Weeks Pregnant: 34 !!<br />
<br />
Gender: Twin boys! Fraternal most likely (di di twins)<br />
<br />
Weight gain: holy smokes, I have gained and gained with this pregnancy, I expected to be around 35-45 minimum at the end of this since I was lower on the chart to start but my other two pregnancies I gained 21 and 26 lb. I'm already at 33 lb gained! My body is doing exactly what it needs for these babies and I'm so grateful. Well see where we end up, I usually slow down at the end for some reason. I haven't worked out this pregnancy like I did with my last 2 so I'm sure that makes a tiny difference too.<br />
<br />
Feeling: feeling so great still, I mean I have the expected uncomfortable lower back ache at night and I get winded sometimes, but for carrying twins and having two amniotic sacs, two placentas and 2 babies that are close to 5 lbs each I think life could be a lot harder than it has been. I'm just so grateful I'm still feeling like myself and able to keep up with my normal life and my kiddos. Honestly God has blessed us with an easy healthy complication free twin pregnancy. For being high risk and all the problems that can arise with twin pregnancies we are just so grateful and maybe that makes things easier too! Can't believe we will be meeting these babies in 2-3 weeks!!! This has flown by!<br />
<br />
Movement: still feeling them tons, my stomach feels so tight and I can literally feel their bodies poking out, clearly they are running out of room. Baby A doesn't move as much as baby B, and he's in a frank breech position bent in half so that could be why. Baby B is head down. Praying baby A decides to follow, although we are running out of room and time for him to flip, it becomes statistically less likely after 34 weeks for twins, but I'm holding onto hope so we can still try for vaginal delivery ( Please Lord).<br />
<br />
Symptoms: lightning crotch here and there, little cramping every now and then especially when on my feet a long time, Braxton hicks non stop all day (normal for my pregnancies), low back ache at night, little numbness under my right boob right where my rib cage is (have had that every pregnancy at the end), that's pretty much it! Feeling normal!<br />
<br />
Labor signs: cramping and Braxton hicks. But haven't been checked for dilation or anything. My last cervix check was via vaginal ultrasound at 30 weeks and my cervix was still doing awesome measuring 4cm long and just how they wanted to see it. Dr actually joked I would make it to 39 weeks (which they don't even allow twins to go to).<br />

<br />
Twin update:<br />
First of all, I'm typing this on my iPhone because we just moved and I don't have my computer set up. Excuse the typos or if the photos appear out of place.<br />
<br />
Weeks Pregnant: 27!<br />
<br />
Gender: BOY twins!<br />
<br />
Symptoms update: I feel pretty good other than being sick with a cold right now. I started to get really achey in my pelvic bone region and hips, I think this is due to the hormone relaxin that relaxes all of our ligaments while pregnant. It hurts mainly when I'm getting dressed, rolling over in bed, and when I first get up after sitting or laying down. I just started getting winded and exhausted again about a week ago, third trimester has finally hit, like straight out of the blue im suddenly pooped! My cervix is long and doing great handling the twin pregnancy, my high risk dr said she thinks I'll make it to term and said my "body carries babies well and my cervix is better than long" whatever that means! My lower back hurts and moving hasn't helped that situation but that's totally normal for me in pregnancy with all of my kiddos.<br />
<br />
Movement: all the time, its non stop with 2 in there. I never had pain from movement(I.e rib kicks) while pregnant with my other babies but everyone is telling me it's coming with 2 in there at once.<br />
<br />
Excited for: oh goodness I don't even know, I'm getting more nervous now the closer we get to them actually being here. I think my head is trying to understand the reality of two newborns coming at once. I'm excited for decorating their nursery now that we've moved. And it feels good now that I can start doing things for the babies and checking things off our list like buying a mini van last week.<br />
<br />
Labor signs: none<br />
<br />
Exercise: nope. I tried once at 16 weeks when my nausea was gone. Then again once around 21 weeks and once in Hawaii on vacation at 23 weeks. But now that I'm in the third trimester my goal is rest and keeping them cooking for as long as possible. Totally different than my other two pregnancies where I was active throughout.<br />
<br />
Weight gain: I haven't had a scale in a month and a half to weigh myself on because it was packed away. But before then I was already up 20 lb. Dr wanted 20 lb by 20 weeks and 24 lb by 24 weeks to reduce the risk of preterm birth for twins. I think I accomplished that goal for sure. Which is so crazy because I only gained 21 with cash and 26 with Layla's pregnancy. But 2 babies, 2 sacs and 2 placentas weigh a lot.<br />
<br />
I'm excited to do a post on twins must haves so stay tuned for that!!<br />

Last month we had a small little gender reveal get together with our families and a couple friends, we couldnt wait to find out who these 2 little people are! Twin boys! I can hardly believe it <i>still</i>! I thought for sure they were boy girl or girl girl, but im always usually off with my guesses. So its official, we have 3 boys and a little girl. This is our crew, our forever family, i've always wondered how many kids we'd have, who they'd be and who would complete our family. Its crazy to think come June we'll have the answer to all of those questions. Now if we could just know for certain if they are identical or fraternal?! Dr says most likely fraternal but theres a small chance for identical twins still even though they have their own sacs and placentas. Now on to the name game, it is soooo tough coming up with TWO boy names we love when we've already used our boy name for Cash. Send help..<br />

I'm sure those who follow us on instagram and facebook have already seen that we shared a big announcement a couple weeks ago, we are having not one but <b>TWO new babies</b> join us this coming summer! We were on the fence about whether we would stop at two kids and told ourselves after Layla was around 15 months we would talk about a third baby. When that time came we felt like our family wasn't fully complete and decided to go for baby number 3. Within 2 months we were pregnant and just a few weeks later we found out through our first ultrasound that there were two babies growing with two perfect heartbeats and 2 sacs! It was the biggest shock of our lives, <i>literally</i>. I have never been that shocked and truly felt like it was a dream. I was sure i was going to wake up and come to find it never really happened. But the days went by and it sank in deeper and deeper. I knew there was a possibility of miscarrying one or both babies, since that happens naturally for alot of pregnancies, but i also couldnt focus on that and felt like I needed to process the fact that four babies were in our future. We would be adding a third and fourth baby<i> at the same time</i>.<br />
<br />
The first week or two was an emotional roller coaster. I went from being so thankful and excited, feeling special and trusting Gods plan, to feeling overwhelmed, anxious, fearful, and had so many thoughts of "how are we going to handle this?", "whats this mean for my other two kids already here?", "will i be able to divide myself evenly?", " how will this impact us financially?", "we need to move, get a mini van, and double baby everything?", etc etc etc. Im sure you can imagine the flood of thoughts that one might have. Not to mention the scary things you hear and read from others about twin pregnancies and deliveries and NICU stays. I had to<i> choose </i>to be thankful and turn my focus towards the gift that this is, that God chose our family for this miracle. Twins dont run in our family, this was completely a natural spontaneous crazy God miracle that somehow either my egg split (which would mean identical babies) or i randomly ovulated twice (which would mean fraternal babies). Fraternal babies are what people say can 'run in families', carried on the mothers side, she can inherit a gene that can cause "hyperovulation" which means ovulating more than one egg per cycle. I dont have this gene, twins do not run in either my mom or dads side, so we were completely shocked. There has never been a thought in my mind that twins would be apart of our future. Now its our reality and i feel like God has really helped us see this as such a huge blessing, i also think our families being so supportive and kind has helped tremendously. The fear i have about surviving this next year and a half is now gone, i know mine and my husbands families are going to be here for us and supporting us every step of the way, they have been by our side giving us all the love we could possibly need right now and i just know we're going to be ok. This is not a death sentence like some might feel or think, its a gift, and although it will initially be really hard we know in the long run is going to be so special to see all of these kids bond and have each other for a lifetime like we have with our siblings. So all in all, we have moved past fear into a really good place of peace and excitement. When i say we, i guess i really mean me, haha! My husband has been so at peace with this since the minute we saw those two babies in there, im the one who was up and down the first week, damn prego hormones. Im so thankful for him and how he is always my rock and knows just what to say to make me feel comforted and bring my head back around to gratitude and GOD. We feel grateful and are just amazed we have made it to almost 13 weeks this week with these two special babies. In a couple weeks we'll find out the genders so be sure to check back here!<br />
<br />
I'll try to be as honest and open as possible and share our journey along the way as often as i have time to on here. I know for me, reading other pregnancy blogs and twin journeys is helping so much right now for me to feel like i know what to expect, what could happen, and also finding hope in other peoples stories. I would love for you all to be a part of our journey and be praying for our little twinnies. Please share in the comments if theres anything you want to know about, any specific posts, or if you have had twins or are pregnant with twins.<br />
<br />
Also thank you all so much for all of your sweet comments, we read every single one! <br />

If you haven't checked them out you are missing out, link to their website <a href="http://www.dulcetcreative.com/">HERE</a>.

