Pregnant w/ TWINS Support Group Week ending March 5th

[ruckychang]

Dust--Thnks for the advice!! Your babies are adorable--they look so much more similar than mine!!

[Sarahmom]

OMG Rucky they're gorgeous!!! So precious <3

So glad you all seem to be doing well. I on the other hand am feeling like uber crap. I have a nasty cough/cold, and feeling pretty nauseous. I'm 9w3d today. Just waiting for this first trimester to be over. I wish they could just put me in a coma til the 3rd tri....sigh.

Hi ladies!

lola~ how are you feeling? Funny about snoring like Vader!

rucky~ I'll have to check with my friend about the binder and see if my hospital gives me one or if I should look into my own. How are those babes?!

Adrienne~ I'm glad they were able to stop whatever it was that was starting! I'm glad you got to go home too...it's so much more comfortable at home! I haven't seen any colostrum either. It doesn't come early for everyone.

sarahmom~ sorry you're feeling nasty. I was pretty sick through 16 weeks, and then off and on until 21. That's when it really started to clear. I hope you are feeling better before that. Definitely try some crackers, smaller meals etc. I got a nasty cold in my 2nd tri, and suffered through it...it's no fun. I hope you start feeling better soon

Had my weekly appt. today. OB just restated what to look for to make sure no pre-e. So far, no headaches, weird vision, or high bp. So now he's thinking that it's more related to my kidney disease, awesome. Although...we'll never know.
Our c-section is scheduled for March 31st!! So that puts me at 38w3days. Obviously if they decide earlier, or my body does that changes some things, but that's what we're going for!
They then had me go for a NST, so got all hooked up, and baby A passed within 20 minutes, baby B...my little stinker....it took another hour!!!! But they're good.
So I have another u/s and appt. next week, hopefully they're packing on the lbs!!

DMBurns ~ It's great to have a date to know that you will be a parent by! Great weights! I am excited for my 1st NST, should be in a couple of weeks.

ruckychang-They are gorgeous.She looks smaller.

afm-Nothing really going on with me.Waiting for my next OB appt. on the 6th.I hope they do and u/s to see if we can confirm the sexes.I'm anxious to get things moving.Ankle swelling is bothering me while working.Headaches too.

[Jake's mom]

Hairwiz: I am like you...just hanging out waiting for the next OB visit. Sorry you aren't feeling well. I had some headaches a week or so ago, too, but they have gotten better. Hope yours do soon!

DMBurns: Wow, March 31st will be here soon! Glad they think the protein is from your kidney disease rather than a pregnancy problem. Hope they gain some good weight by next week!

Sarahmom: 9w3d! Things seemed slow to me around that time, but the past 4 weeks have flown! I hope it flies by for you! I haven't had much m/s but the worst was from about 9-11 weeks then it almost completely went away...hope yours does, too.

Rucky and Dustpuppy: Wow...what adorable babies!!! Keep the tips (and the pics) coming!

Adrienne: I am glad they were able to get everything stopped and get you back home! I hope those babies grow, grow, grow!!

Suretu: Great belly bump pic!

Lola: I think your DH will have to put up with a little Darth Vadar for another couple of weeks! I hope you are getting some rest.

AFM: 16 wk checkup tomorrow. Feeling much better with all m/s, insomnia, etc. almost completely gone! I even have some energy back!! I know this is a brief reprieve, but I plan to enjoy it for as long as possible.

Figured I'd share a little belly progress pic. I feel great 2wks PP. My belly is surprisingly close to normal, sans muscle tone, and my incision looks great and I feel pretty well recovered.

The Chickens were 2wks on Mon. Harlow is doing much better! She is feeding better and is up to 4lb 7.5oz (4 3oz @ birth) and Felix is up to 6lb 8oz (5 14oz @ birth) He has always been bigger and prob always will be.

As for scan weights, @ 35wks, they were correct on F, but were a full lb off for H...I was VERY surprised to hear her small weight during my Csect!

BF is hard, but we're plugging along. Pumping for H. The whole BFing, pumping, feeding H bottle process takes a full hour at this point...at least 8x a day.

Keep it up, girls!!!

[Sarahmom]

OMgosh Rucky you're so tiny! lol...my belly will never look that cute!

[Cbear1883]

Good morning ladies! Sorry I've been MIA but I've been training at work and so so so tired, I've been quite the slacker around here! So we finally got to see the babies and are so happy to say they're growing perfectly and are healthy as far as they could tell. And, we are having one boy and one girl! We're both thrilled, and so grateful for their health especially but also because we really wanted one of each! I have an echo on 4/6 in 5 weeks to check the hearts so it's a waiting game til then but I feel so much better now, 11 weeks is too long to go without seeing them...I don't know how singleton mom's do it!

Rucky-You look fantastic and those babies are adorable! Kudos on the bf'g, I plan to pump because I have little faith I'd be able to keep up bf'g then both. Glad Harlow is putting on some weight, looks like her brother will always be bigger!

Hair-The waiting is the WORST, trust me, I know all about it But it's so worth it when you get to see them

Sarah-Ugh I'm sorry you're dealing with ms, mine tapered off completely at 14 weeks and I don't miss it one bit! Now if I could just find some energy...

DMburns-Congrats on your scheduled C-section! I agree, you might not make it that far but at least you have an end date now I don't want to say I'm "glad" the protein is coming from kidneys...but it's better than Pre-e I suppose. Congrats on hitting 34 weeks! I hear that's a good number, and you can start to relax a bit. Hopefully they'll keep cooking for a little while longer.

Lola-LOL Darth Vader...my DH has been complaining about my snoring lately too...but he snores as well so he can shut his stupid mouth!

Adrienne-So glad you're home again, hospitals suck! Hope things remain calm

[Suretu]

Cbear1883 ~ Congrats! I think boy/girl is team lavender, so GO TEAM LAVENDER!
