CJnKR2014

@curlylocks3‌ i was thinking that earlier. When one of my pregnant friends say "oh i'm so HUGE..." or "god I'm so uncomfortable... I give them that "honey you have no idea" look lol ive been guilty of giving that look to some of the comments ive seen on TB too, to be honest lol

@CJnKR2014‌ I don't think I had the balls to post it, but that was going to be my FFFC last week

@curlylocks3‌ i definitely wouldn't have the balls lol... though it would make one hell of a thread!!!

Sorry I haven't been around much. I've been struggling with low iron this whole pregnancy and when I'm not at appointments I'm sleeping or with DD.

1) How far along are you and how far along are you measuring? 36w 3d, measuring approx 43w
2) Upcoming appts? Monday and Thursday for NSTs, had my last ultrasound Thursday.
3) Any updates to share? Dilated 1.5cm, bed rest, trying to keep these girls in until May 20 which is when my c section is scheduled for
4) Go ahead and let it out - how are you REALLY feeling? Horrible. I'm swollen, exhausted, sore, can barely walk. I can't do anything and I feel like I'm a horrible mom to DD right now

QOTD: What are you doing to relax and take care of yourself these days? Yoga, swimming, warm baths, massage, etc? I sit in bed or on the couch since my OB told me my one job right now is just to exist lol

ETA: they are currently weighing in at 6.5lbs each!

@LegalLadyBug‌ -- good work! You are almost there! I love that our jobs are to exist... That's about as much as I can handle right now.

Lol isn't that the truth. Hubby spent the day with me and kept asking what I wanted to do. I'm like, isn't sitting here breathing enough?! I did end up sanding the changing table so whatever it was something lol

Since it seems like we've abandoned the twin group, I'll ask these questions here: How do you plan to dress your twins? (Matching? Coordinated? Or just a free-for-all of random clothing?) When people have given you clothing, which of the above have they done?

I have some matchy matchy stuff, some random stuff, and some coordinating stuff (not super matchy but looks cute together). People have bought me a little bit of everything, though they do tend to like the matchy matchy outfits, probably because little girl clothes are freaking cute.

I will most likely just have either 1) onesie clad babies or 2) nekkie babies. It's just so hot here! They'll wear the cute outfits for pics and for when seeing other people.

What day do you guys want to do the twin check in on? I think this last one was on a Tuesday... does that work for everyone?

I don't care when we do Checkin but Tuesdays are easy for me since that as always y Checkin day. Sorry for the group abandonment guys! I totally forgt about it when I went on bedrest and couldn't access it easily. At some point i would like to go to something a bit less public since I'm paranoid but that's me.
I plan for sometimes coordinating but mostly "whatever we have clean". It's the new in look I figure If it's not a handmedown it's going to be picked out by me so the taste will be coordinating enough.

Curls we'll make it easy, Tuesday it is!

I have some of each, like @katekat8721‌ said. I mostly have hand-me-downs for now but at my baby shower on Sunday I'm sure I'll get a ton of matchy matchy ones. I want to coordinate but have them dressed differently enough that people recognize them as two individuals.

@CAMag‌ remember that rash I was talking about? It's gotten worse, a lot worse. Its all over my stomach, and has gone all the way down my legs. Omfg I am friggin miserable!!! And now I'm out of any kind of itch relief, and DH is gone with the car. I feel like I'm going to cry.

curlylocks3

@CJnKR2014‌ what rash? I'm being nosy. I had a weird rash on my thighs for a while an got hooked on Benadryl (or the cvs equivalent) spray. I was insanely itchy for the last few weeks and I'd be spraying that shit on constantly.
