23 week bumpdate!



No pictures this week I forgot to take it before I left for work and we have not mirror that can fit my big self all in one shot! 



How far along? 23 weeks

Total weight gain: No clue I have an appointment next week
Maternity clothes? Yes maternity clothes with some regular tank tops mixed in I always wear one under my brace and I love the Mossimo ones from Target but even the Larges are getting too short I may have to move up the XL just for length
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion twice a day morning and night. I might be making the switch to coconut oil too.

Sleep: Off and on. I had a few bouts of insomnia this weekend and then the next day I was so dog tired it was awful. Plus if Grayson gets me up in the middle of the night to go potty (which yes!! We love that!) I am up for at least an hour after because I can’t get comfortable
Best moment this week: To be honest the babies moving has really picked up and I love the little reminders but other than that I have been having a rough week
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..

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: It’s more heartburn than anything and this week my beloved double stuffed oreo’s have been the biggest culprit boos!
 Gender: Boy and Girl
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: Our dr’s appointment next Thursday I’m ready to see the babies again
Grayson: He told his teachers he was having a brother and a sister and that Michael would take care of one and he would take care of one
My emotions are all over the place, I range from being overwhelmed, to over joyed, to panicked to crying about the affect it will have on Grayson and all the why’s and how’s that we still need to figure out. I’m finally starting to wade out of that madness and my list making and Jesus calling has helped so much. Plus being pregnant with all the hormones makes me a little over dramatic.

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...
