2015 October Owls! | The chicks are hatching! *16 boys & 8 girls so far!*

[DoubleTFun]

Well my twins are measuring 3lbs 1 oz and 2 lbs 12oz. They are both breech currently. Hoping if I do some handstands in the pool next weekend I'll convince them to flip.

Hey lady's. Just wanted to update those that remember me. We are pg again. 5+4 today. Hope all of you are enjoying your pg so far.

Congratulations! That's wonderful news!

Gp I love the shower pics x

Likewise - looks like you had a great day. Love the cake!

I got my first "That has to be twins!" today! Measuring 41 weeks at my OB appointment last week. And still wearing miniskirts as you can see, haha! I don't get out anymore except to appointments, today I did my first NST.

You look great!

Allforthegirl that is such great news! Congrats

Ginger I love that cake!! Did it taste as good as it looks?

Lovely bump pic dark star!

I'm almost at 30 weeks! Feels so unreal. Is everybody prepared? I only have a few things left to buy, mainly my hospital bag stuff, but I still feel really unprepared! Xx

I'm not prepared but quite relaxed about it now as I have purchased most things. We'll start working on putting together the furniture next weekend, and I have my baby shower in 3 weeks so will sort out the rest then

Well yesterday at my 28 week appointment I was measuring 39 weeks. Thanks to my huge bump. My boys have been more active the last 3 days and waking me up during the night having parties in my tummy. Now if I rest my laptop on my belly they bounce it off. They are getting stronger by the day!

Cute!

I have a question ladies: I have been receiving a lot of gifts in the mail and will get more when I put up my registry, what is the etiquette around thanking for gifts if you do not see the gifter in person? Should I call/email/message them right away, or wait and send a physical card? How are you tracking what you receive? I'm not having a shower as most of my friends and family are long distance.

I always send a physical card, but most of my friends just message

Eeek double digits :happy dance:

YAY! Congratulations!

10weeks! 10weeks! 10weeks! Eeeeekkk

Woohoo! You're getting so close

Please, please take a picture of that!

I'd love to see nursery pictures too. All going well here. We had our antenatal classes yesterday, and it was great to see the maternity rooms, delivery suites and theatre. It's definitely feeling more real. I'm getting tired faster now too - I need to start shrinking how much I'm trying to do each day, I think!

Yay for 10 week countdown ladies I cannot wait to get to that point

 

[apreslaube]

I am definitely nesting now...

So yesterday the in-laws came by to drop off some baby stuff and 2 dressers. They took us out to lunch, and my MIL saw a babys r us next door and wanted to stop in. They ended up buying us a play yard and a crib - https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=23371996&cp=2255957.2273443.68293816.2256245&parentPage=search! We got the play yard up next to my side of the bed. The crib is staying at their house for awhile since we don't have the room and don't really need it yet. The play yard no longer looks like the picture - it has tons of Eddie's things in it that haven't been properly put away yet .

Same here !!! So Weird !!
10 weeks until due date, 8 weeks left at work (if all goes well!). Getting real now.
My nephew was born 5 weeks early, and as I told my boyfriend this week-end: 10 weeks to go... Unless this little one does like his/her cousin and arrives early, it could be 5 weeks to go! Hahaha Scaaaary!

 

[Hit Girl]

Very exciting craquinette! (And all the others who have 10 weeks to go.)

I still feel like the baby in the class being at only 27 weeks.

 

[Hit Girl]

Does anyone have a little one in a breech position? My little guy is and he's been jamming his head up into my diaphragm the last week or so causing me really bad reflux every night. I get woken up by it constantly and I've started having to sleep sitting upright. It really sucks.

You'll hit 30 weeks before you know it!
I don't know what position my baby is in... but I can definitely feel some pressure up my rib cage, not comfortable at all!
I hope your baby moves and gives you a bit of relief!

Same here not even in 3rd tri yet

Exciting ladies on the final countdowns next milestone is single digit days

 

[Hit Girl]

Don't worry Twag - we'll stick together!

 

[startd]

I'm somewhere in the middle! Hit Girl, mine was breech last scan. He seems to be moving around quite a bit still though
Hope you get some sleep

Yep! Going to work on flipping her today.

I would just leave her alone and let her flip in time, but I can barely feel her when she's breech because of the anterior placenta. We saw her going nuts on the ultrasound last week, but I could barely feel her at all.

I can feel her much better when she's head down, so flipping her for my sanity. Sitting on a big ball and playing music through headphones down low in my uterus got her to flip last time. Hubs jokes she must really like Rise Against.


The reflux is terrible no matter which position she's in, though. I take Zantac 150. No more than two per day.

I've got 2 transverse babies- they are lying side to side like they are on bunkbeds in there. It's looking unlikely that they will both turn because they are crowded, and you cannot attempt to move twins within the womb.

 

[3boys]

My little man has his head dug into my ribs. I'm not worried though as last baby was spinning breech to head down at 38 weeks
