Bouncing Baby - Week 20 & 21 - Gender Reveal!!!

Hello my wonderful readers. Sorry I didn't post last week it was a crazy busy but so exciting week! Last week started with getting cribs put together for the babies... It's so real now! Pictures to come when they are all set up and decorated. Couple days later me and Penelope went to a play date with our moms group where she had fun playing in the water and I was completely tired out. We then had our bug ultrasound and both babies are healthy and growing just right. We ended week 20 with date night which was amazing! Me and Penelope went and met my cousin and her little girl at the zoo for some girl time visiting which was so good! I had my regular doctors appointment and all is well with me too. My mother in law is coming to visit to finish the week off to go shopping for the babies now that we know the gender!

So in January 2017 .... Andrew James and Juliet Rose will be joining the Thorsen family bringing us to 5! A boy and a girl is so perfect and we are so happy!

Bouncing Baby - Update Week 18 & 19

Hello my wonderful readers. Week 18 was quite busy in our lives and the week went by without me even knowing I swear. Our water was shut off for repairs in our apartments for one day which was fine we were prepared for it ahead of time just inconvenient. Also I went to the dentist for a cleaning which was good, and I have heard they recommend you do at least once during pregnancy so that's one thing off my list haha. The cribs for the babies are ordered which makes it so much more real. We are still looking into strollers and deciding exactly which one we want, I am pretty sure that's the last big purchase we have left. We are also making the decision on what type of cloth diapers we are going to use for the twins when they are out of the newborn stage. Week 19 is starting off early, like 5:15am early with a toddler that is ready to run around for the day for some reason haha, they are also paving our parking lot in the apartments we live in so everyone had to find parking elsewhere, again we are prepared but still inconvenient. I finished my genetic screening blood work this week, the time has gotten away from me so I went in at the last couple days of the window I was supposed to go in and do it, oops. Other than all that I am feeling pretty good besides feet swelling, but I think that partly has to do with it being in the 100's here. Can't believe next week we will be half way through already, I better get my butt in gear and get some stuff done while I am still not as big and have a little energy to do stuff. One thing to look forward to is next week we get to find out what the gender of the twins is!!! I am so excited to know!! Lots of love your way and keep an eye out for a gender reveal soon! 

Bouncing Baby - Week 16 & 17 Update

Hello my wonderful readers. It's time for a pregnancy update. Week 16 was good getting my energy back but still laying down and resting when Penelope takes a nap. Started walking again at least once a week if not more so I think that is good, before I felt too sick to even think about going outside. I still can't eat chicken unless it's fried because it makes me just want to throw up. I had my doctors appointment during week 17 and all looks good, babies are healthy size and heartbeat. I did go to a Moms group play date during week 17 and wore myself completely out playing with Penelope in the pool in the sun. She is a handful and I am a little nervous about when I am really pregnant and can't quite keep up with her, we will see what happens then. Hope you like this short pregnancy update, the next ones will hopefully be on time, life has just been well life lately. Lots of love!
