Re: >>> Twin TWO-sday Check-in <<<
Milestones this week?: my belly button is finally FLAT (never popped!)
Dr. Appts this week?: today with OB at 2:30
How are you feeling?: Officially feeling BIG--i've complained in the past about not feeling or looking big for twins and I've gotten the same comments from people, and they sometimes upset me, but i'm officially BIG and my belly is getting in the way of things. Other than that, I feel good.
How's DH doing?: He's overwhelmed with all the baby stuff from the shower and wants a list of what needs to be put together before they come so we'll get on that next weekend!
Do you have help lined up for when babies come home?: I do. Alot. Just not sure how soon I want it all!
Show us your baby bump!: no new pic today
How far along?: 32w 4d
Milestones this week?: 32 weeks marks development of the lungs, so that's a pretty big milestone.
Drs Appts this week: U/S tomorrow and then OB appt on Thursday.
How are you feeling?: Exhausted. I'm "nesting" but not able to physically nest, and I think my hormones are starting to take over because people are really starting to annoy me.
How's your DH doing?: Better, trying to get all his ducks in a row for filing for unemployment and looking for a new job. He's getting really excited the closer it gets to the boys' arrival.
Do you have help lined up for when the babies come?: Nope. Now that DH is unemployed he'll be home to help me, but even when he had a job we weren't planning on asking anyone to come over. My family and I butt heads a lot and it causes too much unnecessary stress to ask them to come help. That and once the babies are here for a while interest starts to die down and then you're left by yourself, so why not just learn to do it by yourself to start with? That's my view anyways.
Baby bump: No new pictures since last week!
How far along?: 27 weeks 4 days
Milestones this week?: none really
Drs Appts this week: Yup. Meet with my new OB today and have another MFM appointment on Friday for a cervical check.
How are you feeling?: Let's just say I'm really glad that my future replacement has started spending full days with me at school. She is a great help. As of my last u/s, my cervix is looking a little on the short side so I'm trying really hard to stay off my feet as much as possible...though this is difficult when you teach 7th grade!
How's your DH doing?: He is amazing to say the least. He is getting really anxious to meet the girls. I think he gets jealous that I can feel them pretty much 24/7 now!
Do you have help lined up for when the babies come?: I will basically be on my own with random family members helping where they can. When I go back to work in the Fall (I'm a teacher) my MIL will be watching the girls.
Baby bump: At school so no pic from me. One of my students told me I looked "extra huge" yesterday, so you can use your imagination haha.
How far along?: 31 weeks today
Milestones this week?: not sure?there?s been more negatives then positives physically for me. I think the girls are doing great, kicking the crap out of me, and feels like they're wrestling sometimes! But at least the baby shower is over and we can move forward with the nursery finally!
Dr. Appts this week?: Not until the 20th since my OB is on vaca
How are you feeling?: 50/50, I had new unannounced pains last week that I had to call on, the on-call doc said they were from an Irritable Uterus. The BH?s are getting more intense when they come around. And just overall uncomfortable, I think the girls are really low now.
How's DH doing?: He got really stressed out the night I was having the new pains. And I had to jump down his throat this morning about making sure the nursery gets done before anything else, because he asked me if he could start construction on our front porch expansion this weekend?..um NO!
Do you have help lined up for when babies come home?: I do, DH will be home for 2 weeks max. After that my MIL will stay with us for 3 days a week as long as we need her. And my mom is nearby and can help too. She?ll be watching DS, but can still help if needed.

Milestones this week?: Still pregnant!! The procardia is working!!
Dr. Appts this week?: Saw the OB today - everything looked good.
How are you feeling?: exhausted. I have either hit "the wall" or the Procardia is making me extra lethargic.
How's DH doing?: better now that I am home LOL
Do you have help lined up for when babies come home?: Yes, my mom is coming out. She's the only one that really can, but she is only staying for a short 3 wks as I'd probably kill her if she stayed longer.
Show us your baby bump!: I'll post a pic in a bit
Lovely view! Once I was actually home from the hospital with my girls, I really did not need much help. I knew I was going to be on my own each time, so I really wanted to just get into it right away. It really helped build my confidence.
I'm a walking 2 bedroom apartment!!
How far along?: 30 weeks and 4 days

Milestones this week?: feeling hiccups! and my DH felt them tonight!
Dr. Appts this week?: none this week
How are you feeling?: exhausted and run down! My hip is absolutely killing me and its getting progressively harder to walk around. I'm really ready to be done with work but I'm trying to tough it out for a little while longer.
How's DH doing?: He's doing great, taking care of me and working on finishing the nursery!
Do you have help lined up for when babies come home?: We don't have a definite plan in place but we've had many offers and I plan on utilizing all the help I can get
Show us your baby bump!: I didn't take one tonight but I'll try and add one to the hump day bump day post tomorrow!
