Dang that AF!!!!!!!! She showed again!! I am taking a couple months off to lose some weight and be selfish!! Recharge that batterey! I am too frustrated and chubby to try right now, I will hit the gym lose a bunch-o-weight and get back to my concieving weight! If I stop right now I won't feel like I am starving might might-be-baby! Not that I would be starving myself but, being more cautious about what I eat! I have a 400lb woman living inside me and she is trying to get out and I just wanna take some time to put her in her place. She has run rampant for tooo long! Feb I will try again, whats 2 months off! I will still keep in touch with my friends here though!!!! I need to hear about your BFP'S!!! I will still cheer you guys on!!!!!! I just need to take a break and attack the chub!! :) :)

I just got back into town from the Christmas, Birthday, New years, it is GOOD to be home! Gotta love family! We stayed 1 night with the in-laws. Then, my hubby and I got a chance to get away for 4 nights on our own with the dogs at the beach in Washington, the family has a beach house so it was super fun! That was soooo needed! We jumped into our 2ww there! We are not hard core trying just aware of the window! I test Jan 10th! I have been on my work out kick and doing well only 50 million more pounds to lose! :) Good luck to all you tryiers and buninovens!!!!!
Thursday, 3 Jan
Darn it!!! I think I am having the AF signs! Little cramps just like last month. Not to be pessimistic but I am sure AF is coming. Oh well, better luck next month.
Wednesday, 9 Jan
OK day 25 AF is right around the corner. I can `t wait to start counting again! Hurry up and get here AF! I am doing the work out like a wild woman thing. I have heard if you lose some weight, it can encourage fertility. I am not gigantic but I `m not skinny. I saw on the news a lower carb low sugar high meat & veggies can increase fertillity too. They say no soda too. Diet or regular. Ok I am on this. It can `t hurt! Of course I `ve got the vitamins going too. Next month I have an appointment with a fertillity guy and start drawing blood to see if there is anything else I can do or missing. That will be 6 months of BFN! Wish me luck! :)
The bun is back in the oven!!!! :) I just can `t beleive it!!! I totally have the exact same cramps as AF! Weird!! It just doesn `t seem real yet! I did the remaining test this morning and it was even darker than last night. I used a Rite Aide store brand 5 day early test. The cheapie version. It showed up right away on day 25. I am just having a few BB twinges. I did think it was weird when I went to Petco last night is smelled REALLY dirty. I thought, `poor animals have to live in this smell, Petco has really gone down hill. ` It turned out it was just my new sensitive nose! :) I have been floating around all day at work like I am in love!!! Gotta love those new hormones! Oh yeah, another sign I had was when I flossed my teeth my gums bled like CRAZY. They usually don `t much. I am usually pretty good about it, but this was a lot of blood. Weird. I am being cautiously optomistic, after the last 2 m/c I am happy but guarded too. This one has to be the happy ending, the third time is the charm, right?! I am so excited, but right now, I need a nap! Thanks for all of your support girlies! That baby dust is strong stuff!! Baby dust to all of you!
Sunday, 13 Jan
Still AF cramps, if I didn `t have that test to tell me I was BFP I would still swear AF was coming. I never thought I would be so happy to have such sucky cramps! I am super scared this one won `t stick. I just can `t think about that, put it out of my mind. I am going to try not to tell the outside world untill 3 months. I am just so happy , I feel like I am in love! That fun floaty feeling. Hormones are funny! The other day at work I was sitting there on break with not a thought in my head and my eyes just started watering and then my nose. I was crying for no reason at all. :) not sobbing, but enough to make me think huh?? 5 min later I was giggling with my co workers. Roller coaster here I go!!
Monday, 14 Jan
Feeling Good! I am 2 days late now whooohooo! Crampy still and Super tired. I still keep checking for AF to start. I can `t get my brain to believe it!
