~*Team 2012 Baby*~ ladies arriving from our TTC #1 Team 2012 find your friends here!

[josephine3]

Happy birthday wills! Time sure flies when u have kids! Was just thinking its been very quiet here recently!
Are there still some pregnant team 2012ers lurking here i forget?
Also did anyone ever find out what happened to rosa and her twins?
Anyhow i got my new double pushchair the other day woo! Its a britax b agile double, im really pleased with it other than he fact it doesant fit thru the front door i did measure it but apparently did it wrong.. Im just hoping now it will fit on the bus! I measured that too but apparently i suck at t lol. At least its mega easy to fold but i dont fancy doing that on the bus especially when full of shopping...

Wilsey- sounds like he had a wonderful day celebrating I think all of our LO's are spoiled haha

Jo- I agree super quiet around here. But yay you are 34 weeks!! That's exciting!

AFM- not pregnant yet but I did finally get AF on April 17. Pretty sure I O'd a couple of days ago so in the TWW now. DH and I didn't get to BD much because he was away from work. Luckily he can home the night before I O'd! FX'd!
I am charting and so far this is what it looks like. I think my temp is super high because I've been sick the last 3 days.

 

[Mrs W 11]

I wondered what happened with rosa too. Hopefully she is just way too busy being a mummy to 2 babies to get online!

Still ttc here too. I got pregnant so easily before this is all new to me and I'm finding it very hard. X

 

[josephine3]

Aww Mrs W im sure it wont be long! At least u have one already to keep ur mind off it!
Am i the only pregnant lady lurking round here then? I thought there was another...

 

[jmandrews]

No I think it's just u now that we have had two losses but I may be missing someone.

 

[Wilsey]

I think armywife is pregnant from memory! She's further behind you though jo. I'm going to feel so bad if she was one of the losses

 

[jmandrews]

Yes she is! I did forget one army is 24 weeks 5 days today!

 

[Wilsey]

How're you feeling Jo? Ready?

Baby dust for the TTCers

 

[armywife11]

Yea I am almost 25 weeks now. I was away for a bit, went home to see family and friends. I am doing good just tired and dealing with a lot of Braxton Hicks, just like last time. Laila is getting bigger every day and it kills me. Why can't they stay little longer? lol I have my glucose test coming up soon so fingers crossed I pass. It's a one hour again.

Jo - Thats the same stroller I am looking at getting! I had a Baby Jogger City Mini for Laila and I loved it but I don't love the price tag. I started looking at other options for the double when I found that one!

JM & W - Fingers crossed for you both!!!!!!

 

[rosabelle]

HIIIIIII!!

Oh my goodness, I must have known you were talking about me. The last year has been so hectic and non stop I completely forgot about BnB! Shame on me!

Life with (then) three under 14 months is challenging to say the least. The twins are almost 7 months old now!

I probably won't go over and read all the threads but would love to catch up with you all on what's been happening.

Here's a fairly recent pic of the girls xxx

 

[josephine3]

Oh rosa soooo pleased to hear from you! We've all been so worried! How many weeks were u when u delivered? Were they healthy? We were all praying u were just too busy to get on bnb!

Armywife i thought u were still pregnant too but like wilsey i was worried u may have had as loss and id forgot! Glad thats not the case!
The britax double is almost identical to the baby jogger city mini double just cheaper! Altho im not sure if its a little slimmer. Iv been trying to find a width on it everywhere but cant. - i saw online somewhere that it fits on a bus and i wanted to compare to mine which is 79cm wide. If u kno how wide it is pls let me kno! I will be so cross if mine doesnt fit ont the bus as i dont drive and rely on the bus for shopping trips..

Well im feeling exhausted! 35 weeks today! No bh but A LOT of pressure down below its very uncomfy to sit down. Fed up now lol.

 

[armywife11]

Rosa - so glad our doing good!! Your house sounds like a lot of fun right now lol I couldn't see the photo though. Not sure if thats just on my end or if it didn't upload.

Jo - Its fine. I did disappear for a bit and sometimes I have o go back and read to remember what was up with everyone. I don't know about the stroller width. I am just getting a double so I can go for my walks and have both kids contained and for outings where I know I will need a place to hold Laila. She likes to be up and walking but thats not always a good thing lol. I also don't have to worry about hauling it to much. We have a SUV now so it will fit in there no problem. I will see if I can find it for you though.

 

[jmandrews]

Rosa- yay!!!! So good to hear from you! We have all been wondering and worrying about you! So glad you came back! Can't wait to see a pic and hear about how your delivery and life is with a toddler and twins! We have missed you!

DH and I are TTC #2. We go pregnant in January but sadly lost the baby in March. Hoping to be pregnant this cycle! FX'd.
Everlee is good she is teething again. Poor baby girl she's miserable. Hoping to start potty training when she feels better.

 

[rosabelle]

Oh congratulations Josephine!! Do you know what you are having?

I'm so sorry for your loss jmandrews. Fingers and toes crossed for you!

I'm not sure if I ended up telling you all how we went after having TTTS?
We had laser ablation and an amino reduction at 23 weeks. Basically they stick a little laser and a camera into my tummy and burn off connecting vessels between the twins. When we had this done we were at a stage 4 out of 5 on the TTTS scale. 5 being one if both passing away.
Eva (twin 2 who was receiving to much fluid/blood) was in heart failure. We had the op in Sydney and I stayed over night not knowing if it had worked as there are so many risks. Had an ultrasound first thing in the morning and was so happy to see two heart beats. Thing just got better and better each week. Their sac fluid levels evened out, the fluid aroiund Eva's body disappeared and we made it to 32 weeks when I got up from the chair at home and thought I had peed myself. Only a little bit though. It happened 4 more times during the day before I thought "hm ok time to call hubby". Went in to the hospital to be checked and didn't come home. Stayed for 2 long weeks before a csection at 34 weeks.

The girls were amazing sizes for what they've been through. Layla was 2.65 kilos (I like that's about 5lb 12?) and Eva was 2.7 kilos (6lb roughly).
They had a 2 week NICU stay and never looked back!

I have been doing it on my own 95% of the time as hubby works 3 jobs. It's very full on and my mental health has struggled but have just in the lady week surrender and asked for more help from family.

I will try add the pic in the next post so I don't lose all this post doing it lol!!!

I've missed talking to you ladies! X

 

[wantanerd]

Glad that your twins are okay Rosa!

 

[josephine3]

[rosabelle]

How lovely to have one of each Jo!

[Wilsey]

Oh thank gosh, she were so worried rosa!! So happy to hear all your girls are doing well x

I sometimes struggle with two, so commend you for having three (two of which are the same age!). I'm glad you've asked for help, there is absolutely no shame in that.
