My last belly picture at 34 weeks Went to a regular prenatal check-up with my OB 5 days later, and she recommended going to the hospital to get a steroid shot. I was 3cm dilated and experiencing a few signs that the babies were going to come soon, so she wanted me to be on […]
Arden, Lately, I have found myself often thinking: I am so proud of you. I think it when I hear you say a new word, or ask me an intricate question, or answer my questions appropriately. A personal favorite of mine is the other day when I asked you what your favorite color is. You […]
Here we are, THREE MONTHS IN with the twin babies. As with every phase of motherhood, it has gone by so fast, yet we feel like we’ve had them forever. I never thought I would say this, but the pregnancy — with all its discomfort, sickness, and pain — is a distant memory. Funny how […]
Truth be told, I have a draft of the twins’ birth story ready to go once I add pictures (which has sat in the drafts folder for weeks) and two and a half month’s worth of baby updates to write and post. At this point, I’m going to have to do a big update when […]
One of the main words that comes to mind when I think about these girls is surprise. From the beginning, surprise; from the first ultrasound, surprise; from the ultrasound that revealed their gender, surprise; from their early delivery, surprise. I wasn’t fully expecting to get pregnant when I did, or for the one baby to […]
Well, a lot has happened since I last posted! The twinnies are HERE, now 11 days old. And they are lovely. The whirlwind began April 19 after a routine prenatal checkup. Clara Louise and Ruby Joy came by c section Thursday, April 20 at 3:36pm. Both weighed 5lbs 10oz, in true identical twin style. There […]
34 weeks, 1 day with the twins Well, here we are. The part where I’m a little done with feeling like a spectacle everywhere I go. I’m a pro now at avoiding eye contact and, when that doesn’t work, answering all the questions with as much patience and enthusiasm as I can muster. May 4…yes, these […]
33 weeks….measuring 43 weeks😳 (according to what is standard in singleton pregnancies) This update will be short and…real:). Babies are growing great. 4lbs 10oz and 4lbs 13oz. That’s over 9lbs of baby in there– more than I’ve carried before. And I’m feeling it. The pain and the pressure in the pelvic region is getting intense. […]
31 weeks, 3 days Well. This update is not going to be rosy…it’s been a rough day. Things are quickly getting real hard physically. I am experiencing a lot of downward pressure, aches, and Braxton-hicks (non-labor) contractions. Little tasks are laborious and if I try and do too much (or even just expend the energy […]
27 weeks 3 days with the girls! So, here I am, at the end of the 2nd trimester already!! It really is flying by at this point. I’m sure it will all come to a screeching halt after about 30 weeks but we’ll see. And…the belly. Let’s talk about that. It’s getting big. Like…I need […]
