Christmas 2017

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!

As I sit down to write this year’s Christmas letter It’s a Wonderful Life is playing in the background and I am reminded of all of the wonderful things Eric and I have enjoyed this year.

In December of last year I claimed 2017 was going to be the year of the Piontkowskis and that it was going to be our miracle year. It didn’t disappoint. Eric and I had been wanting to start our family and in July our prayers were answered, we are expecting our two little girls to arrive in March 2018!! We couldn’t be more excited.

My boss of five years retired in February and I now work for the Vice President of Construction. I celebrated 10 years with ULTA this past August. Eric is working for Advantage Chevrolet of Bolingbrook in their parts department and is happy there. We are blessed.

Our youngest nephew Mason Oliver was born April 21st. Just when I thought my heart couldn’t get any bigger, it did. Our four nephews have a special place in our hearts.

Eric and I celebrated two years of marriage on May 15th. We are enjoying married life and still are learning new things about each other every day. I am so thankful for him though because I wouldn’t be able to survive without him. Since August my feet have been hurting, to the point where I am now in a wheelchair and he helps me out with absolutely everything. He is my hero. We continue to go to doctor appointments only to be told “we don’t know what’s wrong with you…” Please keep us in your prayers.

Our trip to the Balloon Fiesta in New Mexico was put on hold so Eric could stack up his vacation time. We’re hoping to get out there October 2018 and bring the girls along to meet their extended family.

This year has definitely been another year of ups and downs but the best of all is preparing for our twins. It truly has been fun to shop for them and get the nursery ready. We cannot wait until they are here and get to meet all of you!

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and happy New Year. May the Lord continue to bless each one of you!!

Love,

Eric and Jackie

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...

28 Weeks Pregnancy Update

Only 10 weeks to go!! Sometimes I cannot believe how far along I am. 28 weeks, and it seems like just yesterday we were telling everyone we were pregnant. Aside from sever morning sickness in the first trimester I haven’t had any more pregnancy complications. PTL On Tuesday January 16 th we had a growth ultrasound to check on the kiddos and make sure they’re still growing on track. It was pretty routine with all the pictures they were taking. They measure their heads, stomachs, lengths of arms and legs and checked their hearts again. Everything is looking good. Both my little girls weighed 2lbs 9oz, I was kind of shocked by this because Baby B has always been my bigger baby, but A is definitely keeping up now. Baby B still measures out a little longer than A but not by much. They are 46 th and 47 th percentile. This is great news for us as now our OB is watching to make sure one or both babies don’t fall behind on the growth charts. Pregnant moms always worry about their ba...
