I will post the check in every Monday but feel free to contribute whenever you can or when you have any news I will read all updates before I post the next week. I will also try to follow and post birth stories too. PM me with anything, suggestions for QOTW, additions, changes, general multiples questions, I am here for you! The official date for multiples bump photos and ultrasound sharing is the first post of every month but feel free to share anytime too! If you are worried about showing your face just take a photo of that beautiful multiples belly

***If you would like to be added to the check in WELCOME and please give your due date and any other information you would like added such as: genders, surprise, triplets, quads, etc. whether you are on bedrest or hospital bedrest.

QOTW: If you had a theme song for your multiples pregnancy what would it be and why?  For example, mine would have been "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat World because of this line, "Everything (everything) will be just fine, everything (everything) will be alright (alright)."

Hi- I'm a newbie.  Fraternal twins due 6/30.  

Missa_g

Doing well here, just trying to stay calm.  I've been spoiled with weekly ultrasounds and now have to wait until the 21st for the next one.  I'm glad it's a busy time of year so time will hopefully fly by!

QOTW:  I wouldn't call it a theme song but every time I hear "God Gave Me You" by Blake Shelton I can't help but put a hand on my bump and smile.  It's been a rough year but carrying these two miracles makes it all feel worth it.

" God gave me you for the ups and downs, God gave me you for the days of doubt, For when I think I?ve lost my way, There are no words here left to say, it?s true, God gave me you." 

lmydogally

Morning!  Is there a song about back pain because if so, that's my song these days.  Ugh.

august8080

Hi,

I introduced myself a few weeks ago--can I be added to the list please?

I have di/di spontaneous twins (sex unknown as of yet) due on 6/7/2012. 

My DH and I have been singing the Colin Raye song "One Boy, One Girl" even though we don't know what we're having yet. 

ninjabridemom

I have no idea what the song would be!!!  Something about surprises and waiting, lol.

 

We get our CF results today (*fingers crossed*)!!!!!!  I'm desperately awaiting the call, but I know the geneticist is in clinic until about 12:30.  I'll bug her this afternoon  

politelypink

DH likes the song 'one boy, one girl' by Colin Ray. In the chorus it says one boy, one girl, two hearts beating wildly. It always makes me think of my baby a and b!

Updates-Seeing the OB again Thursday and hoping to get me csection schedualed, or at least start talking about it seriously so I can make plans. It still feels like A is breech and B transverse.

selenamarino

Depressed my black friday shopping trip ended after Target (my first stop).  My hubby had to finish without me.

The pelvic pain is getting worse every day and I'm so swollen that today my wedding rings wouldn't even fit...so I cried about that.

 I have no idea what a theme song would be for my babies...It's undecided.

adacopeach

I would love to be added to the list.  Our due date is 6/1..for 38 weeks.  I would assume we have fraternal twins and the sexes are unknown.

 As for the song, I am way to emotional to think about that.  I've determined this because I am crying hysterically reading the other girls' posts.

McGibbon51311

As long as the song has been out (Stereo Hearts), I've said that the chorus reminds me of the babies: 

My heart's a stereo; it beats for you so listen close

Heart my thoughts in every note, make me your radio. 

I think it's just cute to think about the babies listening to my heart beat and how it is like their stereo. And how it beats for them. Corny, I know. 

sarahvarno

QOTW: If you had a theme song for your multiples pregnancy what would it be and why?

I think Darius Rucker's song It Won't Be Like This For Long. I think it is a great song to describe raising a child and I know our household will change soon. Also, I know that when I have back pain or pressure it won't be like this for long!

BlakeG

Hmmm I don't really know about a theme song but every time any Rhianna song comes on the radio in the car the boys go crazy.  Apparently they are big Rhianna fans lol.  So I associate all of her songs with the pregnancy now.  It's very strange.

gtbride&groom

I would love to be added to the list!  My due date for my 2 fraternal girls is 3/10/12.

