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...

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 ...

My God Answers Prayer

I thought it might be fun to do a small series about what my God is. This post will just be verses about how God answers prayers and for us to use as a great reminder. Feel free to comment below which verses have helped you remember that God answers your prayers (maybe not always in the way you were asking) or a story about how He has answered. Psalm 86: 6 - 7 Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer and attend to the voice of my supplications. I will call upon thee for thou wilt answer me. Psalm 116:1 - 2 I love the Lord because he ahth heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore I will call upon him as long as I live. Psalm 138:3 In the day when I cried thou answered me, and strengthened me with strength in my soul. Jeremiah 33:3 Call unto me and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. 1 Peter 3:12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and his ears are open unto their prayers ...
