My Journal

January 22nd, 2008

Im actually counting down the days until I get to have my next ultrasound. My next one that I have coming up is this Friday. When I got my first ultrasound I was actually really nervous but in a way I look forward to the doctor visits and ultrasound visits (gotta have more ultrasounds since its twins), it lets me kno that they're doin good. People are always constantly in my ear tellin me "Aww your having twins, but your so small". Things like that even though I just laugh it off when they say it to me it makes me worry because at times it makes me think I hope everything is ok with them. But, I also heard that different women grow at different rates. Right now the size im at in my pregnancy is about how big most women are when they're 3 months pregnant....an right now im 22 weeks. Almost six months. Eventually i'll "blow up" and get bigger but right now im just goin slooooww and steady. But we'll see what happens on Friday, hopefully good news!!

January 25th, 2008

Well I had a mixed day today. First I went to my prenatal appointment for another ultrasound and it was the cutest thing (ima put pics up soon). But the tech said that they were layin like an upside down "L" in my tummy with their heads together (fraternal twins). But she said that one of them were doin "excercises" lol cause when she took the pic she had a pic of the hand an feet together touchin it was the cutest thing. An they both kept on movin around everytime she was takin the picture an I actually saw them movin around better this time, they were a little bigger an doin a lot of kickin. But at the end of the appointment she told me that they were 1 lb and 1 ounce each but wouldn't stay that way when it got past week 28 cause thats when they start takin on their own traits. (Hopefully both my girls look juuuuuusstt like me) lol I don't want them comin out lookin nuthin like they Daddy. But that was the good part of my day. The only bad part was when I woke up this morning I had a terrible sore throat. An it felt like someone had waxed the inside of my throat it hurt so bad. Usually antibiotics would be perfect for this situation buuuuttt can't really take any pharmacy drugs right now just Sudafed, hopefully that kick in ASAP.

February 1st 2008,

If I didn't just have the craziest week. Well I had went to the doctor an come to find out I had Bronchitis, yup good ole me thinkin that I just had the regular common cold an tryin to brave it out, turned out to be somethin else bigger. But, I got some antibiotics an finally its really just now startin to break even though I still sound nasily lol. I'm excited for next week though cause I kinda have my first official doctor's visit. I haven't really found a set OB. I was going one place but it didn't feel right like the doctor was cool but he seemed kinda uninterested an short whenever I had went in for a visit. So, I switched to another doctor but come to find out they deliver at another hospital where they don't have a neonatal unit (NICU) an I heard that its best to have a NICU when your havin twins an I want whats best for my little girls. So, then before I even had a chance to see this new doctor I switched to another one an I finally have my first appointment with her on Febuary 7th. Hopefully I feel comfortable with her and everything goes ok. I actually look forward to goin to the doctor cause that way I kno my little girls are doin ok. Thats really all I want to hear an it'll make me happy.

February 7th, 2008

Well I went to the doctor today an I met my mid wife. An I really liked her, she was nice all that. Its like I let out a sigh of relief cause I was so scared of havin to switch to another one cause I didn't like the practioner or anything. So, finally they told me that I had so far gain 13 lbs. in the past 6 months, and I got to hear the heart beat again today. But, when the practioner had said to me next had actually stunned me. She said "Ok, your having twins boy, an girl." I looked at her im like "WHAT?!?" I thought that I was havin 2 girls an come to find out its one of each. Im actually excited about it now! I just don't kno what to name the boy. The girl name is pretty much finalized an its Jada Kimberly. But, the whole boy name I HAVE NO IDEA. LOL. Any advice anyone?!?! Anyways, aside from that my doctors visit went real well and I go back again for my next visit in 2 weeks! CAN'T WAIT!

February 24th, 2008

So, I had my doctors appointments this week and once again I got another surprise. I went for my ultrasound an they confirmed once again they got back to the natural conclusion that its 2 girls...LOL..its crazy like I keep on hearing different things but when I looked at the pics from the ultrasound its kinda official that it looks like a little girl. I also chose a different name for one of my girls. I decided that I like Saniia (Sa-ni-yah). My best friend helped me pick that out. Now, im tryin to think of another girl name. I have no idea, never knew that it was goin to be this hard. My doctors appointment also went good, I met my "doctor" too for the first time (i had met with the midwife before), and she was really funny. Made me feel comfortable. But she was also sayin that if my babies keep on laying the way they are (in a breeched position) then i'll have to get a scheduled C-section. It seems surreal talking about it though. Like wow its almost time to have them. I think I have a couple of more weeks though, I was talking to my doctor about whats the full term for twins and she told me 37-38 weeks. An today im 27 weeks. So its like I have 10 more weeks left. While it seems so far away it seems so close. It seems like a couple of days ago that I just found out I was prego. Some days it feels like its goin by slow an other days feel like it went right by an I just ended up here....anyways im startin to get swelling in my hands and feet, i've been walking like crazy to try and reduce the swelling as much as possible. But, I kno its goin to come sooner or later. I'm just reallllly concise right now bout how my weight gain. Think i've put on approx. 20lbs. An I have bout 2 more months to go...uugghh I dunno if its too much, just enough, or too much. Each of the girls weight bout 2 lbs and 2oz each. The ultrasound tech said that they're growing extremely well right now, so im takin that as a good sign. Just hope they come out healthy little angels. :0)

