August 22, 2017

Diclegis has been my best friend for the last week. It has taken the edge off of my morning sickness. I still get queasy but I’m able to function unlike before. Before I felt like I was walking around with the stomach flu. I couldn’t keep anything down, was running to the bathroom every 30 minutes, and was really achy… I thought I was dying. I mentioned it to my nurse as she was taking blood last week and she said she would give me the Diclegis to see if that would help. It was at this same appointment that we found out we were having twins and the nurse then said, “No wonder you’re miserable, you’re having two.” It’s nice to know that I’m having these symptoms for a reason and I will never take it for granted but man is it uncomfortable!

My next appointment will be August 31st at 11:00am. We’re doing an 8 week ultrasound. There we’ll get to see the babies’ heartbeats again and measure them to make sure they’re still growing like they should. I always get really nervous before doctor appointments because of course I don’t want to know if there’s something wrong. Luckily nothing has come up yet. My Dr. said at 6 weeks we have a 93% chance of having a healthy twin pregnancy and once we hit week 8 our chances of miscarriage goes down to 1%. I’m praying week 8 comes quickly! I’m 7w2d right now and actually I’m waiting for the dr. office to call me back with my blood work results from this morning. Nerve wracking to say the least. It’s times like these that I’m so glad I have a full time job to keep my mind occupied and I don’t have time to dwell on the what if’s.


I told my pastor this past Sunday that we were having twins and he’s just ecstatic (he also has twins my age). He told me “now that is a hospital visit I can’t wait to make!” At this point we haven’t told too many people. By the time this gets posted on my blog we’ll be well into the pregnancy and the announcement will have been made but for now I like that only a very small group of people know. It’s one of the most fun secrets to have.

Free Samples and Offers

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

August 31, 2017 - Our 8 Week Ultrasound

We had our 8 week ultrasound today!! I was super nervous. I pray for my little ones every day that they both will be healthy and grow stronger and be where they need to be at, at each milestone. Of course being a part of a support group you see a ton of miscarriage stories and you hear about abnormal phenomenons and it gets your mind to wander! The scariest thing I keep thinking about is the Vanishing Twin Syndrome . I’m so worried that we’re going to go to an appointment and one will be missing. So of course I was nervous about going today but I was also really excited to see my little jelly beans again. Ok so checkup update…. I am 8 weeks and 4 days today. Baby A is measuring at 8w4d (right on target) 19.9mm and the heartbeat was 171. Baby B is measuring at 8w5d 21.4mm (“he” was also the bigger baby last time too. Think we might have a chunky monkey on our hands!) The heartbeat was 177. We got to see Baby A “wave” at us. “He” was moving his little hand, and it ...
