[moter98]

She is just so darn cute.

 

[MightyMom]

[Twinkie210]

Colta- Big congrats on TTC again! Sorry the adoption process is pushed out some, but at least that gives you and DH time to get prepared to TTC You could have your rainbow + 1 by this time next year!!!

Mighty- I am glad you are able to relax some. Has your Dr. check to see if your cervix is closed? I had several bouts of bleeding during 1st tri this time around, and each time they checked they said it was a good sign my cervix was long and closed still (sometimes they just visually checked). At my 7 week ultrasound they said a may have had a small bleed behind my placenta, but not even large enough to measure. The other times they have just said that I have a very vascular cervix that tends to bleed easily. I am hoping your bleeding is caused my something very mild and of no concern! Keep us updated!

Mail- I love the dresses and all the shoes! I like to wear heels, but I am not great at walking in them for long periods of time and would probably fall on my face if I tried pregnant

Moter- I say indulge in twinkies and ramen noodles!

Berdc- love the pic of Olivia!

Well DH and I have officially decided c-section is the way to go (I am sure I posted earlier that we were leaning that way). So I will be letting my Dr. know tuesday at my appt and then hopefully scheduling it tuesday or wednesday. I have to be 39 weeks before they will do an elective c-section, so I am hoping either the 2th or the 28th I will be having this baby I hope they don't make me wait any longer than that! I am terrified that I will go into labor before that and have to have an "emergency" c-section (I don't really consider it an emergency, but I guess unscheduled ones are considered this).

 

[MightyMom]

I didn't go in to the doctor's office. I figured if my cervix is closed it will still be closed next Thursday when I am scheduled. And if it is open there is nothing anyone can do about it. So I am talking the zen approach and just saying if this is my rainbow, then the best I can do is relax. And if this isn't then I am only prolonging the grief if I start now. So I am just going to enjoy being pregnant for as long as it lasts, even through the morning sickness and the headaches and peeing in the middle of the night. I'll have a scan at my appointment next Thursday and I hope to see that heartbeat again!

 

[mailcmm]

Mighty... Born is better then bright red as they say. Can't wait for your scan on Tuesday. I have an appointment on Tuesday as well. But wont get a scan until next week. Ready to see Finn again.

Berdc... Olivia is precious. I can't wait til it's my turn.

Moter... How goes the land of bordom?

Twinkie....I hope your csection goes smoothly. Only about 1 week left. That's so awesome.

Tv and colta... What's up ladies?

 

[moter98]

Eek! You get to meet your baby soon Twinkie!

Mighty, hoping this is your rainbow.

i love, love, love your nursery! so gorgeous. we have that same musical toy. ds loved it. can't wait to get started on our nursery. i'm still waiting for dh to decide which color to paint the walls. i got the samples, now dh just has to pick. i'm guessing he's gonna pick the pastel green since he thinks the baby yellow is girly. i think the green should go well with our jungle theme. i prefer the yellow myself, but you can't win em all!

mailcmm: Where on Earth did you get that dress!? It it beyond cute!

So, let's start off with that so I don't forget AGAIN!
I took about 2 hours yesterday to sit, read and catch up with how everyone was doing. I'm glad things are working out, one way or the other, for all of us.

Mail: I feel your pain with the in-law situation, although mine aren't that bad. Love the dresses and the shoe picks. Mighty's husband has good taste!

Berdc: Hey! Thanks for the message and checking up on me. How is BF/ pumping going? I am trying new positions daily to get them both latched at the same time, but I've only been successful one time (and my husband helped that time). It also seems like my breasts are sometimes too full for them to get a good grasp of my nipples. Oh well, expressing and feeding is going super well and I feel great knowing they're still getting breast milk. Super cute pics of Olivia!

Twinkie: OMG! Any day now...I know you want to wait a but, but it's so good to know that the baby is fully cooked. I had a c-section and all went well. I didn't have too many bad moments...that immobile legs thing is a trip tho - wow.

Moter: I was so happy to read how far along you are a d that your tear is healed. I'm a believer in bed rest. It sure did help me. Good job Mama!

Colta: Wow...such great news to hear you're gonna start TTC again! That's awesome that your hubby is on board and fully committed now. It will be super cool to possibly have 2 lovelies by next year!

TV: I'm so glad that things are going well for you and this pregnancy. I know it's annoying, but I was always grateful for all those stupid preggo symptoms. Keep at it Mama!

Mighty: Glad you're back! Congrats on your pregnancy. Definitely wishing you the best of luck!

AFM: I'm still at home with the babies until at least November 26th. Debating on whether I should take an additional 2 weeks with no pay. It would make it easier for our transition with Winter Break closer. Things are going really well with the twins. I'm gone by myself most days, although my MIL comes over 2-3 times a week for a couple of hours. She'd come over - or even sleep here - if we'd let her. She's in heaven with the babies. I just hate for her to be here. I dunno. I'd just rather be by myself, no offense. People are also saying how lucky I am to have a MIL that's retired and I always just smile and nod. Whatev...we are looking into nannies now. That's an interesting experience. Well, getting ready for church, so I'll check in with you all later on. I miss y'all, so imma do a better job with checking in.

The links above are to my husband's blog for the kids and our tumblr account. Of course we take way more pics than this, but these are the main ones we share. When I figure out how to load more pics from my phone and his phone, I'll share more.

Have a great Sunday!

menb, they are precious!

Sad to say I stopped pumping. When I went back to work last week it was just to much for me to handle. I am proud to say that she did get breastmilk for nine weeks even though it was supplemented with formula cause I never made enough to keep her fed. I felt like I never seen her working 8-5 and had to spend hours of my time with her pumping.

Wow, the babies are so cute! How do they do sleeping at night?

 

[MightyMom]

Thanks menb! I'm so glad you're doing so well. I totally get the "wanting to be alone" thing. We didn't have many visitors and I liked it that way. I didn't have to clean or do dishes or...get dressed. I like to just hang out with my baby and do things MY WAY. I'm a bit of a control freak, so it was hard for me to watch someone change DD and think "they're doing it wrong." LOL I think I'll be much more relaxed this time around!

mailcmm: Where on Earth did you get that dress!? It it beyond cute!

I got it at Rosie pope maternity. That dress is no longer for sale as she just put out her winter line. But she has tons other. Great site for nice maternity stuff.

 

[mailcmm]

Menb... Thank you for finally posting pics of those gorgeous babies.

Afm... Finished the dresser. So happy with the way it came out.
