Hey! thanks for checking in! My computer crashed so I am computerless for now but hopefully will have another one soon...anyway, big news all is well!!! Woohoo...I actually had two ultrasounds well actually three this week...golly..an u/s whore.:) Okay so I went Tuesday and we saw a prefectly shaped sac but no embryo. But my doc assured me I was just too early..so I was happy...but then Tuedsay night I got very ill, dizzy and blurred vision and my back hurt all day and I had sharp pains that lasted into wednesday...I kepy telling myself all was well but there was that worry...so this morning I went for ultrasound two to a German doctor and he saw a yolk sac but he said his machine wasn't very good and for my piece of my mind he wanted to show me a heartbeat so he sent me over to the hospital and they have an awesome machine best ultrasound I ever saw and they blast it on a big screen for you and wallah..there was my 3mm little baby and my tiny little heart pumping away so all is well today!:)
My next ultrasound in June 4..my back pain has dissapated but I am taking it easy this weekend...no spotting though...so I am full speed ahead with little worry...:)My husband was a bit dubious that I needed the second ultrasound today but I tried to expain to him once again how worrisome it can be to think all is okay and then suddenly it is not...a picture, THANK YOU GOD, takes away a thousand worries..so my little tiny tiny bean is pumping away...)thans again for checking in!

hopefulmom2b - Wednesday, 28 May

DeannaMay - Wednesday, 28 May
Hey,When i was prego with my daughter i got a lump\knot in my boob...i was so worried about it.....they sent me in for an ultrasound...and it turned out to be a cyst!My friend told me she had gotton one after her pregnancy as well...so i think its common...i wouldnt stress over it..its probably what it is!
My husband is still hurtin..looks like he will be off work for sometime...thank god for workers comp...or wed be broke and going into major debt!!They sent him for more xrays..he has a fractured ankle and 6 broken bones in his foot!im frustrated with the situation because he is home but cant do much,and there is so much to do....we are starting to bicker alot...i cant wait for him to go back to work,lol!!
My little girl is so cute...she comes up and hugs my belly and says"hi babies"all the time...she knows they are in there...but i dont think she knows that they are going to be coming out!!!
Well let me know how your appt went xoxo!

DeannaMay - Tuesday, 27 May
Hey,just checking in....glad to see that your ultrasound went well...Babies sound like they are doing good...are you feeling them move anymore lately??
Did you get your splints to wear at night?If so ...do you find that they help??I have to get some support stockings to wear for my legs...still cramping up quite a bit and am getting some ugly vericose viens!!!!ahhhh....get these babies out of me,haha!

hopefulmom2b - Monday, 26 May
Hey, I actually slept awesome last night. Well, I actually didn't get to sleep until after 2 am and took 2 tylenol pm and slept until 11:45 today! I haven't slept that long in forever! And i only got up once to go to the bathroom. I started noticing last night that I have some mild restless leg syndrome. But only mild, I can't imagine if I had it for real! I bet it is so annoying!

I hope yall have a great cook out today! We had Arby's...how exciting! well, I actually had a chicken salad sandwich without the bread. I'll be interested to see what my blood sugar is later. My steroid shots are screwing up my blood sugar like crazy! I'm sure my dr. is going to have a fit tomorrow! I hate to tell him though that my birthday is Friday and I plan on eating what i want...especially Birthday cake, it's my favorite food ever!

I hope that the lump is just a milk duct, i'm sure it is. Good luck tomorrow. I can't imagine not having an U/S every week! I'm spoiled! I have another NST tomorrow then an U/S and my drs visit.

Look forward to hearing from you tomorrow! Hope you and your honey had a great day!
Mary Beth

hopefulmom2b - Sunday, 25 May
Well, it's not surprizing to me that they think I will go soon. the average delivery after the surgery I had is 31 weeks, so I'm actually expected to beat the odds so I'm glad. Plus, I don'y want to have to deal with my gestational diabetes any longer than i have to. I have had steroid shots today and yesterday so my blood sugars are haywire!

I'm glad you are feeling a little better! I know having pain in your feet is aweful.

It's good and bad that my husband is home. Once the boys get here it will be great but until then I think we are going to drive each other crazy!

What is going on with your boob? Are you still home bound? I would think at some point they would take some of your restrictions away if you are doing well.

I also have my appt on tues. this week instead of thurs.

juniper willow - Sunday, 25 May
Hey! thanks for checking in and for the encouraging words! Felt much better after my nap yesterday..breats are still sore so I am happy..:) Husband in a better mood today so that helps too.:) Unfortunately, my computer crashed and died yetserady so now I have to go to the library to check mail a whole 30 minutes away so I will probably not post again til Tuesday..and then I will post the good news..so until then have a good weekend...

allyson - Saturday, 24 May
Hi hon, glad that the u/s went well. Your boy and girl are getting big! Are you sure you can't have a vaginal birth, just because they are breech now, does that mean they will stay that way? Well, I guess whatever works, huh? Either way, girl, we are getting close are you nervous at all? I sure am. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the names you have picked out for your babies! Connor of course I love that :o) and, PIPER MAKENNA I love too, and it sounds great! I've got the same complaints this far, and you are right it could be alot worse! We are doing well, the boys too, hanging in there! Have you got the babies room ready yet? XOXXOO ALLY

hopefulmom2b - Friday, 23 May
Well the NST went well, I will have another on Tues. My u/s was good except for the fact that my cervix has shortened and I have some funneling. I'm not sure the exact length, but it makes me very paranoid every time I get up to go to the bathroom or get up for any reason! My dr. thinks I will have the boys in the next 2-3 weeks!! Kind of scarry! He doesn't thin kI will make it to 34 weeks, but wants me to make it to at least 32. I will have another round of betamethasone shots this weekend to help with lung developement.

