Oh and before I forget, here are some updated pictures of little Riya bean with her cpap off!! It has been close to 45 hours that she has had it off, really think this might be it for her! Only thing left on her list of things to do before she comes home is learning to feed! They said that could take a couple of weeks but we are expecting her to be home early December!! Fingers crossed of course!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous!! She's amazing Kiwi, you must be so proud of her. Good luck with the feeding, but if the past is anything to go by, she'll be great with it.

Has anyone experienced bad pains under right breast while sitting/eating?

I had excruciating rib pain with my first son. The only way I could get relief was laying on my side or reclining in a recliner. I hope you don't suffer too much if that's what it is!

She is so pretty! All babies are adorable (I LOVE LOVE LOVE BABIES!), but Riya doesn't really have that preemie look...she just looks like a perfect baby-just tiny. ADORABLE! She sounds like she's doing wonderfully!

Basically just letting you ladies know I won't be joining you for the January jelly beans. We are post pinning trying unitil April 2015 so wish us luck. All our test results including myself, my partner and our baby Sophia came back all clear and negative to any possible abnormality.

Hall Family...I am so very sorry you've had to endure this pain. I wish you nothing but the best in the future. And please seek help to deal with your pain if you find it necessary to do so.

Hall family, I'm so sorry please go easy on yourself and take care xx sending floaty kisses up to your sweet angel

Kiwi, love the pics of Riya without the cpap covering up her beautiful little smush! And that headband is just too cute, it's almost the size of her!

Just skim reading through, sorry if ive missed anything important out will try have a proper catch up this weekend. My hospital bag (suitcase!! But only a small weekend one) is pretty much done! I've packed 5 vests, 5 sleepsuits, 1 hat, 2 muslins, 1 pack of cotton pads, 1 pack of 24 size 1 nappies, a box of breast pads, 2 packs of maternity sanitary towels, 2 x 5 pack of disposable maternity briefs (sexy! ), 2 nighties, slippers, toiletries & a towel for me and I think that's it so far! Need to pack my dressing gown, lansinoh nipple cream when I get it, and maybe a pair of PJ's too. Will pack snacks closer to D-day!

Got my new pram today I am in love! I was planning on being a good girl and packing it away to use once baby gets here but DD2 loves it so I've taken the carrycot off and pushed the chassis into mono mode with the side basket and we'll test drive it a little before her sister arrives!

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thank you ladies

 

[sethsmummy]

I love it Tara! I was umming and ahhing over the oyster max so much as its so lightweight and lovely looking, but decided to go for a side by side as I had the iCandy pear with the girls and once DD2 was out of the carrycot she hated going in the back lower seat and DD1 wouldn't go in there for love nor money either little fusspots! DD2 loves the donkey so far, in fact she's barely gotten out of it all day! It's pretty wide, but as expected for a side by side double. It's not too bad though, as the seats are quite slim and the wheels are in line with the chassis rather than on the outside. And there's just so much storage! I do love a good basket

Some pram spam!

We went to our 3d scan yesterday- it was great! (The quality of the images wasn't so great though.)

The tech kept asking how far along I was, and saying "wow"... apparently he looks large for his age (he's already chubby)- she was thinking around 2 weeks ahead. She also said he's acting like he's further along than most she sees at this point because his eyes were open for most of the scan, and it was a constant battle trying to get his hands and feet out of his mouth.

Because of this battle, I'm pretty sure I'm bruised on the inside. Woke up last night in extreme pain when baby was kicking me! Still hurts when he moves this morning. Tech kept asking me if what she was doing hurt, and while it was a bit uncomfortable, it didn't hurt, so I didn't expect this!

Turns out our baby has (at least according to the scan) a full head of hair... and apparently some on his shoulders. lovely haha

At least he appears hefty- that makes me feel better in case anything crazy happens with my blood pressure in the next few weeks!

 

[Jennuuh]

Great scan SCgirl!

Kiwi - Riya is beautiful!! So glad she's making leaps and bounds and you might be able to bring her home soon!

Hall Family - I'm SO sorry to hear of your loss. I couldn't even imagine what you're going through. My thoughts are with you and your family. May Sophia fly high with the other angels.

 

[waiting2c]

Wow ladies those prams look awesome!!! I am so bad, I havent started to get organised yet, work is super busy at the moment and as only have five weeks till I finish I am going to have to work hard to get it all done. Figure I should have a month from finishing work to having baby and that is when i'll sort stuff out.

Have an appt with maternity doctors on Monday to work out birth plan, I am leaning towards c section as it's only way that alleviates all my anxiety but will see what they say.

Hall family I am so very sorry to read your post, take care of yourselves and I wish you all the best when you can try again.

Kiwi - loving the pics, she is doing so well!!!! Hopefully you take her home soon!!!

Hope you are all doing well!!

Lovely scan pic! It's amazing how much detail they can pick up, it must've been fantastic to see everything! I hope the bruised feeling goes away really soon.

