2 little heartbeats sitting in a belly

So Monday was an exciting day for my IPs!!!! We had our first visit to the Drs since I stopped meds and they were able to see their little nuggets again!!!! The parents are now so excited and I'm so thrilled they are ready to start telling the world about their baby boys! 
This week is week 12 - we have two little plums in there - twin A and twin B(pictured above). On the ultrasound you could see them both moving and waving their little arms and kicking. It was precious! And so made my heart happy to see the IPs so happy!!! Due date is April 2nd and the babies are measuring perfectly. If there's one thing I do well, its grow beautiful healthy babies!!!
I also asked about flu shots and massages. And I'm good to go on both!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!
So what's happening in the pregnancy world you ask?

  • Nausea is in full swing
  • Can't sleep on my belly
  • Can't really sleep period. I keep waking up in the middle of the night randomly and am just. Awake. (Hence I'm writing tonite's blog post)
  • Belly is very much there
  • Large pants or maternity pants are a must!! 
  • Butt is still numb from all the shots but I hear that will get better in a month or so
  • Cravings aren't too bad. I know what I don't want rather than what I do want. 
  • I'm tired incessantly. All the time. 24 hours a day I wish I was asleep. 
  • Emotions are more stable now and mood swings less frequent. (I think?)
  • Not as hot all the time except when I sleep. I'm an oven. Literally and figuratively. 
My daughters are all very excited too. Mady rubs my belly and says "Hi babies!" - now this happens usually because she pushed on my belly and hurt me then will talk to them. It's terribly adorable. And it's hard for me to get mad at her! Haha!
I know this is a lot of info for a blog post! But I'm so excited for my IPs. They deserve this so much!!!! I can't wait to see them holding their little boys!!!

The 'Post' post

Hello again, friends. Today's installment will be talking about what all I've done since having the twins. I've had lots of positive feedback from my last blog and I want to thank all of you for your continued support, love and feedback.  In my last post, I talked about the emotional ups and downs I experienced but there has been so much more to tell you! Right after we had the twins, I think I mentioned before that I had to receive 2 units of blood, I was extremely weak and exhausted. I had never had a C-Section before. I knew that I was prone to be anemic when I wasn't pregnant, but I did not know I was borderline anemic while being pregnant. I mean, I craved red meat and dark greens, so I should have known... but I thought that was just the babies fighting for craving rights to my body! Haha! After being moved to my recovery room, I was still hooked up to all the things from the C-section - IV, catheter, oxygen, heart monitor. I wasn't allowed to walk yet and t...

Lets discuss the hard stuff...

It's been a while since I've posted... and I'm sorry for that. I am so grateful for the boyfriend and all of my friends/family who have reached out and checked up on me to see how I'm doing.  First question I know you're all wondering... How are the babies!? They are doing amazingly! Their parents are ROCKSTARS!!!! The babies are the sweetest and best nuggets ever!!! I'm so blessed that the parents allow me to keep up with them and see their adorable faces. This was an important aspect for me when deciding to pair up with the parents and they are very sweet to check on me even when they're raising two newborns! Next most common question I get is how are my emotions. This, in my opinion, is the hardest part of the experience/process. I expected to have the emotional roller coaster but there were so many things I didn't expect. I have never been one to hide away from pointing out the elephant in the room... so let's just get into this, shall we...

a world of change

Hi Friends! I know it has been WAY TOO LONG since I've updated you. I did exactly what I needed to do over the Holidays and that was rest and spend time with those I love. This was the first year I did not see my family in Texas. I do miss them so much, but it just wasn't safe for me to travel down there and due to the hurricane recovery, my family wasn't able to come up this way as they're still trying to finish getting their houses back together and find their new normal. But you can bet your rears I rested, napped, played with the kids, spent time with My Favorite and even was able to have a Christmas dinner and spend quality time with my IPs!  Well, when I went back to work last week, I started having contractions and started swelling pretty bad. There are days when I am on my feet a lot and super active and then days where I'm sitting a lot and neither of these things are good for controlling swelling and keeping contractions at bay. We had my 28 week a...
