<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Just found this in my drafts! Super behind, obviously. Sorry boys, but you keep me busy!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I feel like there is so much to update on and I'm always worried I'll forget something, so I keep notes in my phone as they pop into my head. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>TRAVIS</b></span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Stats - </span></div>
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Teeth - Travis is currently cutting his top FOUR teeth. No wonder he was so whiny a few weeks ago! Now that they have broken through the surface, they don't seem to bother him as much other than some extra drool and wanting to gnaw on everything. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Words - Still just Dada. Mama is working hard to try to get you to say her name though. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Movement - Getting faster and faster at crawling. You love to pull up on everything, especially mommy and in your crib! Putting a diaper and clothes on you these days is the equivalent to wrestling a greased pig. You automatically want to flip over. I try to distract you with something, but it only lasts for a second. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Food - You are getting better and better at eating table food and have tried a lot of different things! The only thing you don't like so far is scrambled eggs. I think it's the texture. </span><br />
<br />
<div align="center">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>REID</b></span></div>
<div align="center">

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">Stats - </span></div>
<div align="left">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Teeth - Still just the bottom two, although you are wanting to chew on things more than normal so I'm expecting we'll see some top teeth soon. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Words - Nothing yet. You don't really babble much yet, but you do let out some pretty ear piercing squeals. Cute at home, not so much in public. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Movement - You started crawling about two weeks after your brother. We knew you wouldn't be far behind! You love to pull up on everything, especially mommy! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Food - You do really well at eating table food! We haven't found anything that you won't eat yet. That has pretty much been the norm since day 1. You love your food! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Nickname - A few months ago while you were staying at GrAnn and Grandaddy's house, Grandaddy nicknamed you "Reido Burrito" and it has stuck like glue! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Your personalities seemed to have pulled a switcheroo on us! Travis used to be the chill, observant one and now he wants to be the life of the party. Reid will just sit back and take it all in.</span><right> <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This picture is the perfect example. Travis will not sit still!</span> </right><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">8 MONTHS OLD | How can this be?? Two bottom teeth each. Travis started crawling a day before he turned 8 months. Reid loves to clap and wave. Travis babbles Da Da. Both LOVE pulling up and dislike diaper/pajama time after baths. Life with them sure is fun!</span></div>

Woo, long holiday weekends are exhausting with babies! Always on the go, basically living out of the diaper bag all weekend. We had originally planned on spending the weekend in Georgetown, SC for a fishing tournament (Cam would fish, the boys and I would hang out with the girls in the family) but due to the windy weather forecast, the boat decided not to go. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Since Cameron and I had already taken that Friday off from work, we decided to send the boys to daycare and spend the day, just the two of us (and Gus), on the boat! We cruised up to the Bohicket Marina, ate a yummy lunch at Lokal, and cruised back. While Cameron was cleaning the boat, I went and picked the boys up from daycare, and we hung out with my inlaws until dinner time.</span><right> </right><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saturday we packed up the truck (so.much.stuff.) and headed to the beach for the first time! I was kind of nervous about their first trip, as the unknown is the worst part! We tried to time it so that they would sleep on the 45 minute drive, and then be in good moods once we got to the beach. Check! They played in the water, tasted the first of many handfuls of sand, and even snoozed for about an hour in the stroller.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">On Sunday, we packed the truck back up and headed to Little Oak Island, which is right before Folly Beach. Our friend's parents have a house there and we just</span><right> </right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">hung out all day! The boys swang, played in the kiddie pool, took an hour long nap in unfamiliar territory (score!), and played with new toys. </span><br />

His parents were kind enough to invite my parents and sister over, and Cameron's Uncle Thom and Aunt Gretchen came over, also. We enjoyed a yummy dinner outside by the pool and lots of giggles! </span><br />

At their 6 month check up, Reid weighed 16lbs7oz and was 26" tall. Travis weighed 16lbs3oz and was 26" tall. The nurse had to measure twice because she couldn't believe they were the exact same height and so close in weight!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We started solids around 5.5 months..I was trying to wait until 6 months, but it just seemed so fun! Reid being Reid took to it really well, but Travis didn't want anything to do with it. I didn't force it with Travis, if he didn't want to eat it, I wouldn't make him. Eventually he came around once I started sending the solids to daycare with them. Now he can't get enough! So far they have tried oatmeal, bananas, sweet potatoes, carrots, peas, and pears. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They are thick into teething. Travis got both of his bottom teeth at the same time right before they turned six months! Reid is still gnawing on everything and it will be any day now before a tooth pops through. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Travis started rolling from back to stomach around 5.5 months and because of that, is now sleeping unswaddled and without his Dock a Tot! The first couple of nights without the Dock a Tot he would wake up randomly whining, but now sleeps the majority of the time on his stomach. Reid is super close to rolling from back to stomach, and I am not rushing him sleeping without his Dock a Tot. For some reason I don't think he'll adjust as well as Travis did. Hoping he surprises me though! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They're also sitting up on their own! I mean, I wouldn't plop them down and walk away by any means, but they can really sit up!! It is so dang cute! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
They LOVE bouncing and playing in their Exersaucers and love playing with things they're not supposed to play with, like my pump tubing. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I really love their personalities at this age and can only imagine how much more fun they will get! Travis LOVES Gus and his eyes light up when he comes in the room. Reid always wakes up with the biggest smile on his face and is the most talkative in the morning. </div>

