Goodbye 20s, hello 30s! And some maternity pics

Most people have a mini-freak out when they say goodbye to their 20s and turn 30, but this is one of those times, when it feels great to be moving on! We are getting so close to meeting our babies! We had a great ultrasound and appointment on Thursday, and the babies each weigh 3 […]

Quick update and a request to friends/family

I just realized I never posted an update about the glucose screening test. I passed! I do not have gestational diabetes, and that’s great since I have been craving only sweets lately. I’m 29 weeks 3 days today, and we have an ultrasound tomorrow. My mom is coming in town tonight so she can attend […]

In the home stretch: 3rd trimester here we come!

I’m so happy to be posting our update this week because it’s a major milestone for mommys-to-be of twins to make it to the third trimester! This week, the babies are practicing opening their eyes and are growing eyelashes. I cannot wait to see what color their eyes will be, but I know they will […]

Weekend in pics!

Mmmm, brownies. No, I didn’t eat the whole plate, at least not in one sitting!  Happy fall! All my decor has come out for my fave time of year.    Completed week 3 of Soul Revolution, a project we’re doing at church.    He was really happy about a walk, although he […]

A little late…baby shower pics!

Mom, Diann, me and sister, Katrena. So if you haven’t noticed, I’m moving a little slower these days, hence the reason for the delay in posting about our family/friend baby shower on the 15th. My sister and mom went above and beyond to make it special for Derrick and me, and it was absolutely beautiful! Our […]

26 week update

I had two appointments this past week. One with our perinatalogist and one with my OB. Everything is absolutely perfect! The babies each weigh almost 2 pounds each and are measuring right on track for 26 weeks. We didn’t get many pictures this time, but we did score one good one of Corbin’s profile. He’s […]

24 weeks, a milestone and a shower

We’ve reached 24 weeks, and it’s such a great accomplishment because it means if the babies were born now, they’d have a 90 percent chance of survival with medical intervention. And the odds just keep getting better for survival with each passing week from here on out, so I’d say this is a major milestone! […]

Labor Day Weekend in iPhone Pictures

Our weekend was very productive, and having an extra day is just what I needed to feel like I actually accomplished some things on my mile-long to-do list. My co-workers threw a shower for me on Friday (more to come on this), and the rest of the weekend I spent shopping the fall sale at […]

A new way to manage the blogs you follow

<a href=”http://www.bloglovin.com/blog/4012400/?claim=bfmeq33xzd6″>Follow my blog with Bloglovin</a> I think I’m subscribed to at least 20 blogs, and I love scrolling through Google Reader to see the latest posts. But here’s a new tool that I’m looking forward to learning more about. I found out about Bloglovin from Melissa at growingupgeeky, and I want to invite my […]

Quick and easy pork chops

I’ve been trying to get more of a variety with our meals, and I came across a blog writing about marinades. Duh! Why haven’t I thought of this before? I normally just sprinkle a bunch of spices on meat and complain when it comes out tasting bland and dry. This has resulted in a very […]
