HG is such a roller coaster. Today I am back on the couch. My own saliva is making me feel ill, which is wearing me out fast. . . I don’t know any other two year olds that understand how to push saline, or that my line needs to be clamped and unclamped. They adapt to “Mama couch days” almost seamlessly. . . I could focus on my current agony, or I can fix my eyes on the future. Two toddlers with the most caring hearts ever, and one beautiful baby girl. 11 more weeks... . . . . #hyperemesisgravidarum #hyperemesis #highriskpregnancy #chronicillness #twinmom #twinmomlife #twingirls #fraternaltwins #ivftwins #pregnancyafterinfertility #28weekspregnant #3under3 #thegracehaven

Every weekend my husband is super intentional about carving out alone time with the twins. Their current favorites are walks and playing with goats 🐐 As they (and our daughter on the way) get older, he plans on taking them on individual dates every month. . .
