SURPRISE!!! Here comes 2 babies...

Yup, you read correct, Twins!!!

We found out about 8 weeks along that we were expecting fraternal twins, crazy huh?! lol... we knew that there was a higher chance of multiples, but didn't think it would happen to us. I still remember like it was yesterday at the ultrasound appointment, Will and I were just so happy that we were pregnant, when the sonographer said " Oh, there's 2 of them!" Will and I just looked at each other and asked, "Are you sure? lol" We were so shocked, excited and a little nervous but definitely happy to let our family and friends know. Everyone was so shocked and excited, I don't know how many times people said how lucky we were to have been blessed with twins, although in my head I was thinking how crazy people are for thinking that, lol I mean don't get me wrong we've been waiting a while for this and we were happy either way, didn't matter how many we were blessed with! I was just overwhelmed with thinking, "How are we going to do this? 2 babies?" But either way we were going to get ready for the 2 blessings that were growing inside me.

So I would like to start by saying, being prego with twins was such an amazing experience! It's amazing what our bodies can do. If you were friends on FB or IG  you pretty much followed me through the whole thing haha (posted kinda crazy during those several months lol). They grew so fast inside my bulging belly...lol a little too fast for my body to get used to it, but we survived ❤😊

I've only been pregnant one other time besides the twins, and Makisi was pretty easy going besides the ending (I'll most likely blog his pregnancy too, why not? lol ) but that is another blog post. I'll apologize now, I'm gonna be all over the place until I catch up lol... now back to the twins, in the beginning I had nausea which sucked, I even had to take some pills to calm it down .

It was such a crazy experience being pregnant with twins, I'm so glad to have been blessed to experience having twins! Now its been almost 3 years since I've had them so I'm just doing this by memory 😉 (good luck haha) I also experienced a lot of cramping and stretching which hurt! Having a hot pack really helped.

Here are a few Twin belly pics 💕

Baby A is a boy, and Baby B was being difficult and not wanting us to now the sex. This appointment the cord was between its legs. Babies were doing great, strong heartbeats!

September 9, 2013

Few days later... found out Baby B was another boy!! And I was one outnumbered mama.

We had so many ultrasound pictures, enough for a little book lol Such a cool thing to be able to see them in the womb so many times.

 At this time I was still working at Wells Fargo, my coworkers threw me a baby shower. They are such amazing people!! We were definitely spoiled with so many gifts and a beautify yummy cake!

When you're pregnant with twins, I didn't realize until I was having twins that you don't carry them the full 40 weeks. Makes complete sense because each week when we got closer to their due date they were getting so big and heavy. 😰 I'll insert a few belly pics for proof of how big they were getting lol

 28 weeks

32 weeks

36 weeks

This belly band was literally the best thing ever!!! I needed so much support since I am so short there wasn't much room for the twin to grow but out...and out they grew haha... Helped a lot with my pressure in my pelvic area.

I'm trying to make this as short and sweet as I can, haha... but trying to hit all of the specific areas I wanted to cover.

I had my fair share of non stress tests too, nothing like sitting in a small room for hours hooked up to not 1 but 2 machines not being able to move very much. Only positive this was being able to hear the twins heartbeats the whole time! 💗

This picture (above) was my last appointment with our doctor. Went in for our routine non stress test and ended up talking my doctor into moving it up to that Thursday January 23, 2014. Whoo hoo for me!! lol I was super uncomfortable and ready to meet these handsome boys!