 I had my first trip to L&D after contractions and hitting a deer in our car.  Luckily, everything was fine and I was able to escape!

 Our song would have to be "They were kung fu fighting...." no explaination needed.

kzawisl

I'm new here! Can you please add me? Fraternal twins due 7/11/12. No theme song yet, although I, too, have had "One Boy, One Girl" stuck in my head since last Tues when we had our first u/s!

naflmj

Nothing new here, I go for my NT scan Wednesday as well as my 12 week appt a week late. I have been battling migraines at least weekly and am pretty over them at this point, hoping the OB has some suggestions.

QOTD: My brain is too foggy to think about this right now. 

lcbourgeois

Can I be added also?  I had briefly said hi after finding out we're having twins & my concern over mo/mo, but we found separating sacs & are expecting our mo/di babies around our 5-31-12 due date.  My next appointment with MFM is on 12-09.  I've had to wait a month for this u/s & then I'll start every other week monitoring.  Hoping all is still well!!!

lou3386

New - please add!

Fraternal girls due 4/4 - Ava & Lila.

kiwi443

Hi everyone!

Could you change my date to January 26? My c-sect. is scheduled .

For my song, I'll go with "O-o-h Child" by Five Stairsteps. I love the line that says, "things are gonna get easier, ooh, things'll be brighter". 

 

redhotchili83

How about "Im sexy and I know it" for my song?  Hahah not really but whatever.

 Im having a boy and a girl

drgeli

This will be my last check-in!! I'm amazed I made it this far. My boys are breech and transverse, so I am scheduled for a c-section on Thursday (38 weeks). 

 My theme song would be "2 princes" by spin doctors. It's a cheesy song, but it's how we referred to our babies when we first found out they were boys :-)

aattebury

Our theme song would be "Love Will Keep us Alive" by The Eagles. It's kind of our theme song to life for every situation, no matter what, we have eachother. It's a constant reminder for us to love what we have now and to not take anything for granted.

Mrs_MBed

I am really over this pelvic pain...  Unless I am waking without moving my thighs, I feel like I am being stabbed in the pubic bone...

Other than the pain/discomfort, everything is going well - boys growing great and together, plus my cervix is staying above 4 cm. 

QOTD:  Mine would be "I Will Survive" LOL  Although the PP poster's "Kung Fu Fighting" would also be applicable.  )

alindt

Feeling pretty good, all things considered. Some pelvic and hip pain every once in a while. Babies moving around is really weird and uncomfortable at times. The baby on my right side keeps flipping from breech to vertex. I can't believe I've made it to 32 weeks! So far at my weekly MFM appointments, all is well, so I guess I'm on track to deliver by New Years.

I enjoyed reading other's answers to the QOD. I can't think of a really good one. How about "Celebration" because that's what I'll be doing when these babies come out! 

Breezy8407

Hi!

Nothing new for me. Just getting bigger each day. We watched the Nat Geo Multiples documentary yesterday. It was cool but made me anxious that everything is still okay in there. 

I must be emotional/hormonal, but I think of H when I hear this song (DMB You and Me) and all the crazy things we have been through and how this is just the beginning to another adventure:

Oh and when the kids are old enough were gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, could do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together, could do anything baby
You and me together, yes yes

afwifestrecker7706

Today is my last check in I will be having the trio tomorrow. I can't wait to have them out. 

 

Our song would also be God Gave Me You. Every time I hear I put my hand on my belly and think of them and how blessed we are.  

AmyJoy728

I don't know a theme....

Had a check-up at OB on Tuesday, measured at 26 weeks and up a total of 16lbs.

Went on our babymoon to my aunt's beach house for the weekend and the weather was AWESOME. Got some black Friday shopping done Thursday (got a Dyson!!), on Friday before we left, and some at the outlets on Saturday.

Had a check-up at MFM today. One baby is 1lb, the other is 15oz. All looks good for the boys. 