Thanks for following along all these years and to see us on the daily you can find us on Snapchat & Instagram sharing little snippets of our fun crazy lovely life. <br />

Hey ladies! Happy FALL, im loving this chilly weather this week, the wind, the rain this morning, all of it! We have been hitting every pumpkin patch in the area since October 1st and cant get enough of all of the fun festivities. Im convinced October might be one of the best months for kiddos with all of the fun activities available, there are carnivals, pumpkin patches that offer rides, games, face painting, picking pumpkins, etc, carving pumpkins, apple picking making pies, and cant forget costumes and trick or treating. Its an eventful month thats for sure. Im so excited to go into this holiday season with my two little people, Layla is old enough to get to enjoy every little bit, and Cash is already talking about Christmas! With that said i've partnered with Tart Collections to share their Fall 2016 line with you all! I love Tart, i've wore their stuff in the past and the quality is so great, it holds up even after a zillion washes because being a mom of two my clothes are always a mess at the end of they day. See below!<br />

I love living in Southern California, we have pretty smooth transitions season to season and for that im so grateful. I think it would be harder to let go of summer if i knew we were headed towards freezing cold weather where you dont want to leave being bundled up on the couch with hot cocoa. Im an outdoorsy girl and i get cabin fever pretty quickly, so the weather here is perfect for us. It gets just cold enough to wear sweaters and sip on cocoa but its also warm enough to be back at the beach by January and get away with wearing flip flops all year round if you wanted to. Summer is now coming to an end in the next couple of weeks and Fall is just around the corner. Im excited for a new season and all thinks pumpkin and all the fun that the holidays bring, especially now having two kiddos that will reap all of the benefits.<br />
<br />
Summer is always my favorite season and always feels the shortest. These next couple weeks we'll be sure to be soaking in the last of our beach days for a while and enjoying the sunshine. Our anniversary is also coming up, September 22 and we are trying to think of something fun to do with the kids and also alone together. Let me know if you guys have any fun ideas?! Also what is your favorite season and why?<br />

Life is good, really really good. BUSY, but just how you'd expect it to be with 2 babies who are less than 2 years apart. LoL. These two littles keep me going non stop all day long but they are the best gifts we could've ever asked for and im so so thankful God has chosen me to be their mama. Summer has been a blast, living outdoors with the exception of naps. I hope you all have been having a great summer as well!<br />

As promised, im sharing all of Layla's "SHES A GEM" themed FIRST birthday party details on the blog today. I know ive been super MIA lately, life is busy as a family of four in the best way and im soaking up all the time i have with these babies while theyre little and home with me. We are going from one adventure to the next and its been the best year ever. Her party was so special and so much fun. We wanted it to be really feminine and sweet just like she is! Florals, and purple, and a little sparkle, and of course gems and geodes! It was whimsical meets bohemian and everyone knows i love to party plan, but i swear after their first bday i cool it down and do simple for a few years until theyre old enough to even know its their birthday and what that means. lol. So Cashs birthday next month is going to be simple mellow and minimal but Still special of course. Anyhow, i went all out for my son and his first bday so i knew i had to for her as well, and what mama doesnt love any excuse to go all out on girly stuff when its their first year with their first baby girl!? right?!<br />
<br />
Have fun checking out the details below, i tried to link most of the places we found things or how i made things for you guys. If you have questions write me below in the comments section! <br />

My bestie made the cakes and my sister made the cupcakes. Its always nice to have helping hands when youre hosting a party and have a zillion things to do! Both sets of parents were so awesome to help out as well and pick up balloons and bring cookies and help set up! SO thankful for family that loves my little girly!<br />

^^^Gem crown was custom made by <a href="http://www.theunicornsprincess.etsy.com/">The Unicorns Princess</a> & i just added some flowers to it (which in hindsight i probably wouldnt have now looking back because she looked a little bit like Julius Caesar lol! I think if you cant have the flowers wrap all the way around its a no go! So if you purchase a gem crown from this shop make sure you leave it as is (: ^^^<br />

I also added some other options that i tried on or actually purchased but ended up going with this cute free people rose colored maxi dress. The front slits are so cute, i love the cap see through sleeves and the open back cut out V is so so cute! its on sale for $99!!Im wearing an XS for reference. Im also loving that Lucy Paris blush romper and bought it but it was a little too long on me (im 5'4) and they didnt have XS so someone needs to scoop that up asap.<br />

I bought a ton of flowers from trader joes and put together these floral arrangements to dress up the party and make it really feminine and whimsical but still have a bohemian feel. My MIL was so sweet and found me eucalyptus from her florist because i couldnt track it down anywhere.<br />

It has been fooooorever since ive sat down to write. I feel like I needed a little break from blogging because life was just going by so quickly and i wanted to enjoy and soak up more time being present with my family, not thinking at all about when i would have time to sit down and type out my thoughts/feelings etc because i already have so much on my plate. I battle having enough time daily to spend intentional time with my kids, spend time alone with God, clean, spend time with my husband, me time, cook, work, etc. I feel like i will never have enough time in the day to do everything id like to do, and its just about accepting that and knowing what i get done is enough & putting my focus on whats really important, i showed up and loved on my family. So anyhow, a break was needed and appreciated and always helps me refocus on why I have this tiny space here. I never want this blog to ever be about anything other than these few things: community, encouragement, support, fun, and a place for me to process and share because thats healing and good for the soul. There were many times i missed writing and wanted to hop back on here. So thats what this will be like now that i have 2 littles at home, theres much less me time to get on a computer and share. SO, ill be hopping on here when i can, and that'll be enough. (: </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">I hope everyone had an amazing thanksgiving</span> <span style="font-weight: normal;">with your families/friends and the people you hold dear. We had an amazing day with family and it was extra celebrating Laylas first Thanksgiving this year. We are so grateful for our growing family, our big extended family, all of our healthy bodies and minds, and the love God has given us for each other and others. Those are the things i've been focused on this year. We are making traditions with our little ones and it warms my heart to think about how excited Cash is about Christmas and the holidays this year. We got to watch my parents light up their Christmas lights last night and all the little cousins were in awe. It was so cute to see their excitement and how they all ran up to touch the lights. Having children gives the word Joy new meaning, i know kids age you because of worry, and lack of sleep and running around crazily after them....but they at the same time they have this beautiful ability to make you younger, to see things through their eyes and re-experience life and the little things like Christmas lights in a whole new way. Lights, Santa, hot cocoa, and the beginning of learning to give to a child who doesnt have toys or shoes or a family, its all so beautiful and such a blessing to watch Cash explore the world for the very first time. So with all that said, im so grateful for my family. Im beyond grateful. Words just do not convey my heart today.</span></span></span></h2>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-size: small;">I wanted to share some of my favvvvorite shops that have Black Friday deals online today! Because if you're like me and have two littles, you are avoiding the mall and the crazies out. I also wanted to share all the NUME product deals right now! I know some of you missed out on the last Nume curling wand sale that i posted and if you're shopping around for styling tools these are the way to go as far as quality and price (when they have deals going on). So here are some snippets of my hair (when mommy has time to style it) using the <a href="http://numeproducts.com/hair-styling/hot-tools/curling-wand/magic-curling-wands-32mm/">Magic 32mm Curling wand</a>! I LOVE it.</span></span></div>

Nordstrom's SALE, Yasss please</h2>
Im so glad so many of you will have a chance to try out Nume's curling wands, they will not disappoint! I'll have more coupon codes for you guys soon if you werent able to scoop one up this past week, the previous sale is over but there will be other opportunities so stay tuned. For now, i wanted to share Nordstrom is having a sale, at first i went online to check out their Nike sale (which you can browse below, sooo good) but then i got caught up looking at all of the other items on sale, with those prices for quality items they're too good to pass up. Im a bargain shopper so i though i'd share the love! Check out those Nordies prices!<br />

