@ agiboma, I really am grateful at getting this far. You don't know how much. Lovely meaning(Chika), I do come from the same country as your husband and there is so much emphasis on the meaning of a child's name

wunderful sorry you are so fewer away, just think baby makes it all worth it. we will be here when you need to vent.

 

[Prayerfulmom2]

Wunderful, you have us!!! Xox

Why are family and friends asking if in having more kids? I mean, let me heal! Free ( venting)

 

[Hope2302]

@ day and Wundaful, all the best with HBR. Hope your babies cook well into the thirties.
@ prayerful, really? They need to chill
@ iCh, hope results come back good. FX

 

[Agiboma]

@prayerful my goodness why they are asking just ignore them and get your rest
@ day day i remember being on hospital bedrest till delivery it was indeed difficult, just hang in their hun and keep those babies baking. they might even repeat the steroid dosage, because you are carrying twins.
@wunderful my goodness you are far away from everyone for a very long time its very upsetting feeling and my hospital bedrest was in teh same city as my family its good you are getting social work help i also needed it when the team from NICU came and scared the daylights out of me when they did their consult about statistics
@Ich all will be well with jonathen
@hopetrust me i know how you feel about reaching milestones.
@shelby how are the girls doing?

 

[ShelbyLC]

Wunderful and Day - I hope your babies keep cooking for a while longer.
lch - I'm sure Jonathan is fine. FX for you anyway.
baby - congratulations on 38+ weeks! I know what you mean about being uncomfortable with the extra fluid. My girls' fluid was high for 6ish weeks up until I gave birth.
Agiboma - you're getting so close!


My girls are great - their weight gain has finally slowed a big. ( I was worried I was going to have 30lb one-year-olds ) and they are now 8lbs 3oz (T) and 8lbs 5oz (B). Last Friday they were both 8lbs 1oz. (For comparison - the Friday before that, they were 7lbs 3oz and 7lbs 4oz!) They are awake more, a lot more active, a lot more vocal. Their hair is getting longer - I have to actually wash it when I bathe them now, none of that rinsing-with-sort-of-soapy-water stuff! Also, when they were born, their eyes were pitch black. You couldn't tell the iris from the pupil. Over the last few weeks, though, their eyes have finally turned newborn-blue.

AHHH shelby they are so precious, i just want to hug them

 

[LoveSeel]

Wonderful & DayDay - sorry to hear you are both on bedrest. I went into labor at 24 weeks 5 days. I have been in the hospital since then on bedrest and now I am 30 weeks today. I am still dilated with funneling and bulging membranes and no stitch, but no babies yet. Hang in there.

 

[wunderful78]

Holy wow .. Love steel 6 weeks of hospital bed rest , you've done so well

Day day how r u feeling ?

I'm feeling better after a sleep and the drugs wearing off but I'm crazy missing my daughter and home life pity all hospitals aren't good enough to have babies at earlier times, at least that way they could treat me at home hospital ... This big city hospital is massive

Aww too cute. Are they identical? They are beautiful! Enjoy I see they have apnea monitors! At least you don't have to wake up scared to see if they are ok

 

[DAYDAY24]

Wunderful im ok just got a little sick after steroid shot. Glade that you are feeling better

 

[ShelbyLC]

Aww too cute. Are they identical? They are beautiful! Enjoy I see they have apnea monitors! At least you don't have to wake up scared to see if they are ok

Yep, identical! I really do appreciate the monitors, but I will be so happy when their pediatrician says it's okay to get rid of them! They're so much trouble to carry around and the belts and pads irritate the girls skin to the point that Britton's skin is broken in places. They haven't had any heart rate drops of apnea spells since the week after they came home, when they had a cold. Hopefully it won't be too long until they're cleared.

How's Missy doing today?

 

[TLM21]

Shelby they are adorable, double the fun! they look so good!

 

[Agiboma]

Hi all

how is everyone and their bumps doing today? special to those away from home and their loved ones.

 

[baby_maybe]

Aww shelby the girls are looking just gorgeous. I hope you get cleared from the apnea monitors soon

My high fluid was diagnosed at 32 weeks, but I suspect it was present a little earlier than that. Even still it's been at least 6 weeks now with that tight, under pressure, cant get my lungs full, uncomfortable feeling and I'm ready! To make matters worse with the breathing I've picked up a cough from one of my lovely girls so now I'm trying to take in breaths and end up hacking instead Ah well hopefully the end is in sight soon
