It's been too long. My apologies!
Growing twins while raising twins and working full time during the holiday season has been a little more taxing than anticipated.
Good news is the McMuffins are growing! I can feel them move on a daily bases. These munchkins are very active (good luck with that Mommy and Daddy to be!)
At the last doctors appointment Dec 16th I was told some interesting news. We have now reached the stage where the babies can live independently of my body! What a big milestone. Of course that's not our goal as I hope to deliver healthy babies that their Mommy and Daddy can take straight home without worry.
I have to be honest, this holiday season as gotten the best of me. Sweets around every corner and i am not as strong as I thought I once was. Here's a picture of my girls with their first banana split YUMMY. They've been busy helping mommy make lots of treats for family! Such good helpers they are!
Genevieve felt the baby kick and she said "that wasn't very nice". It was so adorable. I now say they are dancing rather than kicking.
Here's a picture from last week. Heels have been my savior. This set of twins has been a little more taxing on my body, especially my lower back. As odd as it might sound wearing heels relieves this pain. After a weekend of wearing flats in Tahoe with my munchkins I came home and did house work in heels and immediately felt like I was walking on a cloud.
My first attempt at pot roast stew, yay for crock pots. Not too bad, however I could tell it was my first attempt.
My sessions are a lot shorter and the amount i'm lifting has decreased, however i'm still going! People say you shouldn't do this and you shouldn't do that. However as long as my doctor continues to give me the go I'll continue to beast it out! Over time i have modified workouts in response to my body (as with my first pregnancy). Staying fit is important during pregnancy i wish more women would do it!
Last but not least here's the big gift for my mini's this year! They loved it!
Now that Christmas is past I will be sure to post more often. Especially after our BIG appointment 1/7/2014. We have a hospital tour and ultrasound. Excited for my IPs to see their babies again!

Just like your daughters, I too received a dollhouse for Christmas. It is a wooden dollhouse which I have turned into a Sweet Treat Shop. On the first floor I have a bakery and an ice cream parlor Yes, you can order banana splits! On the second floor I have a tea room. I love visiting tea rooms in real life and so I created a miniature one. On the third floor I have a large kitchen where all the baking is done for the tea shop and the bakery. My husband spent all the month of December restoring the house, which I found at a garage sale. I spent all the month of December visiting dollhouse stores and making purchases and wrapping the items and placing them under our tree. Since Christmas, I have spent every evening decorating and re-arranging furniture in my new dollhouse. What fun! I remember my first dollhouse. I was five years old. It was a metal house. I loved playing with it then and I love crafting things for my new wooden dollhouse now. My next project is to make cakes and cookies for the bakery using clay that is baked in the oven. Hope your daughters are having as much fun with their house as I am having with mine. Happy New Year 2015! It will be a year we will all certainly remember!!!!