Okay first lets talk active wear, everything i purchase from low end brands ends up falling apart. Nike and Lulu Lemon are where its at (: . I wear active wear daily running around chasing my littles, as well as for workouts 3 days a week (if im lucky), so a couple quality pieces are important for me if i want them to last a long time. I also love the bright colorful shirts, and usually pair them with a gray or black workout pant. I threw in some boyfriend jeans, you really cant beat $39 for a good pair! That $13 wide brim hat is perfect for winter and fall and adds a lot of character to an outfit. Loving those two long sleeves and the cardigan that hits right at the knee. And i could live in those gray nike sweatpants, with a simple white tee or even a long sweater those would be so cute.<br />

Ladies! I had to jump on here and share the latest Nume wand i have been using the last couple weeks for big loose curls! I ordered the <a href="http://bptracks.com/?a=170&c=248&p=r&s1=">Magic 32mm Nume wand </a>and i have been loving it. Its swivels at the end so you never get tied up in the chord and comes with a glove for heat protection so you wont burn your hand as youre curling your hair. I love that its healthier for your hair and gives extra shine because its 100% titanium. GOOD news is Nume is offering <a href="http://bptracks.com/?a=170&c=248&p=r&s1=">ANY WAND for $26 dollars </a>today! I recommend this wand but you can also select a different one that works for your hair length and style. I love bigger curls so i went with the 32mm which is 1 inch thick. You can check out the photo i snapped quickly last week after styling my hair in 5 minutes only the top layer while i was testing it out. I am so happy with this selection and excited to share that this $149 wand is only $26 from now until October 25th! So hurry on over and scoop one up! Comes with a trial shampoo and conditioner too!<br />

Hey loves, I hope you're all enjoying this great Fall weather as much as we are over here! Im taking full advantage of wearing jeans and boots again & being outdoors as much as possible because its no longer blistering hot!! Anywho, I have had a TON of questions about where i purchased my blouse i wore over the weekend and on Laylas little beanie she wore this morning. SO i figured i might as well do a little post on those items so you guys can quickly and easily find them.<br />
<br />
We had a blast over the weekend celebrating our best friends little girl turning One! Its so bittersweet watching these babies grow up. On one hand you love seeing them hit their milestones and become little funny people with personalities but on the other hand you miss and grieve each baby stage they grow out of, like sucking their baby toes, cooing, and that yummy fresh newborn smell! GAH! i live for these sweet tender years, i just cannot even believe Layla is already 4.5 months old, this second kid thing sure does fly by! We went to the pumpkin patch twice this past week, ill share photos from there later this week. And today we took the kids on a fun morning hike, if you follow me on snapchat (tessa_rayanne) im sure you have been seeing a little glimpse into our real life and my busy boy who is always wanting to explore and adventure, and i dont mind it one bit!<br />
<br />
Anyhow, happy shopping & happy Fall!<br />

The first blouse is the exact one i purchased and i actually shared it here a couple weeks ago when i ordered it online. Its $32 i mean, you cant beat that! Everyone needs a good pair of ripped skinnies and i just bought this pair of Ralph Lauren and i love them! They have the perfect amount of stretch to them. They actually fit me perfectly when i put them on and stretched out a little bit by the second time i wore them, so you could even go a size down if you wanted to and they'll stretch to fit you perfectly, or if you order true to size like i did they work just as well they'll just be a tiny bit of a looser fit on your 2nd or 3rd day of wearing them. I couldnt find the boots i own because theyre a year old so i posted a couple budget friendly options for a tan ankle boot because everyone needs one, they go with evvvverything. I hope you have fun! There are some other peasant blouse options i listed below as well because im in love with this look and could buy them all! <br />

Infant + Toddler Fall Fashion & Halloween Costume Picks! </h2>
<h2>
</h2>
Hey guys, Im so glad you liked the makeup post as well as my fall picks post! I will try to do more of these more often instead of seasonally. I wanted to share some of our favorite items for Fall for toddlers and babies. I always try to find sales, especially with Gap, so you can check out the deals i spotted below. And i also included some of the cutest little Halloween costumes for babies and toddlers, as well as threw in a couple in there for the older kids if they were too cute not to share. I hope you like them if you're in search for an adorable or creative costume. <br />

I hope you like these picks..obviously i have a thing for babies in furry animal costumes. TOO CUTE!
Also, i added in there the Avent binkys we use for both kids, alot of you guys have asked me over the years what binkys we like and which ones we use for Cash. I also shared our favorite Fall and Winter boots, the toddler Hunters! They are a must, especially if you live somewhere with snow or a lot of rain. My son loves his boots and asks to wear them even in the summer if we are watering/gardening, he looooves them (we started with size 4 ..they run super big, and now he is in size 7 i believe, and theyre big on him but he will grow into them for winter, we double layer socks when theyre too big, its better to get them bigger so they can wear them longer)! He also lives in his Nike's. Theyre my favorite for toddlers because they have more arch support than converse and vans, but those sure are cute too and we own a couple pairs of them as well. He loves the bright blue ones so much that he has a second pair in a bigger size now. I feel like we are always having to upgrade his shoes to a bigger size, this boys feet keep on growing like weeds!
There are some super cute baby Gap jammies i added for Halloween in the above post as well..because whats cuter than festive jams! Especially matching sibling jammies. We live in cozies during the winter so of course i picked lots of cozy leggings and long sleeve shirts. Also, American Apparel makes great beanies for kiddos, the pink beanie link will show you they have all different colors. Sleep sacs are a must for the cooler winter months for infants. So are uggs, and close toed baby shoes to keep their feet warm. Socks too! <br />
<br />
I hope you guys enjoy your week and are having fun decorating for Halloween! We'll be going to the Pumpkin patch next weekend, IF the weather cools down. Its been so dang hot im nervous to take Layla out when its 100 degrees and she'll need to nap in the wrap, so its even hotter! Gotta be careful in this heat with little ones. So heres to hoping it cools down asap~! Also, im on Snapchat now so add me for daily adventures with these little people, username: tessarayanne<br />

Hi beauties, so many of you have asked about what products i've been using as of late on instagram and via email over the recent months. I havent dont an updated makeup post in a whiiiile so its about time i share some of my new favorites and those items that i've been loving for years and years. I've been a makeup lover since i was able to hold lipstick in my own hands...lets just say i could apply it without a mirror and no smudges at age 4 (says my mama) lol. I'm pretty much wearing makeup in every Christmas family photo that i was allowed to. Its pretty funny! i was a girly girl but also a tom boy. With that said, i have tried my fair share of makeup, but im always on the look out for items that you can purchase at the local drug store for reasonable prices, however some items you do have to splurge on if you want the same quality. So here are my current favorites that i use weekly:<br />
<br />

Lets start with face... i have used both olay facewash and sensitive lotion for years! I swear by it. Its gentle and an easy routine. I wash my face and lotion twice a day, once in the morning and at night when im getting ready for bed. After putting lotion on i use Mac studio fix powder foundation. Its so easy and takes me 1 minute to apply and it gives an overall even coat but its not too thick and has just enough coverage. Its pretty much the easiest/quickest way to do your face makeup. I use liquid foundation for special occasians but my everyday, work, and weekend look is with Macs studio fix. Next I recently purchases this contour and blush pallet and its supppper affordable and does the job. OKAY, now that highlighter by Becca is a MUST, i have never ever tried a better highlighter. Its pricey but so so worth it. I apply it to the bridge of my nose and on my cheekbones when i want that glow! I posted the sephora brush i love for blush and bronzer. I am a huge fan of Anastasia dip brow, its literally the best for brows.. you need an angled brush so i posted the one i've been using above. I also sometimes use their pencil. I do Revlon skinny liquid liner for my cat eye on the weekends when i want to add some drama. I love smashbox exposure pallet that ive been using for almost a year, i use mostly the matte colors. I found this Milani lipstick at the local drug store and i use the color "matte naked" #61 and its my favorite lipstick ive ever tried... its afforable at just $5 and its SO good you guys. I sometimes do a tint of revlons "Premium Pink" posted above and this stays on for hours... i just do a tiny dab and rub it all over with my finger because its bright if you apply it like normal lipstick, this will last you forever because youre just using a teeny tiny bit for a little tint..i even put the Matte Milani lipstick over it for a slightly more pink nude, thats been my favorite the past few months mixing the two. Okay, and lastly i have used the same Maybelline Volume mascara since 7th grade people!! Thats a lifetime, but this is theeee only mascara that comes close (and i might even say better because its all natural, organic, vegan paraban and preservative free) and its by Arbonne..love love love their mascara, ive been using it for a month and i am in love. So there you have it ladies! You can order through my girl Kelly by shopping (<a href="http://kellyguigni.arbonne.com/">here</a>). These are my current favorites and i swear by them!<br />
<br />
I am dying to try Honest Beauties new line of natural organic products. If you ladies have any suggestions of makeup you love love love please share below in the comments section. Im always looking to try something new!<br />

