Figured you ladies would find this amusing. I love my mom and dad and they love each other. Thus they 'tease/prank' each other when given a perfect opportunity.

So my mom found out about baby boy's gender 20 minutes after our scan. Got the balloons put them in the box stopped at her house. She was excited/thrilled. Daddy worked until 5:30. He called my mom at 4:30 or so and asked about the gender. She lied saying it was another girl and how we are going to try for a third. SO MEAN!!!

Daddy comes home he wasn't going to open the box since he already knew kind of thing. Well he decided to anyway and said, "These aren't pink." looks at my mom and called her a jerk.

When I asked my mom why she did that she goes, "I had to wait to find out gender he can wait too." I just look at her and said, "You waited 20 minutes! He has waited all day!" XD I'm sure daddy is happy though since at like 6 weeks he goes to Claire while playing with her saying, "You're going to have a baby brother to play with soon." Like it didn't even phase him he just 'knew' it was a boy and trust me he doesn't do/say stuff like that.

Sure has been quiet in here. Barb, I hope all is well. I try to stay updated from your blog and the looks of things, things seem to be getting better. That's great!

Mowat, hoping your move went well and you are settling in. With luck maybe you'll be all unpacked. I know it took awhile for me to get fully unpacked when we moved into our first home. How are the twins? You are nearing 30 weeks, so exciting!

Sis, hope you're doing well. I can't remember when you said your apt would be. If I missed it I hope it went well if I didn't can't wait for it! I feel bad for forgetting ^^;;

Not much new here. Logan has been kicking around hasn't been on my bladder as much which is nice. I decided to try to slowly clean the house from top to bottom between now and end of May. We're having another rummage sale either last weekend in May or first weekend in June. Sadly I don't know if I'll be able to be in charge of it like I usually am XD My mom will take over though if baby decides to come early.

I already have one tote of Claire's old clothes gone through and marked and hung up some of the nicer outfits. I also took out some of her neutral onesies and put them aside for Logan. I've also slowly been buying stuff for him XD I'm not really a Brewers fan (baseball) but my parents are and I found a Brewer shirt with Hank the dog on it on clearance for 1.59 so why not XD Can't argue that price! I even found some shorts for him when he's a bit older XD 12, 18, and two 24 months. They were all 1.00 each! Brand new at Kohls. So had to snatch them up.

Yesterday I went through a bunch of paperwork that we kind of let build up the past year. We say we wont let it get like that but we always do. Mike nor I enjoy going through and filing the paperwork. Took me 2 hours to do so not too bad.

I want to focus more on Claire's big girl room, but I have to wait for Mike to run wires and get a new wireless card and crap for his computer. He has some big fancy idea that he thinks will work, and if it does work it sounds like it would be a good idea. Sadly he's not in any rush to do it. -_- I told him it has to be done by March 1st cause Claire is going to try to take naps in there for a month or two before she fully moves into the room. We shall see though. I'm excited that we got our new furniture last Friday and I can start moving some of Claire's bigger outfits into it if I want.

I also find this so amusing and weird. So I bought two shirts from Disney store for Claire and they are the xxs which is a size 2/3 . Figured it'd be a little big but should be good for around summer. They are a lot big. Well I bought some clearance 3t shirts for her at Target the other day and they fit her now! I compared the shirts side by side and the Disney ones are about 3 inches longer than the 3t from Target!!! This is why I get so annoyed when telling people Claire's size cause she literally is in anything from 18months to 3T!

My appointment is Thur I will let u know what they say!!

 

[nimbec]

Hi everyone i just wanted to let you know i'm lurking occasionally. Hope you are all well!

Congrats on the boy butterfly they are FAB....not that i'm bias of course hehe!

Good luck with the appt sis

Barbs i'm reading your blog

Mowat 30 weeks yikes!!!!

Hi everyone else

No news here apart from no IVF until at least next Jan long story but heres to hoping it happens naturally....i'm not on here so much as i have to focus on other things but just wanted to let you all know i still pop in from time to time xx

 

[mowat]

Hi guys. Sorry I've been so bad about updating----I've just been either completely exhausted or in some sort of crap mood and not wanting to update. I'm assuming it's all hormonal! Left the post office the other day and I was so exhausted from waiting in line and then not getting what I wanted (a key to my new mailbox!) that I burst into tears when I got in the car. Oh dear.

So I'll suck it up and update. Yep, nearing 30 weeks and feeling the pain. We moved two weekends ago and I could barely move for days. Somehow I went from being completely fine to being massively painfully pregnant in now time flat! Even little things put me completely out of breath some days. Just absolutely amazing. Still haven't gained much weight, but I'm definitely much bigger. Babies seem fine and are crazy active most days. Have doctor, obstetrician and ultrasound appointments next week so I'll know more then.

House is still a mess, but we're slowly unpacking. At least we have more room! Trying to decide where to spend the little reno money we have. Think we'll definitely paint the baby room so I haven't set anything up yet. Sure hope they don't come too early.

To top it all off the "eczema" I thought I had may be shingles. What! Still don't believe the diagnosis, but I guess we'll see what the pills do. One more thing I don't need!

Hi to everyone!

 

[Sis4Us]

Mowat so sorry u r having a rough time but I can understand I was like that w one so two has to be worse BIG
Just try and take it day by day as your hormones will probably throw a new one at u every day!!

 

[butterflywolf]

Sis, tomorrow's the apt woot! Can't wait to be updated on what they say.

