buninoven - Wednesday, 11 June
Ugh! I am having a mopey day. I love that all this is going on but today I am giving in to the big and uncomfortable feeling. I am still very happy to be here, i just don't recognise my figure anymore. I feel like I am in someone elses body. Every thing looks so big and weird :) not bad just weird. Everyone at work is talking about losing weight and getting skinny for summer and working out. I am thinking, I am going to go home and eat something and get bigger. It is just so weird to make that transition! I know its all to help the babies get bigger & healthy its just strange to not be trying to get skinny!

Other than the mopies, I feel great! :) We have the hospital tour tomarrow night. That will be fun!

How are you feeling?? Take care!!!


spadoinkle - Wednesday, 11 June
yeah its crazy. i was talking to a girl at work and my stomach was moving like crazy.. people can see it very easily. how are you feeling? my only complaint its my feet are huge by the end of the day i need better shoes oh and its 90 something degrees..not gonna be a fun summer heheh..


buninoven - Tuesday, 10 June
I went to the Dr today I was having big time braxton hicks and super stabbing pains way up in there and cramping too. It started and then it was so painful it took my breath away. Yuck! They checked my cervix and it was high and closed up tight yay! She said it was the kids head butting my cervix over and over and not to worry! Just go lay down and they will ease off, and they did! That was scary!

They measured me again and you are not going to believe this, but I measured 37 weeks!!!!!!!!! How can I grow 3 weeks in one week??????? This is CRAZY! If I keep this rate up I will be 40 weeks by next week!!

My grandpa was a twin but they said that it doesn't follow that side of the family, it follows the women. They think because I am old the system gets glitches in it and can pop out more than one egg and I got to be one of the lucky ones!

My baby shower is July 27th, we may get that , but I would rather have all of that paid time off! You are still the lucky one!

Are you having many of the braxtons?

No, no more kids for me. This is enough, we wanted 2 and if there is a chance of twins again whoah! No, I will be just thrilled with the 2 I have! How about you? We will have just enough bedrooms for two if we had more we would have to move or add on even more. After that mornig sickness, no way!! :) Take care!!


buninoven - Monday, 9 June
Oh yeah, they won't schedule my inducion or c-section until Sept. 8th!! Brutal! That puts me at 38 weeks, there is no way I am going that long, I will blow up by then! It'll get messy! At 36 weeks I am going to get the massage that brings on labor and start running stairs at the stadium! :)


buninoven - Monday, 9 June
I am so happy to hear you are feeling better! Do you have air conditioning there?

The weather here is pretty nice this weekend around 70 degrees. Perfect big mama weather. I am amazed how tired I get so quickly. I was washing some windows and I was pooped! I napped for 2 hours!

Its not so bad being at work, all I do is pretty much sit there. They are really spoiling me. I could sit at home and not get paid or sit at work and get paid. Luckily I live 5 minutes from the hospital I work at so I napp at lunchtime for an hour every day and then go back and sit at work. WoW! I told my hubby if we have any more kids we need to move to London, that is an awsome deal!!

I haven't felt any elbows yet. My belly button still hasn't popped out yet either. It sure is fun when they both get going in there. It is starting to get predictable when they will start moving. That's a big releif. I have a feeling there are going to be lots of nights awake. They are busy at night.

I just gave my address list to my friend for the baby shower. There are about 40ish of them! So I have slowed down on the shopping until after the shower.

Good luck on the house! So exciting! Our big construction is starting next week too! Our house will be a disaster zone for a while. Hubby promised it would be done before the kids get here. At least that is his intention.

I am outgrowing all of my cute maternity clothes. I am going to have to advance to the tents here soon. It feels like it is doubleing in size every couple of days! Ok , not doubling but I feel huge! Thank goodness for my water aerobics class. It feels really good to be in the water and get the weight off of my back. If you get the chance to go to the pool I am sure your back will love it!! My back is doing pretty well, I can't complain. I am just miserable still with the heartburn. Any time I bend over to pick something up , boom its in my throat. I have to sleep most nights propped up. I have tried all of the medicines but they only work for a little while. I get heartburn from drinking a glass of water!! They won't sign me off for heartburn darn it! :) Have a great week!!


twinstwice - Sunday, 8 June
I will probably have some scans in the summer to monitor their growth, especially near the end but nothing is scheduled yet.

My twins have been kicking like crazy!!! There are times it feels like a regular party in there, and yes, I too feel knees, heads, elbows, etc. Good thing when the roll over to be head up they don't stay that way too long as it is so uncomfortable against my ribs!

Is your back better?


buninoven - Saturday, 7 June
Oh man! You have 99 days to go!!! Wow!! The dr said if I continue to stay healthy they won't sign me off work! Bummer! She also said it could change any day though too. She said 36 weeks will be when I stop and she will sign me off then. I wnt them out around there anyway. If I have them in august they will be in the same school grade as 3 of my best friends kids and my sister in laws's. It would be nice to have them around the last week of august otherwise I will have them older for their grade in school. I just can't wait to see who they look like. My girl is little and petite and the boy has big feet and big features. How is your back now that you are off? Have a great weekend!


spadoinkle - Saturday, 7 June
99 days to go!


cathyb - Thursday, 5 June
Thanks you and good luck! I'll keep praying.


buninoven - Thursday, 5 June
Oh I am happy it went well for you! Yes, I get that movement when it feels like they are about to crawl out too! Creepy huh!

My boy had the hiccups for the first time last night, it felt super cool! It was this constant twitch for a couple of minutes. I haven't felt it on the girl yet! I am 24 weeks and I measured 34 weeks! I told you I am huge!! Both of the heartrates were 153.

