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...

The Dreaded Questions

I knew I always wanted to be a mom.... Even before I knew I would be married. I'm not really one to plan out my entire life. I never made a 'list' on qualities I wanted in a guy. I never had a "dream wedding" planned out. I never planned on when I was going to have kids. How many kids. What their names were going to be etc. etc. Lots of girls do all of those things and I don't think there is anything "wrong" with this but the reason I chose NOT to do any of them was because I never knew if they were meant for me. I never knew if I would ever get to those stages in my life. Even if I did, what if I had planned out my entire wedding and my future husband hated all those plans or had in his head a different way to do things? It's as much his wedding as it is mine - Seems unfair for me to choose everything I want without his opinions.... With all that said, I knew I wanted to have kids I just didn't know when that was going to happen. Occasio...

Married Life - 4 Months In

I t has been a little over 4 months since I got married.  Married life is sort of what you expect. I definitely had to get used to the idea of someone living with me constantly. One of my biggest struggles in married life so far has been cleaning up messes (in my bedroom, bathroom or kitchen) that I haven't created! I typically find paper towels on the counters, clothes on the floor, towels not being hung back up correctly.... At first it would frustrate me! "How hard is it to put things back where you got them?!" or "Why can't you put things where they go!?" - would often be the first thoughts that popped into my head when I came across these situations. Finally when I actually asked my new husband one of these questions he said "Why can't you keep your hair on your head and off everything else?" and "Why is there always makeup powder on the sink?" Point is....I've been doing stuff all along that frustrates him too! Don't m...
