MoMs Check in! (12/4)

cls78 · December 2014

Hi MoMs!

How is everyone feeling? Any updates? I hope everyone is doing well!

QOTW: Did you take advantage of the Black Friday, Cyber Monday sales? What did you get?

PeaceofKia · December 2014

Hi!!! Did we have one last week, I totally don't remember. Anyway...

I'm 29w6d today...30 weeks tomorrow!! Yeah!!

Feeling sluggish, heavy, sore, cranky, but blessed, if that makes sense. We had our MFM appt Tuesday and have our OB appt today. The girls still are right on track and have no problems, so it's just me going through it all.

I didn't do Black Friday, but on Thanksgiving day I went to Family Dollar and took advantage of the buy one get one free toy sale. I spent $21 on 8 Christmas toys for DD.

30 Weeks!

I had a OB and a MFM appt this week! Babies are doing well with weights 3.3 (A) and 3.8 (B) pounds. Both are still head down with good heartbeats. My OB said I should have a idea if I will be having a vaginal birth or c section in the next few weeks. I am also going to be going to the OB every 2 weeks for now on.

My baby shower in NJ with hubbies family is Sat and my Mom is coming up for it.

. I booked an elective 3 d u/s for this Friday, so our Moms could get a peek! I only got 2 d u/s's with the MFM, so I am excited for the 3 d!

Oh and has anyone seen this? I scored this for a $100 at a yard sale group on FB. Hope it comes in handy and wasn't a waste of $$. The MoM who I am buying it from said she loved it.

QOTW: We just moved, so we went out on Black Friday and got some things for the house. (Towels, sheets, TV, DVD/Blue Ray player etc). I bought the girls some newborn sleepers and 3 month outfits at the Carters sale online. I also got some Newborn Pure and Natural cloth diapers from Kawaii for 3.99 each!

@PeaceofKia‌ Glad to hear the babies are on track!

. This is the first check in in 2 weeks! Sorry about that. I wasn't bumping much the last 2 weeks, but I am back!

baileylove22 · December 2014

I am feeling the same as @PeaceofKia‌. Being on bedrest in the hospital has taken a toll on me I think. The good news is that it looks like I may be released next week at 32 weeks. I had an ultrasound this week and the babies are measuring good even though I have not been able to eat too much and have been vomiting a lot. My cervix is still really short and I am still getting sick here and there, but they think I can manage on bedrest at home. It would be great to be home for Christmas!

QOTW: No Black Friday shopping for me. I think my husband took advantage of some online sales.

30 weeks today!

I had my 30 week growth scan yesterday and the babies look great. Jackson (A) weighs 3lb 7oz and Madison (B) was right behind him at 3lb 6 oz both in the 60th percentile. The doctor told me to make sure I had a hospital bag packed because at this point if they decide to come they will try Intervention to an extent, but if they want to come they will come. In 2 weeks I go back again and schedule my for sure C-Section date for my 37th week.

QOTW: I went Black Friday shopping and got some coordinating onesies from Carters, and Cyber Monday shopping at Sparkleinpink.com and got a ton of bows for Madi with free shipping.

PeaceofKia · December 2014

I'll be packing my hospital bag very soon too. I'm still in disbelief that my ob has given us January 23rd as the absolute deadline for these babies to arrive! Ahh!

kefttsc · December 2014

Coming up on 31 weeks. I'm not really sure how that happened to be honest. Didn't we all just get pregnant and find out there were two babies?

At my doctor's visit on Monday, things looked great. William (B) is measuring 3 days ahead still at 3lb4oz and Harper (A) is measuring a ridiculous 10 days ahead at 3lb13oz. Both are head down right now, but William keeps flipping around. They are both high kicking ninja babies. Our ultrasounds are hilarious because it takes FOREVER to get measurements because of their movement.

I was told that we are going to try to make it to 36-37 weeks, but that we will go as long as the babies let us. I wish I had a hard deadline like you @PeaceOfKia, but he is all about letting me go as long as I can, which is great, but scary! I've been having a lot of BH the last few days. They don't hurt, but boy are they strange.

The nursery is coming together and all of our furniture is in there now!! I'm not sure I like how it's arranged yet, but at least I can actually move things around and put things away!!!! Tonight, I'm putting all of their books away and I can't WAIT. I've been wanting to do that for WEEKS but have been waiting on the shelves.

QOTW: We did a bit of Cyber Monday shopping and got a small Smart TV for the nursery for super cheap! I resisted having a TV in the nursery, but then realized that reading and FBing/Bumping in the middle of the night while BFing two babies was not possible. So now we have a TV

Hi Ladies!

