julie- yay for kicks!!!!

AFM, everything i can think of for baby Alia (and myself for birth) have been bought! Next step is putting it all together. So happy I have NOTHING planned this weekend.
 
Julie- I was wondering whether you would both breastfeed or not! I've seen lots of lesbian mommy blogs who induced lactation on their partner and they both breastfed! I had never really thought about it until I read about it and was like, THAT'S GENIUS! Haha. But I understand why Ryann wouldn't want to. You'll just have to pump for her turns feeding ;) lol
 
I tried to tell her it's really common for lesbian moms and for adoptive moms. The thought just weirds her out lol I think it would be great bc we'd have that much more milk to go around and it wouldn't all be on me. I understand why it weirds her out though. It seems strange to lactate when there isn't a baby growing in you lol I would definitely do it in an adoptive situation though.

Thanks Nikki! I'm a bit obsessed now...I've been watching my belly all day lol

Yay for having everything purchased! I feel like we have so much to do still! I can't wait to feel like it's all ready :)

I've been reading lots of stories of twin moms going on maternity leave and/or bed rest as early as 18 weeks. Most of them not until around 23 weeks though. That is so early! I'm ok with it though, I kind of hope I get to stop working that early so I can prepare around the house lol That would be the beginning of January though...I'm not even sure what my std covers. I should probably call them.
 
Aww I'm so jealous of you ladies feeling your little babes. I can't wait till I can. I'm just excited for the next time I can see the babe bouncing around at my ultrasound. Next appointment is only 5 days away but I think they're only going to use the Doppler and I won't see him/her until NT scan sometime after that. Can't believe I have a little prune! 2 more weeks of first trimester! Hoping that the MS ends soon.

Btw, did any one else's nipples seem to change basically overnight? I've been thinking it was weird that mine didn't really seem like they were then all of a sudden tonight they look way bigger and more Montgomery tubercles. Maybe I was just not as observant as I thought lol

Click to expand...

How exciting!! Time is just flying by for you! She'll be here before you know it!
 
Yay for kicks Julie!!

I woke up in the middle of the night to my muscles over my stomach spasaming... it's such a strange feeling. It's still doing it this morning and you can see my stomach moving! Wonder if has to do with muscles moving/stretching?
 
You better pack that bag Nikki- she could come earlier than you anticipate!! So exciting to be ready for your little princess.. Can't wait to see her!!! <3

Ashlee- LOL if you reallllyyy wanna know, I went from a little B to a full C in the last few weeks, they feel like bowling balls (NOTHIN compared to when the milk comes in!) and they're extra painful. Anddd my nipples are EXTRA HUGE (DH likes to tease and say pepperoni nips... but I cannot lie, that's what they've become!!) and lots of the little MT's like you were saying. Ttly different than they were a few months ago. But don't worry, they won't look like udders/milk boobs for long after you quit BFing haha.. But yes I feel like a bit of a cow at the moment too. :dohh:

This is us haha- :holly:

Ohh and here's some pics of this weekend's shopping spree for lil Marley. She is too spoiled already!! (Some are gifts from family too). HAHA pardon my DH's funny face lol.. he wouldn't smile and when I finally got him to, he looked like that lol.. :tease:

I'd also love to hear if anyone else is experiencing CRAZILY VIVID dreaming?!

The last few nights they've ranged from super sexy/raunchy, terrifying (being chased etc) nightmares, and just plain WEIRD dreams that I remember perfectly! I usually don't remember my dreams, so it's just a bit off-putting to be having such strange ones. I wake up feeling disturbed.

I've read it's due to REM sleep being interrupted by our pee breaks/flopping around in bed to get comfy. Anyone else experiencing this??
 
Morgan, cute pictures!! yes I also have very vivid dreams!!! I wake up in the middle of the night remembering everything and thinking WTH?!?!! lol
 
13 weeks today, excuse the stupid face I smiled too late after it flashed lol:

fwiw, i always have vivid dreams. and i have that same sock monkey blankie in my closet right now. i love monkeys.
 
Hahaha same here! I used spend time on my hair and clothes, but after losing my angel I lost all cares in the world for the way I looked. Then the MS kicked in and it got WORSE haha if that's even possible.. I have just recently tried to break out some old things and try to look presentable again. I can't even remember the last day I wore my hair down nicely fixed. It's so bad that sometimes I'll simply curl the front (since that's all I can see in the mirror) and just leave the back a mess bc I can't see it! LOL I can only imagine what the people here at work think of my attire. I wear leggings or dresses/maxi skirts every single day. Guess I could care less though, I'll be quitting in April to be a SAHM for the rest of my life, and I couldn't be more excited!!!
 
Cute bump Molly!

LOL Morgan! I was waiting for the perpperoni nips to happen and they hadn't yet so I was actually worrying a little but then when I went to shower last night I noticed they seemed much bigger and a little darker so I just thought it was crazy they seemed to change so fast. The one thing I wasn't looking forward to about pregnancy was bigger boobs. I already get annoyed with the size of mine anyway but for the little babe I will deal lol. Loving the things you bought for little Marley. Especially the Jordan stuff. My mom still has my Jordan's from when I was a baby lol
 
I have the crazy dreams too. Mostly mine are all sexual. Strange because that's the last thing I want right now. LOL
 
I've seen my Doctor. She was really reassuring. Said tests don't need to get darker and that every pregnancy is different. She's dated me at 22nd July instead of the 26th July that I think. I'm seeing the midwife on 2nd December. She made a valid point, no matter what I do what will be will be. I need to remember that. No amount of peeing on sticks or worrying will change anything. She did however day that due to having a cyst if I have pain etc I will be sent to the early pregnancy unit for a scan sooner. I feel loads better now. Plus the fact I needed a nap and have felt slightly nauseous this afternoon helped!
 
Doc decided to put EDD at Jan 10th, not 18th. She decided to go by my LMP instead of my tracked O date (since I always had like 35-40 day cycles).
