She did it to herself she just can't stay outta trouble I feel sorry for her kids more than anything!!

 

[butterflywolf]

Aww, yea I usually feel bad for children in probably the situation your sis is like. I hope her children are doing well though.

 

[mowat]

Oh SIs I'm really hoping for you! Come on baby!

Had my 20 week ultrasound today. It was over 90 minutes---I thought I wouldn't make it I got so uncomfortable. Before I went in I had convinced myself there would be a problem, but both babies seemed to be fine. Not sure about the cervix measurements as the tech was not talkative. I guess I'll know if the doctor calls.

 

[Sis4Us]

Did u find out Gender??? I gotta know if my guess was right BOy Girl???

 

[mowat]

No, I didn't ask, and she didn't even start to mention it. She took a couple of shots near the end where I thought I might accidentally see, but it wasn't super obvious---it was from below and could have been either set of parts! Still hoping for boy/girl, but we're working on four names just in case. I did buy one lavender coloured hat because I couldn't resist! Doesn't matter, my almost five year boy loves a bright pink toque I bought him for pink day at school.

We're having trouble trying to decide on last names. Our son has Dh's last name as a middle name, and my last name as his real last name. The first twin will have the opposite of that, but what do we do for the next one? I think we should just flip a coin---seems like the easiest thing to do.

How is everyone today?

 

[Sis4Us]

That's the 1st I've heard of that about the last names my DS1 has his Bio dads last name and he hates it he's almost 18 and we will change his name to my DHs last name legally then!! Actually his whole name will change since he goes by his middle name and will need a middle name, he's thinking of using myDads middle name!! It will make his Papa proud!!

I'm ok have had a Horrid headache ALL day hope it's a good sign and not a bad one!!

I have Thanksgiving in 5days then Ds2s Bday a week after that so I gotta get stuff in order !!

 

[butterflywolf]

I never gave much thought with last names. Always was going to be my DH's last name since that is mine too. Though I really tried to get him to take my last name but he refused BOO!! (My maiden name is sadly a name that will end up phasing out Out of my dad's siblings all their children only 2 boys have the last name and out of those two boys pretty sure neither are going to marry and/or have children). So it will come down to the further distant relations to have them carry and that's small too.

And I'm good boobs hurt today though but other than that we're good.

How's everyone today?

https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/finalwolf/IMG_1117_zps1074c5cf.jpg this is how we are announcing on FB on Thursday on Thanksgiving. We will be 12 weeks exactly

Not exactly how I wanted to let everyone know but we did a tester run on Saturday with our game night friends and it didn't go well. So this was our back up and I still am loving it ^^ Took forever to get though someone would not smile or be happy! I told Claire if she's going to be like this I'll just do the eviction notice and then a few moments later I got this pic XD So she must not have liked that idea with eviction lol

 

[butterflywolf]

Barbs, I am so happy your baby shower went so well and that in a couple of more days you will be 35 weeks! It's exciting just two more weeks until 37. Just stay in there a little longer baby boy, got that?

Sis, I see you went last night for blood work, can't wait to see what your results are hopefully some time this morning. Hope they are great numbers!

 

[Sis4Us]

Well My HCG dropped to 89!!!

 

[butterflywolf]

No!!!! T_T *hugs* I am so so so so so sorry. It isn't fair!

 

[wannabemummyb]

Sis, I am so sorry xx

 

[eyemom]

Oh no, dang there's a limit how much one woman should have to go through. I'm so sorry.

 

[nimbec]

Oh gosh I'm so sorry hun!!! (((((Hugs))))))

Barbs yay for enjoying your shower xxx

 

[mowat]

So sorry Sis. There are no words.

 

[butterflywolf]

Today is Thanksgiving here where I live so Happy Thanksgiving from our family to yours! I'm not sure about DH but for me I truly feel blessed this Thanksgiving. 12 weeks pregnant, a beautiful healthy almost 16 month old, loving husband, two great dogs, my awesome parents, what else do I need. Truly thankful and blessed.

 

[barbikins]

Butterfly, thank you! Yeah I can't believe I am going to be 35 weeks tomorrow! I made it THIS far! I still need to get to 37 weeks to feel better about it.

Mowat, are you planning to keep the gender a surprise? Interesting regarding the last names. I took my husband's name so our boy will just have his.

Sis, I'm so...so...soo sorry. I was hoping this was it for you. It's so unfair.
My heart goes out to you xo

 

[mowat]

Wow, 35 weeks!

Yes, we're hoping to keep the genders a surprise. The heartbeats are pretty different if that means anything.... Probably not! Yeah, we each kept our names so it makes naming children difficult. We'll come up with something.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone in the US!

I made the announcement and I finally feel like this pregnancy is semi real XD I think I'm still in disbelief a little and I was often in disbelief with Claire until 20 weeks. However, this go around this baby is often reminding me he/she is there. Yesterday morning I threw up for the first time (yellow bile so just meant I was really hungry). Currently I'm back to having to eat something around midnight again -_- and even then it's no guarantee that I wont feel sick in the morning. Last night I ate a cheese sandwich at 12:45 and this morning at 8 I felt like I was going to puke because of how HUNGRY I was again -_- Thankfully I have only gained about a pound so far but jeez I feel like I'm eating 24/7.

Usually after I eat in the morning though I don't feel ill for the rest of the day as long as I have snacks and eat good meals. I really don't recall having to do this with Claire at all.


How are you lovely ladies doing today?

Today is Black Friday and we were debating about going out for a toddler bed for Claire but I managed to find it at walmart.com (I hate that store though) but it's the same bed elsewhere so we ordered it up for the same price! We also got a toy organizer and a toddler bedding set along with the toddler bed for 100 bucks. It's all Frozen theme and I can't wait to finish her room!!! All she needs now once we get those via UPS is a dresser/nightstand/ and a pillow! Then her room is done! She'll be moving into her big girl room April 5th (Easter). She'll be 20 months. Gosh I hope she will like it!

As far as heart rate is concerned, it doesn't mean anything. My boy's heart rate has been in the 140s, 150s & when he gets really active & excited, 160s and as high as 170. So it really is up to how active babies are when the heart rate is being monitored.
Are they going to try and get you to 37 weeks with the twins? What's the plan?

Butterfly, congrats!!! It's always more real when everyone knows. No hiding!
Yep I got very nauseated if I allowed myself to get hungry. Just keep eating! Lots of snacks.
I did all my Christmas shopping and now that I'm not working I have to watch the funds, so no major Black Friday shopping here. I will buy my husband's Christmas gift today later, and I'll cash in on the sale today for that one.
