26 week bump date



Just for fun at the end I posted my picture from my 20 week lets just say wow how much has changed in 6 weeks.



How far along? 26 weeks

Total weight gain: 40 pounds I go to the doctors today so we will see if this has changed
Maternity clothes? Yes I wish it was acceptable to wear yoga pants all day everyday. Plus this whole winter thing is tough while pregnant because the struggle to get boots on is real. Can it be flip flop weather yet?
Stretch marks? No new ones. Using lotion twice a day morning and night.

Sleep: I take it when I can get it. My hip pain is off the charts and so getting comfortable to sleep is pretty rough I had a really good night of sleep last night so that was good.
Best moment this week: A day date with my hubby, and seeing pictures of Grayson sledding with my parents while we were shopping
Miss Anything? I can’t wait to sleep on my stomach!
 Movement: Yes two ninjas in there. And this week my stomach has started having very lop sided moments

Food cravings: Raisin Bran I could sit down and eat a whole box. I have been digging my yogurt and English muffin with peanut butter. Now that I’m writing this I could go for a nice big chocolate milkshake.
Anything making you queasy or sick: The heartburn has been better but I still have some acid reflux. Cutting down on the acid foods has helped but has been hard because I have been digging the little halo oranges
 Gender: Boy and Girl
Labor Signs: Nope

Symptoms: Lower back and hip pain. My stomach has felt like it is going to burst open a couple times this week because of how they have been positioned. Thankfully putting on lotion and laying on my side has relieved it, I know this is something that will just keep happening because I’m only going to get bigger.
Belly Button in or out? Out and Grayson keeps asking me why I have a button sticking out.
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 appointment today. I always like to hear those heartbeats and getting the nursery finished
Grayson: He loves to lay on my belly while we watch TV, plus he keeps telling me that he will help take care of the babies but only to burp them.
So Monday we went and got the rest of the things we need for the twins. Our big things were a second car seat and base and monitor plus a lot of other small things like sheets, burp cloths, swaddles, bottles and bibs. Well I love that we have it all done and I love technology because I was able to price compare on Amazon right in the store and saved us close to $200 because Amazon was cheaper. The rest of the packages should be here today and then over the next two weekends we will work on getting the nursery organized and all ready for the babies. Everything says have it all ready by 30 weeks and I think we will be able to get that done. My Mom is going to come over and help Michael finish up with cleaning and such and then we can organize things. We didn’t buy a ton of clothes because I want to see what size they will be before we go crazy buying newborn and such. Plus the clothes that my family has already bought is more than enough. That little girl has a ton of cute dresses. Michael did pick out one clothing item for each of them and we did get them snow suits for the next winter because they were on sale for $12.00. Can’t beat that. I’m just really so excited and happy. I know that things will get done and that it’s okay to ask for help. I’m really trying to focus on doing special things with Grayson while it’s still just him. I have a fun weekend getaway planned for us next weekend.

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
