i never announced our babies!

it's not secret ... i'm not really here anymore. i'm slightly busy. two year old, two six months old. ya know. :)

i guess i should tell you that we've survived the first six months! the babies were born at exactly 33 weeks. perfect, adorable and healthy.

on friday, july 15, at 10:15 and 10:20 pm our babies were born. our sweet boy was first, weighing in at 4 lb 14 oz. our hunk of love girl was next, at 5 lb even. (maybe someday i will find the time to write their full birth story - before they're a year old!)

they were in the NICU for two weeks and two days learning to eat and growing. it's been a whirlwind and i can't believe we've made it this far already!

my diabetes got a little wonky in that time, trying to figure out juggling myself, diabetes, toddler, two babies, schedules, eating, sleeping, working full time ... it's been a lot. a really big life change for us. i did get a new pump in december. omnipod! i'm tubeless and i LOVE it! i've been having some skin reactions/rash issues but hopefully we are getting that sorted out.

that's our life update in a nutshell! here are a couple cute pictures. because babies.

six months old!

twinpack: 32 weeks

How far along? 32 weeks (compare to 32 weeks with my son here)

Maternity clothes? yes but they're getting pretty tight or shirts don't stretch long enough

Stretch marks? no, surprisingly 

Sleep: been waking up a couple times a night now. that little stretch of awesome nights of sleep is pretty much over i think 

Best moment this week: staying pregnant another week!! and whenever our little guy comes to visit - AND when I get to leave my room for little wheelchair trips around the hospital :) 

Miss anything? being at home with my family

Movement: bigger babies, bigger movements ... all the time. my bump is constantly a shapeshifter and it freaks everyone out (which makes me laugh) - but some of their movements are so big it makes me a little sick! 

Food cravings: i'm at that point in pregnancy where food is just food, some sounds amazing but most is just eh. ...maybe it's hospital food? ;)

Anything making you queasy or sick: smells 

Genders: a boy and a girl!  

Labor signs: some contractions here (including some i don't feel and the nurses ask 'are you feeling those contractions? ... what contractions? so, no)  and there but nothing consistent or strong

Symptoms: pains, being uncomfortable basically all the time. babies are growing which is making me more uncomfortable every day - but i'll take it! sore back, sore hips, waddling, achy legs, walking VERY slow, hard to breathe... i don't know how women who are having multiples make it to 40 weeks. god bless them all.

Differences at this point between your singleton pregnancy and twin pregnancy: hospital bed rest

Belly button in or out? flat or out, depending on their positions

Wedding rings on or off? on

Happy or moody most of the time: depends on who you ask ;) 

Blood sugar: pretty good this week!

Looking forward to: laying in this boring room for a LONG time to keep these babies growing on the inside! but i'm also ready to meet them. i've been on hospital bedrest a few days shy of A MONTH.

Bitch of the week: ...bed rest. in the hospital. but i will take it over standing in the NICU all day and night. <3

twinpack: 31 weeks

size is cabbage... the light was pretty bright today

How far along? 31 weeks (compare to 31 weeks with my son here)
