I have never seen a more concise and accurate statement in my life.

#momlife

Everyday once I put the kids down for a nap I’m faced with the decision between taking a nap or having me time. And every single day I make the wrong decision.

Where are my new followers finding me!

I haven't written in a long while because turns out being a mother of twins, trying to kick off a business, while attending school, and still giving my all to being a wife/his personal secretary/myself, is well, time-consuming, to say the least. my girls have come a long way and are now 8 days away from turning 22 months old. It has been exhausting and troublesome twos have hit us hard the past few months. I miss having them tiny and in my arms.

Don't hate me!

P.s. The girls have been home for awhile... Sorry bloggies

Just how is this done!?

How are y'all twin mamas keeping up with their blogs? You must be robot gods who need zero sleep and sanity. Go you!

Bottoms up!

Girlies are on their bottles now! They only get tube fed every other feeding so we are making progress! They have finally been in a crib together now for a week and are doing very very well! Mommy and Daddy are so very proud! Today also marks when I would've been 35 weeks pregnant but instead I have 5 week old girls! Craziness I tell you!

1 month old?!?!

How even? 😭 I miss my babes. They are doing really well but still in the NICU feeding and growing. ❤️

Baby mania!

Today was the 1st time the girls have been together since mama's belly and guess what was the very first thing they did, just guess! They held hands! Ugh, be still my heart..💗

I forget I have other things in life other than babies...

And I'm okay with that. They are mine. Like my heads still trying to wrap around that. That right there, that's a trip. I made them, me is in them? Just whoa man, whoa. They are growing and doing so well. It is day 17 of life and they are still making friends at the NICU. We can't wait till they can come home! I have had a small amount of baby blues but it only hit me when I got discharged and came home. Without babies. It's been tough. But I've def been blessed not to have postpartum depression at all. I am having a milk supply issue with the exclusive pumping since I can't nurse the girls yet. I officially hate pumping and haven't been making enough for the girls so they are getting donor milk as well. I don't mind that at all and am grateful but I wish I could make the milk they needed..bummer. But! I am still trying, I won't give up. I spoke with the dr and lactation consultants about what I should do and they have given me great suggestions that I've been trying out, one by one. If you guys have any tips and tricks, I'm absolutely open to them as well. I never thought I'd have a low supply but maybe I can fix it still. 17 days postpartum and still plenty of time to see a change.

I'm a mama!

After spending 6 days on hospital bed rest, being hooked to 22 hrs of magnesium that were just horrific, about 20 hrs of penicillin, given yet another steroid shot ( 3 in total) and made to pee in a bed pan, my girls still didn't wanna stay. I ended up having an emergency csection on Friday, October 10, 2014. I will def talk more about it in another post but I can say it was scary. We went from a normal day, to "we're having babies in 30 mins", needless to say I was terrified but! I am honored to announce the arrival of Amelia Rose & Eloise Lydia weighing in at 2lbs 13oz and 2lbs 14oz, respectably! Thank you for joining me in my journey through pregnancy and I hope you'll stick around to experience parenthood with twins with me! Also I'd love to hear from some NICU mommies if any of you have some tips/advice for us! I'm recovering well and our girls have done beyond amazing! I even get to go home tomorrow!

Counting the days

Day 18 of bed rest and Day 6 of hospital bed rest. Can I say, with all this bed rest going on, I've never been more exhausted.

It's Friday and I'm not going home

Things are happening quickly yet slowly. I'm 4 cm dilated, been on magnesium for 13 hrs now, got my third steroid shot, and getting mentally prepared for a csection very very soon. It's all overwhelming. I'm miserable and loopy and scared but only two days till 30 weeks!

Hospital bedrest time!

So Sunday after spending the day on the couch watching my wonderful hubby pack up our soon to be ex-apartment I started feeling some period cramps/diarrhea type cramps starting around 730pm. I didn't make much of it and continued munching on my ice and chatting with my husband while he butchered zombies on our tv screen. Fast forward to 9-915pm, I was feeling pretty off. I had emptied my bladder, twice, laid on my left side, and drank water/chewed ice. Each cramp brought back the pressure of baby A on my cervix and it felt like she was gonna fall out my butt. My husband coaxed me into calling my OB just to let her know. I was so sure she would tell me to rest since I saw her that coming Tuesday morning. Instead she wanted me to come in to be monitored. I was sure I would be sent home within the hour because they were picking up only that my uterus was irritated, naturally, which could be causing some cramps. Not a big deal. Well they decided to check me before discharging me and I was told i was still at 1cm. Then the OB on call looked confused and asked if my OB had mentioned any other changes. After reading my file they discovered I went from a softening cervix to 100% effaced. I was so close to going home and that change put me in overnight. After an irritable night I was checked by my OB to discover I was at 2 cm now. That was Monday afternoon. I'm still at the hospital though nothing more has changed, still having contractions and cramps now and again and now having a "bulging bag of water" at my cervix along with baby A's little feet being lodged in well. Now the new verdict is: "Let's see how it goes this week, then we will discuss it further.", and now I'm just waiting.

Can it seriously only have been 10 days so far?!

Bedrest is so crappy. Ugh. You're told to stay in bed and do nothing till an undetermined time and no, that doesn't sound like torture but with steroid shot hip pain still present, SPD in my hip, acid reflux that only hits when you're laying down, pain from excessive fluid now on both kidneys, inability to lay comfortably, and all the rest of pregnancy fun. Just ugh. That run-on sentence is my life. But babies! 😍
