how exciting to feel them move and be 100% sure its the baby!! Can't wait!!

 

[wana b a mom]

thank you girls!! It is so hard not to worry... I can't wait for Tuesday to get here; however, regardless of what the scan says I don't want to do Amnio as it wouldn't matter anyway (we wouldn't terminate pregnancy or anything). I always say: "God doesn't give you something that you can't handle" so I am going to take it one step at the time... just keep praying.

drsquid, did I miss something? I didn't know you were team blue and pink! congrats!!!!! that's so cool!!

 

[roxane1986]

I like how you think wana!! Everything will be fine!! xo

Yeh, Drsquid, didnt realise that.. when did you find out you were having a girl and a boy? Congrats thats awesome!!

 

[drsquid]

wanna and rox- yup team purple. never wanted to know but.. the boy kept flashing me so i couldnt ignore it. my dad kept having dreams it was 2 boys so... i had to know, at 14 weeks we were pretty sure the other was a girl but no one was willing to say 100%. at my anatomy scan at 17 weeks it was pretty clear. and i did amnio so.. genetics confirmed it.

 

[roxane1986]

Well thats just awesome drsquid!!! One of each!!! YAY!!! Congrats

 

[noasaint]

Congrats on the name roxane!!!

Wana, I know it's tough to not worry. I was about the same when told 1/150 but after some more tests and seeing a gentic counselor it got done to 1/1800. I'm sure it will be fine, will send prayers your way.

So glad you're feeling kicks Lindy, weird though isn't it? LOL

Drsquid, I bet with twins the movement must be double. At times I do wish I was having twins. How are you feeling these days?

AFM, it's been a while I think since I've posted. Forgot which thread I had updated but I don't think it was this one. I've been reading but not posting, been tired and trying hard to accept things. Work stress if awful again too. So we found out two weeks ago we're having a girl. It was 100% clear and I didn't handle it well. Yes, I'm thrilled to be having a baby period but DH and I so desperately wanted a boy. I felt like I had let everyone down (his side of the family is nothing but a long line of only boys.) I'm just now feeling better about it and getting excited about buying things and decorating the room. The anatomy scan went well then we saw the perinatologist and thankfully Baby L shows no signs of the heart condition my brother had and ultimately passed away from. I was relieved. We did give her a name, starts with a "L" but won't announce till birth which is kinda helping, I like having a secret from everyone since it seems everyone around me feels they are entitled to know everything about my pregnancy. She is measuring a little on the small side but still in normal range ( I was only a 5 pound baby so this is fine with me!). On Wednesday I felt the first kicks, it was so incredibly weird. Kinda felt like how my stomach feels on a roller coaster but I was perfectly still. Felt them since then although it's only at night and a few times. That's about it, just working on my registry online and comparative shopping for the big ticket items to keep my mind focused on the end result.

 

[roxane1986]

Oh congrats on a lil girl!!
I think I feel movement too but not 100% sure but never felt this before so I giess its the baby lol

 

[drsquid]

noasaint- best explanation i can give is that it feels like when your eye twitches.. like a muscle spasm sort of. do you agree at all? mind you there is another thing only the boy seems to do where he must be pushing out from the placenta cause i get a hard ridge under the skin and it feels crazy weird. he flipped head down again so he hasnt been doing it

got my car today. doesnt feel like mine.. serioulsy? i got a car wiht a touch screen etc/. but the hd radio rocks etc. oh and i set up my foscam internet cam. wanted a cam that i could use as a baby monitor that i could access from work or my phone etc. read it was hard to set up but it really really wasnt. (couldnt get it to connect to wireless... someone said unplug and re plug... viola). the port forwarding was a joke after i read that it was hard. so far i havent paid for an app (still thinking). on the mac you cant get audio on a browser.. sigh, but there is another free program that lets you listen (but then you cant pan and zoom). downloaded a few free apps which seem to let you do one or the other (drive the cam, or listen) but... when they are infants i really only wanna be able to see and hear them., they arent moving anywhere. totally recommend it.

