Hang in there halfthyme :hugs: love love love the mural!!

I am hoping to hold out till November 1st and keep October as my other daughters month :)

Fantastic appointment with our GD counselor and nutritionist today!!! No weight gain again, but no loss either WOOHOO!! Best part of all is I'm cleared to not go back for SIX weeks because my glucose testing numbers and diet have been sooo good and I also don't have to test 4 times a day anymore just once a day :yipee: I'm super proud!!!
 
oh my gosh, halfthyme!!!!! that mural is way beyond perfect!!!! i'm so sorry about all the baby stresses! :hugs: but it sounds like your doc is being super attentive and keeping your little lady safe and healthy!
 
eek halfthyme sounds scary! But the other ladies are right, at least your Dr is being extra attentive! :)
 
i had my 28week appointment yesterday and apparantly i have to do the gtt-first time i had heard about it.
I've been booked in for 9am monday, not looking forward to it as cant eat or drink after midnight so i'm going to be starving!
 
So glad to hear your appointment went well, MommyH! :)

Best of luck on your GTT, Lucy. At least they have you in early in the morning!
 
You guys are the best! Thanks for all the compliments -- I still can't believe I pulled it off! Thanks also for the words of encouragement -- you ladies are priceless! I'm feeling a bit more calm today after getting the shots done last night and meeting with the specialist. I don't think things are as dire as originally thought and they are just being very, very, very cautious.....which is waaaaay better than the alternative.

MommyH -- what fantabulous news!!! If I could jump right now without being in pain, I would jump for joy for you! lol What a great reward for being so diligent!

Stephers -- you nailed it! I think they forget that it's our first time, even though it's probably their 500th time. Pre-Internet I bet it was just like you said -- kitchen table with steady coffee and cigs! Heck, even post-Internet before I got married that was always where my friends and I ended up....at the kitchen table with packs of cigs and coffee everywhere (I smoked for 10 years before quitting 3 years ago), and a steady stream of information :)
 
Has anyone watched "What to Expect When You're Expecting"? DH and I watched it together last night and it was so cute! I loved that he got a glimpse of what I'm actually going through (albeit, a more exaggerated version). He asked tons of questions during the movie... I would definitely recommend watching it with your guys... especially right now :)
 
Mrs we also watched it last night after dinner, very cute and my hubby reacted the same way with questions and a lot of my responses were 'oh you just wait and see' lol he about died at all the hormonal stuff saying 'that's is so you!' lol
 
oh maybe i will watch it tonight!! its our 2nd wedding anniversary today!! just having dinner and hanging out.. my Dh is in bed by 10pm sharp lol. we might do something this weekend but really we'd rather save the money or by baby stuff this year instead.

i was just looking through wedding pics and damn was i skinnier and more tan :haha:
 
Congrats Wishful. My hubby and I will celebrate our 11th wedding anniversary on Sat. Yes we got married 4 days after 9/11 happened and it was very hard and stressful. I have been wanting to watch that so maybe this weekend when my hubby is home unless he decides to FINALLY paint the girls room. We shall see!
Had a checkup today and everything is going smoothly, the girls hbs are 145, and 140(pretty average) and I am fully closed and high.
However the one rant I do have is they want to see me every week, I have 2 NST tests a week and a growth scan once a month, so I have all my nsts scheduled for the next month and my growth scan is next week so I say, I need a Monday or Thursday appointment next week, and they inform me they are COMPLETLY booked for the next MONTH! WTH....I have to be seen every WEEK and they have NOTHING, not going to work, she said I will have to call you if we have a cancelation or something. I was sooo pissed, shouldnt the pregnant women that NEED to be seen EVERY week have first priority on an appointment? and why are they scheduling all the time slots every day and have NOTHING, what if someone had an emergency? I hate the new manager of the office, she is an idiot and no one likes her.
Ok rant over,....sorry
 
Congrats, Wishful! Hope you have a fab dinner out!

AMM, my brother also got married shortly after 9/11 and it was kinda nuts. I remember having to fly home for the wedding and everything was mass chaos. They had just started cracking down on security and I randomly had a fork and a screwdriver in my purse (don't ask lol) and I totally got searched/questioned/the whole nine yards. My sister was flying with me and she was absolutely mortified! I don't think she's flown with me since. I bet you remember your wedding day very well! On a side note, I so feel your pain! I ran into the same problem with NSTs as well, and I'm ending up having to do some at the hospital because my doc's office just can't accommodate. I can't believe they wouldn't squeeze you in -- especially if the doc ordered weekly growth scans! You should totally take precedence over other patients since the doc ordered it and since you're later on in pregnancy (and of course, lest we forget you're carrying twins, which trumps everything else in my book lol). :dohh: The office manager sounds like a piece of work! What's the lesson we learn in this? Some people should have obtained a license to breed before they had children who would grow up and be ridiculously unhelpful medical staff. :haha:
 
Hi ladies. So, I was away yesterday and just caught up. We're all getting so close its crazy!
Small update on everything: Cousins baby got to come home yesterday (a day later than mom) so we went and saw her. She's so tiny and precious! Reminded me of when my 2nd was born. My dad has surgery on October 10th and my mom is hanging in there.
As for me: I really don't know how to handle all this pain I'm having. I definitely have SPD and there is really nothing that can be done. I just hope all the pain goes away soon after birth. My tailbone is killing me!
My husband and girls are leaving Friday for 10 days out of state. I am worried that something will happen while they're gone but my doctor didn't seem to think so this early. So, I'm going to just relax and sleep as much as I want. I won't have a 2 & 4 year old running around crazy...lol
 
Happy Anniversary, Wishful :) & Happy upcoming Anniversary to you, too, AMM! :)

AMM - I agree with HalfThyme that a twin pregnancy should trump everything! I can't believe they don't have any appointments available... did you talk to the office manager only or have you brought it up with your doctor as well?

Ashley - I feel like I should know this, but what is SPD?
 
This is the best thing I could find to explain:
The two halves of your pelvis are connected at the front by a stiff joint called the symphysis pubis. This joint is strengthened by a dense network of tough, flexible tissues, called ligaments. To help your baby pass through your pelvis as easily as possible, your body produces a hormone called relaxin. Relaxin softens your ligaments.

As a result, your pelvic joints move more during and just after pregnancy, causing inflammation and pain. This condition is known as symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD).


Walking, standing, rolling in bed, getting in car, bending, etc. all are painful because of a dang hormone!! Ugh! lol
 
Ah! Gotcha! Thanks for the explanation ;)

So sorry to hear you're dealing with that! I know it's uncomfortable for me without SPD so I can only imagine. At least you'll have a few childless days to rest and relax. I know you'll be stressed while they're gone, but try to take advantage of it and lay in bed and veg out as much as you possibly can :)
 
Thanks Mrs. Yeah, that's my plan. ;) I've been waiting to pack my bag and babys bag til they leave so that I'll have something to do...

Happy Anniversary to you ladies! :)
 
Happy Anniversary Wishful :)

Ashley - I wonder if that's what I have ... it hurts so much around my lower pelvis - mainly the bones that connect my thighs to my vajayjay - know the bones I mean? And on the right side there is a constant burning sensation? :shrug: I just try to grin and bear it.

I got back ache today too - was wondering how long that would take!
 
Possibly CharlieKeys-I've had the pain since 16 weeks. It has gotten to the point that I can barely stand long enough to shower. Then, I have to sit to do makeup, blowdry hair or anything like that. At night it gets worse. I had nothing like this with my other 2.
