August 6, 2017 - Ovia Pregnancy App

I am officially 5 weeks today! I’m starting to feel pregnant. I was up a lot last night with nausea. I’m also starting to feel really tired all the time no matter how much sleep I’m getting. I downloaded this app which is called Ovia Pregnancy. I had Ovia Fertility while we were TTC so I figured why not. I enjoyed the fertility app so I would probably like the pregnancy one too. I’m glad I did because it’s full of information. It gives daily updates with the ability for you to add your own notes, symptoms, and other information. Today it says “Baby P now looks like a tiny tadpole and is approximately the size of a black peppercorn. The heart is already starting to form its different chambers and may even show up on an ultrasound now. Baby P is still growing like crazy, nearly doubling in size each week.” Grow baby grow!!!


I am truly blessed to be at this spot in my life. I never thought I would be here counting my weeks and measuring to see how big my baby is. It’s an exciting thing to finally be carrying life. I go in on Tuesday (8/8) for my next blood draw. I’ll get my beta #3 – kinda interested to see how much it’s going to jump and from there we will be scheduling my 6 week ultrasound where we’ll get to see our little one! I’m so excited!!!

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...

Centerpiece Craft - 4th of July

I've started preparing for my BBQ on July 4th and the first thing I knew I wanted to make was a centerpiece for the table where all the food is going to be laid out. Regardless of what's going on in Washington and who is President right now, I'm a diehard America fan. My father was in the Air Force, I grew up a Military Brat, tons of uncles and aunts and my grandparents have served... and my brother is currently serving the US Air Force so I'm a little obsessed with these patriotic holidays. I think I mentioned before that July 4th is becoming one of my favorites but anyway because of this I'm going all out for this BBQ so let's get into the craft. What You Will Need: A large clear jar or container Pinecones Red, White & Blue spray paint Fun, patriotic sprays 2 Cardboard boxes - to keep the mess to a minimum I found my pinecones about two years ago now from a floral shop on craigslist that was closing. They had thrown out everything and I was there...

Life Update - No April Fools

I sit here in a crowded room filled with papers, knick knacks, Christmas decorations, Wedding Planning materials and more sprawled out everywhere. I worked my last day at the corporate distribution center on Friday. Come Monday I'll be starting in a new-to-me building and it's bitter-sweet. I love the old DC, where there were only about 100 corporate employees there, everyone knew everybody personally and you could have personal items displayed on your desk without fear of something happening to them. With this move, I don't think I will be as lucky... Hence all the random items now laid out in my office.  I'm realizing I'm going to need to make a trip down to the storage unit to put away the boxes that came home from the office. But seeing all my packed up wedding items, I've also been thinking I really need to start promoting my wedding/event planning business. I finally received my event planning certificate in the mail on Thursday of this past week and it ...