Nosaint- congratulations on your baby girl and good scan results. She will be a much loved and cherished baby by all your family's.

Wana- you have a fantastic attitude. I hope and pray everything is ok with LO.

I got my new car, old one was a two seater. This one is lovely but slower and bigger BUT I stupidly went through a speed camera I go through everyday at 60 instead of 50 because the dial is different. Aaaaaggghh!!! 3 points and a fine which I have never had. Sooooo mad over it. Also starting to stress about sorting cover for work. Really struggling as two of us are off on mat leave at same time. Hopefully have me covered- I really hope I have- discussing with possibilities Tuesday but still need cover for other girl. I'm Sooo stressed

 

[noasaint]

Yes drsquid that's it!!! Almost like an eye twitch but in the belly. So far its always on my left side only. DH wants one of those cams too even though I will be a SAHM. Will check out the foscam thanks.

Everyone getting new cars? Lol me too but not till Jan. Slow down speedy a/k/a Lindy

 

[drsquid]

lindy- bummer sorry.. yay for new car though. i also had a two seater (mazda miata ie mx5). everyone keeps asking me if im gonna sell it... umm i paid $5000 for it in 2005.. what would be the point to getting rid of it.. it is a 96. it is theoretically worth a few thousand (more to collectors though it is automatic). but itll be nice to have a commuter car.

noasaint- glad you agree.. so hard to come up with an explanation for the sensation. i wanted to get the car now. give me a chance to drive it before i end up having the nanny drive it. let the new car attachment wear off before i have to share,.

 

[Lindylou]

Saw mw today. Next appointment I will be 32 weeks!!!! WOW!!! Said
Everything going well. Right size, BP good and heard lovely 130bpm heart beat

 

[wana b a mom]

hey girls!!!

today's ultrasound went well. Doctor said that the risk went down to 1 in 400ish (I can' t remember the actual number) from 1 in 165 because the scan looked normal. He also said he cannot guarantee anything unless we do amniocentesis, which I declined becasue it really wouldn't change our decision if having the babies regardless.
So we also found out the sex of the babies: we are having 2 boys!!!!!! we are so happy!!!
I go back in 2 weeks for a check up (actually I see both doctors in 2 weeks, one day the high risk pregnancy specialist and also my OBGYN) I will be seeing the specialist every 2 weeks until I'm 25 weeks, then every 4 weeks until I'm 34 weeks then every week until 38 weeks (C Section).

 

[roxane1986]

Great news wana!!! Congrats for ur two baby boys!! So exciting!!!

 

[Lindylou]

Congratulations wannabe on 2 lovely boys and good news with your scan. Fabulous news!!! So we now have pink/blue twins blue/blue twins and a blue bundle. All so exciting ! What are your due dates? I know twins are earlier. My bump is 4th feb, dh birthday. X

 

[drsquid]

im technically due the 6th of march but itll be some time in feb

 

[Lindylou]

They usually say twins 4weeks early so we may be around the same time

 

[roxane1986]

Ill be way after you ladies!! Im due April 4th and doubt I will be early!! lol Ill get to hear all about your birth stories before I live it myself!! eeekk! Maybe not such a good thing haha!

 

[wana b a mom]

I'm due April 13th but the doctor yesterday said I should schedule Csection 2 weeks prior (38 weeks) so that's March 30th (around). Twins are considered full term at 37 weeks, so I think he's suggesting going 1 week over if possible (a lot of twins are delivered earlier).

I'm starting a list of things I'll need.... if you guys want to share some of your "must haves" that would be awesome.
Drsquid, let me know what products you have heard are a must for twins, please. I'm going to get one of those snap n go carriages instead of a 2 seat side by side strollers for now... I've heard they are more convenient.
How much clothing items should I get? I read somewhere that for twins I should get about 14 onesis, 14 sleepers, 14 swaddling blankets (I'm getting the ones you can also have as burping clothes), 14 pairs of socks.... that's to start with right?

 

[noasaint]

Congrats Wana!!

What's a blue bundle?
