We’re taking our girls’ first road trip today. Packing for 2 has morphed to packing for 4. Most of the time I like Kaitlyn and Ava to “coordinate”, not “match”. To simplify mornings, I sorted each girls’ outfits, along with matching bows, stored them in a ziploc bag, and labeled each bag by day. This … Continue reading
Cooking, or should I say, mushing your own baby food is a cinch. Now that I’m working part-time, I need to save cents and dollars wherever I can. To get started, all you need is a steamer, blender/food processor, and ice cube trays. For this first-time baby food maker, steamed carrots was definitely a wise … Continue reading
Kaitlyn (left) and Ava loved playing in their new kiddie pool in the back yard. Ava in her bumbo in the back yard. Kaitlyn (left) and Ava have been sitting up for about 2 weeks now. Here’s a video clip of Ava’s first big situp. Here is Kaitlyn with her great grand father Paw-Paw (my … Continue reading
Chris and I recently attended a marriage retreat lead by Chip Judd. The wisdom we gleamed was gold. Here is a link to Chip’s message ” Why is Love So Hard?” that he gave at Seacost. It contains much of the info he shared with us. We learned the key to a healthy marriage was … Continue reading
Today is 34 weeks and 4 days! We are scheduled for a c-section this Wednesday morning, December 14. Our babies’ estimated weights are 4 lbs, 2 oz and 4 lbs, 14 oz. That puts Baby A’s weight on the low side. Our doc explained her placenta is poopin’ out, meaning the placenta is not providing … Continue reading
My cervix remains closed, but the best news my OB gave me is that I no longer have to do home monitoring. Yay! Essentially, my last weapon for pre-labor was Terbutaline, but unfortunately I had a bad reaction to it last week, so no more Terb. Strategy. We’re at a really good place at 33 … Continue reading
The good news: At 29 weeks, our girls looked great. The bad news: My cervix measured at 1.8 cm (a healthy cervix is 4cm+). My sonogram technician called it “a wimpy cervix.” Well my wimpy cervix was causing around 6 contractions an hour. So, unsurprisingly, I got another wheel chair ride to be admitted to … Continue reading
Our OB visit this week went great! She congratulated us to making it 27 weeks, which is a huge mile-marker for risk of complications, and she increased our doc visits to every 2 weeks rather than weekly. Baby A measured at 2 lbs, while Baby B came in at 2 lbs 4 oz. It’s … Continue reading
During our week 25 sonogram we watched Baby Girl B yawn twice in a row. As my babies get ready to take their first fresh breaths of life, I am reminded the Lord is the almighty giver of life. Scripture tells us the hand of the Lord is the life of every living thing, and … Continue reading
Pregnancy bed rest heartburn has raised it’s viscious head. I’m a lover of all foods tex-mex, so naturally I recently dined upon Paula Deen’s taco soup, 2 McDonald’s breakfast burritos, and Fritos. I actually dipped my burritos in the taco soup for a sauce. Yea, I hear you moms out there, not smart. One … Continue reading
