Hi – I miss you guys! Just a quick update…
The above photo was from last week. So, I’m officially 32 weeks along and still feeling pretty good. Fortunately, I’ve been able to remain active throughout my pregnancy with no complications. Summer and I walk almost everyday, and we’re loving the pool!
I’ve even been cooking more…
Tonight we dined on Ashley’s Quinoa Broccoli Casserole, and it was wonderful. Thanks for another great recipe Ashley.
And thanks to everyone who has checked in with me and for your thoughts and prayers. According to our ultrasound yesterday, the twins are growing right on schedule, and my doctor thinks the babies will arrive in another three to four weeks. We can’t wait to meet them!
Hope you all are well. Enjoy the holiday weekend!

Glad to hear you’re doing well! I hope you update us when the twins are born!
Thanks Chelsey, and yes, I will definitely let you guys know when the babies arrive. Hope all is well with you.
so happy to hear all is well. you look absolutely amazing! good luck in the coming weeks
Thanks Alli!
Love an update from you, Heather! I’m so glad that everything is going smoothly and that you’ve been able to remain active – that’s so awesome. Summer could not be sweeter, and I can’t wait to see pictures of your two new bundles of joy in just a few short weeks!
Thanks Jenn, I can’t wait to see those babies either!
Oh my gosh! I was just at your website looking for your gluten/dairy free tuna casserole recipe (which by the way was awesome!) and I was wondering how you were doing! You look amazing and so healthy
Praying all goes well and can’t wait to see pictures of the twins 
Thanks so much Colleen and happy to hear you’re enjoying the tuna noodle casserole. It’s been way too long since I’ve made that one – would be a good one to make ahead and freeze for when the twins arrive!
oh heather i didn’t know you were expecting again.
congrats to you.
that is just wonderful news.
you are such a good mommy.
enjoy the time off…..
Vanilla,
Thanks so much. Hope all is well with you…and so wished you lived close by! All of your recipes have been so tempting throughout this pregnancy.
It was so nice to see you pop up on my newsfeed! Glad to see all is well and I look forward to seeing pictures of the little ones upon arrival
Thanks so much Irina.
Thanks for the update, and so happy to hear you’re doing so well
Thanks Katie!
So so so good to get an update
take care!!!!
Thanks Carolyn.
Yay I’m glad to hear you’re well
Thanks Joy.
You look amazing! I am glad you are staying active. I am too, but man, being on my feet is getting harder and harder (I’m at 34 weeks). I’ve been doing less walking and more swimming for sure.
I have a good friend from college who is 31 weeks with twin boys, and she’s probably going to go in the next few weeks too. She’s on bed rest. I’m betting you both deliver before me. My 6 yo was 2 weeks early, but I’m hoping to go closer to full term this time.
Marcia,
Ahhhh, you’re almost there, and yes, doesn’t the pool feel great! We went swimming yesterday, and I have no trouble floating these days.
Hope that all of our little ones stay in a few more weeks. Here’s to some big healthy babies!
you’re absolutely glowing! i’m so happy that you and your family are doing well!
Thanks so much Teabagginit. Hope all is well with you too.
Thanks for the update! I am so glad you pregnancy has been going well!
It is great you are able to enjoy this time with Summer actively before the twins come.
Take care of you, and your family! Thanks for sharing how you are doing with your online blog family! I come back and check to see if there has been an update often, well and to get a recipe or three from your archives! <3 Hugs!
Thanks Nikki and thanks for checking in every so often. Happy to hear you’re enjoying some of my recipes – we’ve been enjoying some new ones ourselves, and I need to update my recipe page soon. Take care, and I’ll be sure to let you guys know when the twins arrive.
Thank you for the update Heather! Can’t wait to meet the twins!
Enjoy your holiday weekend!!
Thanks Heather. We’re quite excited to meet them ourselves!
Could you BE any more adorable?? So wonderful to hear this update. I kind of bounced with excitement when I saw the entry in my google reader!!

I’m so glad you’ve checked in! You’re looking incredible. I hope the rest of your pregnancy and delivery goes smoothly.
Thanks Ellen – me too.
Aw, Heather you are glowing! So glad to hear you are doing well. Coincidentally, I was poking through your archives just earlier today and wondering how you were
Are you still instagramming? I saw that you’d changed your pics to private and didn’t want to be too much of a stalker!
Jennie,
Thanks so much and yep, still instagramming. I sent you an email about it.
I was so happy to see this update! You look beautiful as usual and I am so glad to hear that everything is on track. Cool photo effects too, btw
Love you Heabie! Love, Lara, Matt, and “America” 
Lara,
Ha – Deb has turned me on to all of her iPhone photo apps – it’s a bit addictive! Love you too, and I hope you are feeling well. He’s going to be here soon, and I can’t wait to see pics of your little baby boy.