Now that Travis and Reid are a week shy of turning 6 months, I figured I needed to go ahead and get this very postponed post up! :) </right><br />

<b>Stats</b> - No stats since we did not have any appointments other than sick visits...and I forgot to document their weights. :) <br />
<b><br /></b> <b>Eating - </b><right>Still the same schedule at the 4 month post. Bottles of breastmilk at 7am, 10:30am, 2pm, and 5pm. Formula bottle at 7pm. </right><br />
<right><br /></right> <b>Diapers</b><right> - Size 3. This past month was the first time I actually had to buy diapers thanks to all of our family and friends who hooked us up! </right><br />
<br />
<b>Clothes</b><right> - Wearing 6 months clothes! Can squeeze into a few 3-6 months, but probably not for much longer. </right><br />
<br />
<b>Health </b><right>- <b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b>After what seemed like a month of being sick, we finally cleared that hurdle. Knock on wood. Turned out to be croup for both. </right><br />
<right><br /></right> <b>Exciting moments</b><right> - Travis is suuuuuper close to rolling from back to belly. One little arm always gets in his way! They started at their new daycare April 3rd and we are all loving it so far! Everyone is so friendly and always tells Cameron and I how sweet they are. </right><br />

<br />
<b>Stats</b> - Reid weighs 14lbs (45th percentile) and is 24 3/4" tall (50th percentile). Travis weighs 13lbs 14oz (25th percentile) and is 25 1/2" tall (75th percentile..WHAT!). <br />
<br />
Dr. Smith saw some white bumps on their bottom gums which means we are officially teething. YIKES! <br />
<br />
Reid is definitely the chattier baby and loves the sound of his own voice, whether its babbling or screaming, but both can melt hearts with their smiles and giggles! <br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Eating - </b><right>We transitioned</right><right> to the next Moms On Call schedule once they started sleeping through the night, which increased their bottles to 6.5oz each time. Each bottle is of breastmilk, except for a formula bottle before bed due to not producing quite enough for that last bottle of the day. Eating at 7am, 10:30am, 2pm, 5pm, 8pm. </right><br />
<right><br /></right>
<right>I forgot to mention last month that I am no longer having to eat dairy and soy free. After three weeks of it and having Reid on dairy free formula, I started reintroducing my breastmilk back to him. I accidentally ate something with butter in it and didn't see any side effects in him. So I started eating a little more and a little more dairy. Still no side effects. So, I think maybe I jumped the gun and he was just going through a gassy, fussy period. So happy to be eating cheese, butter, and soy again! </right><br />
<right><br /></right>
<b>Diapers</b><right> - Right at the time that they turned 4 months old, they started wearing size 3 diapers. </right><br />
<br />
<b>Clothes</b><right> - Wearing clothes anywhere from size 3 months to 6 months.</right><br />
<br />
<b>First sicknesses</b><right> - <b></b><b></b><b></b><b></b>Travis got a 24 hr stomach bug and Reid got a cold that we're still dealing with a yucky cough from (going on 2 weeks)</right><br />
<right><br /></right>
<b>Exciting moments</b><right> - Travis rolled from stomach to back for the first time February 17th, but hasn't again since then. He's also pretty close to rolling from back to stomach. Reid seems to have no interest in either. </right><br />
<right><br /></right>
<right>Travis and Reid were baptized on February 19, 2017 at Westminster Presbyterian Church. Travis wore a bubble that Cameron's older brother, who Travis is named after, wore when he was baptized. Reid wore a gown that my granddaddy, sister, and I wore when we were all baptized. They behaved so well! When they were presented to the congregation, Reid even gave out a little giggle. Following the baptism, a beautiful reception was held at Cameron's parents house on Johns Island. It was a beautiful, sunny day! </right><br />

