Good Afternoon Ladies!!

How is everyone feeling this week?

QOTW: Are you taking a Baby moon or a mini getaway before the babies?

courtlandmatthew · October 2014

I am starting to feel uncomfortable out of no where- I know it is going to get worse so trying not to complain too much.

We are going away next week- for my husband's birthday which is in January- I figure I will be in no shape to do much celebrating then and it is going to get tricky to leave 4 little kids when the twins come so I am going to go away now while I can. I will miss my kids but I am really really looking forward to getting away!

How is everyone feeling this week? I've been better as well. I have been feeling very anxious over the past few weeks with my blood pressure and everything. I feel really overwhelmed. Really looking forward to the weekend.

QOTW: Are you taking a Baby moon or a mini getaway before the babies? Nope. Staying close to home.

How is everyone feeling this week?

I'm feeling decent. Sleep seems to be something I'll never see again.....I was up from 2:30 to 4:30 last night. At least I got to start Gilmore Girls from the beginning on Netflix.

My belly is expanding rapidly, but I am getting more used to the discomfort, so that's better I guess.

Our next appointment is on Monday and I really can't wait to see the babies again!

QOTW: Are you taking a Baby moon or a mini getaway before the babies?

This weekend, we are headed for a small family vacation with 5 other families that we have taken since before I was born (and I'm 35). It should be fun.

Next weekend, we are either going to the beach (SIL has a house we stay in) or going to DC for the Amway conference and staying an extra day for sightseeing. Still undecided.....I'm open to your opinions if you'd like to give them

I have hit some kind of wall this week. I know it will get way worse but this week I became so much more uncomfortable. My ribs are killing me if I overdo it at all so I feel your pain@abseptember. My MFM appointment went great and my cervix looks really good, but I am also having a lot of fears about pre-term birth. I guess that is normal and I am trying not to dwell on it and just focus on taking care of myself.

QOTW:
Nope- my MFM and OB don't let their twin patients travel after 24 weeks so there is that and then we are trying not to spend money on extra stuff right now with the babies coming and Christmas right around the corner.

I have been feeling good for the most part. I started having BH that suck, but I guess they were going to start one of these days. I have just started to feel so unprepared but my baby shower is in a few weeks and DH says that will help calm me down because I will know what to buy, and we can get the nursery prepared, which is giving me anxiety. Overall though things aren't bad though just feeling hectic.

QOTW: No baby moon in the works here!

Feeling better that my whatever I had sickness is gone! I just realized tomorrow marks 2 years since my dad's major esophageal cancer removal surgery and I wish I could spend the day with him... Damn long distance!

No baby moon here! Just travelling next month for our baby shower, and maybe again for Thanksgiving depending on how I'm feeling. Thank goodness all family is within 3 hours away!

They are really kicking my but. One is so far down I feel like he will pick his head out any day and the other is so high I get kicked in the ribs at the same time:) My hips have relaxed too much already so I am having a lot of trouble walking or standing more then about 10 minutes, I asked my OB if you could get handycap parking with twins, she said she wished but no:( They both are measuring ahead 24w2d 1lb6oz and 24w5d 1lb10oz. Both very good measurements so I am happy:) they measured cervix and in only 4weeks it went from 5.6 down to 3.5. It is still good but just suprised how far it went down in only 4weeks. They also found a lot of glucose in my urin so they moved my GD testing up to two weeks from now just in case.

Not going anyplace, wish we could but at least I get monthly spaw days so that is enough for me:)

Hi MoMs! Just lurking and wanted to tell you how much I admire you all. You are one stoic group of ladies!

baileylove22 · October 2014

@abseptember‌ I think I have just worried myself so much about developing preeclampsia early on in this pregnancy that I am scared to do anything. I had a hospital scare a couple weeks ago and everything turned out ok for now which was great news. However, I still wake up feeling anxious first thing every morning which is so frustrating. It sticks with me off and on throughout day. I have tried yoga, I walk everyday, breathing exercises, candles, music, praying and nothing has really helped. I have never felt this way before. I am open to any other suggestions you have.

cls78 · October 2014

I am lame and forgot to update! lol. I was out and about yesterday.

I am feeling good. My OB appt was Monday at 22 weeks and my OB is happy with how I am doing. Next OB appt I have to have Glucose testing done. (I guess that is standard around 26 weeks). I am still not feeling any movement, but my OB didn't seem concerned. My next MFM appt is at 23 weeks and I will get to see the babies agian. I only get to hear them with the doppler with the OB.

QOTW: I wish! I always said I wanted to do a tropical vacation before baby comes, but that is just not in the cards. Between the babies, moving, and home improvements we just can't. My hubby came home the other day and suggested a little trip to Orlando, but the prices are just to high for just a weekend and we can use the money better else where. I do want to maybe do a day trip to NYC to see a show or maybe overnight in Lancaster or a day trip to AC since those are within driving distance, but we will see.

cls78 · October 2014

@ksgsmu‌ My OB and MFM had said nothing about travel restrictions. My baby shower in my hometown in VA is on Nov 15th. (27 weeks) The only way I wouldn't go is if I am put on bed rest. FX everything continues to go smooth.

baileylove22 · October 2014

Thank you @abseptember‌! You're right, I really have stopped doing anything I really used to enjoy. My whole focus has been on getting through this pregnancy. I will have to try and do something fun this weekend. I know that I will be having a super large drink or few in Feb when this is over! Thanks for listening!

MissEm15 · October 2014

@maple403 you are so sweet!

@abseptember CONGRATS ON THE BOYS!! Team blue is pretty sweet so far

@baileylove22 I'll say a little prayer for you.. sending some peace your way.

Good luck to everyone on their next apts!

AFM: I'm doing good. Starting to feel the pressure in my belly & my skin is soo itchy! My cervical length checks have been great, however I think baby A's sac has borderline high amniotic fluid. So I hope that fixes itself. I have an OB apt Tuesday, so I'm going to ask about that and what birthclasses to take. My glucose test will be next, sometime after 24w. My next u/s isn't until 28w

How is everyone else's amniotic fluid?? Baby A is 7.5 +/- & Baby B is around 5. Just curious.

QOTW: We already took our babymoon to Florida for a week when I was 18w. It was amazing & peaceful & FREE (skymiles and family condo). So we had to take advantage!

Is 7.5 deepest pocket or AFI of all 4 quadrants?
