August 4, 2008 is my next ultrasound and August 9, 2008 is my next OB appointment as well as the glucose test BLAH! Time is really flying by with everything going on.

July 12, 2008 was my fourth OB appointment. Heard the heartbeat 153 bpm. I gained 10+ in one month! I told the doctor that is insane - I still wear my work pants which are not maternity. So she allowed me to use the weight I weighed in at work. Then the nurse was measuring to see how high my uterus was and began to question how far I was.

Later that day I went for my ultrasound to find out if a boy or a girl and to our surprise we are having - BOTH! We just found out I am having twins. It was a shock of a lifetime. This is my third pregnancy and it is really different but so was my second. I would have never thought I would be having twins. Twin A is most likely a girl and Twin B is definitely a boy - he was not shy in showing us his parts. I am so scared and happy at the same time. Thus far babies are doing very well for not being monitored like they should have been. So now I start going for ultrasounds once a month - I get other chances to see if Twin A is really a girl!

June 6, 2008 was my third OB appointment. Heard the heartbeat - 152 bpm. I spoke with the doctor about not feeling flutters and she said not to worry. She doesn't expect until 18 weeks. I guess every baby is different. My second child Dominic - he was a mover. So maybe this one is calm. I am down a 1/2 a pound and blood pressure is good. Next OB appointment is July 12, 2008. I also have an ultrasound that day hmmm....boy or girl? We will see.

June 4, 2008 - I am a bit worried. I feel this baby every once in awhile but not as much as I did my other two. I am worried and called the OB doc and she didn't seemed worried at all. I will feel better in a couple of days when I hear the heartbeat.

May 17, 2008 seen the nutrionist and my eating habits need to change drastically! Sodium is what I need to be looking for. Since I am now looking at labels - it is amazing how many food items have sodium in them and not to mention the amounts.

May 9, 2008 was my second OB appointment. Heard the heartbeat! Even though this is my third child, it is still a great feeling to hear the heartbeat. My blood pressure is high - doc diagnosed me having hypertension. I am on pills and seeing a nutrionist. I really don't enjoy taking any pills especially when I am pregnant - so hopefully I will be able to do get the bp down naturally. Next OB appointment is June 6, 2008.

April 5, 2008 was my first OB appointment. Nothing new - she just confirmed I was pregnant and then took my labs. Next appointment is May 9, 2008 to hear heartbeat. I cannot believe this is happening again. I enjoy being pregnant. However, I believe this will be the last child for us. But we will see - people change.

Just found out I am expecting! I am very excited and scared at the same time. I just had my second child in October of '07 and now expecting November of '08. I go to the doctor this coming Friday so we will see what she says.

Madame Zaritska predicts the day I deliver will be windy, and baby will arrive in the morning. After a 17 hour labor ( SAY WHAT! ), I will have a girl and she will weigh 8 lbs and 12 ozs and be 20 inches long. She will have very fine hair and blue eyes.

How`s my pregnancy doing?

I did get dehydrated and it is not fun to experience contractions at 20 weeks.

My hubby did not want names that sound similar either. But Tatum and Wyatt at least were names we could both agree on! What are you guys thinking of for names.

I know how u feel, I cannot wait until Aug 15th till our next big scan. It is fun talking to other twin moms isn't it??? I love it too!!!


Mommy2twogreatkids - Friday, 18 July
Hi we too are having twins isn't it exciting????


Amandarekkedal - Thursday, 17 July
I am happy to meet you as well - it is one h*ll of a shocker to find out THIS news so late in the game! I think that my hubby and I will STILL be adjusting to the news when the babies are 15!!! LOL I had my ultrasound 6/25... all we could think about that day and hope for, is that the baby would open its legs so we could find out its sex (my first son did NOT do this) so our thoughts were on that! Luckly they BOTH were good little girls and gave plenty of poses for pics! 2 girls - om!!!
My next ultrasound is 7/23 and I am curious as well to see how big they have gotten! They seem to be very busy, mama is getting kicked and jabbed all night and day long! Seems if they are not both having fun, its one or the other!
We have been slowing getting ready since we found out we were expecting, but with the twin news, we have been double timing it! I am currently 23 weeks and my doc told me I need to "keep em baking" until AT LEAST 34 weeks, but I am supposed to shoot for 36 I will do my best!

