33 weeks twin bumpdate

33 weeks.

Size of babies:  A pineapple.  At our 32 week appointment one was 4 lb and the other was 4 lb 1oz.  I know these aren’t exact but still, that’s definitely more baby than I ever had in me the first time……YIKES.  (Collins was 6 lb. 12 oz.) 

 

Size of mama:  large and in charge.  I mean, seriously.  My dad will just look at me and start laughing….  He (nor I for that matter) can understand how in the world this belly can get ANY bigger.

 

How I feel:  Blah.  Pain.  Blah. Pain.  The days are still okay.  Although getting up and down/walking around a bit cause pressure/pain…but night times are rough.  Getting in and out of bed is painful and this week I have woken up to pee FIVE times a night several nights.  HOLY.  I never did this with Collins… maybe once a night at the end, but that was it.  I’m starting to swell.  Cankles come out at night.  I’ve stopped wearing my rings.   Rolling from side to side in bed is hard and painful.  And I do it frequently to stay comfortable.  I’m still sleeping…I just toss and turn a lot.   

 

*My 32 week appointment:  I went to the doctor on Friday the 6th for my 32 week checkup.  Everything is going really well and the boys both look great, and for that I am very thankful.  However, my doctor is still being incredibly optimistic and even had to move my scheduled c section BACK a day…to July 22.  That is just TWO days shy of being 39 weeks pregnant, who in the HELL goes that long with twins?  YIKES.  I told my doctor that I like to be an overachiever, but NOT in this case.  And yes, I know it’s best for them to be INSIDE of me….but lordy….let’s at least move it up to 37.5/38 weeks…a few days is a few days!  He did at least acknowledge how much could change between now and then and that we would talk closer to time, as I politely told him I may be haunting him in his dreams if I go to July 22:-)  I am measuring 38 weeks pregnant.  Which is normal.  But, explains why I look HUGE and feel OVER IT.  Basically I’ll experience those “last few weeks” of pregnancy for like 6-8 weeks.  OUCH.  I know not everyone has pain with pregnancy, but I did with Collins too…back pain is awful, pressure is painful, everything hurts.  On the bright side…I’m not on bed rest and the babes are doing well.  I know, I need to be more positive ;-)

Regardless….less than SIX weeks to go till the boys get here.  It seems like SO far away for many reasons, but if I truly stop to think about how much our life is about to change I get a little panicky.  So…. let’s just no go there, mmmmmmkay?  Good. 

Happy Wednesday!

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...

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...

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...
