BOYS ARE HERE! Just a little late :)

WOW!

I haven't updated this blog in MONTHS!

Wonder why? Well the boys are here!!!! Here I was at 36 weeks getting my NST and 2 days later they made their entrance into the world!!!

Saturday morning- January 26th I woke up, had some toast and eggs and noticed something strange... I wasn't sure if it was a hormone fluid or what. I figured I'd call the doctor and ask what they thought. Based on what I saw on the net it was for sure labor about to happen.  I was due to go to the doc about 10am, but at this point it was 8- they said for me to come in right away.

In I went for more NST, Ultrasounds, and a full exam! All calm- the doctor then brought me into his office and said 'Okay today is the day.'  Take your time, drive over to the hospital and get prepped for your C section. Stop Eating, Stop Drinking.  We will meet you there in about an hour.

I got to the hospital and the nurses told me I was 5 cm dilated and now I could feel contractions. I was given pain meds as I had to wait on 2 emergency C sections- then it was my turn to go.

I'd say the worst part was getting the Spinal in my back. I mean how does one this big bend forward so they can get my numb with that needle?!?! haha!!!

Brett Ryan was born at 2:02PM and Brock Caden at 2:03- Brett 5lbs 15oz & Brock 6lbs 6 oz both 18.5 in!

Healing was quite a journey!!! The boys stayed in the NICU for a bit to learn how to eat and gain some weight.

Today they are home with me and 4 months old already! Can you believe how fast that went?!??!

I'll try to update more :)

In the meantime I'm working on my FITNESS! haha Must get my pre-baby body BACK!

Pregnancy Thoughts

As I'm nearing the home stretch of this pregnancy. I am watching my legs and ankles puff up.

A twin pregnancy is so different from a regular pregnancy.

I had plans to continue to workout and keep healthy through this experience and my body rejects a lot of healthier options.  So that has been really disappointing but here's the thing... I know how to fix ALL of this once these little guys are here safely and healthy!

You retain a TON of fluid as a twin pregnancy- I've asked about sodium and any other thoughts on why this is happening and the doc said- nope this is normal for multiples. You have 2 babies growing in there!!!

So coming from a past of losing a lot of weight and fighting really hard to get healthy- then fighting really hard to get pregnant... being here today is great!

It was number 1 priority to have a family after I got married. And life had it's own obstacles for me to overcome when it came to that.  Poor Hal- thought it'd be easy! haha.  Well and honestly so did I!

So I'm struggling to love this pregnant body of mine after all the work I've put into this body- but I know it's protecting the little boys and I know how to bring it back later :)

That being said to my readers who are struggling in this area- babies come first- do not stress about your situation as a pregnant lady. Exercise is great if you can do it. Which most can.

I am on rest, so it's very different! But otherwise walking and exercising is just fine!

Embrace this time because it wont last forever.

I'm even having maternity photos taken next weekend to look back on!

I am looking forward to the twins arrival and getting to know them :)

Just a little info I wanted to share as a fitness coach who fought her way to have a family and next up fight my way back to my healthy self :)

xoxo!
