Hello, my name is Jamie. I am 21 years old and I am married, will be 3 years on July 1st. I am a mother of Fraternal Twin Boys who are 17 months, and are a lot of fun, and work. They definitely give me tons of cardio.

I do not work, I am a stay home mom and I really enjoy it. I like how you are able to meet other women who are going through the same things as me, and I am really just looking for people to talk to.

With my first pregnancy I found out at 19weeks that I was pregnant with twins, I also found out that they were boys. So, I got to go for ultra sounds every week, and it was a great experience being able to watch them grow each week. Then at 24weeks my cervix started EFACING as they called it, and it only had 1cm left to go before I started to dilate, so I got put on wonderful bedrest. It was definitely a boring time, and time went by real slow, and then I had to go back within 3 days to get checked out to see how big of a change there was, and that would determine if I was going to have to stay in the hospital. Luckily they let me do my bedrest at home, and I was told I would never make it to 28weeks, then I made it, and then I was told I would never make it to 32, and then I was told again I would never make it full term for twins which is 38weeks. Well glad to say I MADE it to 38 weeks, and I had them naturally with the epidural of course since they were head down the whole time, so I gave birth to two healthy 6 pounds 3 ounce boys. They were walking by 9months and climbing as well so they have learned to get into everything, I am learning that being pregnant with 17 month old boys is a lot work and very exhausting. I will find out on May 23rd with my first ultra sound if I am having more then one baby again. Very Excited!!

April 11, 2008

Well, I got off birth control on the 9 of March, and that was when I was supposed to start my sugar pills while I was on my period kinda thing for my birth control, so I didn't even bother with those, and I got my period on the 11th of March right on time, and on the 15 I was all done so my husband and I started to try and have a baby again!! I was told and had read up on stopping birth control, and they had said it could take any where from 3-6 months just to get your cycle back on track and ovulation going again, so I figured I would give myself a few months for my body to do that, that way I could get pregnant in the summer and have a summer baby or a fall baby or whatever, well God had other plans for me, and I got pregnant a few weeks after my period and I am now due on December 17, 2008 with just one baby this time! I have twin boys who are 18 months old and were born December 1, 2006. So if December isn't already an expensive month with Christmas and what not, it is with 3 birthdays in it!

May 28, 2008

Well, had my first ultra sound today and found out its only one baby they could see which means no twins for me again this time!! Then this time I may think its a breeze compared to with my boys lol. Posted some ultra sound pictures as well, I am very excited, at first disappointed a little bit, but that is okay!! I am not disappointed anymore, that just means I can get pregnant again lol!!

July 8, 2008

Well had another prenatal appointment today sorry I never posted my last one, but everything was fine on that one and they did not hear the heart beat due to I was still in the stage of where it would be hard too!!

But today I had my prenatal and everything is looking good and the heart beat was 136=)

July 22, 2008

Today was my prenatal appointment and looks like everything is looking good I am 19 weeks and we heard the heart beat which was 128 today. August 12th I find out if its a boy or girl so I am getting antsy for August to come.

August 12, 2008

Well had my 22 week ultra sound today and we were able to find out the gender of our baby!!

Was kind of a shock because I had it in my head that I was expecting a boy, but nope its a baby GIRL!!

Yes my kids are the ones telling me this, and as for my youngest my only daughter who is 3 can tell me where they are sitting, one with it's head up and the other with it's a little lower facing down.

It does get easier in a sense because they can do things on their own for themselves, but on the other hand they fight, and there is double the homework, and they scheme together to try to play tricks on me. Yes they are identical, and sometime I have a hard time telling them apart. LOL. They are so fun though and sooo FUNNY!! Its great to watch the bond they have.


amandav81 - Tuesday, 24 June
Hi Jamie! I also have twin boys. They are turning 8 in july. I also have a little girl who is going to be 5 on Dec 17 ( the day i am due with my 4th) Looks like we have a few things in common! LOL


sweetgamom - Wednesday, 18 June
No I know Im 13 weeks but I was like what!! I dont know what they are going by but its confuseing!


sparklyval - Tuesday, 17 June
Hey! Another week gone by already! I just can't keep pace at the moment - there seems so much going on in the run up to the girls coming to the end of the year at school/nursery. In fact it will be quite strange as Kate finishes nursery for good on 25th July. She only goes there part time on the two days a week that I work, but she has been at the same nursery now for almost 4 years. She has a visit to 'big' school on 4th July. I just know I am going to be so sad when she starts big school. I love having her around, she is great company. I won't dwell on that for now - there are still 3 months until September.

It sounds as though your husband's mum has had a lot to deal with in her lifetime - losing one baby to SIDS and also having a baby with deformities. It must have been tough for her. I think having a strong faith helps in dealing with difficult times. Maybe having a big family as she has done has helped to comfort her from the losses that she has experienced.