We had rain both yesterday and today, hurray!!! And some cooler weather and gloomy skies. Im so much more excited about candles, soup, and all things Fall when the weather matches! I just cant do soups and warm chunky sweaters when its 90 degrees out, who can?!
Anyhow, which the cooler weather coming our way, finally, and hoping its here to stay.. lets get into some of my favorite current Fall picks! Most of these are budget friendly with the exception of a couple items that will last longer and that are better to splurge on, like a really good statement piece or a neutral sweater you can wear with pretty much everything. I love spending more on pieces that are timeless, like a good boot too! check out my picks below and be sure to share your favorites or places you love to shop online (easier for us mamas) for winter weather finds/good basics for warm or cold weather!<br />
<br />
starting with a couple things i just ordered..<br />

I ordered a black and dark gray of the v neck tees because theyre simple basics you can layer with cute sweaters or wear on warmer days with a pair of ripped jeans & lets face it for quality tees theyre only 14 on sale! . I ordered that cream peasant blouse because the details and the price! I ordered that free people loose boyfriend V neck that goes high to low (can be worn on or off the shoulder, love!) and im obsessed with the cut and fit, you will love it,... and its on sale (i ordered size small and bought it in lavender and love the grayish color tone to it.. i might need the maroon!). Below are a few other picks for Fall that i think are too cute to pass up.<br />

^^^A Shake Shack day date with our babies^^^ </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Hey all! I havent posted in a while..which should tell you ladies that life lately has been a little busy! Life with two just gets busier by the day! Im back at work, but my girly decided on my first day back to not take the bottle any longer after taking it 1-2 times a week from 4 weeks until 14 weeks she decided to boycott it. Any tips on that would be great!! Anyhow im working two nights a week after shes in bed, thankfully girlfriend set her own bed time for 6-6:20 and is usually almost asleep by the time i leave. Its kind of a blessing in disguise because im not ready to leave her just yet so now i get to spend the day with both of my kiddos and leave right around their bedtime. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been adjusting to her naps and wake time changing as well. I have become a planner when it comes to leaving the house, i have to plan around when she'll need to nap (usually after 50 mins of wake time shes ready to go down) so i have to stay wherever i am once shes fallen asleep in the wrap for a least an hour so she gets a solid nap in. I know there are moms that just bring their baby wherever whenever and let them crash on their own once theyre to the point that they cant keep their eyes open any longer, and there are moms whos babys nap short naps here and there while driving and wake up when they arrive at their destination. But im not that mama. I just feel guilty keeping her awake when shes tired or making her wake up from a nap when she isnt ready to. I know sometimes i dont have a choice if we have to be somewhere or leave somewhere, but if i can ill always do whats in the best interest for my kiddos, even when thats inconvenience. Im seeing more and more that im probably not the mama whos cut out to have 4 kids, i think i would always feel bad inside that my 4th was being neglected and getting the short end of the stick, lol. But anyhow we are all different, there isnt a right way to do it. I struggle with mom guilt on the daily so i know im probably not cut out for a huge tribe. God created all of us moms with unique personalities and we parent differently based on that. Im someone who likes a schedule and having my kids be really great sleepers who can fall asleep in their cribs and take naps and have early bed times. I love knowing theyre well rested, that theyll sleep when someone else is babysitting them (because i work), and that their little bodies and brains are getting the sleep they need. I also enjoy the break! Im all about giving them the love that they need and try my best daily to spend quality time with each of them together as a family of 4 as well as one on one. Its hard work but to me its worth it. I life for my family, they are the reason i get up and do everything i do each day. There was once a time when i did a lot for myself and put my needs first but the moment i became a wife and a mama is the moment God really taught be about unconditional love and selflessness. The "me" time i once had is very minimal. I know its important but theres also a time and a place for it. Right now my babies are little and i soak up as much of these short years as i can. Im all for going out on dates with my husband and girls nights etc, but its nice that i dont miss out on much with my kids because theyre asleep when we leave. Now that my son is older he has a ton of fun hanging out at daycare at MOPS, going on play dates with his grandparents etc. He truly is so loved by our families and we are so blessed that he has such a special close relationship with each of them. I am thankful for a little break here and there during the day when hes off playing with them for a couple hours. My little lady is only just about 4 months and as i mentioned doesnt take a bottle so she doesnt quite leave mamas side quite yet and im perfectly ok with that and prefer it when theyre so tiny and dependent on you.</div>

Lately, we have been playing a ton with family since my sisters have tiny babies a month apart from layla and kids similar in age to my toddler Cash. Its such a blessing and i dont take it for granted for a second that they live close and theyre my best friends. A lot of my girlfriends have little kiddos similar in age as well so thats always fun when we get together. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Im looking forward to coming out of the newborn phase and all the foggy sleepless nights here very soon! At least thats my hope. haha. Layla usually does a 5-7 hour stretch at night frm 6/630pm to around 12ish. After that its every 2-3 hours sometimes another 4 if im lucky that she'll wake to eat. Then shes up for the day around 7/730 and takes 4 naps a day usually around an hour sometimes less sometimes more. She eats every 2 hours on average (1.5-2.5) and is a good nurser. She is the happiest smiliest little baby and we are so thankful we were gifted with her. I look forward to the day that Cash and Layla can play and be best buddies, but for now ill snuggle her up close while shes little and immobile. lol. </div>

What else is new.... i guess we are just enjoying being a family of 4 and adjusting the past few months. If you guys have any questions please let me know in the comments below. Love you all and cant wait to share more of our new family member. (;</div>

I'm glad I waited a few months to share on the topic of having two babies two years apart (22.5 months to be exact). My thoughts and feelings change weekly so now I have a little more gathered together to put down on paper. </div>

In the months leading up to having Layla I was anxious to share my heart with another child other than my first. The idea of giving all of myself to each of them seemed impossible. I have talked in the past about my mama guilt and how I struggle with that fuuuuur reals. I am always asking myself if I'm meeting my kids needs, so I knew taking on two would be hard. I assumed it was going to be extremely challenging initially getting the hanging of everything. </div>

The moment I met Layla I fell in love. My heart grew a billion times bigger and made room for this sweet angel of ours. Seeing my son with her makes me love them both even more. The first week was a lot of my hubs taking my son to play outside of the house while I hung back at home with our new babe. I felt guilty and disconnected from my toddler and missed him dearly but I knew I needed to rest and that he would soon be mamas boy again. The following week dad went back to work and it was game on! I was ready to take on the challenge of doing two but my sister who had a month head start with her newborn and toddler insisted she would help out and show me the ropes. Guys, this was <i>huuuge</i>. She was so helpful, when I needed to nurse and we were at a park she would take over and watch the toddlers and push them on the swing, etc. She helped me gracefully figure out how to do two outside and in stores by myself. Having a friend/sister there with me gave me a safety net just incase I needed someone to help out for a sec. I highly recommend gathering together with another mama you're close with and asking for help that first month. We learned to venture off on our own but we still plan a lot of play dates with my sisters who both have newborns and are germ conscious and need to find shaded areas for their kids to play so the new babies have protection from the hot summer sun. Play dates with other mamas are always welcome but these first few months you have to be that annoying guarded mom who asks "has anyone been sick within the last two weeks?". Usually i have found my mama friends to be very understanding and always wanting to protect the baby too.</div>

