TTC and Beyond!

[CantHrdlyWait]

Sandy I am so glad your appointment went well. I like that she didn't sugarcoat anything!

I am home until 1pm.. everything outside my window is covered in 1/3" of ice and this preggo isn't messing around with that. I told them once it start warming up, i'll be in.

 

[frsttimemama]

Me too! I am not looking forward to the hour glucose test though! Lol. I still have to do the regular ones too. I had to stay at work last night. Hopefully I can go home tonight! Hubby brought me. He spoils me

Cute mobile waves.

Happy one month bday to baby Alia!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Nikki, I think you are right. And maybe a baseline? They are checking thyroid levels, too. She said thyroid being out of whack can cause nausea and vomiting .. I had no clue. I'm not having much of that. Happy one month!

Oh I am SOOOOO exhausted today. I want to go home and sleep in my own bed with Hubby and our dog. Had to stay at work last night. Short night with lousy sleeping. I need to go to the grocery store, too. She recommended a low carb diet with fresh fruit.. and that it would be perfect if I didn't gain a pound. I will try. Lol. I'm in shock that it's really even happening .. that we are doing it again.

wicked snow day up heah in maine! but OH and i still made it in to work; i dont have much to do today (on purpose, because i could be doing something, and i'm not).
i had a crazy dream - please check out my journal! and apparently i either subconsciously think i'm having a boy or i've been seeing too many boy updates on my FB feed, but it def was a boy in the dream.

Nikki- Awww happy one month miss Alia!

Sandy- CONGRATS!

Waves- Also love the outfit, so so cute

Mirolee- Got to come in at 10 today, but got stuck twice Glad you guys made it, too.

 

[RobertRedford]

I'll send some of this crazy california drought heat towards all of you in the snow!

Hi to all of you. unable to catch up but lots of love and i hope you're all doing well!

Nikki-I can't believe she's already a month old!!! Holy crap time goes by too quickly...

Cassidy-My last apt was at 24 weeks and the next one isn't until Feb 17th. It seems so far away! At this point there is no reason to think I won't make it to full term. My cervix has been thick and closed the whole time and I haven't had any contractions (besides bh), so everything looks good. I'm just getting uncomfortable for sure. I'm sure I'm either measuring full term or really close to it by now.

Sandy-That is kind of weird that they would have you do a glucose test now, but like you and Nikki said maybe they are testing as a baseline to make sure you aren't already diabetic. That's amazing she said you could call her with anything. It's so reassuring to have someone you can talk to and will give you reassurance instead of making you feel like you are overreacting.

Waves-Speaking of laundry, I made a spreadsheet of all the clothes we have for the twins and what we still need. lol I'm a bit of type A personality...now all the clothes are separated into piles for washing, so that's what I'll be doing today or tomorrow!
It seems like it won't be too much longer before you get to meet Leah...you better get that bag packed!

Welcome back Amanda! Your pics on fb look amazing! I definitely need to make a trip to Hawaii sometime!

We got our cribs the other day and DW put them together. I'm so excited that the nursery is coming together! Now we need to pick out a dresser, get mattresses, get pictures to hang and have my mom make curtains for the closet...then it will basically be together! Well, I need to organize all the clothes and such too lol
Here are my 27 week pics although they were taken a day late. I can't believe how much I've grown in 10 weeks...I'm scared to see how big I am in another 10 weeks! (ignore my dumb face lol)

 

[frsttimemama]

Amanda, hope you are well and Hawai

.

i was wonderful!

Julie! Oh my gosh !! I think you look lower today

 

[jury3]

I don't know, I feel like my belly has no where else to go lol It just keeps going out and getting rounder I think. It feels tighter this week. I know Grayson is up pretty high, I mainly feel him from my belly button and up. I think he's finally starting to get into my ribs bc it's getting more difficult to breath. I feel Olivia up top a lot too, but she also kicks me in the cervix a lot, like right now lol
I'm so freaking tired now too. Convincing myself to even take a shower is a struggle, I'd rather lay on the couch and take a nap lol

 

[goldstns]

Julie- u r such a champ!!

 

[jury3]

Lol Thanks Nikki! I seriously think I need a shower chair, I've been sitting down for a little while when I'm in there just to rest. I have so many things on my to-do list and no idea how I'm ever going to get them all done when I'm so tired all the time! Maybe I can rent an electric wheelchair...

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

Julie- You are a champ! I struggle enough with one!!

 

[frsttimemama]

Julie, lol @ electric wheelchair! If only! Do a bit then rest and repeat? I can't imagine being pregnant with twins.. one is so exhausting!

 

[CantHrdlyWait]

I'm only 20 weeks and my back is hurting, I can't sleep at night, I can't tie my shoes much anymore and driving is starting to be uncomfortable! I seriously can't imagine having 2 in there!

 

[morganwhite7]

Ew.. boobs are totally leaking real milk. I swear there's still some leftover in there from April when I bound my chest (I made SO much milk...). Yellow and abundant, so strange. Not at all like what my colostrum looked like. And why decide to leak now? All the way through my new lacey white bra, this stinks. Do not want to have to start wearing breast pads for leaking milk and pantyliners for all this EXCESS cm.. It's getting crazy! Glad my body knows I'm pregnant lol..

Maybe seeing babies made it happen.. I gawked at a few on my lunch break.. weird.

Hmm Googled some and found it can start off thick and yellow.. Anyone else' boobs in action like this?

 

[morganwhite7]

P.s. getting antsy to hear STG's beta results!

 

[wavescrash]

It seems like it won't be too much longer before you get to meet Leah...you better get that bag packed!

Everyone keeps saying that but I feel like it's still too early to be worried. She's just keeping us on our toes lol. Maybe all that stuff happening was her way of getting me to pack the bags but we still have a few weeks to go. I mean, realistically if she can stay until 36 weeks, I'd be okay with whatever happens then but at the same time, I know she'll be okay if she were born now with a short NICU stay and I'm totally mentally and physically over being pregnant ever again and just ready to have her here. But we'll see what she decides. I see my OB Friday at 2pm.

Nothing exciting today. Just a bunch of BH and that's about it.

Sandy I'm pleased all went well.

Amanda. How are you ? Liveing the littke outfit

Nikki I cant beleive little alia is 1 month already.

Morgan. That happened to my friend. I think it can be normal. Its good that your boobies are ready to fire.

Julie. You look fab. You must be soo tired. Take it easy , lots of naps and yummy snacks needed.

Had a good day today,finished work and now feel super achey on my right side again. Just waiting for the ms to start now. I had it for 9 months last time but id go through anything for a sticky bean.
Im starved. Tea is nearly ready, mash , chicken goujons and baked beans. Yum !
