T-minus 2 weeks

35 Weeks!!!

Two weeks til these babes arrive!!

Holy moly, I never thought I would get to say that I'm 35 weeks pregnant with twins!!  Boy have these last few weeks flown by.  I stopped working at 32 weeks out of the sheer fact I was having such a hard time managing my responsibilities at home.  I still coached soccer for two hours after work and that took every bit of my leftover energy.  Not working has given me the ability to truly take care of myself and these babies that are very needy of all my energy.  

       We had an ultrasound last week at 34 weeks and Baby Girl was weighing in at 4 lbs. 4 oz, Baby Boy was weighing in at 4 lbs. 14 oz.  Needless to say I'm in trouble because it looks as if he's taking after Tim already in the eating department.  The ultrasound also revealed that both babies are breech and aren't looking to change positions anytime soon.  So under the knife I will go to have both of these little darlings.  If I don't go into labor before June 7th, they will be born on June 7th.  I'm praying for them to go that long so they are big and strong.  Even if I can only sit in a lounge chair these last few weeks I will manage as long as they are healthy.

Twin Baby Bump

 I wanted to chronicle this pregnancy with pictures of my growing belly.  I've been taking pictures but I haven't posted anything yet.  So I'm going to put them all on here in chrono order and y'all can see how far I've come.  I don't know how much bigger I can get, I feel like I've run out of growing room.

 

 15 weeks, looks like I had too much dessert!

18 weeks, still not much of a bump

 19 weeks-I thought I was big in this picture!

 

22 weeks, they are growing for sure!!

The Weed's Are Growing!!

Our blog about adventures as a couple is soon to turn into a blog about adventures with twins!  On November 7th our lives were changed forever in the best way possible.  We found out we were expecting twins, sometime around the beginning of June. 



 

November 7th, 2012

The excitment continued when we found out we would be having a boy and a girl.  One kiddo each for Tim and I to spoil and get into trouble with. 

 

It's a boy!!

It's a girl!!!

 

Our little man at 26 weeks!! 

 

 

Happy Fall Y'all!

Where o' where have the Weed's been..needless to say it's been awhile since we've posted on this.  Summer was full of home improvements, less distance running and more mountain biking.  We did get out and enjoy some new trails and check out new places.  We're both gearing up for Pitchell this year and most recently finished the never ending Looking Glass Look Around.  This past Saturday we headed to the FAC to get on parts of the MST we haven't been on since we first moved here.  I was instantly reminded of how tough those first climbs are right from the FAC.  I'm hoping all the hill training and time on my feet will pay off come Oct. 13th when I tackle a distance I have yet to face.  Can't wait to catch up with the crew this weekend to enjoy the mountains and beautiful fall weather.

Spring is back...and so am I

It has been quite some time since my last blog post, since Mt Mitchell Challenge a month ago in fact. It is amazing how fast time can fly leaving you wondering where it has gone.  With a busy work schedule and plenty of other things in life keeping me busy blogging took a back seat for a bit. Thankfully running has stayed strong all year, an average of about 70+ miles a week. But with spring in the air, on the trees and all around I decided it was time to bust out the camera for yet another run. With limited time in between some weekend working and plenty of chores to last a lifetime, Linds and I made a trip to Sam’s Gap to visit the spectacular Big Bald. Although the weather was warm when we left we were welcomed with foggy, misty and windy cold on the top of Big Bald with no view. I soak in the memory of what the view was like last time and made a hasty decent as I had left my shirt in much warmer sunnier sections of the trail. All in all it was a great run and felt nice to get away from the home and the bondage of chores. Sunday we made a trip to Little Pisgah which is probably one of my favorite runs in the area. I love the views, the solitude and the absolutely amazing single track. We ran amongst the turkeys, turtles and lush greenery as we ascended the route straight up to Little Pisgah. Unlike Big Bald the day prior we were greeted with nothing but sunshine and clear views as far as the eyes could see. At last, the camera was filled with footage and my mind was in another place far from the grasp of the hustle and bustle below. As we soaked in the views and the spring weather I find myself thankful for much more than the escape from life’s daily grind. I got to spend an amazing weekend with a gorgeous amazing woman. We descended the mountain side by side and reveled in the beauty of the world around us I found myself forgetting the views as I couldn’t take my eyes of the gorgeous woman running next to me. Maybe I was just trying to keep up! Good news for me that view is around all the time. So down the mountain we went and back to the world as we know it. Spring, we welcome you and thank you for the welcoming weekend. Another run, another day and an awesome time in the sunshine!
