A post pregnancy question

This blog is for all you mommies out there... I have this question and I hope some of you will have some kind of an answer for me! I've heard things about wearing a corset after pregnancy. Or... some kind of a band that is similar to help your rib cage shrink back to it's normal size and also, help your tummy resume it's original size. I don't know of anyone personally who has worn anything like this so I'm really curious to know... did anyone wear something along these lines? If so... did it help? Was it worth it? Did anyone not wear anything like this and feel as though everything pretty much went back to normal regardless? Sometimes I feel kinda vain worrying about things like this... but what mom doesn't want to get back into shape after pregnancy?

A "Bachelorette shower"

What is a "bachelorette shower"? I don't know... I think our girlfriends made up that term. It's a mix between a bachelorette party and a bridal shower. We had one last Friday night for the soon to be bride Loraca. Ate yummy treats, played silly games, and opened lovely presents. Good times with great friends :)

Soooooooo HAPPY!!!!

I'm officially at the start of my 34th week now. Really happy to be here as always. All the progress we make is so great. We had our ultrasound today and I was given the best news ever!!!! "Baby A" finally turned and is now head first along with "Baby B!" Ahhhhh! Couldn't have been given better news than that! I have been really trying to prep myself for a c-section and just be accepting of it if that was how things turned out for me and the babes. After the good news today I feel such a sense of relief. And gratitude. And so many other feelings of happiness! Both babies are so so so good and healthy! Right now they currently weigh about 5 lbs each, give or take a little bit. Through ultrasounds it isn't possible to get an exact weight. Anyway... things are looking so good! I'm just so thankful that I have a healthy body and that through my life I've made wise decisions in taking care of myself. I really do feel like all my healthy decisions have helped in making this twin pregnancy quite simple so far! And I'm glad that through my pregnancy I have been aware and made wise decisions to take care of myself because it really does effect the babies! And they are so happy and healthy!! The ultrasound technician we had today we have had a few times before. Dave and I both really like her a lot. She is the nicest, sweetest lady ever. At the end of our ultrasound she told us that we need to tell everyone, even strangers, just how beautiful our babies already are!!! So I'm telling everyone... our babies are BEAUTIFUL!!!! And I'm so stinkin' happy! :) :) :)

A GOOD day!

It consists of these things...

Waking up at noon.
Having a nice morning with your husband.
Your sister in law coming over to visit with cute babies and always offering to get you a drink and snacks from the 7-11.
A surprise visit from your mom who takes you to Babies R' Us to get baby stuff! Most importantly... a belly support strap. (Amazing. Thanks mom!)
Lunch at Village Baker after you haven't eaten there for at least a year and a half! Mmmm...
Long drives through beautiful neighborhoods.
Noodles N' Company delivered by your mother in law.
Friends coming over to hang out with you for the night.

Needless to say... I'm quite happy right now. My belly is even more so happy... probably meaning these little babes in my belly have happy bellies :) We're all just a happy bunch!

32 weeks

So glad to say I'm here! What an important marker! Now... if I can just make it to 36 weeks that would be ideal! When I think about that, I think... only 4 more weeks?!? I know it could be longer than that. But only 4 more weeks at least?!? Insane. Time has been flying, even on bed rest. Looking to the future makes me so excited! Excited to finally meet these babes! Excited to bring them home. Excited to have my normal body back! Excited to be off bed rest! Kinda nervous too though... there's seriously nothing that can prepare a first time mom for everything!

We have a Doctor's appointment next week. I'll share all the good news when we get it! :)