Had to bring a pillow with me for long car rides (over 30mins) as I was getting bad rib pain and middle/lower back pain. Still not sure if i've felt the babies, nothing i'm sure is them yet..

HazelEyes730

No major updates. Had u/ s on 23rd and babies are good. I'm just hoping this nausea ends real soon. I feel so bad for my DD, most days I feel so bad I don't want to move. As for a song I'm pretty laid back and everyone keeps telling me how that's going to change. I don't really see it happening but who knows.:) so I'm going with "Que Sera Sera" also just in general about my whole family, DH, DD, the Twins I like Lifehouse. "Everything" these lines especially. How can I stand here with You and not be moved by You? Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this? And how can I stand here with You and not be moved by You? Would You tell me, how could it be any better than this? 'Cause You're all I want, You're all I need You're everything, everything You're all I want, You're all I need You're everything, everything (sorry about the format no idea how to make spaces on ipad)

emschott

Good question on the theme song... too bad I don't have one.  It would be a combo of stay in there, babies/ stay long enough, cervix/ give me a break, back!.  Keeping my fingers crossed for my MFM appointment Thursday.

LnA5909

I feel like my belly exploded in the last two weeks...and with that has come the discomfort. Had the Level II with the MFM today.  Both babies are looking great, although he didn't give us weights or percentiles.  Hopefully they will have that in the report when I go to the OB tomorrow.  I asked him to check my cervical length because I swear I am having BH already...it was a nice 4.7.  The babies were both breech and face to face snuggling during the majority of the u/s.  So cute!!

For theme song, DMB's You and Me and also comes to mind for me.  I love when it comes up in my random play list at work!

erniebufflo

Doing pretty good, no major complaints here.

QOTW: If you had a theme song for your multiples pregnancy what would it be and why? 

Can I pick something like "Crazy Train?" I've been soooooo emotional. My sister was doing her usual ragging on me over Thanksgiving and I totally burst into sobbing tears. Gonna be glad when that's over.

reillyroowho

Hello there! I am having mo/di identical boys! My official due date is 4-15? It doesn't mean much to me since there is no way my doc would let me go that far. I would have to say that a song for my pregnancy would have to be "I like big butts" need I explain?

melissaRW27

Please add me. Triplets due 7/6/12!

I just graduated from my RE on friday and have my first appointment with my OB on wednesday. Only 8 weeks along, but already sporting a small baby bump... having to be very creative with my clothes to keep it covered and its a good thing that I can wear scrubs to work!

nsunsera

Hi!  Please add me:)  I have posted a few times but mostly lurk.  I am 36 weeks today-got admitted to the hospital last night.  MY feet were more swollen than normal and I got a headache-called the Dr. and he said to come in.  My blood pressure was high. So they started taking delivery-I totally freaked out.  My husband had not even come with me to the hospital-we moved to this area a couple of months ago and our back-up plan people for my DS were out of town and none of the other people we know would answer the phone!!

 

But then all of the pre-e labs came back normal.  They decided to keep me for a 24 hour urine.  They are going to keep me again tonight. My BP looks fine now-I have a headache on and off. They said they will send me home in the a.m. on bedrest and then schedule an induction/c-section for next week-(37 weeks).  

Trying to enjoy the quiet before these babies arrive:)

DoraBride07

Hi there! I have boy/girl twins due 4/8.

QOTW: My theme song is probably something like Matt Maher's "Hold Us Together" because of the chorus singing

"And love will hold us together / Make us a shelter to weather the storm

And I'll be my brother's keeper /So the whole world will know that we're not alone"

I listen to it when I get overwhelmed thinking of how we're going to do it all (with a two-year-old and twins and virtually no familial help), and this calms me.

emma12210

Hi! I'd love to be added - boy/girl twins due Jan 25

sweetclementine

I would love to be added, I am new here and we just recently found out that we are expecting twins, due 07/04