The first couple months made me feel like super mom. My son was adjusting well, loving on his sissy every chance he had. And I felt like I was managing two pretty well without too much additional stress. Things were going smoothly and the transition was easy and natural. Life wasn't back to normal completely aka grocery shopping solo or leaving whenever I want to, and sleeping all night without waking up. Lol. But things were going better than I had expected adjusting to two would be. </div>

This third month took a little turn because we went on vacation, I'm heading back to work twice a week now, we began a healthy sleep routine/starting some sleep training, and little lady is currently going through a 'wonder week'. When all that goes on all at once it can cause some unwanted stress and change a moms tune about having more than two kiddos ha! So moral of the story, parenting kids is going to change from week to week, especially the first year of an infants life because they are going through so many changes nothing ever stays the same. Their schedule changes so often I can barely keep up, they're learning new milestones, staying awake longer periods and needing to sleep at different times. Just when you think you've figured it out and have a routine down you have to adapt to their needs and change it all up again. The best pointer I can offer is just to roll with the punches as hard as that is. Try not to think too far into the future and worry yourself overall the unknowns. Try your best each day to do what you feel is right in the moment and not to beat yourself up later if you get it all wrong. Make sure to have a lot of '<i>check ins</i>' with your partner on how you're both coping and handling all the change and crazy foggy days of lack of sleep, handling multiples, etc. And most importantly get on the same page with your spouse. I can't tell you how important having spousal support and having them back you is! I would've have been able to sleep train or have a bed time routine without my husband backing it 100%. He helps out, he keeps us on track too, and he supported me when I felt like giving up or had a hard day of Cash napping all whacky. Now our 2 year old still takes a 2-3 hour nap and falls asleep all on his own, anyone can put him down for bed because he does the work himself, he hasn't woke up at night since he was 9 months old, and he sleeps 11.5 hours at night with the same bed time every evening. We are working on Layla's sleep routine, she's currently going to bed between 6/645pm depending on her last nap. And wakes up throughout the night usually 1-3 times to eat, then goes back down. Sometimes we are lucky and she only wakes once. Other times she's going through a growth spurt and wakes a bunch. But that's what I mean by rolling with the punches. She sleeps in until anywhere from 730-10am. The first couple months it was always 9-10am that she would wake for the day, but since around 13 weeks she's had a few days of waking earlier around 730-830 so I think she's finally getting into a normal groove. You can't be too scheduled with newborns, they change literally almost weekly. She has great sleep cues to let you know she's tired but she's also very consistent with her optimal wake time being 40-50 mins. So I put her down usually around 40/45 mins of wake time so she's asleep within 15 mins of then. I've tried to gently implement healthy sleep habits like we did with Cash early on. So around 8 or so weeks we started doing the majority of naps upstairs in a white dark room with the sound machine going. Not long after we began this routine for naps and bed we also started rocking just until her eyes barely closed and then putting her down so she could fall asleep on her own (i had to do this early on because my toddler would get upset every time i left to put her down so i needed the time i spent upstairs without him to be a shorter period due to his new adopted struggle of me walking away with the baby). Some days I would have to help her out and pat her back and other days within a few mins she would drift off all on her own after laying there for a bit. She is a tummy sleeper.. Feel free to judge me. I probably would've sat here and told you all the safety issues with this but we only let her snooze on her tummy for naps (since we can watch her closely)and then flip her on her back for bedtime. About a week ago she wasn't into the bed time on her back anymore so we started letting her sleep on her tummy the last few nights and she wakes far less and easily goes back to sleep now. Some babies just prefer their tummy and really struggle on their backs. Cash wasn't a tummy sleeper until he was way older and could slip himself on to his tummy. Every baby is different and you have to adjust your parenting to what they each individually need. I pray over her every day and feel that shes strong enough now since shes been flipping over onto her back since 4 weeks old.</div>

A couple tips for moms going from one to two babies:</div>

<b>Invest in a double stroller.</b></div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>Invest in a wrap</b> so you can wear them for a couple naps out because your toddler will NEED to have social interaction and play time outside the house. And newborns sleep a ridiculous amount of naps the first few months so the wrap is my best purchase yet! I wear it daily for 1-2 naps. She takes 4-5 naps a day that are around 1 hour sometimes her afternoon naps are 2 hours. </div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>Introduce the bottle early on around week 4</b>, keep trying if they don't take it. It's important to have just for an emergency or if you're interested in ever having a date night without worrying in the back of your mind if your baby wakes up that they won't have a way to eat. Also if you're a working mom this is obviously necessary</div>

<b>Invest in a good cover and get comfortable nursing in public quickly</b>. With your second baby running to the car to nurse or trying to plan out when they need to eat before you go somewhere isn't always doable. </div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>If you're going to nap your new baby in the wrap be sure to try and time how long you'll be at the destination for.</b>. Because around 3 months a lot of babies don't do well with transferring from the wrap asleep into their car seat .. And you know the rule, "never wake a sleeping baby". So make sure you are at your destination long enough for an hour nap (or however long your baby usually needs) </div>

<b>If you have a hard day or hard week know that the next week will probably be different and keep your hopes up. </b></div>

<b>Don't make decisions on whether you want another child in the future when you're still in the sleep deprivation mode</b> and when your baby is still extremely dependent on you. Just don't do it. lol</div>

<b>Make sure to eat and drink enough water if you're nursing.</b> Trust me sometimes I forget if I even ate breakfast. Toddler life I tell ya. And I'm clearly in a sleep hAze. </div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>Take help if people offer it.</b> </div>
<div style="-webkit-composition-fill-color: rgba(130, 98, 83, 0.0980392); color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.701961); font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 17px; text-decoration: -webkit-letterpress;">
<b>Know that this phase is <i>temporary.</i></b> Soak in the good days of newborn yumminess and know that the hard days of feeling tired and low energy and irritable will pass. I tell my husband this frequently.. because right now having two little ones demands alot of a mother, hes so supportive and that comforts me.<br />

Hi beauties, this post has been a long time coming! I started her nursery early on into my pregnancy when i found out we were having a girl. I didn't think we would have a little lady next so when i found out we were all i could see was blush pink and flowers galore.. i wanted feminine everything..her name, her room, her clothes, etc. I have waited my entire life for a family, i found my soul mate, we had our sweet little boy, and now we have our darling little girl. I couldnt ask for more to have one of each and get to experience both sides. I love having a little boyfriend, the kisses and love he gives are endless and he will forever be my guy. But when we're talking whats more fun as far as styling nurserys and baby clothes go.. id say girl all the way even though its been just 2.5 months of having her here. There are so many more options for girls and so much fun you can do. Im more minimalistic when dressing my son and with her im all about the accessories, fun colors, florals, oh what the heck, a little sparkle even. (:<br />
<br />
So when designing her room i wanted to do something feminine and whimsical. I really wanted it to be full of flowers, blushy soft pinks, and specks of gold with a shabby chic touch. Some of it is DIY projects, some of it was a collection of several talented shops who were so sweet to collaborate on this piece with me & help me achieve my vision. I love having something different and special for my kids. I like to do my own thing and thats why picking pieces from all over was so fun! I believe in being original and creative when decorating & finding inspiration from all over the place. Im not about taking other peoples ideas or replicating what someone else has already done, whats the fun in that?. Do what YOU love, design something that you see for your child, something that you think will describe them well and that you both will feel at peace, at ease, and refreshed when you walk into their room. Layla girl, i hope you love your first room, that you wake up to beautiful flowers every morning right above you, that you and i create beautiful memories playing dress up in here, I hope we share many moments on that chair nursing just like I did with your sweet brother, and we get to read books and crawl around your floor. There are so many great moments to come in this special little place of yours. <br />

^^^Pink print design bin (holding stroller blankets) is from Target. The beautiful white dresser is vintage and is the most special piece in Laylas nursery. It was my mothers when she was a baby and she used it growing up. My grandma gave it to Layla as an heirloom. I LOVE it and kept the old paint job. This will be a piece that we will continue to pass along in our family. The gold frame with the floating floral "L" was made for us by my best friend and was a baby shower gift. </div>

^^^i adore this bird cage used to hang all of her headbands and bows. I snagged it up from Homegoods and found the tiny clothes pins at target. They also have gold sparkly clothes pins but i didnt think sparkles all over the place would be very fun, even though they were sooooo cute i almost took the bate. </div>

