Halfway there!! {19 weeks}

* So, how cute is my hubs? In case you missed it, he surprised me and guest posted on the ole blog yesterday. He's a mess, but man do I Iove him. Of course as I read I cried and laughed and then immediately called him asking when he wanted to go play golf... I figured that couldn't have been for nothing, he swears it was... We shall see. Regardless, I loved it.*

HALFWAY THERE!!!!!!!

Maybe more, who knows!?! *Again, I am not a doctor; but mine told me 36 weeks is average delivery for twins and since Collins was born at 38 weeks he promised me I wouldn’t go over that. Anywhere from 35 to 37 weeks would be perfect. 35 weeks is not crazy early for twins….of course I don’t want them to come too early.

Size of babies: an “heirloom tomato”…8.5 oz and around 6 inches.

Size of mama: Big…this belly is out there. I’m OKAY with it, it’s just weird and scares me for what I will look like come May….YIKES. I am still wearing mostly normal clothes… I wear the bella band with all of my work pants, but I HATE the bella band with jeans, so I have switched to maternity jeans when I wear jeans. It just sucks because the maternity jeans are still kinda big and stretch out fast….so there’s that. I’ll throw on a maternity top every once in a while, but mostly still wearing regular ones, I’m sure that won’t last much longer though.

How I feel: Hmmm…. I feel GREAT most of the time. But, ME OH MY….the soreness and pressure is getting to me. There is NO way I could work out this pregnancy even if I wanted to….I get SO sore just walking 1.5 miles around the neighborhood. I try and do that several times a week because there is no way I can do any other exercise. I’ve been assured this is normal….second pregnancy + bigger uterus for twins + TWO babies = more pressure down there. And I definitely feel it. It hurts to cross my legs sometimes.

We have our big 20 week ultrasound next Friday, March 14 and I am looking forward to that. PRAYING every day that these boys are healthy.

I FELT THE BOYS MOVE right at 18 weeks, so that was fun. I feel them pretty regularly now….such excitement. Still very light flutters at this point…but love that feeling.

I’m afraid I’m nearing the end of the “easy” part of this pregnancy….let’s pray it last a while longer….

xoxo

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more! This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun! (and extra chaos of course, too!) We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing. We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom. We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME! We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome! We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball! My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!! Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer. I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies. Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long. (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together. We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball! That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun! Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer

Sweet Caroline