April 20th, 2008

Hey everyone! I haven't wrote on here in so long, alot of things have happened. Well first I've had to go twice a week for NST Testing (Non-Stress Test) and its just to basically make sure that my little girls are moving around an that their heart rates accelerate when they move so far they have been doin good. Then I have to do an AFI check where they check the fluids in each of my baby sacs to make sure im not leaking any amniotic fluid. So far though so good. Im 35 weeks today an I feel like a slug in glue to say the least. My doctor put me on bed rest cause my ankles have been getting really swollen lately an fatigue is kickin in like a mother....lol. I had an ultrasound the other day an Baby A (Saniia) is 5 lbs 2 oz and Baby B (Briana) is 4 lbs 8 oz. So thats all good an well. My doctor think that i'll even go to 38 weeks. I don't wanna sound selfish but mentally I feel as if I can't take this anymore. Im in soo much pain an I feel as if my body is yelling and screaming at me an i've been in a miserable state lately. An I just started getting strech marks around my belly button an what not, I kno stretch marks are part of the territory but uugghhh i've just been out of it lately. A positive though is that I had my baby shower last week Saturday. I had so much fun there. I had family and friends come in from out of town my shower started at 4 an didn't end till 10 lol yes it was crazy within itself, got tons of clothes for the girls and a play pen, stroller, 2 gliders an so much more things. Its crazy to kno how many ppl support u. Its I went to a Baby Care Basics class yesterday and this other lady that was in there is also havin twins and she was saying shes due in July but her doctor thinks shes gonna deliver earlier around the end of June when shes 36-37 weeks. My doctor hasn't even hinted anything like that to me, yet when I talk to other practioners her office they tell me we won't let u go past 37 weeks with twins cause its already putting so much stress for the baby. It seems like everyone understands my pain an situation BUT my doctor...the most important person. The only thing shes said to me is that my uterus is already 41 weeks meaning its already stretchin waaaayyy past capacity. On top of all this my cervix is still shut an what not which doesnt show any sign of labor coming soon but I have crazy cramps and abdominal pain. I don't kno this starting to become confusing to me lol. Anyways I just wanted to catch everyone up on my situation an what not hope your pregnancies are goin a little smoother then mine!!

May 6th, 2008

Hmm well im 37 weeks pregnant and yea still pregnant basically. But, I went to the doctor yesterday...well I actually saw my midwife and cause my doctor was out of town. But, the visit went kinda nice. I had my cervix checked again and she said I was 25% effaced and im 1 cm dilated!! Im thinkin yay cause every other time it was always shut like a steel door lol. So hopefully babies soon. My midwife was talkin about inducing me because they typically don't let women go back 39 weeks with twins, an she said that shes surprised that I even made it this far because most twin pregnancies don't last this long. So, my baby girls should be ready whenever. They said they won't stop me if I go into labor now but, if I don't go by next week. I believe my doctors going out of town again (yea I kno)....so she might wanna induce me before she leaves or when she comes back. I hope she chooses before cause if they wait until she come back ill be 39 weeks. An I think i'll make it till then cause the more these weeks go by I just feel like nuthins gonna happen. But since im starting to dilate you never know. If thats one thing that bothers me though its the feeling of not knowing lol. Like you could just go into labor anytime anywhere an be ready for it. Im not looking forward to labor cause I kno thats prolly gonna be worse then any pain that I've ever felt before, but im lookin forward to when I get to see my best friend Mr. Epidural lol. I don't kno how much my girls weight now but the ultrasound tech says that they gain 7 ounces all together a week. So Baby A should be around maybe 5 lbs 12 oz and Baby B should be about 5 lbs plus. I won't kno for sure till next Tuesday when I go back for my last ultrasound. But thats the 4-1-1 on me and the girls!