Tuesday, 15 Jan
I feel really weird today, dizzy and foggy. Nautious and these boob attacks are outta no where. All of a sudden major sharp pain and aches, boob attack is the only way to describe it! :)
Wednesday, 16 Jan
I could stare at that countdown thing all day!! Fun! Fun! 5 days late!!!! Yay!
Thursday, 17 Jan
I can `t wait for my appointment Jan. 28th! I will be 6 weeks then. I hope they can see a heartbeat by then. I think they will draw blood and do an ultrasound. Yay!!!! I am so excited!!
Friday, 18 Jan
I had so much energy yesterday....I am wiped out today! Yesterday I went on a cleaning RAMPAGE! Super tired! I can `t wait to sleep all weekend!!! Yay!!!
Wednesday, 23 Jan
Here comes the nausea!!! Wow, I am drooly face. I walk around all drooly like just before you throw up, but all day. I feel the worst after I eat. Like if I `m not careful up its coming. At least the cramps are gone now!! I am still very happy to be kinda miserable. :)
Tuesday, 29 Jan
OMG!!!!OMG!!! TWINS!!!! When it rains it pours!!!!!! Yay!!! They saw two little seperate sacks and one heartbeat in each sack! They said the wall between them looks thick, wich is a good thing! Two seperate placentas. They don't know if identical or fraternal yet. I guess I get more info on that later. I will go back in two weeks. My hubby didn't believe me when I told him. That was fun! They said its really early on so be cautious one might not stick, just so I know. But for now I am super happy and today I have two!! Yay!!. I must nap now, I am melting!!
Thursday, 31 Jan
All is well so far! Nausea, big time, but I haven `t gotten sick yet. Constipation is always fun too! Citricel is my friend. Ginger ale and ginger tea are a lifesaver. I went to Costco and wanted to eat the entire bakery section, 5 min later it totally sounded yuck. My poor hubby, he does all the cooking and he makes me something and half way through ugh! Yuck! The dr said to just stay really hydrated and take my vitamin if everything is yuck !
Monday, 4 Feb
Nausea totally rocks!!! I can `t wait until this part is done. I haven `t thrown up yet but boy do I want to. I am so afraid if I start I won `t stop. UGH! I am still very happy to be miserable. :) It will all be worth it I keep telling myself. I am a sissy! :)
Tuesday, 5 Feb
I had to come home early from work today because I was so pathetic with my nausea. I started in on all the remidies, seabands, B6, lemonade, gingerale. They seemed to help. UGH! I feel totally like I drank too much and paying for it. Bleah! OK done wineing now, Thanks!
Thursday, 7 Feb
I can `t wait for my appointment on monday, I will be 8wks YaY! I am so nervous. I am pretty sure everything is still going by how sick I am. I just don `t want to take it for granted. It will be my hubbys first time seeing them. I can `t wait to see his face!!! OK! I can not stop shopping for these guys, it is so much fun!!! I suck at keeping them a secret, I can `t not tell people! That is so hard!! I don `t know how anybody can keep it quiet for 3 months!! Thanks to all of you and your great advice!! I just can `t thank you guys enough!!!! :)
Monday, 11 Feb
Yay! Great ultrasound today!! My hubby was in tears and we got to see both heartbeats and hear them too!!! It was SOOO COOL!! Dr said strong healthy babies! That made all this yucky worth it! :)
Wednesday, 13 Feb
I forgot to tell you that I get a guranteed epidural!! Yay!! Likely c-section, I am ok with that too. The dr said they have to deliver in the operating room just in case things take a bad turn and I have to have an emergency c-section! Cool! She also said there will be no privacy when I have these, that there will be like 12 people or more in the room not including my hubby and I. 2 pediatricians, 2 surgeons, an anethesiologist 2 ob drs, a bunch of emergency staff ect. That is a lot of people looking at my gear!!!!:) This is going to be pricey. Thank God for insurance. That `s the low down. :)
Saturday, 16 Feb
The kids were nicer to me today!! They gave me a little break from the yuckies!! YaYYYYY!!!!! I almost forgot what it was like to feel normal. My next appointment is March 10th and I will be 12wks then. The books say the babies will be 3 inches long then! Crazy!!! I still can `t believe this is happening to me!! I have denial attacks. One of the things I got my hubby for Valentines day were 2 little bibs that said `I love my Daddy ` he cried again. I am getting good at this now! :)He NEVER used to get sappy to that extent. He is a total marshmallow now, its a good thing!!