You are just too dang cute my friend.love you
Aww, thanks Donna G. Love and MISS you!
You are the cutest pregnant lady ever. I mean, you were always cute, but this puts you over the top. Love it!
Thanks Katie.
Heather!! HI!!!!!! I was actually thinking about you, so.very.much this past week. I didn’t want to bug you b/c I know when you’re on a break from blogging and growing two humans, you don’t need your email overflowing but I’ve had you on my mind all week. Thanks for the update and you look beyond awesome!!! Wow, can’t believe the show is almost over in 3-4 weeks…WOW!
Averie,
I think about you often too and have been wondering how you’re doing. Looks like your blog is keeping you super busy – yay, and good for you! I miss hearing from you though – please email me anytime!!
I’ve been thinking of you lately, darling! Have realised that my gallivanting around your country may well coincide with the brilliant expansion of your family, so I may have to hold back on my hyperactive need to commandeer you to myself
Anyway, we’ll see! Sending wonderful wishes to you for the final pre-meeting-the-baby weeks! xo
Thanks again for the well wishes Hannah, and I hope you had a wonderful birthday! We will meet someday.
Sounds like you’re doing so well, Heather – thanks for the update and all the best wishes for the next month or so
Thanks so much Georgia.
So happy to see that things are going well, Heather! Thanks for the update– feel free to keep ‘em coming
Thanks Brittany, and I promise another update when the twins arrive.
I hoped you’d be back! You look great, obviously. I’m so glad you and Summer are still going outside and such.
I actually just bookmarked that quinoa and broccoli dinner in hopes of getting over my dear of quinoa’s texture!
It is hard to believe the twins will be here soon- I remember when you were just waiting for Summer!
Thanks so much Hannah, and I hope you try the recipe. I’m sure it would work great with any other grain like rice or maybe millet. It was so good!
such a nice saturday morning surprise to see you in my reader. miss your posts but so happy to hear that you’re enjoying time with summer and that you’re doing well with the twins. sending you lots of love!
Aww, thanks Jen. That made me smile and thanks for all the love as well. Much appreciated!
I keep thinking of you and wondering how you are! So very glad to hear you’re well (and the twins too)! All the best for these next few weeks- I hope it’s smooth sailing! Sending my well wishes to you and Chris as you get closer to the beginning of another big adventure.
Thank you Rachel.
So glad I kept your blog on my reading list. Thanks for the check in! You look amazing for 31 weeks. Congrats!
Cecilia,
Me too! Thanks for sticking around.
So happy to hear you are well! Glad the whole family is well! You look so great! I can not believe you have two babies in that belly!!
Happy weekend! <3
Thanks Katie, and trust me, they’re are definitely two in there…they are kickers!
Heather, you look great and I am so glad you are feeling good!! Think of you often and praying an easy and safe delivery:)
Thanks so much Kimberly. Hope all is well you!
So glad to hear things are going well! You look great! Not much longer!
Thanks Julie, and yep, not much longer. I can’t believe the twins will be here so soon!
Hi Heather,
I was just thinking of you on my walk today and wondering how you were doing, so when I saw your post I just had to check in! Sounds like things are going wonderfully. My boy/girl twins arrived at 36 weeks and they were absolutely ready to be born (they will be 8 years old the end of June…how time flies and my oldest will be 11 next week!). Enjoy! Would love to hear periodic updates from you when time allows!
Best,
Jonna
Hi Jonna, hoping we make it to 36 weeks. I feel like these babies are ready to come out now, but I know they need some more time to grow. Just doesn’t feel like there’s much room left for them in there!
Time does fly – I can’t believe Summer is already 18 months old. We plan on savoring every second with our babies when they arrive as that sweet newborn stage ends so quickly.
So funny you would post this today, because I was just thinking about you yesterday and browsing around some of your old posts!
You look fabulous, Heather!!! You really do. Congrats, congrats, again and again, and have fun with your new twins when they come!
Lots of love,
Alex
Alex,
Hi! I’ve been thinking about you too. I miss keeping with everyone. Hope all is well and thanks for thinking about us!
sooooo lovely to here from you again!!
fab to you are are doing well! you look great in that pic!
Thanks so much Michaela.
You look amazing! Especially while toting around *two* little ones! I jumped when I saw you had an update – great to see how things are progressing!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks Rachel.
You are one adorable pregnant lady!
So glad to see a post from you and to hear that all is well. I can’t believe the next two HEABlets will be with you guys do soon! Will be thinking of you guys. Have a great rest of your pregnancy!
Thanks Monica, I can’t believe it either. Thanks for the thoughts, and I hope all is well with you and your precious family.
you look great Heather, still quite small bump for carrying twins!!! I miss your blog posts so much and your food!
all the best for the new family to come!
Thanks so much Coco. I miss all of you guys, and I hope you’re doing well. I think of you and your bump often.
loved reading this update! I’m so happy to hear that everything is going well and you look great.
