Through my research, I found that a woman who is pregnant with twins will have a belly that is approximately 20% larger than a woman who is pregnant with a singleton. It’s true that a woman pregnant with twins will become tired quicker than a woman pregnant with a singleton. Not all twin pregnancies end in bedrest or hospitalization, but due to the above complications, it is more likely that a twin mother will require hospitalization or bedrest than a singleton mother. With a larger belly, getting comfortable sleep may be difficult as a mom pregnant with twins.

It was a TOTAL sign for me because although I knew I wanted to try something natural for the pain and inflammation, I was having a hard time trying to narrow down what company I was going to go with because there are so many options out there! Those include: CBD Living Water, CBD Living Sparkling Water, CBD Living Freeze and CBD Living Vegan Gummies! I decided to go with the CBD Living freeze, The CBD Living Gel Caps and Gummies and the CBD Living Immune Boost. CBD Living Immune Boost has a 100% organic US-grown Broad Spectrum CBD, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, Beta-glucans, Zinc and other key nutrients to give the immune system a helping hand.

Due to this, it is only possible for identical twins to be boy/boy or girl/girl, and not boy/girl. Because fraternal twins begin as two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm, it is possible for fraternal twins to be boy/girl, girl/girl, or boy/boy. Since the possibility of having twins depends on the hyperovulation (for fraternal) or random splitting (for identical), the man’s genetics play no part in the likelihood his female partner will give birth to twins. Every woman has a chance of having both identical and fraternal twins, but some women have a higher chance than others.

I am SO EXCITED to share with you some amazing small business finds I came across this holiday season. As much as I love ordering from amazon and well known brands, there is nothing like supporting small business owners ESPECIALLY in the year 2020. Jordyn was amazing enough to provide me with an entire outfit for our photoshoot as well as an adorable bibdana for Parker to match me! Gabrielle created her business a little over a year ago with the intent to make fashionable/creative tumblers for people to use.

There are a million things on our to-do list, with endless events or deadlines in our planner, and it feels like there’s simply not enough time in the day to do anything for ourselves, right? Believe me when I say that after my twins were born, the last things on my mind were frivolous self-care tasks like getting my nails and toes done, going on a girls’ trip, or just taking a long bubble bath. This Year Take that 5 minute break for yourself this time, and choose one of these 5 minute self-care ideas. Self-care is not just a grand idea for you to plan on enjoying next Friday, Self-care can and should be practiced daily, through small tasks to get you re-centered, refreshed, and relieved of some stress.

I have asked dozens of people what their families do to celebrate the holidays, and what is something odd, funny or memorable that makes their family’s holidays unique. When the time comes for the children to move out, they will be able to take theirs with them so they have a start on ornaments for their own tree, and nice memories to look back on! You can use different themes or categories each year; worst gingerbread person, best gingerbread person, most creative gingerbread person, “looks most like a family member”, etc. To help the holidays from being too much about gifts and money, give everyone in the family something they have wanted, something you think they need, something to wear (like clothing, pajamas, shoes, hat, etc), and something to read.

Perfect for the active and outdoorsy toddler, this set comes with a pop-up tent, play food and camping tools/accessories. I have been looking for a set of counting and sorting bears for my twin toddlers for a while, and stumbled across this set. Find this set on Amazon here: 64 Pieces of chalk may seem like a lot, but my girls always throw, drop, break, or use up all of our chalk. Find it on Amazon: With bright colors and fun shapes, these puzzles are sure to be a great gift for your toddler.

Chances are good that you are now done with things like bottles and formula, but now may have things like training underwear (and extra EXTRA pants) to worry about toting around. If you are still in the early stages of potty training, you should plan to bring at least 2 pairs of underwear or training pants per toddler for each hour you plan to be gone. For the early-toddler age before potty training, a changing mat or small blanket may be a good item to have in the instance you are caught without a changing table available. The extra pants are most helpful while potty training, but it doesn’t hurt to have them for early-toddler blowouts.

Between giving birth during a pandemic, working from home, and now navigating motherhood I really feel like my own endeavors have taken a back seat in my life. Getting ready to vlog, or Facebook LIVE, or edit a YouTube video isn’t always the easiest to do during my day to day. I still wanted an opportunity to show up for my community, inspire you guys, and still be able to do the most important job in my life I have uploaded 2 episodes and intend on uploading new episodes weekly for you guys!