Monday, 25 Feb
YAYYY! The yuckies are DEFINATELY letting up now. Yayyyyy! I don `t appreciate how good it feels to feel good until the crummies take over. I am just so happy they are few and farther between. I feel like I just might be able to do this now! 10 weeks is the magic number for me I guess. The paranoid part of me worries about the symptoms being less but I still have to pee all of the time so thats a good sign. This going to be fun now!!!
Monday, 3 Mar
All is well! I am just starting to get really nervous for my 12wk ultasound. It is on mon march 10th. Once I am past that I can just relax and enjoy! It is a long time and a lot of changes that happen between 8&12wks. I wish I could hit the fast forward button! :) The m/s is pretty much gone yayyy! I lost 6lbs with it and I have gained it back, so now I am at my starting weight Yay! I am still the napping queen!! I have checked out every book from the library on twins I can get my hands on. I think I am in for a big ride the first couple of months!! It `ll be fun, we will just have to try to giggle our way through it! Thats all we can do! My friends are getting super excited too! They already have my shower date. One of the fun games for it they are going to have is a raffle for something and to enter the raffle you have to bring a pack of diapers. I'm not big on games but that will help with the 15 diapers a day I/we will be changing! People keep unloading their baby stuff on me and I am getting a really good jump on things!! Gotta love free stuff! If I am only using this stuff for 3 months or so why not???? I've got all of the basics, now I just need the babies. I am soaking up the sleep now while I can! Thank you all for your help and putting up with my endless questions!!! Take care!! :)
Monday, 10 March
YAYYYY! 12 wks and the kids are GREAT!! 152 heartrate & 160 heartrate!! I officially have babies YAYYY! They didn `t move around a bunch but they were wigggly! One had its hand over its face AWWW! I go back in 4 wks and no u/s then, just listen to heartbeats and measure me. They said the u/s won `t be necessary if they can hear the hearbeats. Now I will let myself get excited!! We are now telling anyone who will listen that we `re preggers! No more secret! So much fun!!
Tuesday, 18 Mar
All is going well! The heartburn fairy has arrived at my house! I still get waves of nausea here and there but nothing like it was. Today I was totally craving potatoes with chili and cheese, no wonder I have heartburn !!! I keep thinking I feel a thump every once in a while. In my world its TOTALLY the babies even though its probably not. Its still fun to think! We told anyone that will listen and everyone is super happy and super shocked its twins! I feel like I look 6 months preggo I `ve gained 8lbs! Yay! I feel like every day I am Thanksgiving full. There `s not as much room in there as there was!
Tuesday, 8 April
Yay!! My 16 week appointment went great today!! The kids are doing well! 148 and 152 heartrates! I look 7 months pregnant! I am big momma! I have gained a total of 12 lbs but it feels like way more! I still haven't felt anything for sure yet. Nothing consistent, little bumps and vibraty things. I am just now really starting to like this whole second trimester thing! I can eat! But just when you can eat they tell you to slow down, NO FAIR!! I am trying to get my extra protein in, that all the books say I need, but that has calories UGH! Oh well, I will just do what I want and try not to eat much of the fatty stuff! TRY is the key word! This is getting more fun now and people are starting to ask if I am pregnant! YaYYY! Thank you all you mommies and to be's for all of the wonderful advice!!
Saterday April 12th
YaYY! The quad marker screening test came back normal! Whew! Next friday the 18th I get my amnio to confirm all is well! I just don't want any surprises.
