xxshellsxx: I totally feel you on the daycare expense. I have two in daycare right now (DD1 &2) and I am so blessed to get a year off so I will be staying home with twins!

lanet: Oh dear! I can't beleive you get no maternity leave. Hopefully your plan works out and you at least get some time off and also be able to make a little bit of money too!

princess_1991: great news about your twin girls!! So happy for you.Tell me about 3 under 3??? I will soon have 4 under 4!!


Gender scan went well... I spent 3 hours in there. Twin A was a sweetheart and cooperated fully. Twin B (the one who kicks the most and also gives painful jabs) was all over the place- lol!
This time I was so sure I wanted to know gender.
So, we are team Can't wait to meet my boys!! Feeling so blessed!

 

[MellyH]

Yay two boys!!!!

nessah- Congrats on the boys

Princess- Glad to hear you and your girls are doing well. Please do tell about 3 under 2 My daughter will be almost the same age as yours when the twins come. I just keep telling myself and hoping that in a few years when they are all more independent it won't be so bad.

 

[messica]

princess - I'm so happy to hear your girls are doing so well!

nesSAH - I found out Monday we are team blue too! Congrats on your boys both looking great at your scan!

 

[xxshellsxx]

Awww two princes nesSAH how wonderful!! congratulations xx

 

[MamaMac123]

Congrats on all those boys!!!! So exciting!

 

[princess_1991]

seoul - it was hard on dd1 at first, it was confusing to her especially with me being in hospital and then bringing the babies home, i dont quite think she understood, she was a little jealous at first too however now she loves her little sisters and will come and hold their hand while im changing them or if she comes for a cuddle while im bf'ing she plays with their feet - its totally adorable!

it is a little hard if im tandem feeding and dd wants in for a love too, she has had to learn to be patient but dh is around a lot and luckily she is very much a daddies girl which tends to give me a free hand!

 

[nesSAH]

Hi twin mamas!

Hope everyone is doing well.

When did you take your glucose test? (If you have already)
I am thinking of bringing it up with OB on next visit. I can't believe I've only seen her once this entire pregnancy

 

[xxshellsxx]

When I saw my OB she have me the form for GD test at 26 weeks and had to go book it with the lab there and then. Mine is 27th October and I see my OB for only the second time the following week with the GD results at 27 weeks. X

 

[nesSAH]

xxshellsxx: Thanks!

I just spend 4-5 hours shopping for groceries and also getting DD1 ready for Pre-K this year. So exhausted! I think I might be needing a maternity belt soon

I got those support wait bands at Old Navy for now...

Have a lovely weekend ladies!

 

[SnowyFairest]

We are due soon, and my dh will take parental leave to help me for the first 6wks. We are in Canada, I've always been a SAHM, and this is the first time dh has taken paternity leave.

In September we will have 5 under 5. I am going to enjoy it. Although I expect it will be a little crazy at times!

 

[MamaMac123]

I'm 28 1/2 weeks and just did my GD test last week. I was just informed this morning that I failed.

They want me below a 7.8 and I was a 9 something so I guess only slightly elevated but now I have to do the 2 hr fasting one. Blah.

Anyone who's done it already did you fail the first but pass the second? I've heard that's common and since my levels only slightly high I'm hoping that will be the case.

 

[fides]

I took mine last week, too, but haven't heard back yet - it was the 2 hour fasting one, plus the hour between drink and taking blood - I hated it!!! They tell you to avoid white sugar and stay hydrated, then what do they do? Dehydrate you and load you up with sugar. Anyway, they said i'd hear back by last Thursday, but they've not called. It is soooo hard to try and call during their office hours with two toddlers to take care of! Grrr!


How is everyone doing?

 

[MamaMac123]

Fides, hopefully that means you're okay. My lab told me no news is good news. I failed the one hour and went back this week for the 2 hr. I haven't heard anything yet so I'm hoping I'm in the clear. We'll see if I hear from the doc on Monday.

My work finally hired a replacement but she can't start for an extra week so now I have to work 2 more weeks instead of one. I'm annoyed. I wanted to be done Aug 15! Errrrr

Been having Braxton Hicks more often. Worried that working is too much for me now. I need to be resting. Do not want these babes coming too early!

 

[fides]

that's annoying!! grrr. hope the last two weeks fly by - make sure you rest when you get home!

 

[MamaMac123]

So I think I've seriously started nesting! I got up this morning wanting to tidy the kitchen and move some baby things from the nursery into the living room (readying the house for babies! Yay!) and those 2 tasks turned into a massive day of cleaning and organizing. I completely decluttering my living room, gut cleaned my kitchen and moved a lot of baby stuff around as well as packed up my car with a low of stuf to move into storage. Granted i was stopping regularly to sit or lay down but I kept finding more things to do. And I've got a list of more things I want to try to do tomorrow. Will see if I feel up to it after today. Might spend tomorrow in bed!

Hope this nesting thing doesn't mean babies are coming soon...

 

[MellyH]

Woohoo!! Ride the nesting wave, Mama! But yes, hopefully they keep baking for awhile yet.

 

[fides]

Totally jealous! I've been in nesting mode, but the limited mobility from the SPD means I can't physically take care of what it is I want to - just not possible - grrrr, lol. Enjoy the nesting, though - feels nice to prepare things for the babies.
