Update: Birth-3 Months

These first 3 months have been pretty difficult.
Adapting to our "regular" lives has been everything but REGULAR.
We were both working full-time & had trouble getting childcare!
This really put a damper on things because 
we both could not work our 9-5's simultaneously.

 Financially we've had to make MANY sacrifices.
Budgeting has been really crazy.
I'm looking into extreme couponing.
Saving wherever I can...
This has been stressful but we've been getting it done.
I firmly believe "where there's a will there's a way".

 We're saving for a hybrid SUV/Minivan
bc our two older boys are tired of being smushed or riding in our separate cars everywhere.
LOL!
LIFE HAS CHANGED!
*sighs*
Month 1;

constant diaper changes
up all night every 1-2 hours
struggling to breast & bottle feed 
checking on them every 20 minutes to make sure they're breathing
dealing with the daily stress, siblings in school, keeping up with housweork
babies sleep ALL THE TIME--lol


Month 2;






put twins on a consistent feeding schedule (life is GOOD)
twins started eating more/gained more weight :)
still no vaccines--still deciding on it
spitting up a lot--we changed their formula
holding their heads up & getting tummy time
Peyton is more "athletic"
Preston is more aware & nosy lol! 
:) First Smiles :)



Month 3;




They are so expressive (cooing, smiling, & crying whenever they feel like it)
I can already see their individual personalities showing.
Preston is super relaxed.
Peyton is super hyper & emotional--LOLOL



Life has been so good in spite of  the changes.
I wouldn't trade this experience for anything.
God made me a #twinmama !
Family is all you have at the end of the day.
 I can't imagine life without them.



Thanks for tuning in ;-)

Baby Shower

Hello! I'm 33 weeks!!! This is so exciting, it's almost time. Well my co-workers gave me the cutest at work babyshower ever <3 <3 <3 I think I almost went in to labor just laughing. I had such a great time, ate good food, & the twins got a ton of cute stuff. RANDOM: I have the dopest bestie in the world! Ok. Carry on... Let me just boast about these amazing ppl that I just got to know. I've been with this company for 90 days but they've all treated me like they've known me for years. Not once did I ask for anything or express a need.  They all came together & decided to be a blessing. Do you know what that feels like? To not speak a word but ppl all around you just genuinely want to help... No shade to my northern friends & family. They aren't even "friends & family" but I can't tell. This was beyond southern hospitality.  It really touched me. I don't think they know how appre...

Pregnancy Post 001

TWO BABIES?! Yes, God has such a peculiar sense of humor.  Most women get a faint positive line when taking an early pregnancy test. My line was very dark, which indicated a high level of hormones. Should've been the first hint, huh?... I took the test about 3 days after I missed my period. I had already started to have SEVERE morning sickness. I couldn't keep anything down except plums & water. Lost close to 20lbs.. Morning sickness that did not end. Nausea, dizziness, vomiting, & fatigue--from the time I'd wake up, until I'd go to sleep. Ugggggh! I was prescribed Zofran (which is used to prevent nausea due to chemo & radiation) I took it once in the hospital intravenously & it worked instantly. But after further research, I found reports of birth defects caused by this medicine. --NEVER FILLED THE PRESCRIPTION.-- Had to just thug it out bc that wasn't a risk I was willing to take. By far, this was the wor...
