Well, I haven't been on here in a little over a week so I just got all excited then immediately heartbroken for you, Floridasian! I'm so sorry sweetie...I can't even imagine how it must feel after trying so long to get that good news then bad news. My heart really goes out to you, and I wish there was something I could do to help you but I know there's probably not. Just know we're all here for you if you ever want to talk. Hugs, sweetie. I know you will get your rainbow baby very soon.
Savvy wow it's so amazing to think that you will be having your twins at the beginning of the year!! So exciting! I agree with Moni (I think you said this) that it's amazing how fast it has gone. You seem to have sailed right through a pregnancy with twins. I'm so impressed! It's so exciting to hear about you getting the nursery, clothes and everything all ready!
You'd be proud of me (with your thrifty ways)...the last few days I've been hitting the online garage sale sites on Facebook. I got a mamaroo, which I was going to buy new, in new condition for less than half the price...in the colors I wanted. And I haven't counted them up, but several lots of good quality onesies and sleepers in sizes ranging from newborn to 12 months for less than a hundred bucks total (probably like 70-80 pieces of clothing). I mean, I could totally go out and buy all this crap but from what everyone says they're just going to need a bunch one onesies and sleepers to puke and poop on and you change them like 5 times a day for the first few months so I am happy to get some stuff cheap and second hand!!
I did splurge on the furniture for the nursery, so this way I feel better about that! I ordered an awesome looking rocker & ottoman from Pottery Barn kids that looks like a normal chair (and can be converted to a normal chair) but it's supposed to be super comfy. I've heard from so many people that that is really something you want to invest in, especially if breastfeeding.
Allison, hope baby Owen comes soon! It just occurred to me that people on here might think we ignore each other, but I'm not being bitch to her...we are on a TTC FB page together, so we hear about our daily drama on there.
Moni you are moving right along! I'm so excited to see that your pregnancy is progressing so well! It's such a relief and joy to be safely into the second trimester isn't it?!! I have heard different things about laying on your back. I've heard to stop once you get into the 2nd tri, I've heard to stop after 20 weeks, and I've heard to stop when it gets uncomfortable...your body will tell you. I've always slept mostly on my side, a little leaning toward my belly, so I haven't had to adjust that. But I love to lay on my back to read before bed or watch TV sometimes. So I still do it for a while because it hasn't started bugging me. But I have a big prego body pillow so I will try to prop one side up here and there if it's for a long time. I asked my DR about it and she said you don't have to have one side very much elevated...she said for patients they would just slide a bag of IV fluids under one hip which she said was not very big.
AFM, just been staying busy...the holidays are my busiest work time. I have been careful not to schedule too many gigs since I didn't know how I'd be feeling. But still between the jobs that I did schedule and family/friend parties, it's busy!
I'm 19weeks 3 days! It's hard to believe I'm nearly halfway there!!!
Crazy awesome!!! Had my anatomy scan last week, and it was wonderful to see the little guy again. And best of all DH was able to come. This is the first time he's seen him since the very first U/S (7 or 9 weeks...can't remember). Been feeling lots of kids and movements, which is fun. That's about it!
Otherwise doing well.
