QOTW: Do you have a favorite holiday food?

kaseycoco · December 2017

Hello! We had our hospital tour tonight, it's still a bit early, but our doctor delivers at two hospitals and we wanted to see them both to have some insight before deciding which one to go to. It definitely helps to make it feel like the big day is on the horizon.

QOTW: I think my favorite holiday food is this pastry that my mom makes every year at Christmas. It's my great-grandmother's recipe (which we still have a copy of in her handwriting!) and I grew up eating it for breakfast on Christmas morning. It was a special treat to have something like that for breakfast so although the pastry is tasty it also brings back lots of warm fuzzy memories

@kaseycoco I remember our hospital visit with the twins and it made things feel more real. Mmm your Christmas tradition pastry sounds amazing.

AFM: 38+1, I have a midwife appointment today but so far I think this kid is content to stay in place. Just trying to wrap up the last minute things. Last night it hit me that one way or another I'm going to have this kid in 3 weeks or less since they won't let me go past 41weeks. Eep!

@thucks how are you doing?

Hey guys I'm all good here. Just got back from my 30w apt. Same o same o. No protein in the urine, blood pressure is good, baby moved quit a bit but finally got a read in at 153hbpm. My fundal height is measuring at 35 cm, she said that's ok so I guess I'm all good this week. I go back next Thursday for my 32 week apt. They couldn't get me in the week of Christmas so my 32w apt is 2 days prior to me being 32 weeks.
Just fighting dang colds running through my house that I can't seem to get rid of.
We did paint my bedroom/nursery this weekend to start nesting a little. We are using a new photographer for maternity/newborn pics and she wants to use the room as our background so I needed to do something with it lol.

@kaseycoco that pastry sounds amazing!!!!

QOTW: We don't really do food for Christmas mostly Thanksgiving. We don't have a big dinner or anything cause my husband usually has to work that day so there is no point. It used to be tradition to make candies and give them out as presents during the holidays. I can remember my grandma doing it and my mom. But since having the twins I haven't made time for it but I sure do miss it and need to get back into that tradition.

I am moving on up to the 3rd trimester today!
28wks today EDD 3/09/18
With Boy/Girl Twins. I will be delivering at 37wks if I haven't gone by then.
I have been feeling real out of breath and uncomfortable since 26wks..And the exhaustion has returned from the first trimester.
My next appointment is with my OB next Wednesday.
I dont really have a favorite holiday food.. i love turkey over ham and i love all things pumpkin as well as cheesecake

@momma6angels11 WELCOME!! its amazing how much room those twins take up. I was always out of breath going up stairs with the twins... even just one flight and I would have to sit and rest. Or walking around costco... that required breaks. Just take it easy, your body is doing an amazing thing growing 2 babies at once.

thucks · December 2017

@momma6angels11 Yay welcome to the 3rd Trimester!!! We don't have very far left to go. I agree with @wabash15 it's amazing how much room twins can take up. I also had trouble breathing carrying the twins. It's amazing the difference I have noticed between carrying the twins and now carrying a singleton.

momma6angels11 · December 2017

Thanks @wabash15 and @thucks. It is amazing how our bodies are able to grow 2 babies at once..

kaseycoco · December 2017

welcome to the third tri @momma6angels11 I sometimes feel out of breath walking up the stairs with just one babe, so I can only imagine how tough that would be with twins! I can't remember if I've asked you this before, but does your doctor plan on having you go early or wait and see how things go?

momma6angels11 · December 2017

@kaseycoco I am being induced or C-Section @37wks if I haven't gone by then
