Mbababy,
I am so glad that you had an uneventful 1st trimester. Those are the best kind! I had some nausea, but Angela from this Board told me about the prescription, Zofran, and it gave me complete relief so I was really lucky. Other than a little scare at the very beginning of my pregnancy, everything has been going great. No complications so far, just the regular discomforts that carrying twins brings in the last trimester, but it will all be worth for healthy babies. Getting to 21 weeks is a great milestone and it's the fun time too when you have the energy to plan and shop for your little one's arrival!!! So excited for you.
Titi & Dodger,
How cool that your due dates are so close together! Y'all can be bump buddies! woo hoo!
Carole,
I'm glad that you were able to switch doctors and I hope that you will feel comfortable with the new one. I can't believe that you are 18 weeks almost! Has time been flying by for you or dragging? I'm always curious if one feels like it is slow-going or a speedy blur for other people. I felt like the first trimester and now these final weeks are going really slowly, but from 12 weeks to 28, it just sped by. I love the name Zara! That is so feminine and very unique. Grace is a lovely middle name ... that is on our list to go with Lillian, but we are really struggling to settle on a middle name and have a handful that we are considering. I'll pick one which my DH vetoes and vice versa! We are going to name our boy is William Alexander but we will call him Liam. I really like those two for your boy or the two others you mentioned, Oscar or Charlie. Oscar is unique! What names has your husband come up with? I really love all of the names that the girls on this board have picked out so far, very classy choices!!! Have a great retreat with all that yummy food!
Chris,
Thanks for asking about my stress-test. It was done in a regular Labor & Delivery post-partum room at the hospital where we plan to deliver. I really liked all the nurses and our doctor came over to check on me, which was very nice. Unfortunately, we were there from 9 am to 12:30 pm. It took them an hour to find our two squirmy babies and pin them done on the monitor and then another 2+hours to complete the test because Baby B (Liam) wouldn't stay put unless my DH stood next to the bed and held down the plastic monitor piece with his finger- we started calling him "Jack Bauer" from the TV show "24" because Liam would "go off the grid". He'd move and we'd have to start over. At one point, he must have just taken a nap and wasn't moving at all. Finally they brought me lunch and then he started behaving. Baby A (Lily) cooperated the entire time. Guess this is just foreshadowing of what we have to look forward to.
All in all, it went fine, but I have to do this every other week in the hospital, and the alternating weeks we will do a biophysical profile at the maternal fetal specialists office (which is the NST with a sonogram). All on top of weekly OB visits so lots of doctor's appt. I am happy about being so well-monitored though.
Angela,
I think that you texted me about the NST, but I couldn't read it b/c my cell started acting up yesterday morning and we had to take it to Verizon after our appt. They fixed my phone but lost my account history! I'm so sorry your message was deleted!
Hi MrsMuffet,
Love that Katelyn is going to be eating Turkey and Green beans for her holiday meal!!! Very grown up!
New mommies... I hope to see some pictures of the babies dressed up for Christmas!!! I'm going to try to post some pics of the nursery tomorrow if I have time.
Soon to be mommies ... I'm so excited that we've got some more ladies on here to share their pregnancies with us! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

so scary. Once I understood I was able to relax a little. 
decorating the nursery is so much fun and really makes the whole thing seem so much more real! And good for you for wanting it done by six months. In retrospect I definitely should have planned to finish a LOT earlier with my nursery! 
he will eat it with a lot of coaxing but I have to mix it with fruit or veggies. 
he doesn't like any of the meats! I think it is the texture, not the taste.
We're working on getting the breastmilk supply back up since we've been opting out of some feedings because they kept saying it was the breastmilk when in actuality it doesn't matter if it's breast milk or formula so now I'm back on breast milk and supplementing with the AR formula until the supply comes back. She STILL has issues latching to my nipple. just with being plus size there seems to be so much areola to take in she has a hard time. The quick let down makes her frustrated so she takes the shield and sucks it through at HER pace. Hopefully this will get better with time. Either way I'm giving it a few more weeks before I up and go to formula full time. I'm not apposed to it at all.
Congrats ladies!! 
Aw Hon please I pray for you a healthy and happy nine months!!!! Stick baby stick!!