Thanks Ida.
Thanks for giving us an update, Heather. Miss you but hope you’re having the best
time enjoying the time with your little one/getting ready for the new little additions.
You look great.
Thanks so much Jennifer. I miss all of you and hope to post more regularly again someday.
A very sweet and happy update!! You look Fabulous:-)
Thanks so much ClaireRose!
Copied down that quinoa recipe…thinking I’ll make it tomorrow for us and Nate to eat this coming week during his recoveries. What pool are you going to? I want to pool it! and see you! Love. Tonya
Tonya,
I’ve been thinking about Nate, and I hope he is healing well. Sounds like you are taking good care of him! We’ve been going to the indoor pool at the Bellevue Y as it’s super kid-friendly, but now all the outdoor pools are open too. Summer loves the water, and so whenever you want to join us, just let me know!
You look wonderful! Miss hearing from you and seeing you. Love, Denise.
Thanks Denise. Hope all is well with you. Hopefully we’ll run into you soon – we’re always at the Frothy Monkey!
Yay….come back… !!!
Whoohoo!!!!! Radiant as ever Heather! I can’t believe there are twins in there either! You’re so tiny for 32 weeks! I’m so happy you’re feeling great and stool walking with Ms Sweetness Summer. Love to CD, Summer and you and pats to the pups, Marty
P.S. Definitely two babies in there, and wow, are they active. I think they’ve both got CD’s energy for sure!
…STILL walking with Ms Sweetness Summer!!!
Marty,
Thanks for kind words and much love to you as well. 
Hehe, darn spell correct!
And I don’t know who misses who more!!!!
Thanks for the update, you know you’ve been in my thought so often, but didn’t want to bother you! I really miss you too! You look so great Heather! Glad to hear that you and Summer have been able to spend time going out walking together. I’m sending lots of love and will pray that this next month goes really well for you and the twins! I look forward to the next update!
Thanks so much Cherie. The love and prayers are much appreciated.
I think and pray for you and your growing family often. I was in Nashville a month ago and looked for you LOL.. every pregnant woman I saw got the “once over”.. you just never know. I am sooooo glad you’re doing well and that you gave us a glimpse of you AND a recipe! YEAH!!
Annie, thanks so much for your prayers. That is so funny you were looking out for me. If you’re ever in town again, please shoot me an email. Would love to meet up. Hope you enjoyed your time here!
aww! you are looking so great! 3 to 4 weeks is so soon, that is wonderful
How does it feel to get to end the pregnancy a little bit earlier than with Summer? Sounds good to me! Thinking happy thoughts for the next few weeks!
Natalie,
I’m hoping the twins stay in as long as possible for their own sake, but I must say, I don’t think I could ever make it to 40 weeks with all these kicks. I’m pretty grateful twins arrive early as I just don’t think there is much more room for them in there. Hope you are feeling well yourself!
So good to hear from you! You look wonderful! Twins are the most amazing thing ever! Enjoy them. Our twin boys just turned 7 on the 24th of May. How did seven years go by so fast!?! Enjoy the last few weeks of your pregnancy. Thanks for keeping us updated.
By the way, that quinoa and broccoli looks AMAZING!
Melissa,
I only hear good things about being a mama to twins, and it just makes me so happy. Happy (belated) Birthday to your boys. It does go by fast, no?
I never wanted twins – it sounded like too much work! But it was sooo much easier than I expected. They are our 6th & 7th kids, and it still was easier than I thought it would be! They are the biggest blessing. I love watching them together. Y’all are going to have the best time!
Melissa,
I know – I pretty much freaked out at our 6-week ultrasound. I was excited and very happy at the thought of two babies but also completely overwhelmed thinking about how much work it would be. Thanks so much for the encouragement – I can’t wait to see our little ones playing together.
You look amazing Heather! Amazing. I can’t believe you are 32 weeks already.
So glad you are doing well. It’s good to “see” you!
Thanks Ameena. Honestly, I can’t believe I’m 32 weeks along either. They’ll be here so soon!
What a wonderful surprise to see your post in my email! You look terrific. Good luck and look forward to more updates!
Thanks Help4NewMoms!
yaay!
Hi Heather,
It’s wonderful to hear from you and know that all is well! Thanks for the update. Miss your posts but am glad that you are looking terrific. take care and wishing you a very smooth pregnancy!
Hope to hear more good news soon!
Be praying for you and your family!
Thanks so much Lena. I miss you guys too and hope to get back to posting someday.
Not sure what motivated me to check your blog today (May 27th). So glad I did as it was nice to see you and read your update. You look superb and I am glad to hear that all is going well. You are missed… Selfishly, I hope you return to active blogging again.
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers all the time Heather. Be well.
Thanks Anita.
