Re: MoM's to be check in :)
QOTW: What candy or sweet treat would you want in your treat bag right now? Is this something different than before you were a MoM to be?
Aside from my normal Reese's I would want MilkyWays in there - funny thing is I could pass or take on MilkyWays before getting pregnant. I didn't really care for them and now I could literally eat them all day long.
Update -
L&D trip over the weekend for what I thought was contractions every 5 minutes. Turns out I was contracting every minute to every other minute and was a fingertip dialeted. After two shots of trabutaline they got them down to 1 or 2 every hour. So I'm officially on bedrest and will see what my OB has to say today/tomorrow. Good news is though that the boys were great and are still very active. Baby B is still breech and I have this gut feeling that isn't going to change.
***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.
Hello, please add me. My EDD is 6/4/13. We are expecting twins. It was supposed to be triplets, but one didn't make it all the way to my uterus and got left behind in my fallopian tube. We plan on finding out the genders when its time.
QOTW: What candy or sweet treat would you want in your treat bag right now? Is this something different than before you were a MoM to be?
Ice cream seems to soothe my nausea. So, if I could carry around pints of cookies and cream ice cream that would be great. I've always loved ice cream, so no change b/c I'm pregnant.

Maybe a Milky Way or a Crunch bar. I normally LOVE candy corn, but right now it sounds soooo gross!
TTC #1 since May 2010. BFP #1 - 5/31/10; m/c on 7/22/10
Started seeing RE in August 2011
5 IUIs: BFN; IVF #1 - Success! BFP - 7/25/12
QOTW- Reese's! That hasn't changed, I've always been addictied to them.
Update- Baby boy (B) is 1 lb 11oz and baby girl (A) is 1 lb 7oz. Both switched from head down to breech. I'm hoping they decide to move back to head down and stay put!
Update: I had an amniotic fluid check this morning and everything looks great. I also had my first internal cervix check and it's between 4.5 - 5, so I'm very happy with that. My BP was also down, so it's good to know that the meds are working.

Reeses have always been my guilty pleasure, even before being pregnant.

Snickers... I have never really liked sweets but this pregnancy has me eating a snickers several times per week...oops.
Update:
I had a couple of contractions this weekend but we were able to slow them down with the muscle relaxer. The boys are doing well right now. My doctor will decide Thursday if it is time for modified bedrest or bedrest.

Ditto on the snickers for me. Really anything chocolate though. This has always been the case.
Update: Nothing to really update... still having a TON of BH contractions. Getting another growth scan tomorrow. Just starting to get pretty uncomfortable in general, but whose not right?! ; )
Update: My shower yesterday and it was an amazing day. Great food, great people, great gifts - I couldn't have asked for a better day. I feel so so lucky in so many ways. My next u/s is next Tuesday and our nursery furniture is being delivered that day as well. Now I am just trying to stay safe since Philadelphia is in the path of a hurricane, eek!

QOTW: What candy or sweet treat would you want in your treat bag right now? Is this something different than before you were a MoM to be?
I would want reeses. They have always been my favorite.
Update: I had a growth scan and echos on the babies this past Friday. Both babies were measuring exactly the same at 1lb 11oz each! The echos were perfect and they were moving around great! My MFM was very happy with my cervical legnth which is at 4cm and as she calls it a "rockstar"! I am able to keep working despite frequent BH since my cervix is not changing at all. I have another growth scan in 4 weeks. We are working on names right now and it is proving to be rather difficult!
