You're gonna miss this.....

Well...... That's to be decided ;-)

Things I will miss about pregnancy:

 

…………….

…………….

…………….

 

Kidding (sort of).

 

I am forever grateful to be able to have two pregnancies and carry THREE babies.  However, I’m not going to sugar coat it, I don’t love being pregnant.  First go round…it really was a breeze until around 30 weeks.  And then, it wasn’t too horrible until about 33/34 weeks…when I got UNCOMFORTABLE and had tons of back pain.  But, with the first pregnancy…I seemed much more “in limbo” during those 9 months.  It’s a hard feeling to describe, but I just kind of felt like I was in a holding pattern until baby came and I didn’t love that.  This go round…I don’t feel that as much, but the pressure/back pain and soreness that I already feel make up for it.   Most of the time, I still feel great…but day by day I get sore(er), feel more pressure and my back hurts a bit longer.  All of this is normal for a second pregnancy, especially with twins.  It just terrifies me.  I pray my body can handle this until June/July.  

 

So, yeah….ummm…back to what I’ll miss about being pregnant:

1.       Obviously that FIRST time you see two pink lines.  Your world is changed.

2.       The tightening feeling in your tummy at the beginning.  Mine would always get so hard, always lopsided…especially late at night or early morning.

3.       THE FIRST FLUTTERS.  I started feeling the boys move around 18 weeks and now feel them ALL the time.  I LOVE it.  Probably won’t love it when it hurts down the road…but for now it’s all good. 

4.       The babies are all yours for 9 months.  That’s pretty cool.  And important.  A big job for a soon to be mom.

5.       Delivery day.  Knowing YOU did this and your baby is coming out of YOU.  How incredible. 

6.       The incredible amount of love you instantly feel for the baby(ies) growing in your belly…  it’s insane how quickly it happens.

What I will NOT miss about being pregnant:

1.       Heartburn

2.       Back pain…oh the back pain.  It’s crazy to me how some women never have any back pain and some (like me) have it awful.  I used heating pads the last few weeks with Collins and I’m sure I’ll be busting that thing out earlier this go round.  (already did)

3.       Pressure/soreness: again, didn’t feel this till way later with Collins, but this time?  OUCH.  Sometimes it hurts just moving positions when I sleep.  I know, it’s nuts.

4.       Not being able to do/eat/drink what you want.  Your body isn’t just yours.

5.       Maternity clothes.  Blah, I am not a fan of having to spend money on maternity clothes. 

6.       Your body does lots of weird/crazy stuff.  Lots.  It’s cool but also ummm…not cool at times?


Regardless, I'm extremely thankful to be carrying two baby boys!!

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