Hey beauties, i started working on this post 10 days ago.. and look where we are now! I have my hands full these days with a newborn that needs me non stop and a teething two year old busy boy. I cant imagine how crazy life is going to get next month when i go back to work twice a week! Im putting together Layla's nursery tour post and a life with my new little one post to share for all of you who have been asking how im handling/managing things, and most frequently asked how we get out with two these days. Thank you for being loyal followers and coming here to check in, i know i have been a little more absent these past few weeks with our new baby but we are getting into a rhythm with things and i will be posting more frequently here again shortly! <br />
<br />
Today i have <a href="http://buttermilkbabies.com/">Buttermilk Babies</a> Swaddle blankies to share with you! I mean, this yellow one is perfect for boy or girl, and im loving how bright and playful it is! They have some pretty creative hilarious swaddle options, which i totally dig that theyre not all baby-ish and have more adult humor to them. Im a swaddle blanket addict, as ive mentioned before, i love having options that match her outfit or what im wearing since i often am basically wearing the swaddle when i shield her little face from the sun with one when i wear in my wrap. I also go through so many a day, one that covers her carseat from the sun or her in my wrap (as i just mentioned) this is less sanitary so i dont like to put the same one on her, one for putting on her if shes cold, and then one at night to swaddle her in thats clean and hasnt touched a bunch of stuff when we're out for the day. SO i need at least 3 a day, and we all know we are not doing laundry daily when i have so much going on, its more like every other day around here right now. I have to say, these are the biggest swaddles we have ever had, theyre bigger then Aiden + Anias bamboo ones and just as soft! I have gone through my fair share of hard ones that feel like theyve been starched lol. These are baby soft and huge so you can swaddle them up without trouble. Take a peek over at their shop as well as down below to see some of the fun prints we chose.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
Wednesday morning June 3rd (at 38 weeks, 6 days pregnant), the day before Layla was born I had a membrane sweep around 9am. The dr had said I was now 2 cm and ripe as well as 60% effaced and baby was at -1 station. I knew a sweep worked with my son so I had high hopes that this would throw me into labor if my body and our sweet girl were both ready. I had been having 'bloody show', cramping on and off and tons of braxton hicks for several days as you can see in my pregnancy updates. After my sweep I left the dr's office and had a lot of cramping right away. Throughout the day my cramps with braxton hicks continued on and off. It basically felt like the days previous, just like regular menstrual cramps, there was no pattern to them or anything of that sort. I went about my day as i usually would but paid close attention to how my body was feeling. My son and i went to the park to play for a couple hours and i felt like they were still consistent around 3-4pm. We headed home to start dinner around 530 and i noticed they were still here 8.5 hours after my sweep. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was texting my sisters about it around 650 and i noticed for the first time all day that i was getting them every 8 minutes now. So instead of feeling them constant or every so often, they were now coming and going forming a pattern of every 8 minutes. I also noticed for the first time that they had a peak of intensity, and that the cramps were a little painful (like a period) plus tightening like a braxton hick and pain in my back. They would start off slow and then the peak would be a little bit crampier/with pain and then they would die down and this happened every 8 mins. At this point i started tracking them to see if they were going to pick up and how often they were coming. They were lasting a minute long.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At 8pm they were coming steadily 5 minutes apart. Not hurting to the point where i couldn't talk or move though, they were more like strong period cramps still with an ache in my back, especially when a contraction came. I decided to call my husband at work and tell him its time to come home "just incase this is it" (because my dr told me that morning that i would probably progress really quickly). She had said to call when contractions were 10 mins apart. i knew from my sons birth that i was not about to go to the hospital UNTIL i couldnt talk through them, i was not up for being sent home like i was with him and then coming back an hour or two later after feeling like i was dying laboring at home.<i> So i waited</i>. My friends and family were telling me to GO and get checked. It was now around 10-11pm and i was still laboring at home with contractions that were definitely stronger but still i could talk through them..so i kept waiting, walking around and cleaning, packing, etc. At 12am they were 2 minutes apart steadily and lasting over a minute. My sisters were begging me to go to the hospital saying i could be progressing really quick at this point and that if i didnt want to give birth at home i should GO NOW (because 2nd babies come quicker). I just didnt feel like they were painful enough that i couldnt talk through them, i was breathing through them because they hurt (mostly in my back and radiating down my thighs and hips), but i could still talk if someone asked me a question. Ugh, back labor again. Or maybe this is just how my body handles contractions/labor? I was so bummed to feel this terrible pain in my back once again, i had hoped this labor would be different then the start of how my sons was 2 years ago. I was determined to not get sent home this time. At this point i was certain i was in labor it was just a waiting game for the painful intensity i knew i needed to have to be admitted and for these contractions to really be dilating me. I knew i was at "about 2cm" this morning according to my doctor, and i needed to be 4cm for them to admit me right away without question... which was my goal. I didnt want to walk the halls or be sent home or uncomfortable driving back and forth in a car, so i waited and waited.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At 2am i was hurting more and more, my back was killing so i was leaning over and swaying trying to let me body open up and dilate. I was breathing through just fine but because they had been coming on since 6ish, and now just 2 mins apart for 2 hours, i decided to call the dr on call and ask her what she thought i should do. I was able to talk to her but paused and would need to breathe through a contraction when it came. She advised me because it was my second baby and they were steadily 2 mins apart and i had been laboring for several hours that i should head to the hospital to be "checked". So we took our sweet time loading up the car, grabbing a snack, and calling over my in laws to stay the night with Cash at our home.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When we got in the car my husband asked me "do you want me to take the long way or the short way" and i told him "the long way" to give my body even more time to dilate. Oh boy, the minute we started driving the pain was WAY worse, i think because of sitting down and having the babys head pressing down on my back. Standing was way more bearable but i didnt have a choice for the next 15 or so minutes in the car, so i tried as hard as i could to focus on breathing and just close my eyes.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When we arrived at the hospital with my sons labor, my contractions slowed way down from the anxiety and excitement, right when i left the hospital (after being sent home) they increased and were 10x more painful. With that experience in mind I kept myself even keeled, calm, and just focused on breathing. I didnt want to allow myself any feelings of anxiety or excitement, i wanted those contractions to keep on coming and keep dilating me. Just like with Cash, i came all ready with makeup on etc because i had it on from before labor even started.. i knew they would think "she aint in labor" so i made sure to not do any touching up, no lipstick or anything of that sort, and wore sweats and put my hair back. TRUST me.. it makes a difference when those nurses see you all dolled up, they are less likely to be on your side and admit you if youre between 3-4 cm and they have any choice in the matter. Im not sure why that is, but they are just less likely to have sympathy or believe youre really in active labor (PAIN!). I digress.. back to the story. So they hooked me up to the monitor and sure enough my contractions were strong and still coming 2-5 min apart lasting over a minute. The nurse checked me and said i was "about 3 cm". Now, let me tell ya, with my son i came in with back labor in a lot of pain and was only 2cm. An hour and a half later i was a stretchy 3, but that hour and half felt like murder. Back labor is no joke, it takes a lot longer to dilate you because of the babies position, but its excruciating pain and super exhausting. Hence why i waited at home so long. I have a ton of friends who make it to 3 cm before labor even starts, or their early labor just feels like menstrual cramps. LUCKY ladies, because when their labor starts their body goes to 4 and thats when the real pain begins. For me that wasnt the case with either baby. I wasnt blessed with skipping out on back labor the first or second time and early labor heading into active labor hurts like hell.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Being a stretchy 3 is when i was admitted with my first delivery, they knew i was dilating hourly so they admitted me. With this baby because the first time they checked me i was only 3cm the nurse decided i was in "early labor and it could be weeks or days" before active labor dilated me further. I knew i was in real labor, not the labor that is just menstrual cramps and braxton hicks. I was having to breathe through.. was this nurse high? i mean really? I should probably add, THIS nurse, was the same nurse who sent me home with my son! YEP. ANd i told her that. We had a good laugh, but inside i was like "hmm i really dont like you lady". I will never forget her, and now i will really really nevvver forget her. HA!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They wanted to monitor me because my contractions were so close together and i was 2cm earlier that day and now about a 3, so they told me i could stay there for an hour and they would watch. The nurse comes back after about 20 minutes and says I have to drink some ice gold apple juice to try to wake the baby up. She said they hadnt seen any jumps in the babies heart rate and they like to see them every 20 mins or so to make sure baby is handling my contractions well. So I drank the juice & my anxiety spiked. I was nervous. She had mentioned they would admit me if the baby wasnt showing any spikes in her heart rate. .. 20 mins later..NADA. She was "Sleeping" the nurse said but this wasnt waking her up. So they put this little buzzer on my tummy that vibrated for a couple seconds.. NADA. After 40-50 mins of this the nurse said i would probably be admitted and we needed to get baby out quickly. So off she went to show the dr the babies heart rate pattern from that past 50 minutes of monitoring. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