Loving the prams ladies!

I've gotten a lot more organised since finishing my PhD; got a little bouncing chair, changing table, bath, some newborn nappies (still need to get the cloth ones organised, but wanted disposables for when we're in hospital), and I think we've almost got enough clothes sorted. Still need to sort out all the breast feeding stuff, pyjamas and things for myself, but that can all be done in a day. Can't believe how close we are all getting now ladies!

 

[hopeful2012]

So excited! Tomorrow is my birthday! We're going to my favorite Italian restaurant even all I want from there is breadsticks, salad, and soup. Then I think we're to create a baby registry at target, and all of this without fighting a 2 year old. I also just ordered my nursing covers and they should be here this week. I got the invitations done for the 2year olds party, looked through what I already have for it, and have pulled out the majority of the baby stuff I already have. Hopefully tomorrow morning I'll finish our laundry and can start washing baby things and packing our hospital bags.

 

[Luvspnk31]

Happy birthday!!! Hope it's a great day! I wasn't going to do a registry this time, but I got a target coupon for a $20 gift card when u create a registry. So, I thought , why not?!? Free $20!!!

Anyone back to not being hungry?? Nothing sounds good, and when I do eat I get horrible heartburn makes me not want anything. I had some rice earlier, cause I know I need to eat, and it seemed somewhat safe. Blah......

luvspnk - me! Im hardly ever hungry and go through TUMS like nothing on earth with my heartburn. Its awful!

its crazy to see us all getting organised! Its not going to be long before we have our babies in our arms. I need to do a mad dash for 0-3 as MIL was supposed to be buying it all and told me "dont buy anything as i have everything you will possibly need"... yeah.... i went through the 2 huge bags of clothes she brought up with her this week.... in 0-3 there is 8 vests, a hat, 1 set mits, 1 sleep suit, one top, one pants and 3 bibs So i have a lot of shopping to do when i thought i was almost done Dh and i are going to go and get it all at the start of next month hopefully! xx

 

[buddyIV]

Happy birthday hopeful! X

 

[wildchic]

Happy Birthday Hopeful

You ladies are really organized! I only have 5 sleepsuits which my mom bought, 2 tops, 2 pants, I've also got a few things that my dd never wore and I kept and a lot of bibs.
I need to start sorting myself out! We don't even have their cots yet!! I'm freaking out and dh is all calm, saying we still have enough time to get things! He doesn't realize that these babies can come whenever they want!!

I've also been at home since the beginning of November. Since I work for my dad, I've decided to stop working for the next year seeing that its twins. I hope I've made the right choice though!

Also, any of you ladies starting to get swollen? My hands and feet are swelling and it hurts! Is there anything I can use that will/can help?

Hope u all are doing great!

 

[x_WelshGirl_x]

Happy Birthday hopeful.

Hope everyone is ok. We've had such a busy weekend. On Saturday we went to the Trafford Centre, took Alex to the grotto to see Santa, was well worth the money. I didn't book so thank god there were spaces. I only bought little miss a hat and pack of socks lol. Everywhere was just so busy and Alex started getting naggy.
Yesterday we went to the Christmas shop then to toys r us and mothercare, seen the bouncer I want. Scarlett got spoilt by her daddy, another snowsuit and some tops, my mum got the leggings to go with them.

We're all not well in this household. Alex has had a cough and cold for a week now, almost didn't make playgroup as he got up late, he's hardly eating only yoghurts really, although he ate mcdonalds on Saturday. OH has cought it and I have it but only slightly, although was losing my voice this morning. Ugh. Roll on when we are all better. Alex isn't sleeping much due to coughing which means I'm not sleeping much.

Good news on the housefront, we have to go and sign later today (AGAIN), then the evaluation will get done. The solicitors are just waiting on the last search and the mortgage offer. The contract is ready to sign and they said we should definitely be in by Christmas. Aslong as I can get my tree up and the kids furniture I will be happy, nowhere will be getting decorated til atleast next year though.

 

[ttc_lolly]

Happy birthday Hopeful!

Wow wildchic, you're being super laid back about it all! Multiples generally come earlier too, don't they!?

Good news on the house front welsh girl! Hopefully there'll be no more hiccups and you're in ASAP!

I'm 33 weeks today! just 4 more until I hit full term. Scary! And under 50 days to go.... arghh!

 

[Jennuuh]

Happy belated birthday Hopeful!

Good luck with the housing Welshgirl! Hopefully it's smoother sailing from here on out!

Wildchic - We have so many clothes I have no idea what to do with them all. Our baby shower stuff was mainly newborn! I agree with Lolly though - Good for you for seeming so laid back about it all!

Wanted to put in a quick picture of our little lady from today - She's peeking her head out from between her knees! She always has her feet above her head! Also, from measurements, she weighs 3lbs 14oz and she's adorable.