Doing well over here.. I have my 30w u/s tmr & a cervix check. I can't wait to see these boys! I am starting to not sleep, but only bc of insomnia not bc I'm uncomfortable so I can't complain. I have maternity pics Saturday. Today I visited a daycare for the second time & I think it will be a good fit! I also put an ad on care.com for a nanny just to see. I would regret it if I didn't try, but w/ our budget I'm not holding my breath. I'm going to pack my hospital bag this weekend!! IT'S SO CRAZY!! Time is flying!!

No black Friday shopping for us! But we used most of our BBB gift cards and made some exchanges, so I think we have everything we need for the boys to come (hopefully in no less than 6wks)!!

hais_mommy · December 2014

All is well so far! 28 weeks today... Seriously cannot believe how fast time has gone! Have an OB appt tomorrow and then into every 2 week appts. Have my 3 hr GD test tomorrow...yuck. Next US with MFM isn't until Christmas Eve morning. Planning a baby moon, two nights at a BnB with hubby on December 22/23... With inlaws here to watch DD and DS. Didn't intend to Black Friday shop but stumbled into it. Target had a sale on a Graco car seat... They ran out of the seat and instant substituted the seats we wanted for $79 each- normally $99. Then using gift cards I had... Paid $51 total out of pocket for my 2 car seats! We saved 75%!!

ksgsmu · December 2014

Hey ladies! Still at home on bedrest but doing ok. I'm 31 and 4 days. My toxemia hasn't gotten worse and my cervix is holding up so that is good news. My boys are 4.0 and 4.9 lbs so big babies! my MFM says he won't let me go past 36-37 weeks but doubts we will make it that far. I still believe theses babies will be here before New Years! I don't go shopping on Black Friday but since I am home on bedrest I have done all my christmas shopping online and scored some great deals on cyber Monday. For the babies I did find a ton of clothes on Carter's.com for 75percent off.

**stuck in the box**
I am kinda bummed today. My babies r a lot smaller than yours. At 30w3d, A is 2lbs15oz and B is only 2lbs6oz. They are 2weeks and 3 weeks behind and 19% different from each other. My doctor told me to start taking bed rest seriously and be more strict, eat more and if they get to 20% different I will be back on hospital bed rest. That is the last thing I want!! I figured I'd have small babes bc I'm small & my whole family has small babies.. I just didn't think they would be this far behind in just one month (At 26w3d they were 4 days (A) and 1wk (B) behind). She's giving me two weeks until my next u/s to hopefully show they are doing better or at least the same.

PeaceofKia · December 2014

@MissEm15 that doesn't seem that far behind. I had my 30 week check this week and baby a was 2lb15oz and baby B was 2lbs13oz and they said they were right on track. Weird.

I agree with @PeaceofKia, @MissEm15. just go by your doctor's orders and all will be fine!! Mine were 4 days apart at my last appointment, and now they are 7. So it's all relative.

I have the opposite problem. I'm eating well, etc. and they are happy with my weight, but if Harper keeps growing at this pace, we may be taking them before William is truly ready just to keep her safe.

The key right now is that IF we were to deliver, there is a VERY VERY VERY good chance that all of our babies would be perfect!! Don't worry!!! It'll be fine!!!

jaytee16 · December 2014

Hi ladies! Loving the updates!! I have to commend our bed rest mamas, I know that must be tough, you ladies are rocking it and those babies are lucky to have such awesome moms!

AFM, I hit 29w yesterday and saw my OB. I hate to complain because I love these miracles so much and am so grateful but this was a tough week on me. I've had seriously intense pelvic pain, the cankles are really sexy, my hands are also a bit swollen and really achey. And sleep is not going well. Oh and the heartburn is ongoing, though not as bad as it has been, so that's a plus.

I had a growth scan 2 weeks ago and babies were measuring in the 60 and 61st percentile (2.3lbs & 2.16lbs). Baby boy (A) is head down while girl is breech. Next scan is Dec 15 and OB on the 18th, we're moving on to appts every 2 weeks now.

QOTW: our sales were no where near as good as in the US. I have my second shower this Sun, I've made myself promise not shop until afterwards.

PeaceofKia · December 2014

@toamberroy!! Wow!! You're growing some healthy babies!! At my 30 week scan last week the girls were 2lb15oz and 2lbs13oz. And I have GD. Happy to know we'll have some healthy twins in F15!!

@peaceofkia & @kefttsc Thank you both!! You guys made me feel better. It's just hard not to compare even though I know our babies our completely different & they are healthy and nothing is really wrong besides being small. It's crazy how much we love them and want to do anything we can for them already!
