Nate snuck this picture of us on Sunday evening be Nate snuck this picture of us on Sunday evening before the preterm labor madness began the very next night. I love it. All four of my boys in one photo.šŸ’™ 

I really thought that the next time I sat down on this couch I would be recovering from a c-section with my babies still at the hospital in the NICU. I’m so thankful to be able to let them grow and get stronger for a little while longer, however long that may be, and to be able to be at home for now.

I appreciate all of your prayers and sweet words of encouragement. šŸ’•
33 + 2 šŸ’™ Preterm labor with the twins. A lot of 33 + 2 šŸ’™ Preterm labor with the twins. A lot of scary stuff, a lot of pain, a lot of what the hell is going on. But we are hanging in there and I distracted myself by putting on some makeup today to feel a little more human. I haven’t even walked since late Monday night and I’m feelin’ all sorts of horrible. But our village has surrounded us in all the ways we’ve needed and I’m so thankful. šŸ’™ As usual, we are coping with humor so at least there’s laughter in this hospital room.
Feeling extra, extra thankful this year for what a Feeling extra, extra thankful this year for what a great Dad this man is to our boys! He is definitely the fun parent! The one who plays the most, the one who books the trips where we make all of the memories, the one who makes time for them even when he’s exhausted and running on no sleep. And on top of it all, he’s been taking care of me and doing my share of the parenting when he can. I can’t wait to see him with all four of our boys, so soon! šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™
I’m sorry, CAN YOU EVEN? šŸ˜ Look at those chee I’m sorry, CAN YOU EVEN? šŸ˜ Look at those cheeks and lips! All together, I am carrying around 9 lbs 10 oz of baby right now, friends. They are almost identical in size, both have tons of hair, are moving like crazy, and baby A is still breech. So send thoughts and prayers that he will flip back to being head down! 32 weeks feels so close to the end and yet so far. #32weekspregnant #pregnantwithtwins #twinpregnancy
Feeling so thankful today for 12 years of marriage Feeling so thankful today for 12 years of marriage to my soulmate. I wouldn’t want to live this life alongside anyone else. It doesn’t mean it’s always easy, but it *is* easy to focus on all of the good parts with you. šŸ’•šŸ’ I love you, Nate!!
All of the cuddles for this tired mama. 🄰 I’l All of the cuddles for this tired mama. 🄰 I’ll never know how I got this lucky.  It’s pretty surreal to be cuddling one sweet boy and watching my other little one play, all while getting served kicks and punches by two more! ✨
Happy June 1st! ✨ I was looking through old phot Happy June 1st! ✨ I was looking through old photos and came across this one. It was my birthday. I was 4 months postpartum and starting to feel like myself again. We were getting ready to move into our beautiful new home. 

The person in this photo could’ve never imagined the pandemic ahead, the stress of Landon starting kindergarten virtually, trying to keep it together/focus on work, Nate’s stressful job and paramedic class, family illness, etc etc. 

I was pretty sure we were done having babies. I never imagined the whirlwind of finding out we were expecting.. and then experiencing that loss… only to find out our rainbow BABIES (x2) are on the way. And now, it’s *almost* time to meet them! 

It feels like such a transition period right now. There’s so much to look forward to but there are also just so many things going on that feel heavy and difficult. The world is full of chaos and it feels harder and harder to protect my children in it. I’m tired and anxious. My patience is thin. I don’t always feel like a ā€œfun momā€ (or wife) right now. But I’m also just so thankful to be here - married to a wonderful man, building this crazy life together, trying my best to do it all with a happy heart at 30 weeks pregnant. šŸ˜…

I’m so ready to snuggle my twin babies and see them together with their brothers, to get into a routine, to lay on a blanket in the backyard with all of them during a cookout with friends, to start having date nights again with Nate, to go on walks downtown again… to feel like myself again.. just like we did on this day. šŸ’“
Last day as a First Grader!!! 🄳 So proud of my Last day as a First Grader!!! 🄳 So proud of my smart, resilient, and kind little boy. Looking forward to a summer of fun with my boys!
Sometimes you just have to laugh through the stuff Sometimes you just have to laugh through the stuff that feels difficult in the moment. Like trying to get your feet up high enough on pillows so they’ll stop swelling (because you’ve been sitting at a computer all day) while simultaneously realizing you’re now stuck on your back like a turtle. When I opened my camera and saw looking this looking back at me I literally LOL’d at the sight. #pregnantwithtwins #iamletired
