Twin Update and Project Complete

I wanted to create a fun way to keep up with how many weeks I was and how big the babies were. I saw where a friend of mine on FB had created a chalkboard from a picture frame. I have somewhat of a creative streak, but more of 'I can think it and then want someone else to do it or I'll just buy it.' But in this case, someone else did all the creative work for me. Unfortunately I couldn't find it already like I wanted so I bought a frame, borrowed some supplies from Jules and d painted the plywood and attached it to my frame. Now I have a cute reminder of my growing babies on my wall. And a cute place to take pictures in front of so I can remember my growing belly. Here are my updated belly shots with my completed project. (I do realize I need to step back a bit so you can read the whole board, but you get the idea.)

15 weeks:
Cravings: anything dairy... but especially milk and colby jack cheese. (And no there have be no digestive complications with these :)

 16 weeks:
Cravings: green grapes and yogurt
Thankfully my cravings have become a little healthier than before. Hoping I can keep up the healthier food choices so I don't gain 8 lbs. this month like I did last month!

Due to lots of growing pains my dr. told me I need to be drinking lots of water. It's a good thing that I crave it and can't get enough. I literally have a cup or water bottle with me everywhere I go. The bad thing is that I'm spending a good portion of my day in the bathroom... which is annoying.

Frequently asked questions:
-How are you feeling? I'm feeling great! Other than growing pains and constantly having to pee I feel completely normal.

-Are you going to go back to teach this year? No, I didn't want to start a school year that I couldn't finish. Also, I have several friends with twins and a couple of them got put on bed rest early on so with my fall being unknown, I didn't want to risk starting. I will be transitioning the new supervisor throughout the month of August and will sub for as long as I can, but no, I am not going back to teaching.

-Will you have a reveal party? Yes! Hoping that both babies cooperate next month, we will have a party. I'm still thinking through how I want to do the reveal. I'd like to do something different, but I'm kind of at a loss for new ideas. If you've got something creative in mind, I'm all ears!

-Do y'all have any names picked out? No! We've got nothing. We are open to any suggestions.

  1. You know I love these updates!! Keep them coming. You will love looking back at these pictures! I am glad I took bare belly pictures too for our own records, even though they were never publicly posted. I had always wished my mom had more pictures of her pregnant with me so take all the pictures you can.