My babies are getting so big! Each month gets better and better and more fun! Less fussiness and more sweetness, thank goodness! More sleep, too! <br />
<br />
<b>Weight - </b>No official pediatrician appointment this month, but we took the boys in for a few minor things on January 21st (11 weeks old). Reid weighed 11lbs 6oz and Travis weight 11lbs 10oz. <br />
<br />
<b>Eating - </b>Around the 2.5 month mark, our breastfeeding journey came to an end. The mommy guilt kicks in from time to time, but then I remind myself that they are still getting breastmilk and we are all happier as a result of that decision. We were following the Moms on Call 4-8 week schedule, which is what the book suggests until they start sleeping through the night. So they were eating at 6 or 7am (whenever they woke up for the day), 9am, 12pm, 3pm, 5:30pm, and 8:30pm. If they woke up in the middle of the night, we'd try to shush them back to sleep, but if we couldn't, we'd feed them. On this schedule, they were getting 5-5.5oz bottles each feeding. <br />
<br />
<b>Sleeping - </b> January 31st was the first time they slept through the night, 2 days shy of turning 3 months. This was also the night before I went back to work! It's like they knew! They will wake up and squirm a little bit now, but put themselves back to sleep. They wake up for the day between 6:30-7. If they wake up at different times, I take advantage of the one on one time by holding them while feeding them a bottle, rather than putting them in their Rock n Plays and propping bottles in their mouths. <br />
<br />
<b>Milestones - </b>Smiling and cooing up a storm. Batting at the toys hanging from their play mat, bouncy seat, and car seat. Kicking like crazy, especially in the bath! Summertime at the pool is going to be so fun! Both really love holding their Oball. Can both hold theirs heads up and so close to not wobbling. They are the happiest in the bath and laying on their changing table! They also really like to stand in our laps!<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Like most girls who long for the day to become a mother, visions of what my baby's nursery would look like filled my head (and Pinterest boards). I always knew I didn't want it to look too "baby," if that makes any sense. Black and white always stuck out to me, too. Apparently, babies can only see in black and white during their first few weeks of life, mostly due to the high contrast of the colors. After deciding on the black and white, I knew I needed a pop of some color and I always came back to the picture of the dresser in </span><a href="http://paigejones.us/blog/5tyeg0z5621xcjcdzldjo04g3czmn9" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">this nursery</span></a><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Trying to find the perfect accent rug was quite the task, and it still isn't perfect, but this one is soft and I'm learning to deal with it. :) </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">We rearranged the nursery quite a few times, even after they were born, and think we finally found the perfect layout! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The framed photo to the left of the window is a poem that Cameron's father wrote when the original Travis Baker was born. Cameron's mom typed it and had it framed. How special!</span></div>

Another month under our belts! While it is definitely not easy (not sure it ever will be), we've all had less meltdowns than month one. That's gotta count for something! </right><br />
<right><br /></right>

<right>TRAVIS</right><br />
<div>
<right>-At their 2 month checkup, which they were 9 weeks at, Travis weighed</right> 10lbs6oz (25th percentile) and was 21 3/4 inches tall (12th percentile)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
-Travis smiled for the first time (non-gas related) on the morning of December 20th while I was talking to him! He smiled at my dad on Christmas Eve, which I'm pretty sure made my dad's life. </div>

<right>REID</right><right> </right><br />
<right>-</right>10lbs4oz (25th percentile) and was 21 1/2 inches tall (5th percentile)<br />
<br />
-I went dairy and soy free at the recommendation of their pediatrician due to Reid's really bad gas and uncomfortableness. No exercises, gas drops, etc seemed to help, so this was the next step. He is on Enfamil Nutrimigen (dairy free) formula while the dairy completely leaves my "system," which can take approximately 3 weeks. I chose to put him on formula during this time so that my milk would not cause him any further pain in the process. It has made such a difference! He still gets a fussy, like a normal baby would, but doesn't scream like he's in pain and he has had significantly less gas. <br />
<br />
-Reid smiled for the first time on Christmas evening despite being really fussy that day! Aunt Kara was the person who was holding him and got him to smile! <br />