They are both head down facing my spine and the feet are under my ribs. I just can't even imagine it! There was one picture where the boy streched his leg out and pushed his sister out of the view. It was really cute. Are you feeling any contractions? We went to a parenting class tonight and met our soon to be pediatrician. Are you all finished with classes? The class was pretty boring, all of the stuff I have heard a million times. Next week we get to tour the hospital. Enjoy your rest!! I am so happy for you!! Yayyy!! :)


ellianna88 - Thursday, 5 June
I'm on bed rest now because my daughter was born at 28 weeks. I'm not showing any signs of premature labour yet but the doctors are doing this as a precaution so hopefully everything works out!!


ellianna88 - Wednesday, 4 June
I'm feeling pretty good for the most part. I can't believe how big I already am. It's crazy lol. I better not say anything though since I can only get bigger. Haha. I've been on partial bed rest since 19 weeks. It's not that bad though I only have to lay down for 4 hours a day. It's pretty hard on my 2 year old daughter though. I think she's getting pretty bored of mommy laying down.


twinstwice - Tuesday, 3 June
I am glad you have such a good doc! Mine are like that too, last time it was basically my decision to go off and he agreed so he signed all the papers. I think you should enjoy wanting to stay in bed right now. I think the nesting will sink in a bit and you will want to do a bunch of stuff, just remember to do things in moderation.

I have had a bit of a bout of motivation today, simply because I leave tomorrow and I have heaps of laundry to do! I think I will leave the housework for my husband since he isn't coming until later.

I saw my doc today (I posted on 24-28 weeks) and all is well!

Cheers, take care, I will let you know how the holidays are going.


ellianna88 - Tuesday, 3 June
Same due date, wow. I'm having a boy and a girl too. I feel the boy way more often that I feel the girl. How's your pregnancy going so far??


buninoven - Tuesday, 3 June
How was your appointment?? Are you cleared for your back to be off of work?? I have my big scan tomarrow! Got to go, hubbys home! Take care!!


twinstwice - Monday, 2 June
How are you feeling? Are you able to walk better now? I ended up with a nasty cold for a day last week and it wiped me out! I didn't think I would make it to my last day at work but I felt way better by the next day so I was able to go in. Though I am battling a major lack of motivation with some excessive fatigue.. I agree, I hate not being able to do the things I want to do (and even those I don't want to do). I hope that after my holiday I can find some motivation for a month and get some much needed things done around the house before the babes come.


katew86 - Monday, 2 June
Its no problem!! I'm glad you did go into detail! There is no point being shy about it we are all going to go through much more embarrassing stuff yet!! xx


katew86 - Monday, 2 June

buninoven - Saturday, 31 May
 Oh my!! You are super cute! Lucky! No stretch marks!! I have them on my sides but not on my tummy yet. Fingers crossed! I think I am chubbier than you are, I put the weight on everywhere not just the tummy it just looks like yours went straight to the tummy. Lucky! I am bummed about getting chubby but I am that much more obsessed with getting it off after the kids come too. The one time when its ok to gain weight, I can't stop thinking about how I am going to get it off afterwards. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence! Before, I was so looking forward to packing on the pounds, now its here I just can't wait for the fatty part to be done! Good luck on monday! Will they tell you how much they weigh in there, how big they are? I was told that right now they weight as much as a can of soda each. Its weird to think we are carrying around 2 cans of soda with no hands. Have a great weekend! Rest that back of yours!! :) :)


TWINSX2 - Saturday, 31 May
Everything was great. The babies had exactly the same measurements, same heartrate and weighed 5oz each. That seemed odd to me since my last twins were always a bit different from each other, so I am hesitant to start getting thingsfor both sexes until I see them again on June 27th. know I should trust the tech, but I just was certain it was two girls and with the measurements being so similar, I'm not sure!


TWINSX2 - Friday, 30 May
Hi, just had my scan and it is one of each again! Since my twins will be 14 mos old when these twins arrive,I am hoping the clothes fit atleast for the most part anyways!
How are you feeling these days?


tiredwoman - Friday, 30 May
Hello, Thank you for your visit and message. We are doing good. They are strong little babies and they amaze me every day. I am so proud of them and love them very much. I wish you well. Take care.


buninoven - Friday, 30 May
I know what you mean! I had a lady today tell me that I look super small for twins and that is the 3rd time I have heard that. I am eating like a wild woman and drinking tons of water. Then I have the other side when people say wow you are huge!!

Last night I woke up at 4am starving and both of the kids were having a boxing match in there at the same time! It was so weird! After I ate they settled down. They can be demanding when they are hungry!

So are you off work now for good?? That just sounds brutal about your back, I wish I could make it easier for you!

That is so fun that you could have felt the baby's head. Are we that far already?? This is starting to go FAST! Tuesday I go in for my 2 hour scan, oh and they want me to have a full bladder, Ha! I go to the loo every 5 minutes and it feels desperate each time! I have no clue how that is going to work. Who can even keep a bladder full for 2 hours? Silly people!! I hope staying home will help your back. Does it help to be laying down? Take care!! :)


zavana - Friday, 30 May
thank you for your comment...


twinstwice - Thursday, 29 May
Oh I hope your back is feeling better. I had a weekend like that a while ago and no fun crawling up the stairs! So are you completely off work now for the remainder of the pregnancy? I have one more day this Friday and then I will be a lady of leisure for the next 4 weeks, as I will be away (the second half is at my in laws). Can't wait to play in the sand with the girls!

Our rain finally has finally stopped and it is nice again. Where we are going is the hottest place in Canada (actually it is a desert) so we should have good weather the entire time.

Take care of yourself. I will post some pictures of the girls.
