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...

Wedding Planner - Emergency Bridal Kit

One question I get often as a Wedding Planner is "What is in my Emergency Bridal Kit?" As a built in service for my brides I provide them an Emergency Bridal Kit on the day of their wedding. This kit includes personal care products, first aid, pain relievers, tools - anything you think you MIGHT need on the day of the wedding. These kits are custom made for each bride as no wedding is ever truly the same but most kits have a common core list of items. Because I have a wedding today I thought it would be a great idea to show you what's in Today's Bride's Emergency Kit.  Tools: Pliers Wire Cutters Measuring Tape Screw Drivers of various sizes (Flat Head & Phillips) Hammer  &/or Mallet It's amazing how many times you can say "I wish I had a screw driver or tape measure with me for this..." It's better to just be prepared because you never know what you'll be called to do or what will need some fixing. Personal...

Buba - Paranormal Stories

Disclaimer - If you don't like ghost stories, unexplained stories, paranormal, haunted, spiritual etc. stories, I would go ahead and skip this post. Paranormal stories, story times, vlogs and cllabs are popping up like crazy on social media, especially on YouTube. Seems like the good ol' ghost stories are back. I would say I'm a typical person who enjoys a truly thrilling ghost story but then immediately regrets hearing them the minute the sun goes down. I grew up reading the Scary Stories to Tell in the dark series and watching "Are You Afraid of the Dark" on the TV just like a lot of kids who grew up in the 80s and 90s and to this day I still love talking about the unexplained. My husband on the other hand will not have anything to do with these types of stories and let's be honest he's probably the smartest person out there for not wanting to get involved. But needless to say because he doesn't want to hear my stories I've got to tell som...