<br />
BOTH<br />
-Wearing size 1 diapers<br />
<br />
-Somewhat in between sizes in pajamas (because that's pretty much all they wear at this point). Mostly wearing 0-3 months, but some NB still fit, depending on the brand. <br />
<br />
-Still wake up every 3-4 hours at night. Momma is still tired. <br />
<br />
-Although sleepy, morning is my favorite time of day with them! They are both so alert, smiley, and chatty when they wake up and it melts my heart. <br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So that this post doesn't get too lengthy, but still with enough detail that I can look back and remember these things, an update via bullet points:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At one month old, Travis surpassed his "older" brother in weight by a whole ounce! Travis weighed 7lbs5oz and Reid weighed 7lbs4oz. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia";">The easiest way for people to tell them apart is by looking at their hair and mouths. Reid's hair is lighter in color and his tongue is sticking out the majority of the time. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia";">They are still in newborn diapers, which we go through about 20 a day! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia";">They are also still in newborn clothes. And 99% of the time it's pajamas. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I have met with a lactation consultant (who I highly recommend if you are in the Charleston area! Shoot me an email if you want her contact information!!) twice now, which has been a lifesaver. We discovered that the boys were only getting an ounce of breastmilk from me per nursing session, when they needed atleast two ounces based on their weights. Therefore, I'm having to breastfeed them, then give them a bottle of an extra ounce and a half of milk, then pump so I have milk for the next nursing session. Atleast an hour to complete all three steps. Whew. (I switch back and forth between the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/My-Brest-Friend-Deluxe-Nursing/dp/B0032Z81M4" target="_blank">Brest Friend Twin Pillow</a> and the <a href="https://www.amazon.com/TWIN-PILLOW-Breastfeeding-Bottlefeeding-Support/dp/B007VEHBPU/ref=pd_lpo_75_tr_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=DQEX3RSKKPHWZQBKTAMQ" target="_blank">Twin Z Pillow</a> for any of you soon-to-be twin mommas out there. I like both for different reasons.) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">They eat every 3 hours during the day and every 3-4 hours at night. The pediatrician gave me the "ok" to let them wake me when they are hungry in the middle of the night, rather than me waking them up to eat. Yes, I feed them at the same time and yes, I wake the other one up to eat if he is sleeping. I get those two questions a lot. :) </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia";">Speaking of sleeping, for the first few weeks they slept in Dock a Tots inside bassinets next to our bed. Anyone who has a kid knows how noisy they are as infants when they are trying to go to sleep, so last week we decided to move them to their cribs (still in their Dock a Tots though) and keep an eye on them with a monitor. They've done really well with this and we're not waking to check on them with every little peep they make! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Their personalities are so similar to what they were like in my belly, it's crazy! Reid (Baby A) kicked constantly inside my belly, and outside my belly he is super feisty and does NOT like to wait a second too long to eat. He gets hangry just like his daddy. I could rarely feel Travis (Baby B) move in my belly, which sometimes worried me. Turns out, he is just a chill baby! Definitely think he's going to be the mama's boy, which I am totally ok with. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia";">Gus has surprised us and does really well around them! When it is just us at home he is calm(ish), but he does get super excited when people come to visit so we have to put him in the crate. We're working on trying to find time to give him attention and exercise, too! Gus loves to lay in their nursery at night between their cribs. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We have ventured out of the house quite a bit recently. Thanksgiving at Dee Dee and Grandy's (my parents), hung out at the James Island Yacht Club with friends, lunch at Mellow Mushroom just the four of us, a solo trip to the grocery store and TJMaxx/Marshall's, got their first picture with Santa, attended their first birthday party (Jack's 1st Birthday), and a lunch date with my sister and her friend Kaitlin, who had twin boys the day before ours were born! Kaitlin and I have been chatting since about the middle of our pregnancies and it has been so nice to ask each other questions and provide support for each other!</span><right> </right></li>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">-<a href="https://www.amazon.com/The-Ollie-World-Nature-Collection/dp/B01831ZNWW?th=1" target="_blank">The Ollie Swaddle</a> was given to me as a shower gift by my friend, Savannah. I had never heard of it before and thought to myself, "what could be so special about this swaddle?" Well, I'm here to tell you it's very special. It's made of polyester and spandex, which makes it super stretchy for that extra tight fit. It has an opening at the bottom, which makes nighttime diaper changes easy without unswaddling the babe. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia";">-The <a href="https://dockatot.com/" target="_blank">Dock a Tot</a> is a portable pod that can be used for multiple functions. It provides a snug environment that re-creates the womb. It's lightweight and easily portable whether it be from room to room, or to grandma and grandpa's house. It's also made out of lightweight air permeable fabric that facilitates for easy breathing if the nose/mouth gets a little too close to the sides. Although they don't really suggest using it for sleeping throughout the night, this is what we currently use it for. </span></div>

<div align="left" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia";">-The <a href="http://us.snuza.com/" target="_blank">Snuza Hero monitor</a> is one of the few reasons we are comfortable with the boys sleeping in the Dock a Tot. It is a portable breathing monitor that clips on to the babies diaper. If there is less than eight breaths per minute and/or no breathing after 15 seconds, the monitor vibrates in an effort to jar the baby and remind him to breathe. If no breathing is still detected after three efforts of vibrating, an audible alarm will sound notifying you. Luckily, we have not heard this scary alarm yet and hope to never hear it!</span></div>

