Piontkowski Twins Coming April 2018

We’re pregnant!!!


Since posting about our exciting news of expecting twins on Social Media I’ve been getting a few questions about them that I thought I would just make into a post.

When are you due? April 8th however my OB will not let me go past 38 weeks due to a higher risk of something going wrong (i.e. running out of space/fluid for the twins, Cords around necks, and stillbirths). I will be 38 weeks on my birthday, March 25th. I’m praying they come on their own before then – I do not want to be induced.

How far along are you now? 13 weeks this past Sunday

Will you have a C-Section? I would love to have a natural birth. Usually as long as the first baby is head down they’ll deliver both naturally. If they are in distress I will of course do whatever is best for the babies and that might mean changing my birth plan. I will not schedule a C-Section if I don’t go past 38 weeks. Some women have the first naturally and the 2nd has to be C-Section so you just never know. Twin mom means you can’t get too attached to one plan because it may need to change right in the middle.

Are they Identical Twins? No. They are Dichorionic/Diamniotic (DI/DI) twins aka fraternal twins. They each came from separate eggs and sperm, they have their own placenta and their own amniotic sac. These types of twins are the most common and have the lowest risk in utero.

Do you know genders? Not yet. We will be finding out in November.

Are you hoping for them to be a specific gender? My sister-in-law has 4 boys so it would be nice to bring a granddaughter into the family and I think boy/girl twins would be so fun! But honestly we prayed hard for these little miracles, I will take whatever the Lord would like to give me.

Do you have names picked out? Yes and no. We have one boy and one girl name. We’re choosing not to share them just yet because we don’t want to hear negative comments about them. They are unique but not weird.

Do twins run in your family? My husband has a twin sister. I have twin cousins but we’re not biological. This is just God’s miracle for us.

This blog is definitely going to morph into a pregnancy blog/update #sorrynotsorry! Eric and I are beyond excited about our little twins. We can't wait to meet them. I'm trying to catch my ZZZ's now because I have a feeling I'll never sleep again...

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...
