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 was so adorable! But everything is looking great. My levels are right on track. Praise God!

Oh and just FYI we have no idea what the genders are – when I say “he” it’s just a general statement, it doesn’t mean we’re having boys.

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...

My God Wants Me To Trust Him

Lately I've been feeling really worried about a procedure I have coming up. In January it seemed like such a far off thing but now as the days tick by I'm getting so nervous. I have feelings of doubt and fear; what if this doesn't work? How are we going to pay for all this? What if things go wrong? What if I die? All extremely scary stuff. But then I remember that people go through this all the time, every day. I'm going to be ok no matter the outcome because my trust is in God and not the doctors.  Psalm 37:5 Commit everything you do to the Lord; trust Him and He will help you. Psalm 56:3 - 4 Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.  Psalm 56:9 - 13 When I cry out to You, then my enemies will turn back; this I know, because God is for me. In God I will praise His Word, in the Lord I will praise His word, in God I have put my trust; I will not be afraid. What...

FAQ About My Twins

Multiples have always been a topic of interest for most people. When they are seen they are ohh'ed and ahh'ed over. If people get a chance there's always a few questions they love to ask. So here you go... Frequently Asked Questions about my Twins and their answers. Are they twins? Yes. Are they Identical? No. They are fraternal, meaning they came from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm, aka they look different. Are they natural? Well this isn't artificial twinning here. Which one is older? Georgia by a minute if that's important to you. Do twins run in the family? This question is always hard for me to answer because the short answer is yes, my husband is a twin. The real answer is he doesn't play any part in whether or not we have twins. Every woman in the world has a chance at having identical twins. It's a matter and chance of an already fertilized egg splitting. For fraternal twins, the mother has to release two eggs at the same ...