Bet you didn't expect to see a post from me today, did you? Well, thanks to pregnancy insomnia, here I am writing a post at 3:30am. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm sure you've all heard of Beautycounter by now and you probably know atleast one person who is a consultant of the brand. Earlier in the year when we started our <a href="http://friedgreenpickles.blogspot.com/2016/07/twin-tuesday-journey-to-pregnancy.html" target="_blank">fertility treatments</a>, and after reading about how the majority of my beauty products had hormone disrupting ingredients in them (you can read more about that <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/our-story#ourmission" target="_blank">here</a>), I decided to start switching my products for better ones. Not all at once (because $$$$) and I'm not claiming that 100% of the products I use don't include atleast one of the "bad" ingredients, but I've made the switch to the majority of my products. I can tell a huge difference in my skin! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One of my oldest friends, Heidi, became a <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/heidioates" target="_blank">Beautycounter</a> consultant a few months ago and we finally got up with each other so she could drop off a basket of samples for me to try. I'm not going to act like Beautycounter products are inexpensive, because they're not. Not for my budget anyway. BUT the products last a long time, and it makes me feel better that I know I'm not putting harmful ingredients on my skin. Additionally, my face is really sensitive and will turn red if I use a product that it doesn't like. Beautycounter products are gentle enough that I don't have to worry about this problem. So when Heidi offered to let me try her products before purchasing them, I didn't hesitate. There's nothing I dislike more than buying a product, bringing it home to try it, and hating it. </span></right><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Prior to Heidi dropping off her beauty bin, I was already a huge fan of the Beautycounter <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/cosmetics/face/color-contour-matte-bronzer.html" target="_blank">bronzer</a>, <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/body-hair/hands/hand-cream-citrus-mimosa.html" target="_blank">hand cream in citrus mimosa</a>, the e<a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/body-hair/body-wash-scrubs/body-wash-citrus-mimosa.html" target="_blank">veryday body wash</a>, the enlightening treatment pads, and the <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/skin-care/cleansers-exfoliators/nourishing-cream-cleanser.html" target="_blank">nourishing cream cleanser</a>. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Following a few days with the basket and sampling the products, these 5 items are now on my wishlist:</span></right><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">[one] <a href="http://www.beautycounter.com/skin-care/oils/hydrating-face-oil.html" target="_blank">Hydrating Face Oil</a></span></right></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Having combination skin, more towards the oily side especially in the summer, the last thing that I thought I would like was this hydrating face oil. However, once I applied it and it quickly absorbed into my skin, I was amazed at how soft my face was. I'm sure I would love it even more in the winter!</span></right></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love putting on a mask on a Sunday night while I'm winding down watching tv, and this one did not disappoint. The charcoal mask draws out impurities in your skin and minimizes pores. Not to mention makes your skin super soft, and not dried out! </span></right></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Back to the oily skin in the summer, this matte finishing powder would do wonders setting my makeup and keeping it there all day long, as well as absorbing any extra shine and minimizing pores/fine lines. It doesn't leave a white residue or any evidence that you've got it on. </span></right></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I'm usually not a fan of lipstick because I feel like they dry out my lips, but these lip sheers are super moisturizing and stayed on my lips for hours! The twig color is the perfect barely there color. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A good foundation brush can make all of the difference when applying make up. It's one of those things that you think people are crazy for spending a lot of money on, but after you find a really good one, you understand. This brush creates an even, airbrushed look, and the retractable feature makes it easily portable. </span></right></div>

Not going to lie, I had a very busy day the day the pictures were scheduled and I started questioning if I should even still do them. Well, I am so glad I did! Who knows if this is going to be my only pregnancy? Aside from my Iphone pics, I wanted documentation of this wild ride and my ever expanding belly! </span></right><br />

<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Kelly of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/kellybconleyphotography/?fref=ts" target="_blank">Kelly Conley Photography</a> was so easy to work with and made me feel so relaxed. It was just like hanging out with an old friend! After discussing the style of pictures that I liked and the atmosphere I was interested in, we decided on Daniel Island. Which actually worked great because Cameron's office is on DI. </span></right><br />

<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">33 Week Update</span></right></div>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-I've started going to weekly appointments, and last week was my first NST (non-stress test). It took them forever to get Baby B to cooperate and find his heartbeat (I wasn't worried because I had just seen him on an ultrasound). </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-During the ultrasound, Baby A measured 4lbs5oz and Baby B measured 4lbs1oz. Can't believe I'm basically carrying around a full size baby at this point! Actually, I can. They are heavy! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-My csection is scheduled for November 11, if they don't come on their own before that! The 5 week count down is on!!! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-My hospital bag is packed and the car seats are installed. Talk about a surreal feeling looking in my rear view mirror and seeing two car seats! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-I'm waiting on the glider to come in before I share photos of the nursery and it's been 12 weeks since I ordered it, so hopefully it will be here soon! </span></right><br />