So, how have things been? It was Father's Day here on Sunday. Unfortunately the day didn't go quite as we had planned! We ended up in the casualty department (ER) on Sunday morning. We stayed away at a hotel on Saturday night so that we could visit a big Zoo nearby on Sunday. We were just getting ready to leave the hotel on Sunday morning when my husband said 'hey, what's happened to my knee?' - it had a huge swelling just below the kneecap. Consequently we had to go to the nearest hospital and spent two hours there while he got examined and x-rayed. Thankfully it wasn't anything too serious - something called bursitis which is swelling caused by a fluid sac behind the knee bursting. But sadly we didn't manage the zoo trip! It wasn't quite what my husband was hoping for on Father's Day!! We did manage to salvage the day a bit by going out for a nice meal in the evening....we will plan for the zoo trip later in the summer! He had a few nice presents too that the girls had helped me sort out for him, so he wasn't too miserable!! I hope that your Father's day turned out to be less stressful!!

I think you are right to wait for a bit with the potty training with your boys - if they are not aware that they are wet or dirty just now then it would be quite a job at the moment. It is amazing how quickly children change and in another few months they will be able to understand the whole idea of potty training much better. At least they are now in beds - that is one milestone out of the way!

It isn't too long until your birthday now (and your anniversary). Do you have anything planned? Will you have a party at all?

I hope you and your family are all well. Valerie

O thank you! Congrats on your two boys! We just found out we are having fraternal boy girl twins! We are so excited

Finally someone who knows what I'm going thru. This past week I was actually admitted into the hospital because my cervix almost opened up. Thank God they were able to repair most of it with surgery. My doctor actually wanted me to spend the rest of the pregnancy in the hospital but I couldn't. Even being for a week was driving me crazy, so he let me out today. Hopefully everything will be fine and I can take this pregnancy to term.

I was told today that they won't be putting me on bedrest unless I go into labor or something. They will eventually modify my activity but as of now I am going to be doing the same stuff. As of right now everything is looking good and they don't even know if I will have to be modified at all. So I guess that's good news!


katiemac - Thursday, 12 June
it's a cool date if you ask me! we have plenty of time to rest up until the holidays if all goes well!


rahomsw - Thursday, 12 June
Thanks!! I sure hope I can make it at least to 36 weeks!!! I'd love to be able to bring the babies home with me, as my son was in the NICU for 4 1/2 weeks when he was born. Good luck and thanks for responding!


jazzyblack29 - Thursday, 12 June
 Nice pictures!!!!


jazzyblack29 - Thursday, 12 June
Great! I'm already getting really big, I don't think I will be able to make it to 38 weeks. I would love that because I want my babies to healthy and big!


sailorsbabybump - Thursday, 12 June
Yeah he is gone a lot. The hardest part, I think, will be going on bedrest with no one here. I don't live anywhere near either of our families. My mom is going to come out if I do go on bedrest, but I'm crossing my fingers it doesn't happen. Did you do bedrest at home or in the hospital?


pamallhoney - Thursday, 12 June
Very smart about the potty training. Currently I have 4 in diapers. Our 3 year old just hasn't gotten the hang of it. Our goal for her is the end of the summer. Our two year old I hope will watch what we are doing with her and be interested. My mom trained the older two when I happened to be away on vacation. She's really good at training. Even my cousins bring their kids up to her. I think she wants me to be able to do it myself...I wish she'd just do it. Who cares if potty training is something I never get the knack of. You'll have to let me know how it goes with your boys. I didn't even notice you are from Canada. I live in Canada now, but was born and raised in the States. My husband and now most of my children are Canadian. I love Canada. My husband is taking parental leave with the twins. I would be so stressed if he wasn't here. What a nice option to have.
Well have a wonderful day and I'll talk to you soon.


jazzyblack29 - Thursday, 12 June
I just read your bio! I know I'm having one boy for sure, the other one was hiding. They are fraternal twins as well. I pray that I can carry mine full term because I want them to be healthy little darling. I truly think I am having two boys as well. I will know on the 17th of this month.


jazzyblack29 - Thursday, 12 June
I have so many questions? did you deliver early? C-Section? Fraternal or Identical? I'm so excited!!!


sethina2 - Thursday, 12 June
HI Jamie thankyou so much for messaging me, i was beginning to think no one was on this site. Quick question for you Did you sleep the boys together in the same cot when they were born? People have been telling me to do this. I'm not quite sure though, need some real advice.


sailorsbabybump - Thursday, 12 June
My husband is in the Navy. He works on subs which has him gone up to 4+ months every few months. Like this year we had 3 on, 3 off, 4 on. But When he gets back he should be working in an office for a while. SO he MIGHT have good hours. On the plus side he should be home for almost a year straight and then we go on shore duty so he will be on land for 3 years! YAY! It's getting harder to do things now and it sucks that he is gone because they just don't get done. I guess I will leave them for him! lol


sailorsbabybump - Thursday, 12 June
Awww that's sweet of him. I'm hoping I can keep them in until he gets home! If not they had better sew me up!!


pamallhoney - Thursday, 12 June
Your twins boys are so cute!!! Do they have fun together? I can't wait to see ours grow up together. They also have a brother just two years older than them. And congrats for carrying your to 38 weeks. That's awesome. Also congrats on your newest baby. Did you end up finding out the sex of this baby? I'm gonna add you as a friend.


sailorsbabybump - Thursday, 12 June
The after part is what I am really nervous about. That pain worries me more than the actual labor. I mean the birth lasts a couple of hours (hopefully) but the pain from it lasts for DAYS or WEEKS! I'm sure it will be worth it in the long run. So just one this second go around? Congrats!
