We had the best time with our sweet and amazingly talented friend, Elisa Copeland of Elisa Michelene Photography as she took the best pictures of our precious boys. We also snagged a couple shots of the whole family and my heart couldn’t be more full!! Thank you Elisa for these precious treasures!

You guys!!! They are here!!!! Brooks and Ellis joined our family one week ago tonight. I will be blogging separately about their birth story but my water broke at 37 weeks and 3 days and it has been magical ever since.There are really no words to describe how it feels to give birth. There is NOTHING better, nothing else like it and the last week have created memories that will forever be burned in my heart and my mind for…
YAY! We made it to 36 weeks (the average birth week for twins) and each day I can keep them in longer, they will be bigger, healthier, better eaters and chances of NICU time will keep decreasing. I have NINE MORE DAYS until my C-section and I am READY!!!! Not ready for babies to come now because I want to give them the best chance at everything, but ready for 9 days to whiz by! I remember hitting 36 weeks…
I am 35+5 today and everything is going great!! I am seriously amazing how well I am handling all of the discomfort… It has NOT been that bad!!! I’m not sure if its because I have done this before or if I am so busy with my other little ones, but I’m not “over it” yet and am honestly enjoying this so much. My belly has become HUGE, I have some swelling in the bottom of my belly and if…
We are at 34 weeks!! Whoo hoo!!! I’m 34+5 today so 3 weeks and 2 days until our scheduled C-section. I hope I can get them all the way there! Honestly the end of this pregnancy has not been as brutal as the end of my first twin pregnancy, I guess its because my body has done it before, or its just flying by so much because I stay so busy with my other three. I have an AWFUL and…
I am 33 weeks with these sweet baby bears and the last almost 2 weeks have been GREAT! I have been fairly comfortable, my heart rate is under control after a weird Benadryl induced tachycardia spell, and my sciatica is about gone. I have very hard moments but overall, I am not complaining! Im still sleeping pretty well at night, I just wake up with extremely sore ribs. The space right under my breasts is getting so so sore from…
So I skipped a week again 🙁 It seems life with three littles and two on the way requires more of a bi-weekly update 🙂I can’t believe I am at 32 weeks! Its starting to sound a little closer. I have 6 weeks from today before my scheduled C-section which in ways seems close but in ways seems far. We had a great 31 week check up. Boys looks great and my uterus is measuring 46 weeks! I had been having…
We loved taking our photos with my beautiful friend, Kate of Kate Parrish Photography If you are in the DFW area, I would highly recommend her! I love these photos because they capture the end of the season of “just the 5 of us” I will always treasure them!Jack Henry and Hadley (age 5) Walker (2.5) This is only a snippet of a Twins Parents Article written by noreply@blogger.com (Kathleen) Read Full Parenting Article
So I slacked during thanksgiving week, and even though I got a pic, I didn’t make a chalkboard… Im sorry sweet boys, I love you no less but I am super pregnant and have three other little ones. But yay for having a THREE in front of my weeks!!! Only 8 weeks to go!! We had another successful appointment last week at 29 weeks. I was measuring 40 weeks for a singleton so the next two months are going to be “over time” as far…
Yay for being in my third trimester! And I only have 10 weeks TOPS! Probably more like 9? The last few weeks I have been eased from nausea and the growing belly is getting a little intense. Nothing CRAZY but for sure picking up in intensity. Its getting harder for me to find a “comfortable” position and sleep is not UNBEARABLE but its getting a little more challenging. I passed my glucose test and babies are looking perfect. Heads are…