<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday morning, Cameron and I made the trip to Columbia for the South Carolina / ECU football game. Yes, you read that correctly. Cameron went to a USC football game. (For those that do not know, he is a Clemson grad and a die hard fan). The only way I got him to go to the game is because he put his foot in his own mouth by saying he'd only go to a USC game if he sat in a box. Well, my Uncle Jay has great connections and called Wednesday saying he got box seats! Cameron really had no choice at that point. :)</span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I will say though, I think he had a pretty good time. How could he not have? We had an awesome tailgate spot near nice, air conditioned, clean bathrooms (vs. nasty porta pottys), we rode up to our box with George Rogers (USC's Heisman award winner), saw Darius Rucker (sadly, didn't get to talk to him), and we sat in a box with our own bathroom (can you tell bathrooms are really important to me these days? haha), a catered meal, and all the booze one could drink! </span></right><br />

<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-I'm 30 weeks today!! And TOTALLY feeling it. As I type I'm sitting on my couch with a heating pad on my back and rib pain that I can't shake. HOWEVER, I'm willing to do whatever it takes so that these babies continue to grow and be healthy! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-At my 28 week ultrasound, both babies were head down. Baby A weighed 2lbs11oz and Baby B weighed 2lbs10oz. The doctors like to see them as close in weight as possible, so this was a great report! Also at 28 weeks, my belly measured 33 weeks! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Babies are still moving like crazy! I probably feel them more often than not. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-I packed the majority of my hospital bag over the weekend. You just never know when they will decide to show their sweet faces!</span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-Maternity pics were scheduled for yesterday evening, but got rained out. :( My makeup was looking really good, too! Will try again later this week. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-I found out last weekend that one of my pledge sisters in my sorority is due with twins in February! She doesn't know their genders yet, but already has two boys! Can't.even.imagine. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">-On Sunday we took Gus to a local waterpark that lets dogs come play at the end of the summer once the park is closed and before they drain all of the water. My mom also brought her dog, Buddy. They had an absolute blast! I'd guess their favorite part was the lazy river by the way they would run circles around it. </span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This past Sunday, my Aunt Cindy (also with the help of my mom and sister) threw me the sweetest, most thoughtful baby shower. It was obvious how much time she spent on it, and everywhere you looked there was another detail that had to be documented. The invite list consisted of women on my side of the family, as well as family friends. The boys got a ton of great stuff and are already very spoiled! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>

<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-I had my 26 week appointment this morning, which included the glucose test. The process itself was not bad at all, but waiting to hear the results is! The doctor did a quick ultrasound and the babies are no longer positioned "bunk bed style," but both head down. Of course, they still have plenty of time to move, but it was pretty encouraging! She also measured my stomach and said that if I were pregnant with one baby I'd be measuring at 31 weeks! I certainly feel like I'm already 31 weeks. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-Speaking of feeling like I'm 31 weeks, I've been to the chiropractor three times now without any relief. Even the chiropractor is surprised that I'm not feeling better yet. I bought one of those support belly bands, so I'm hoping that will help, too! </span></right><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">-At my 24 week appointment two weeks ago, Baby A measured 1lb 10oz and Baby B measured 11b 8oz. By my next appointment they should definitely be over 2 lbs each! </span><br />

I've washed all of the clothes and blankets we've been given in yummy smelling Dreft, and have hung up all of their "nice" clothes in the closet. I'm hoping to get the dresser, that originally lived in the guest room, painted on Sunday. With all of the unknowns that come with having twins, I want to get as much done as soon as possible! </span></li>

I went to the doctor last week for a urine sample to rule out a UTI or kidney infection and everything came back normal. It really only bothers me when I'm driving or sitting at my computer. Any advice??</span></li>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And just like that, it's been one year since we had to unexpectedly say goodbye to our sweet Brady. Each day continues to get easier (aka can say his name out loud without tearing up or crying), until now when all of the memories of that day came flooding back as I went to write this blog post. I thought I'd have more to say, but there are just no words to express how much I miss him. So I'll leave you with some of my favorite pictures/memories. </span></div>

