[QueenVic]

Glad you got some sleep Stace

[FloridaGirl21]

love your bump pic Vicki!

Stacey, glad you got some rest in

Ericka, how are you doing with LO? I bet your boys are excited to have a baby in the house

AFM, 7 weeks today and my babies are the size of blueberries!! My first prenatal appointment is tomorrow and I'm assuming that my Doctor will want to do his own scan to confirm that there are two babies in there.. Would love to see them again

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Wow!! Good that he's not nervous and talking about helping. That's great.

Are you starting to reconsider your plans for mat leave? You had said you planned to work right up until the birth, right? But you might need more rest and relaxation with twins...
What do you want? Two boys, two girls, or one of each?
This way, you and Jesse will each get to name one, so you can have your beautiful girl's name and he can have his Walker Texas Ranger.

Jen, I was just going back through looking for the link to our new siggy's and saw this post from you..

IDK if we can really afford for me to take off of work before birth. And if I take off of work before, then I've got to go back sooner after the babies are here.. I only originally planned on taking a week or two off (because I'm the only one bringing in an income) but now IDK.. I'm thinking maybe a month & then either a) asking my job to let me work part time afterwards or b) going back to work for State Farm part time afterwards. DH will obviously HAVE to get off his butt and get a job

I really would like one of each then I think I'll feel complete & maybe just have these to babies...

I know this boy name issue is going to turn into a fight with me and Jesse I think I've decided on Willow Abigail Coté. I was scared to be a little different and have Willow as a first name, but I really really love it.

 

[Sun_Flower]

Aww that's a beautiful girls name Ysa, I love it. I obviously am a fan of unusual first names, what with my baby being called Eden lol!

I'm deliberately not going to ask how Vicky is getting on, but I hope we hear some good news soon! xx

 

[lilrojo]

Hey ladies..

Hope your all well.. I have my 34 week appt tom too Ysa.. yay for appts.. Happy 7 weeks hun..

Stacey happy to hear you got some sleep finally.. I on the other hand was the complete opposite.. no sleep.. im exhausted today..

My plans are to do nothing..

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I feel like crap.
Headache and nausea. And peeing every five minutes.
But I know I can make it FIVE MORE WEEKS!!!

Ysa, don't you think you could be okay to take some time off if Jesse got a good job? It seems unfair for you to take the financial burden all on yourself.
Are you planning if it's one of each that you get to name the girl and he gets to name the boy?
Hehe I think I would feel complete if we had twins... no matter what gender they were! Although, after raising two babies at once... a single birth after that might seem like a cake walk!

I don't think Eden is that unusual... or Willow, for that matter... I think they're both very nice names. In general, I would say that we ladies of the STC are quite skilled baby-namers.

Logan-- maybe you'll get a nap in later? Looking forward to your appt tomorrow (and Ysa's!) since mine isn't 'til Thursday.

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Yeah, I might feel that regardless of the gender that two would be enough. But for sure if they are one of each then I think I'll be done. I've always wanted two to three, depending on what they were..

It is overwhelming but nice to think that it'll all be done in one shot.. IDK if I could go through MS like this again So to get two for the price of one is really rewarding

My mom can't keep herself out of Burlington Coat Factory since she's found out there was two. Thankfully she hasn't bought anything, I've made her promise to wait till second tri, but she's obsessed right now with double strollers. And OMG, they can be so expensive!

I think that if Jesse got a decent job, he still wouldn't make as much as I do, so IDK how that would work out. If he could make what I do then I could be a SAHM and I'd be in heaven But I doubt he'd ever put that much effort into a carrier.

 

[sept10]

went to mw yesterday....she reckons baby is still back to back and the head is loose so not in any way engaged...she also said that could mean i go over my due date..haha...oh well!!

she also said they wait 12 days after due date before any induction etc...its odd cause in liverpool whcih is only 10 miles down the road they only wait 10 days...thats the one thing that does annoy me about the nhs ...the inconsistancy.....anyway baby will come when he/she is ready x

ysa - goodluck with your appt!!

 

[AmaryllisRed]

I bet double strollers are expensive!! Haha but better your mom than you, right? Grandmas are pretty crazy during the process... they're fun to watch.

Maybe Jesse could be a stay-at-home dad? Once you have taken a little mat leave, of course. Idk, though... I'm guessing it would be hard to try and work from home when your babies are right there... Would you be able to do what you do now and still take care of the babies (or maybe just one if Jesse had the other one)?

Sarah-- Yay! We could have another February baby!! Not that I'm wishing you to go eight days over...

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I'd be able to do like half of my work with a baby in the room.. Hard to answer calls and feedings, etc though I think.

Sarah, hopefully you don't go too overdue hun!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Ysa just count yourself lucky you're not living in England - Twin strollers start at the equivalent of $400 over here, and that's the cheaper ones! xx

 

[FloridaGirl21]

yikes! I like this one and it's $200, which really isn't bad at all. It seems to have lots of options!

 

[Sun_Flower]

That's gorgeous, and you're right it has a lot of good options!

Don't know if you can see but this is a discount online store - it's a reputable company but these are the cheapest you can get each of these particular strollers - just a way of all you american ladies to see how much things are over here, I know we've discussed it before

www.pramworld.co.uk

 

[FloridaGirl21]

omgawd! there is a "pushchair" similar to the one I like at Burlington Coat Factory and it's equivalent to $1,182 US dollars That's almost 6 times the price!

 

[Sun_Flower]

I have no idea how they can justify charging us that much over here when you get pretty much the same thing in the USA for a quarter of the money - especially considering they were probably made in the same place overseas somewhere!

 

[lilrojo]

Sarah fxed you dont go too far overdue.. hey maybe you will surprise everyone and go into labor next week..