May 12th, 2008

Ok, I dunno whether to be pissed or what. I went to the doctor today for my weekly check up an the midwife says to me that they're not gonna induce me! Im 38 weeks with twins and its almost like they don't give a f*#%. My little girls are healthy beyond belief. My doc tells me all the time how its amazing how well they sound and how long i've been carrying. After she tells me this whole we're not gonna induce u story I kinda zoned out from then on cause I was just like I don't wanna hear anything else she has to say. But, my doc feels that if they do try an induce me that it'll be a failed induction and i'll end up in the OR via C-section. But when the midwife checked my cervix she said that I was 50% effaced and a full cm dilated. So in a week my effacement went up 25%. I should be throwing a party but im just in the most somber mood. Its like they told me we won't let u go past 38 weeks especially with twins. An here I am an now they're saying we won't let u go past 40 weeks!!! UUUGGGHHH!!! Just wanna pull my hair out. But the midwife did try to get something going, she tried to rupture my membranes again an was somewhat successful cause she say some blood. An trust me i've tried everythin to try an start labor from spicy foods to walking...an yet nuthin....SOMEBODY PRAY FOR ME!!!

May 19, 2008

I guess all the hopin an prayin payed off cause guess what!! Yours truly is no longer pregnant!!! YAY im so happy but lemme tell u about the long journey I had to get there.......

I had an appointment on the 13th to get my regular ultrasound done I went got checked an my babies weighted in at Baby A being 7 lbs 2 oz and Baby B beinf 5 lbs 12 oz. So the tech also realized that Baby A was takin up an ample supply of food an when the doctor looked over this he decided lets go head an induce her. I didn't kno that though that he made this decision. I went home miserable cause I was still pregnant. Low an behold though I got a call from one of the on call doctors an he told me that my ultrasound tech doctor wants me to be induced. So with that said I was due to start the process by 4:30 pm that day. I got to the hospital anxious to finally be here at this point of my pregnanct finally. They gave me Cervadol which was like a flat version of a tampon that they put behind my cervix to ripen it. The doc said it might work or it might not. So all I could do was cross my fingers an hope for the best. Well luckily it worked an I stayed at 1 cm dilation for about a good 6-7 hours but my effacement was at about 60% an improving. Later on the nurse gave me a pain med to help me fall asleep. I was knocked out for a while....till the contractions started kickin in an getting worse. I did everything from sittin on the bouncy ball (it really works!!!) to being on my hands an knees rockin my hips while my mother massaged my lower back. So at about 3 am the midwife came in again because she was changin shifts an she told me that she wanted me to wait until I was 4 cm dilated before I got the epidural. She checked me again an finally I was 2-2 1/2 cm dilated. I was supposed to take a shower before the rest of the procedure was gonna finally start but Baby B heartrate they thought dipped again so they had to monitor her while I took another pain med an went back to sleep. Later the nurse came in at 5 am an gave me the Pictocin. Thats when things really got poppin!!! At about 9 am I was feeling the contractions like crazy. My time window is a little off but all I can remember is that at about 10 am around there I was literally on the bouncy ball cryin for an epidural. The midwife that was on call now said that I could get the epidural anytime I wanted to, or until the pain was just too much. I was tryin to hold out for as long as I could. I finally got the epidural but the guy that was putting it in couldn't get the right place. I literally got stuck 10 times with the needle to numb the area then put the epidural in because since my back muscles were so strong from being athletic everytime I had a contraction he would lose the place an have to start all over again. So when I finally recieved it I felt better an was able to nod back off to sleep...minus the nurses coming in an checkin my cervix an dilation. I finally got to the point where the midwife broke my water...again I don't remember the time lol. But, thats when the contractions came back again 10 times harder the epidural wasn't even doin anything, they tried givin me different pain meds but they didn't work. I was havin back contractions now that reached all the way into my buttock an that was no fun. The midwife came in an checked again an said I was 9 cm dilated an effacement was 90%. So with that they rolled me off into the OR, just because I had twins it was like a safety precaution just in cause I needed to have an emergency C-section. When delivery started I was in so much pain!! I went in the delivery room at 6 pm an had Saniia Kimberly at 6:24 pm weighing 6lbs 3oz then her sister Brianna Natasha came 7 minutes after weighing 4lbs 3oz. They had to take her to the NICU because she was so little. But afterwards I was able to hold Saniia an bond with her then go down to NICU to see Brianna. She was so little but she wasnt eating so she had to stay in NICU for 2-3 days. I got her out on Sunday an now shes home with me!! Pics comin soon.. Saniia Brianna A little clipart lol Side by side border="0">