The truth is, infertility (defined as the inability to conceive after one year of unprotected sex, six months if the woman is over the age of 35, or the inability to carry a pregnancy to live birth) is much more common than you would think! One in eight women experience it and I don't think anyone should be ashamed to talk about it! This is also a way for me to remember all of the details about our journey years from now. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">So here's our story...</span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It started on Christmas night 2014. Once our heads finally hit our pillows after a day of driving back and forth to spend time with our families, we started to say goodnight. It was at that time that Cameron told me that he was ready to start a family. He could not have given me a more special Christmas present! We daydreamed about what our family would be like and decided to keep this special secret to ourselves. I kissed him goodnight and turned over to go to sleep. But not before Googling something like "Ready to start a family. What to do now??" </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I had my regular OBGYN appointment in January and my doctor knew that we had been married for almost two years at this point. Of course she asked THE question (Are you thinking of starting a family?" I immediately said yes and she suggested that I start taking prenatal vitamins right away, stop taking my birth control, and said it would be a good idea to go ahead and get my genetic screening test taken care of. This test is performed with a simple blood draw and tells you whether you are a carrier for a genetic condition or disorder and your chances of passing it along to your future children. Cameron was also tested at a later date and even though we were both carriers for some serious conditions, those conditions were not matches. If we were both carriers for the same conditions, there would have been a 1 in 4 chance it would be passed along to our children. Genetic testing could take up a whole post on it's own, so if you'd like to read more, check it out on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_testing" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> or <a href="https://www.counsyl.com/" target="_blank">Counsyl</a>, the company who performed our testing. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">After around 7 or 8 months of no luck getting pregnant, I began talking to my OB about preliminary options and she suggested I get a prescription for Clomid. I started with 50 mg for the first month, 100 mg the second month, and 150 mg the third month. All three months resulted in Aunt Flo. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Right around the year mark of trying to get pregnant with no success, my OB suggested I speak to a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE for short). I scheduled an appointment at Coastal Fertility and we had our first meeting with Dr. Slowey on December 2, 2015. He reviewed my chart from my OB, including our genetic testing results, and discussed our options. He talked in detail about IUI vs. IVF. After some preliminary tests, for both myself and Cameron, we met again to discuss the results. All of our tests came back "normal" and therefore we were diagnosed with "unexplained infertility." </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Due to all of the information we found out, we decided to move forward with IUI. To learn exactly what IUI is, go <a href="http://americanpregnancy.org/infertility/intrauterine-insemination/" target="_blank">here</a>. I then had to wait for my next menstrual cycle to begin the meds. On January 21, 2016 I started taking Letrozole (also known as Femara) for three days. On the second day, I also began giving myself 33mg of Follistim injections (also known as Gonal-F). I gave these injections to myself in the stomach for 5 nights. The first time was really scary, but once I finally did it, it was no biggie at all! The needle is SO small and you can barely feel it. On day four of giving myself the shots, I went in for an ultrasound to monitor how my ovaries were reacting to the medicine. Success! I had two eggs starting to form from my right fallopian tube (14mm and 11mm in size) and two eggs starting to form from my left fallopian tube (13mm and 11mm in size). I continued my meds and went back two days later for another ultrasound. My uterine lining was 10mm (they want this to be nice and thick) and my eggs had grown to 16mm and 17mm (right side) and 18mm and 14mm. I believe they are considered mature when they are between 16-20mm. We waited two more days for the eggs to grow just a little more and then that night, I gave myself the "trigger shot" of HCG. The IUI procedure was scheduled for Sunday, January 31 at 9am. They time the procedure for a specific amount of time after the trigger shot to make sure you are most fertile. The procedure itself took about 5 minutes and was not painful at all. And now we wait the dreaded two week wait. I tried not to get my hopes up because the chances of success after the first round are pretty slim. On Valentine's Day of all days, I found out that it didn't work. I called the doctor's office Monday morning to get the process started over again..</span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Baseline ultrasound on February 19, which is when I also started taking the Letrozole again. Shots began February 23. Ultrasound on February 26 to make sure meds were working. Right fallopian tube had two eggs measuring 15mm and 11mm and left had three measuring at 11mm, 12mm, and 13mm. Follow up ultrasound on February 28. One right side egg grew to 17mm and one decreased to 9mm. Left side now had four eggs measuring 14mm, 12mm, 11mm and 10mm. I was somewhat disappointed that they weren't as big as they were last time (but obviously looking back now it didn't matter!). Trigger shot the night of February 29 and our second IUI was scheduled for the morning of March 2. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.02px;">I was supposed to wait until Wednesday, March 16 to take a pregnancy test, because it's possible that the HCG medicine could have still been in my system and given me a false positive, but I am the most impatient person ever and decided to test on Friday, the 11. I saw the slightest line and only let myself get a little excited. Didn't want to get my hopes up just to be let down again. Then, the next two days I took a test in the morning and at night. The lines were still there! On the third day I took a digital test that would either say "pregnant" or "not pregnant," and it said PREGNANT! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.02px;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.02px;">I called my nurse on Monday, March 14 and said "I know I wasn't supposed to test yet, but I did and it was positive!" She scheduled me to come in on Wednesday, March 16 to have my blood drawn to confirm the pregnancy. My first beta number came back at 565 and when I went back two days later, it was 1400 (they want your first beta number to atleast double when you come back two days later). I couldn't believe I was actually pregnant! My first pregnancy ultrasound was March 25, which is when we found out that there was not only one baby, but two! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.02px;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; line-height: 20.02px;">Kudos to you if you made it this far! </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">While our journey was not as quick and easy as others, I'm <i>very </i>grateful that we were successful with our second IUI procedure. So many more women have to go through <b>so </b>much more to get pregnant. </span></right><br />
<right><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></right>