Keep me posted will you??? Have a good day and take care of those babies!!!!!


SW0699 - Thursday, 17 July
Congrats on your twins. Best Wishes..


mle - Wednesday, 16 July
Hello! Hope you're doing well and feeling those little kicks :)

Who in world is Madame Zaritska? lol


omgtwins - Wednesday, 16 July
Thanks for writing me. At my 19 week ultrasound they said it looks like 2 girls. Did you feel a lot of movement before you knew it was twins and think it was a lot of moving for one? And now that you know there's 2 can you feel them move separately? Just curious! I knew it was twins from 8 weeks but if I had gone to 20 then found out I don't think I would have noticed any different except for the fact that I felt so much pulling and heavy in my stomach. much different from my first pregnancy.


Amandarekkedal - Wednesday, 16 July
Just wanted to drop by and say congrats on your twins! I found out that I was having twins at my 20 week ultrasound as well, so I know the shock that you must have felt! Keep in touch and let me know how things progress for you! I am 23 weeks this week, I go in for my 2nd ultrasound next week to ensure the babies are still growing good! Congrats again!!


omgtwins - Tuesday, 15 July
congrats on the twins! How exciting for you. Take care


TWINGIRLS08 - Monday, 14 July
Oh yeah... CONGRATS! To you on your twin pregnancy.


Tmamma - Monday, 14 July
I am so happy you guys are excited! I would be too--but I would not feel badly about being sacred as it is a shock!!
We did not find out last year and we loved the experience of birthday and finally finding out it was a little girl! Wanting to finally know really helped me get through my 28 hour labor:) But, now we have an 8 month old and my husband is looking for a new job and we don't even know where we will be living or in what state when this baby is born. Uggg, so we are thinking about maybe finding out just to get rid of one of the many unknowns in our life right now. We just can't decide! We have until Tuesday to decide because that is when my ultrasound is. Sorry for the long answer--what do you think?


durangomama - Monday, 14 July
congrats to you! i found out at 10 wks, and cant say its any better or worse to know that much earlier. i am having 2 boys, and have a 3.5 yr old little girl.


Tmamma - Sunday, 13 July
Wow! Congrats! That is so funny because I have been having dreams that this is going to happen to me at the 20 week scan and everyone keeps telling me there is no way and I would know by now! I will have to tell them about you:)
So, how are you feeling about it? Excited? Scared? Let me know! CONGRATS!!

emmaflower987 - Wednesday, 18 June
We thought about waiting until the birth and letting it be suprise, but then we thought about it and i deff. know that i can't wait another amost 5 months lol! I know its a personal opinion on finding out... all my friends have been really suportive about us finding out at he next scan.. i just have this one friend that is like "you are so stupid for finding out. its suppose to be a suprise" she has really been hurting my feeling cause she was like "if and when you find out.. i dont wanna know" and i was just like OMG thats what friends are for so if oyu do choose to find out you can call and tell them what your having (if you decided to find out). anyways, i told her that she would find out at the baby shower cause all the other guest would know the sex so they would be buying pink or blue and now she is saying she wont come to the shower! I just dont know how im gonna handle her...


newbiemomtobe - Thursday, 12 June
Hey - Just wanted to let you know I have felt nothing. My Doctor has reassured me several times. I heard the heartbeat on Monday it was great. She is a top notch OBGYN where I am and I quote "it would be fairly ambitious to expect to feel anything before week 18+" So I was totally reassured. She actually said some women are just hoping to feel something so badly that any flutter or grumble etc.. could me misconstrued as kicking. The fetus is tiny! Anyways I found the message board was getting me all worried b/c people were claiming movement even that their spouses could feel. I am sure they honestly feel something but I have been told by experts (2 specialists) it is different for every pregnancy and every person :) I am going to try to relax and take the postings with a grain of salt


Tmamma - Monday, 28 April
I got into the doc and we saw the heartbeat! Yeah, I am getting more excited about number 2 now!
How have you been feeling?