Nimbec, I know boys are fab XD Gatlin, he's a kid I use to babysit way back when, he was 16 months when i started to babysit him and I loved it. He's 16 now I think...or close to it. He's all grown up ... I don't see him much now but it's amazing. XD

I'm sorry you don't get any IVF for an entire year Really hoping you'll conceive naturally this year! Hope all is well though with you!

Mowat, it's understandable. Your life is hectic right now! And aww gotta love pregnancy hormones lol. I haven't burst into tears yet, but my eyes will start to get moist over the stupidest of things. Usually some commercial I'll see on T.V. One of my friends when she was pregnant, every time she heard sirens she would burst out crying because someone out there was hurt. I felt bad for her and could only imagine how she felt with that. I prayed I wouldn't get like that.

I'm sure you're much bigger as well as the babies! Glad they are quite active. I haven't gained anything right now. :/ Doctor said he isn't too concerned but would like me to start gaining soon. It didn't help with being sick two weekends ago. And I swear I'm eating! Just I can't gain. I'm hoping to have gained at least one pound come the 20th of Feb. (next apt). Can't wait to hear how your next apt. goes.

House is still suppose to be a mess at this stage I think XP You have a lot of unpacking I am sure. And I know you are loving the more room! I love painting rooms XD Getting the perfect color combo and then seeing how it looks afterwards gosh i love it!

And shingles! Really!? That's really shocking...the only people that I know who have had it one was in her 70's the other my grandpa in his 90's. You're way too young to be having shingles! I do hope it clears up though whatever it is.

Wow I had a lot of typo's I had to fix in this post...I'm blaming it on the massive migraine/headache I woke up with X_X It's horrible. I literally can't move. If I move it hurts so bad. The light isn't too bad but then again it isn't too bright right now. Sound is bugging me though and of course every toy Claire plays with today is the loudest ones she can find XD

 

[Sis4Us]

My appointment went well Except for A Huge cyst on my left ovary Again she's hoping it's due to O I'm afraid it needs to be Asperated Again
But the new FS has more testing she wants me to do a 2hr Glucose yay for me
She thinks metformin might be an option for me and maybe even Levenox so I'm glad to have more options!!

Woot! Glad you can get it done right away! Hopefully you can get it done.

 

[nimbec]

Thanks everyone I'm ok got my head out of the shed so to speak!

Mowat (((hugs)))) I remeber how hard one was nevermind two! I agree don't worry about house being chaos that's perfectly normal even when not preggy with twins!!

Butterfly gosh can't believe how far along you are now! Eek! Fx your migrane doesn't hang around long! It's awful looking after littleones when unwell

Sis fx you test goes well today - I have been on metformin about 7 months now & it has actually regulated my cycles and I think dare I say it ovulate alone without meds - well worth a try! I still can't take full dose as they make me puke haha fun times! Good luck!!

Hi barbs hope your enjoying the precious new born stage

Hi anyone I've missed !

 

[Sis4Us]

Well the new Dr never called me back to set up the glucose today and I don't think they r in office today!!! I was afraid this would be a problem w them!!

Becky yes I've heard it makes u kinda afraid of that part but I'm willing to try anything at this point

 

[butterflywolf]

Becky (Okay going to try once more to remember names when I can take no offense if I don't remember your name XD Names are honestly hard for me to remember). I'm doing a lot better. Migraine is gone. The next day I had the residue where if I coughed or sneezed my head hurt where the migraine was, but that is the only time it hurt. And now that it's another new day it's completely gone.

Sis, Aww I'm sorry you can't take the test today. Hopefully within the next week you can. I'm assuming they are closed for the weekend? So hopefully Monday if it works out.

 

[Sis4Us]

It's quite in here hope everyone is well!! I have my test set up for 9:15 in the morning hopefully I can make it I've been so in the AM I have to eat of I throw up weird I know!!!

 

[butterflywolf]

That was one of the signs for me for pregnancy XP I wake up in the morning hungry and if I didn't eat I'd throw up yellow bile. Hopefully you can keep it down tomorrow, Sis.

Not much here but noticing a growing bump
https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v251/finalwolf/weekbyweek21_zpsehc1bes2.jpg

It really is amazing how different Logan is compared to Claire. Claire didn't move often and if she did it was always high up plus I had a higher bump. Logan on the other hand prefers being lower (thus lower bump) and kicking near bladder majority of the time.

Otherwise that's it for an update with me. How is everyone doing?

 

[mowat]

Nice bump Butterfly! Good luck with the test tomorrow Sis!

Two doctor's appointments for me today---good times. Lost another few pounds since the last appointment four weeks ago. Doctor didn't seem too concerned although she wrote lots of notes. Hmmm. Blood pressure is still normal. I think these babies are just going to suck the life out of me! Trying to enjoy every moment as crazy as that sounds.

I shouldn't say I'm glad I see someone else not gaining weight...but I'm kind of glad to see it ^^;; I'm back to slightly below what I started this pregnancy. Doctor didn't seem concerned last time but he said he would like to see me start to gain soon. :/ Trust me I eat, just apparently Logan wants it all lol. And keep us updated on the apts. Can't believe it 30 weeks for you in a few days!

Sis hope all goes well with your test!

 

[mowat]

Had an ultrasound today and everything looked good! I decided to bring my DS to this one, and right before, I started panicking there might be a problem (even though I'd been feeling the babies move all day). Funny how I just can't believe I'm going to have a perfectly normal ultrasound.

 

[Sis4Us]

So glad u r both doing well!!!