Each doctor, nurse, and staff member made us feel so comfortable and really cared about our success in having a baby (or two!). </span><br />

Good for those people who don't have Nordstrom cards, but there don't seem to be too many Early Access maternity items. #discrimination </span></right><br />

<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">We returned home yesterday around 3pm from a wonderful babymoon in Amelia Island, Florida!

After walking around, we ordered some drinks (mocktail, please!) and took a dip in the adults only serenity pool. This is where we spent the majority of our trip. That night, we took the quick 20 minute drive into downtown Fernandina Beach for dinner. I was really craving Mexican so we ate at Pepper's Mexican Grill and Cantina. After dinner we walked around the downtown area, which was filled with cute shops, other restaurants and bars, art galleries, etc. It was a really cute area! </span></right></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Saturday morning we grabbed a quick breakfast and I relaxed in the room while Cameron went to the gym. Afterwards, we headed to the pool. I'm convinced that we went on our babymoon on what will be sure to be one of the hottest weekends of the year! We were constantly going back and forth from our lounge chairs to the pool. Not even an Oreo milkshake could cool me down! At the pool I read Jenny McCarthy's book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Belly-Laughs-10th-anniversary-Childbirth/dp/0738217670/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468330756&sr=8-1&keywords=belly+laughs+by+jenny+mccarthy" target="_blank">Belly Laughs</a>. It was an easy read, as the chapters were short, and her sense of humor kept me entertained. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">For lunch we ate at the oceanside restaurant rightfully named, Oceanside. I loved the decor in here - classic, not cheesy, beach decor. Actually, all of the hotel was very well decorated. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Back to the pool for a few hours then to the room for a sun-drained nap before dinner. When we got back to our room, we were surprised with some chocolate covered strawberries and sparking cider from our sweet friends, The Reynolds! They were consumed immediately. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Dinner Saturday night was probably both of our favorite meals. We ate at the resort's steakhouse named Bob's. We started with shrimp cocktail and a Caesar salad, then Cameron ordered a filet (jealous!) as his entree and I ordered crab cakes. My crab cakes were delicious, don't get me wrong, but I am a steak girl so I had major food envy over Cameron's meal. (For those that don't know, it's not advised for pregnant women to consume undercooked meat. I like my steaks medium/medium rare and there was no way I was going to order a medium well/well done steak at this place!) I also had the best mocktail of the weekend at this restaurant - basically a cucumber martini without the alcohol. Need to recreate ASAP!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After dinner we lounged outside while Cameron smoked a cigar (don't worry, I made sure the smoke did not come my way). </span><br />

<right><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sunday I woke up early and headed to the spa for a prenatal massage! It was everything I had hoped for and more. After that, we went back to the pool for our usual routine. Luckily since I had woken up so early, I was able to snag two chairs under an umbrella that saved us from the beating sun. For lunch we ate at the resort's deli, named Marche Burette. I had a french dip (which I will always order if it's on the menu) and Cameron ordered a smoked salmon BLT (I'm starting to see a trend of him ordering all of the things that I can't eat...).</span></right></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">That night we ate at another resort restaurant, named the Verandah. I don't know if we were super full from the weekend or our eyes were bigger than our stomachs, but we ordered way too much food and couldn't eat it all. All very tasty though! We started with fried green tomatoes, split a wedge salad, then I ordered the fried oyster appetizer as my entree with a side of grits, and Cameron ordered the crab encrusted grouper. To say we were stuffed is an understatement. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">After dinner, we hit up the resort's putt putt course. Cameron and I are both very competitive so the stakes were high. I had him worried at first, as it was pretty much tied the whole game, but then towards the end I messed up and he ended winning by 2 or 3 strokes. Oh well, there was lots of laughter and it was the perfect way to end our Babymoon! </span></div>