When the nurse left i felt the baby moving and waking up. I was SOOOO relieved!! AMEN! She was okay and i wouldnt need any intervention or speeding anything up. The words C section were flooding my mind, but now i knew we were safe. The nurse came back with a big smile and said "okay she was just holding out on me! GOOD shes awake". So lets go back to that "anxiety". Remember how i mentioned that anxiety and stress can slow your contractions,.. so can laying down. I realized my contractions were spacing out 5-7 mins now instead of 2-5. I was so stressed about Layla not moving and her heart rate not having any spikes after drinking juice and the buzzer that i was slowing them down. This made me really nervous for when the nurse was about to check me. I sort of knew that this past 40-50 mins probably wasnt dilating me much.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And what do you know, the nurse checks me and says im still at a 3. I told her i was about a 3, and now im a 3, does that make any difference? I also said "but i have been stressed and theyre spacing out because of that" and she said ok go walk the halls for an hour and lets see what happens. So off we went! The contractions started coming every 5 minutes again like clockwork. So within that hour of walking i had a good 10 contractions, i also started feeling nauseous like i was going to throw up and had diarrhea (sorry TMI) but when a big contraction came i had to run to the bathroom twice. Thankfully this cleared me out before delivery lol. My contractions were getting really strong and walking through them was so hard, i would have to stop and breathe and sway my hips. I started getting so nervous that i wouldnt be to 4cm within just an hour and that my body was stuck at 3 because of the babies position and back labor taking longer. I knew once i hit 4-5 cm thats when my labor would pick up and was so scared it would be too late if they sent me home and that i would deliver in the toilet! HA. That was my worst fear. Just thinking about sitting in the car again with even stronger contractions and now nausea and having to go to the bathroom sounded so terrible. And not just sitting in the car ONE more time, but having to drive all the way back to the hospital a couple hours from now in EVEN More pain then now seemed like my worst nightmare. My husband kept telling me "you're going to progress, just focus on right now and lets keep walking and breathing through". He was truly my rock and helped me stay calm.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The hour was up, my prayers were constant. Begging God to please make this labor different, please dont let them send me home again like with my son. And out came the words "youre still 3 centimeters". Tears flooded my eyes. I told her i would be back, that this is exactly what she did with my son, i knew it wasnt her fault but i felt so frustrated. I wanted to vomit, i had the runs and so much bloody show, my body was clearly in labor and i couldnt believe they could send me home like that. My pain was so bad, all i could do was cry because i felt hopeless. I was terrified that i would have to go home and labor there for an hour or two with increasing pain when i could hardly handle what i was currently enduring. All i could think about was the pain increasing and having no option at home for any relief. And what if my baby came.. so many what ifs!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The nurse offered me an ambien. Yep. I couldnt even believe she offered to give me a sleep aid. Especially one that makes you hallucinate if you dont sleep when taking it. Are you serious? I knew this baby was coming, so what if i had taken that being a new mom or something and not knowing i was going to have to push a baby out soon? I cant even imagine laboring and feeling groggy and out of it. So of course i declined.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
We called my in laws and told them we were being sent home. My husband made it clear that we would be heading back to the hospital in an hour and just needed to labor at home to let my body progress. I didnt want my son seeing me in that much pain (it was 5am now and i knew he would be up around 630am) so we went to their house to labor there and they stayed at ours. Into the bath i went. I had labored in the bath with my son, it was all that made my back feel better, so i knew that was the first thing i wanted to do. The tub at their house was so small so my back wasnt really even in the water because i had to get on all fours to help the baby move off my spine and relieve my back pain a bit, so my husband had to sit next to me and pour water over my lower back each contraction, which were consistently 2 mins apart, lasting over a minute..giving me barely any break. I was in so much pain, all i could do was close my eyes and moan. Breathing through them but feeling so nauseous and sick. At one point i had to jump out of the tub during a contraction, kick my husband out of the bathroom and get back on the toilet,.. my poor body was going through hell. My hubs kept getting phone calls from my mom and texts from my doula best friend telling him to call the dr and get her to admit me. So he called her, after being home for about 30-45 mins, she asked him a bunch of questions but i knew i needed to be the one to talk to her. So I got myself out of the tub, got on the phone and told her how i was feeling and that i was having really awful back labor, diarrhea, and felt like i could throw up any minute. She asked if my pain was worse and i said YES. She told us to come back and get checked and that i would probably be admitted. I wasnt into that answer, i needed certainty if i was going to get back in that car and drive all the way there putting myself through even more pain having to sit there with the babys head right on my spine. So I said "im not coming back unless you promise me you will admit me".. She said "hunny im 100% certain you will be admitted". I have never heard more comforting words. HALLELUJAH! I threw my clothes on, my husband grabbed ours stuff, and we were about to head out when i suddenly felt this violent urge to throw up. I ran to the bathroom with my hand over my mouth and barely made it to the toilet. After vomitting the little to nothing i had in my stomach, i was dry heaving over and over. Misery is the the only word to describe it. We grabbed a bucket for the car and off we went back to the hospital an hour after just being there.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Going back this time was just like heading back to the hospital after i was sent home with Cash. I was now soaking wet, hair in a bun, no makeup on, crying in pain. A hot mess is one way to describe it. This is the women the nurses like to see. Haha, so just take note of that if youre going to deliver a baby soon. LOl. When i arrived they were switching shifts with new nurses, just like how they were when we came back with my sons birth. Im serious, i felt like i was in a twilight zone. This birth story is just way too similar to my sons. It was so bizarre! When i looked up to see who was going to "check me" it was that same mean nurse <i>again</i>. But this time, my mom met us there, and she wasnt going to take any bull from this nurse. Shes delivered 5 kids and seen a lot of births, she knew i was in labor and ready to be admitted, having her there gave me comfort, her and my husband were going to fight for me. And i knew the dr on call had promised me i could stay. The nurse handed me the gown and a bag for my clothes in the triage room, but this time i said screw the privacy of the bathroom im in so much pain, and i stripped down right there.. i think she knew i meant business. When your in agony you really dont care who sees what. The nurse checked me and i laid there praying, <i>Lord please have mercy on me.</i> And just like that, i was 5 centimeters and admitted. Tears again. But this time, happy tears of sweet joy and relief. We were ready to have a baby, i was ready SO ready for that epidural.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At this point my body was shaking. I couldnt control it, i couldnt even open my eyes the pain was so intense. I knew I needed to have an IV put in so i could go through a whole bag of fluids before they would administer an epidural, so i asked for that as soon as possible. All i could think about was the epidural. Thats all i knew i needed to make it to. So i closed my eyes and took deep breathes and focused through this last hour of contractions. I should probably mention my new nurse came in and it was the same nurse that admitted me with Cash and delivered him! So the same nurse sent me home again and the same new nurse would deliver my daughter that delivered my son. People were hooking things up, asking me questions & i couldnt even respond. The new doctor on call came in right away and checked me and i was now already 7cm.
So basically i had left the hospital at 5am at 3cm and came back an
hour later at 5cm, and about a half hour later before my epidural was
7cm..so in two hours i went from 3-7cm. I almost didnt make it to
getting my epidural. Finally the anesthesiologist was here, while he was setting everything up it felt like an eternity, but he kept reminding me you only have a few more contractions left, then the pain will be gone. So i focused on those words. Shaking, my feet dangling off the side of the bed, bending over waiting for him to poke me with that giant shot.. the one shot that actually feels something like heaven, (<i>kidding, </i>kind of). & then, Instant relief. He administered a lighter dose of the spinal tap and a 10 for my epidural. I told him im sensitive to the initial part of the epidural so he explained he can give a lighter spinal tap which is what first gives you relief until the epidural kicks in (not sure if thats accurate but that was my understanding of it when in a tremendous amount of pain ha). My doctor came back in to break my water, and within a half hour she came back and checked me and i was now 10cm and baby was -1, which means she was a little bit high but the doctor was confident i could push her down myself and didnt need to wait to labor down. We were ready to start pushing!! WHAT??! I just got here?.. yep. Thank God my husband had called the dr at home when he did!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
