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!!


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