Sunday April 20th
Whew!! The amnio is over!! Ouch!! It was friday and I was 18 weeks. They had to do 2 pokes. The first one they took out the sample and then they put a dye back in so when they did the second poke they would know if the perforated the membrane. The second poke wasn't bad at all. All is well so far and no perforation!! I guess they worry about leakage for the first 48 hours and nothing so far. I had to be a lump all weekend so that was nice. The ultrasound before was super fun!! They were waving and swallowing. One kept putting it hand over its face. One baby was sitting on the other so we were able to see it really well and the other not so much. I could have done that all day. The heartrates were 148 and 142. They said they had all of their important anantomy and they look good as far as the ultrasound measurements. They were able to do the 3D pictures too and the babies were all lumpy and looked like they were made of clay. They said they look normal and its because they don't have any fat on them yet so they look weird. I didn't know that amniotic fluid is just baby pee and cells. Its gross that they swallow it, but I guess we all did at that stage. We get the results from the amnio in 2 weeks. I was told it takes that long to grow the babies cells on a petrie dish and then break the chromosomes apart to see how they are. I thought they tested for 40 differnt things, boy was I wrong, they test for 1000 possiable illnesses. They can then name it and tell you how it will effect, to what severity, the baby. I was surprised how complete it is. Technology is amazing. It is just nice to be able to have a tool to plan for, so there are no surprises on our happy day that they are born. That's the low down!!
Sunday, May 4th (20 weeks)
The amnio results came back great on both kids! Whew!!! Its nice to be able to feel them move a little bit now. Its super fun! Crazy dreams, sleepy and heartburn are my big battles. I can't complain! I found out that plus size clothes are way cheaper than maternity clothes and they fit just as well, more variety! I still had to get some maternity stuff but still, its nice to have other options! I am getting big and I can't imagine what I am going to look like in 4 months! I am looking 8 months along now! I guess I'll just have to enjoy the ride, its not forever!
Wed May 7th 2008 (20 weeks)
So, the other night I rolled over in bed and all of a sudden I felt this feeling like I just rolled over onto a 4 inch trout! It felt like I was laying on a fish, a big one and it was flopping around! I thought when I felt that it would be a cute little flutter, NO WAY! That scared me for a second, it was a big feeling, you couldn't miss it! Then I thought I had squished the cat, then I rememberd oh yeah, I'm pregnant, that was the babies. It was the middle of the night.:) I just thought I would share that, its not necesarily a cute little flutter. With a feeling like that, I find it hard to believe that there are people out there that can go through a whole pregnancy and not know they are preggers! It was super fun once I figured out what it was!!
Wed June 4th 2008
6 months! I can't belive it!!! 24 weeks, it just crazy! I have two 2lb babies in there! I just had my ulrasound again and all is well! They are measuring 2 weeks ahead and looking strong! I am 24 weeks but my tummy measures 34 weeks! Big Mama!!! Their feet are under my ribs and they are both head down! I feel great except for the heartburn and having to go pee every 5 minutes. I have the bladder that crys wolf! Baby A is moving like crazy and baby B just had its first hiccups!

How funny but sweet your hubby doing that ow to have been a fly on the wall!

charlotte74 - Friday, 23 May I will let you know what they say! when i was at the do last Friday i was sat next to a Midwife so she gave me loads of advice..... she said the best advice i can give you is that its your birth noone elses so you can call the shots, you don't have to be induce and you don't have to have a c section, if one of the twisn is feet first as he or she may turn when the first twin is born!
Does it feel like sometimes they are trying to get out of your down below! i sometimes feel that there hands are trying to find a way out???
Wow 3lbs that so small....... i keep reading in newspaper that twins are being born at 23-24 weeks so now i am getting really parnoid!
Got our 3d/4d scan tomorrow i can't wait to see what they are up to, i find it really strange that we can see them (spy on them) and they can't see us they can here us it must be strange for them!!!