They wanted to drain my bladder first so they inserted a catheter and figured that might move the baby down a little bit too. I FELT IT. oh boy, i knew if i could feel the catheter that i would be definitely feeling this baby come out. I tried not to dwell on it and focused on how i was about to meet our baby girl. They set up the room and we were now ready to push. The room was a lot more quiet then with my son, it was calm and my husband mom and sister were the only ones there this time. No one was counting while i was pushing, no one was holding my legs this time but me. It was just different, not good or bad but a different experience then with my son. The doctor was so encouraging telling me "you have such good control", "push just 90% percent", "good job" etc. Having someone talk to you and give direction is so nice. I could feel her as i was pushing, right when she was crowing and my body was stretching was the most painful part. I didnt want to stop pushing to wait for another contraction, i wanted her out because pausing there with her hed stretching me was killing. So i asked if i could keep pushing and the dr let me. Out she came in just a couple pushes total. I think i pushed for maybe 4 minutes including waiting for contractions. It was soooo fast! Painful, but not like i would have imagined. I wasnt screaming, it was just a burning pain with a lot of pressure and the feeling as though you are tearing. But i could handle it. To me the contractions and back pain were far worse then feeling the pain of having the baby actually come out of me. She came out with her hand next to her cheek, which is so cute because thats how she likes to sleep, with one hand swaddled out right next to her face. She looked so much like her brother, the minute i saw her i felt like i was reliving meeting my son. It was so surreal. I couldnt believe how similar this birth was, and now she looked just like him! They let me hold her on me for a little while and then took her to weigh her and clean her/check her out. She was the EXACT weight and height as my son at birth, 7.4 oz and 18.5 inches. Talk about crazy!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She is sweet perfection, we are in heaven with our little girl. She latched on right away for our miracle skin to skin hour and has been a great eater since! We opted not to do chord blood banking this time since we already did it with my son. And I only had 2 small natural first degree tears this time around which have healed way quicker then the episiotomy cut that they gave me with Cash. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although the laboring at home part has been so painful with both kids, my experience after being admitted has always been pleasant and so special. Laboring and giving birth is such a gift, my birth stories are some of my favorite memories. I am proud of what my body can do and that its created two perfectly healthy little children. I am so blessed to have been through this experience, pain and all and wouldnt change any of it. I hope my story can encourage you in some way.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And for those of you that have asked, we will probably have one more baby in the future. In the moment i always tell my husband NEVER again, but right when that sweet smelling precious innocent newborn is in my arms i always beg for another! You truly do forget the pain immediately. No pain in the world could stop me from wanting a lifetime with these special little people of ours.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">(^^A photo taken years ago when I first met the talented <a href="http://whitneydarling.com/">Whitney Darling</a>, i thought it was only fitting to share^^)</span></h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh today i have something special for you, a guest post by someone I truly admire, someone i've only met once in person but have followed along on her journey somehow via social media for several years now. We both share friends in common, grew up in South Orange County, have two new babies both a boy and a girl, and most similarly have a calling on our hearts to share our story and be a "vessel of Gods light". She is an incredibly gifted woman, she has a way with her words and expressing her heart so openly and beautifully, and my oh my you should see life through her eyes with the photos she takes! Miss <a href="http://whitneydarling.com/">Whitney</a> is a photo journalist but so much more than that. I frequently see her status updates on my feed and am always amazed at what God is sharing through her each week. Yesterday I came across a post of hers on her blog and was so moved by those necessary words i read, that i asked her if i could share it here in this special space and place of mine. So today i'm pleased to share <a href="http://whitneydarling.com/">Whitney Darling</a> with you all.</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
Her beautiful message of <i> "Encouragement On The Topic Of Struggle"</i>:<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>"It is the struggle in life that often renders me powerless enough for
long enough to make sincere space (in my otherwise egocentric mind) for
God.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I wish I could say that without toil I glorify God, that in all
things good and perfect, say a lush garden or a sensitive moment, that
my born instinct is to turn t0 God and be overwhelmed with thanksgiving.
I wish it was my instinct to not feel good owed to me. To always recognize grace and beauty as a gift. To glorify someone who deserves
glory. I wish it was my instinct to choose faithfulness to my creator.
But as the book tells it: centuries of waywardness and deception has
allowed for me to be a woman who is genetically predisposed to choosing
myself over everything and everyone else. I am hardwired to wander from
rightness.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>The most basic strand of pride has created an ugly pattern in me. If I
go long enough without struggling, I begin to overlook the face and
works of God.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Oddly enough, even with all of the astonishing beauty and miraculous
good in the world, maybe I could somehow still explain it all away.
Maybe without struggle, without need, I wouldn’t have enough depth to
reach for God. Maybe without struggle, I wouldn’t hope in his ability OR
simply believe in his existence.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>It is not until desperation that the temporary God I’ve made of
myself crumbles. It is not until prostrate on the floor beating my fists
in disbelief or frustration or downright anger, or maybe in the fetal
position rocking my wounded self to pseudo-consolation, that I die to a
role I was never meant to carry.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I truly believe that God is good, and that he wishes we would just
choose to dwell with him. To be right with him. I believe he wishes that
we would just choose to see clearly what he has made clear to see. That
he is God and we are not. But I also believe that his graceful nature
allows him to understand. It is a wonder he hasn’t given up on us. It is
a wonder he sees the struggles we’ve bound ourselves to, and uses them
for betterment. How gorgeous that he allows the struggles, or the
deceptions from Satan, and the adulterousness of our choosing them, to
again lead us back to him. What love. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>I’ve often wondered why God would even allow for Satan to rule the
Earth. Great, God rules heaven. Great, Satan rules hell. But why is the
land we are born on subject to both evil and good? As I’ve experienced
the sorrow of a chronically ill baby, as I’ve endured the breathlessness
of witnessing my dad dead on the bed in front of me at a tender nine
years old, as I’ve drown in the pit of my stomach walking into a room
where my (then) boyfriend and dear friend we’re having sex… as I myself, confusingly enough, have chosen to hurt people I love…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>the answer has been made more lucid.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>What I’ve come to thus far is this:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>It is the need that draws us in. It is the brokenness that sobers us up.<b> It is the horridness of the devil that will lead us to recognize the goodness of God.</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>But my LORD, pain is pain. And, in the moment, of course it’s not just a hypothetical tool for redemption. It is pain.
And it doesn’t feel right to grieve the loss of comfort, or to gasp in
the anguish of loss, or to grapple with the unresolved whys.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Some moments and some days, it is utterly and wholly crushing to breath.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>And some of the other days, it is absolutely and emphatically beautiful to be alive.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>But for those who may be in the midst of the struggle: It is your
struggle that will allow you to humble up (yes, even more) and meet
God’s powerfulness.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Because, struggle, for me, is where God has not yet been made King.
And struggle, for me, is the sign of an unresolved/unfinished life.
Struggle is symptomatic of need. And need hurts. And dear God, no one
wants to hurt forever.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>It is the unsatisfied struggler that will finally stop looking for
answers within, who will die to their own self-crowned-King, and call
for the true God, and in enough time, when his truth is revealed in way
that is finally understood, it is the struggle that will allow us to
know for ourselves what we would otherwise reject:</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>Only God is good.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<i>
</i>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i>(Praying for you who stumble here, that you would be bound up by his
grace over all things in your life. And that you would be made whole
this morning, even in the midst of your own powerlessness, as you begin
to recognize and gladly NEED more of his presence.)"</i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i> </i>The Lord spoke and she listened. I had to share this because I know so many of us need encouragement in times of struggle when we are in the midst of a horrific storm. I hope this message spoke to you. And a big thank you to Whitney for allowing me to share her message of encouragement today.</div>
