whirlwind

these last 9 1/2 months have flew by. ill admit those first 6-8 weeks did not fly by. everyday i as myself "how in the heck are they so big?" henry and campbell are literally growing everyday! just yesterday campbell pulled herself onto her knees. i was like "woah, sis!". i sort of love this stage right now. they can hold their own bottles, feed themselves {for the most part}, and play together! sure makes things easier for me. 

lately i have been thinking about the first few weeks of our life with twins. it was a blur. i honestly can't remember much. sleep deprivation....nuff said. i do remember how i loved that we were a family of four. 

right now at this current stage going places is becoming more of a challenge. they are becoming more active and opinionated {which i can only imagine will get worse!} we have been trying to do some things now though. when they were tiny we didnt leave the house for months! haha. im slowly learning to let things go and to remember things cant go the way i want them to at all times. 

i love those twinsies. i cant remember life without them, and i may have started planning their 1st birthday! 

before we know it, its going to be january. ahh! tonight we are going to the special care nursery {nicu} reuion at lds hospital. hopefully we will see some of campbell's nurses. we are so grateful for them and all the did for her, and our family! 

five things on thursday

1. today, i am 28 weeks pregnant. holy moly, is right. i am starting to be very uncomfortable at times because they move so dang much. which is not a bad thing, trust me. i love it more than anything. on instagram i posted 2 videos of baby girl kicking and moving i have yet to get baby boy on video. it's so crazy to me that we can see them move now. feels like little aliens in my belly {not like, i know what that feels like. haha} i am feeling pretty grateful we have kept them in 3 weeks longer. let's pray they stay in another a few weeks! 

2. bed rest is starting to make me go crazy. i thought oh yeah, being in bed is going to be amazing. um, not. it's so hard to not want to do things around the house but, i literally can't. i know my limits now and it's hard to stick to them. i am not trying to complain, trust me. some days i am totally fine with this bed rest thing and others im not. i think anyone would agree. i know it's the best for the babies. now, i need to decide if going to catching fire this weekend is a good idea or not. i just don't know, it's not part of bed rest but, i would just be sitting in a theater right? not like im shopping at target {which i miss}. who knows what i will decide. probably wont' go but, who knows! 

3. can we talk about how fast november is going? thanksgiving is next week. then comes christmas! it's so crazy to me how fast the holidays go. this year i am itching to put up our tree. like, so bad. since dan is going to have to do the decorating {while i direct} we are waiting til after thanksgiving because, he's boring like that. haha just kidding babes! speaking of thanksgiving, i feel sad for it. it often gets overlooked by christmas. i am guilty of this. i did just say i wanted to decorate. haha. i do love thanksgiving!! 

4.  i won a giveaway from bonlook a few weeks ago and on monday i went to order my new glasses {i chose these ones}. well long story short, their site was having issues and not letting my payment go through. i had to pay $30..00 for my lenses because my prescription is so high. after several emails back and forth and a phone call. they couldn't find my payment. my bank had said it went through. so, bonlook is amazing and feels so bad for this headache of a problem that they are sending me the glasses for free! right?? so amazing. i am grateful for companies that have great customer service. i would have had no problem paying the $30.00 but, man it feels like good to know there is some nice people out there! {these are my own words, i am in no way getting anything for talking about their company. just wanted to share this story!}

5. during my days i have a lot time to think. this week i have been thinking about how blessed we really are. yeah, bed rest isn't ideal and i would rather be back to my old preggers self but, when i think about it. i am so thankful i am pregnant and soo thankful the babies are okay. i am extremely grateful for our doctor and her amazing care. she really is the best. i have a post planned on thanksgiving with other things i am grateful for but, i just wanted to share this now!