But like you we are having white cotbeds and white furniture! I have gone netural on their bedding beige and cream from mama and papas as they will share a cot for a while and didn't think it fair for the boy to sleep in pink and vicer versar with the girl!
Your babies nursery sounds so cute!
Oh dear i hope you said that you are pregnant Not fat!!!
People keep sayin how neat i look i just have a bump and from behind i don't look pregnant!
Went to the doctors again today and i have been signed off again for another week with my back, he is referring me to antenal physo! and has told me that i should only work a couple hours a day and then come home, i have spoken to work and they are happy with that! my doctor was all prepared to sign me off for the rest of the pregnancy but i am woried that my work wouldn't pay my maternity allowance!

charlotte74 - Sunday, 18 May Just got back from the baby show wow got some bargins we finally found and brought a double pram its a I Candy Pear its great can't wait to use it! we got it very cheap normally retails at over £1000 which includes everything and the car seats and isofix bases and we got it for £810! so we have more money to spend now on the babies! The prams great as it turns into a single so i can push the pram and Tony can have one in one of those carry thingies!
Just the cot beds to get now nearly there!!!! how are you doing?
Have you got your pram yet? might be worth having a look at the I Candy Pear!
97 wow thats hot lots of iced drinks!
We have started a trend with twins i wonder which celeb will be next?
Get Hubby to massager your feet or treat youirself to a massager bath!
The do was good, and yep got lots of looks and wow twins!!

charlotte74 - Thursday, 15 May 36 weeks!! are you going to give up before (i hope you do)
I am glad you are feeling better, i was sick this morning.... nice hopefully it was just a one off!
I have one of those back massagers must get it out the loft!
I met a lady when i was in town today who had 5 week old twin boys how cute and how small! that will be us soon!
I also watched a twin birth pregnancy on you tube last night and cried HORMONES!!!!!
How lovely, is it a special ocassion you could have a little glass of wine, i have started to have a glass of wine with lemonade (more lemonade then wine) at the weekend just one tho, or red wine with lemonade thats nice!
We are at posh do tomorrow night too in London its a black tie do so i have had to find a posh dress not easy!
x
charlotte74 - Wednesday, 14 May 2 hour scan wow thats long or scand has lasted about 1/2 an hour, it will be intresting to see how your babies weight. I am just a little worried as i don't think i am eating enough but don't fel hungry?
It isn't fun i agree but it will be so worth it in the end too look into their eyes! i got abit teary last night as my back is really bad and i went to run a bath and came over very light headed thought i was going to faint! so nope its not fun when that happens but its great fun when your tshirt moves when they move!
If you have another one of those turns young lady i think you should just go and get your blood pressure checked out!
When are you leaving work? i am leaving the 4th July i will be 30 weeks. Mind you off to the doctors again tomorrow to see what she says about my back fingers crossed she will sign me off again.

Mommy2twogreatkids - Sunday, 11 May I know it is still too early for me to feel them move but does it feel like 2 babies like a little octopus? That is how I kep imagining it. Congrats and I hope all is well
charlotte74 - Sunday, 11 May Its odd as i have days when they don't move alot and then others when they move heaps! i'm glad your babies are fine tho..... we do worry but its only normal you wait till they are born!!!
I'm hoping that my little boy will turn fingers crossed!
You wait till it pops out completely we went shopping yesterday and i have never seen so many pregnant women it did make me laugh as we all looked at each others bumps!!!
Is hubby home yet? its Sunday in London, sounds like you have a good man and a born worrier too, my feet were hurting so much from shopping yesterday that Tony (my partner) gave me a foot massager we have got 2 great men!
I am still waiting for my craving.... mind you my appretiate is probably smaller then it was before we fell pregnant!
I tried to go on that website but i think its just for Americans?
We had Mothers day in March when we were in Mexico Happy Mummys Day!

Juniper willow - Sunday, 11 May Happy Mother's Day, dear sister. Glad to see all is still going well!!!