Sooooo happy to see a post and update from you Heather!!
And you look AMAZING girl, what a beautiful pregnant woman you are, once again!!
Please keep us posted when the twins arrive, I am sure your readers are all cheering for you all during this pregnancy!
Hugs,
Ana
Thanks so much Ana, and yes, I promise an update when the twins arrive. Thanks for all the love and support.
Omgosh, I can’t believe you posted an update, I have visited your blog for a few times a month to see if you have something new to share with us, and am so happy to see everything is well
You look beautiful
Thanks so much Marina and thanks for checking in. I promise another update when the twins arrive.
You look amazing! I was as 60 inches around and I am only 5’4″ tall! Enjoy every second! Write a short note to yourself every day! Or try…I made it about the first 6 months!
My son was 7.6 and my daughter was 5.10, 13 lbs of baby! I did not look like you:) I am now 55 and the twins are 24, life is good!
Kay,
Oh my goodness – 60 inches! You must have been quite uncomfortable those last few weeks, but that’s awesome your babies were such healthy weights. I’m hoping/praying for the same!
Heather!
I am just reading your blog since the very first postt!
The last week I’ve been reading day by day… (and drooling – watching all those yummy foods!!!)
You look amazing…So good to hear you healthy, happy and twins are healthy… Thank you for this email, it TOTALLY made my day!!!!
Love to your family and doggies,
Tita from Slovenia
Tita,
Oh goodness – all those old posts. Definitely some drool-worthy recipes, and definitely some NOT so photogenic meals in my archives. Ha! Happy to hear you’re enjoying them none the less.
Much love to you as well my friend.
I’m so glad to hear from you! You look completely wonderful
I’m so glad it’s all going well. I can’t wait to hear about how it goes with you and your twins
Thanks so much Sylvia.
heab! you have the TINIEST belly ever for twins. where are you hiding them?! glad to hear you are doing well! best wishes for your last few weeks! x
Melissa,
You’re too kind – trust me, there are two in there. The girl is hiding up under my ribs, and the boy is enjoying bouncing around on my uterus. It’s one big dance party in my belly every night.
Miss you, and I hope all is well!
Hey gorgeous mama, you look great. Was a nice surprise this morning to check on you and see an update. We miss you too! Can’t wait to meet the twins! Continue taking excellent care of you and them!
Hi Nolita,
Thanks so much – we can’t wait to meet them either!
So nice to hear that you’re doing well!
Thanks Samantha.
Hi Heather,
When you do return to active blogging, will your inaugural post be a “Pancake Sunday”. Boy, I sure miss those…
Be well! Howard
Howard,
Haha – I will do my best to coordinate the twins’ birth announcement with a pancake post.
So good to hear from you! You look amazing for 31 weeks and I wish you the best for the remainder of your pregnancy.
Take care!!!!
~Rebecca
Thanks so much Rebecca.
Thanks so much for the update, Heather! I’ve been visiting your recipe site quite a lot lately … and today I thought of you and clicked on your website – and yay, there’s an update!
So happy that everything is going well – all the best for the rest of the pregnancy & the birth of the twins!
chocolate hug from Germany!
Marie-Sophie
Thanks so much Marie-Sophie. Next time I enjoy some chocolate, I will think of you…so probably about 5 minutes from now.
Happy to hear you’re enjoying some of my recipes!
So happy to see a post from you and glad to see you are doing so well. Very excited for you guys! Miss your posts and best of luck in the next few weeks
Thanks so much Syndie. We’re excited too.
Just had to post a comment for old times sake.
You look fantastic, ma lady! (in my best/worst Irish accent)
Thanks Scott! Hope you guys had a good time at the lake this weekend. Miss you both!
You look amazing as always! I’m so glad things are going well, that you are feeling better and you have found some interest in cooking (and eating) again! We were in TN this weekend and while the weather was beautiful, it was HOT! I hope you had a great weekend! Hugs to you!
Sarena,
Thanks so much, and yes, it’s been way too hot here the past week or so, but looks like things will cool off this week, thank goodness! So not ready for the summer heat yet. Miss you sweet friend, and hope all is well.
Thanks for the update! I can’t believe how tiny you are for being 32 weeks pregnant with twins. You are glowing in that picture!
Thanks so much Kelly.
Wow! Cannot believe you’re 31 weeks in that picture. You surely don’t look very big at all! It’s great you’ve remained active. Best of luck with your delivery. Looking forward to more pictures!!
Thanks Francesca.
So excited that you checked in with us. I miss you! There is something about hearing from you that is so comforting. Prayers for an easy labor/delivery. I’m a twin…it’s so special!
Andrea,
Thanks so much for the prayers – they are much appreciated!
I hear only good things from moms of twins and twins themselves, and it makes me so grateful & excited for these two little babies in my belly.
Great to see a post from you! Miss you lots, but glad we have IG
