. We can into Dollar General the store I have a love/hate relationship with. The isle's are so crowded and there are a million and one things for Grayson to grab. Needless to say he grabbed tic-tacs, a phone charger and certs all within the first 2 seconds of being there. Once I got him wrangled he asked for a "Dora ba-la-loon" (balloon) I agreed since he had gotten a super good report from school that day. And hey it was a dolla so why not. So we get the balloon, the gift card, and the cards I needed for father's day and head to checkout. Where he grabs to candy bars and laughs because he knows it's naughty. Anyway we get cashed out after lots of redirection and head to the car where he does not want to hold my hand in the parking lot because he wants to run! So I grab his arm and the whole time he is yelling "no m...
