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 […]

Things are moving too fast!

It’s been such a busy August, and my list of to-dos is getting harder to complete. Realistically, I know that I won’t get everything done that I want to before the babies arrive, but me being me, I tend to be impatient and want it all done now. The thing is, I have no energy, […]

Half-baked!

Can’t believe it’s been 20 weeks already! We’re halfway there, and the nesting is setting in. We’ve shampooed carpets, thrown out junk and had a deep cleaning done on our house. Registries have been done and we’re in full preparation mode. We’ve already started working with Jeep on not being such a shadow! Poor buddy, […]
