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...

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...
