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...

October 24, 2017 - New OB Getting On My Nerves

Today I saw Dr. Carney from the OB office. I’m not really sure how I feel about her. First off….She didn’t schedule me for an ultrasound today. She just used the fetal dopplar to hear both babies’ heart beats. That’s fine and all, but I just had a scare about two weeks ago I want to see these babies! I wanted to make sure everything is still ok! No go. Then she’s pushing for me to get the Flu shot and to each their own when it comes to this subject, I however am not taking the chance. I get sick every time I get the shot, and I don’t care what the health professionals say, I know my body. I’m going to get sick if I get the shot. AND there’s also NO study done that says this shot is absolutely 100% safe for pregnancy. Um….no thank you. I’ve had enough ladies tell me in my support groups that suspiciously a week after they received the flu shot they miscarried. These are women in all stages of pregnancy, 1 st , 2 nd and 3 rd trimesters. No. I’m not getting the Flu Shot. So I decl...