The boys weigh 2 lb 14 oz and 2 lb 15 oz.... oh so close to 3 lbs. I really want them to make it to 4 lbs!

As for the gestational diabetes, it's a bitch. I am hungry all the time. i still haven't been able to get my blood glucose levels to be under where they want it. I don't know how they expect the boys to grow on such little food. i didn't gain an ounce this past week, i think I actually lost a little. It's very frustrating. I need a personal chef for the next 3 weeks!

Today was my hubbies last day of school. He came home and did his annual start of summer dance for me. He's a nut! I'm glad he is done though, especially since it is getting so close to time.

Hope you are still doing well! Mary Beth

everythingX2 - Friday, 23 May
thanks so much for ur reply. i was thinking im going off my head..... and when i was saying to my partner he always says i make him worry and thats all im doing etc. but all i wanted was some reassurance. and we see them move like gymnasts all the time on the scans too.

juniper willow - Friday, 23 May
I know Allyson thinks twins too...I woudl be ecstatic on that news..but I want to focus on being ecstatict hat my litlle one is thriving..if it is a double Blessing then that would be wonderful!!:) I 'll let you know the numbers of the new HCG this afternoon and definitely will post Tuesday right after the u/s. Yep, my honey is going to this one...not sure he'll be able to make all future ones either but definitely wanted to meet our children/child together!:) I am very happy he will be there...oh I so wishit were Tuesday but all n good time...the firts packing session went well, we had very kind movers. Our next and final pack is June 10 so we are getting the house ready...have a great weekend!

juniper willow - Friday, 23 May
I am so glad that all went went well! Yeah!! How cute the hiccups! Congrats and happy weekend...all still going amazingly strong here...my first u/s is Tuesday and we can't wait to see our little one.. I wihs it were tomorrow...:)have a great weekend!

hopefulmom2b - Thursday, 22 May
Great weights! I have my NST and appt later today. I will write you later to give you a full update! I'm glad that you had such a great report!!!!

juniper willow - Tuesday, 20 May
THat is funny....I check in on you daily too..:) thanks for checking in!

Yep, I am excited...just taking a quick break from packing and cleaning...trying not to exhaust or push myself...but I hate watching others work while I rest...and the first set of movers are coming tomorrow, pregnant or not..

Thanks so much for the prayers..this baby is floating on those prayers I know it...

I have absolutely no fear with this child an dthat in itself is so beautiful!!

But don't worry I am being super careful resting often, drinking lot sof agua and doing my shots and meds...the shots are actually not bad at all...

hopefulmom2b - Tuesday, 20 May
Yes, as expected i did not pass! I'm not at all surprised, my sister had gestational diabetes and she wasn't having twins. I don't think it will be too bad. I am actually looking forward to eating healthier. I am tired of being fed fast food, ect. I know everyone is being sweet and just trying to help, but I really do crave the healthy stuff. I'm hoping it will make an impression on my husband too. He has terrible eating habits!

The boys weighed 2 lb 8 oz and 2 lb 9 oz this past Thurs. I was really hoping they would have been at least 3 lbs, but maybe this week! I have a busy Thurs this week. i have my first non-stress test at 3, followed by an u/s and doctors visit, and probably a meeting with the nutritionalist.

According to my monitoring the # of contractions varies. I don't have a lot during the first part of the week and get more frequent near the end of the week. i think this is because i get my 17-P shot on Fridays which is supposed to help calm the uterus. All I know is that I am getting huge. I measured the circumference of my belly tonight and it is 51 inches!

I'm sorry to hear that you continue to suffer foot pain and restless leg syndrome! Night time is so hard anyway, without having to deal with that!

I can't wait to hear about your visit Thurs. Will they measure their weight? It will be interesting to see how close they are to the boys. I'm still confused about the fact that I have gestational diabetes yet the babies aren't growing bigger than usual and I still have only gained about 9 lbs total? Oh well, I'll just do whatever they tell me!

Glad to hear you are doing well! Mary Beth

hopefulmom2b - Monday, 19 May
Hey girl, I just wanted to check in. I haven't heard from you lately. Just making sure everything is ok.
XXOO Mary Beth

nadgiev - Saturday, 17 May
Hey Karol,
Just wanted to stop by and let you know I really appreciate your support, your prayers, your attention and your love for our boys.
They're getting big! I can't wait until they can come home. Every day is a roller coaster and emotionally, it's very draining.
Today...it's been "one of those days" for me! But those moments don't last long. After I cry for a minute, I take a deep breath, thank God for my babies and go on.
I think about you and your two angels often. Hope you're feeling well and everything is going great!
Take Care

hopefulmom2b - Friday, 16 May
hey girl! Just a quick update. Now in week 29 and the boys are doing good! I had my GTT today but won't find out the results until monday. i don't really think I will pass. I have had 5+ glucose in my urine for the last 3 weeks. I also had my first steroid shot today to help with lung development. Just precautionary, but it sure makes me feel a little better about their impending arrival!

We finally named the boys:
Hunter Banks Ingle and Jackson Joe Ingle

I hope you are doing great!
XXOO

DeannaMay - Wednesday, 14 May
I know what you mean about being out of breath by just doing very little...isnt it awful!!!My husband tells me ive developed this really loud snoring problem as well....cant be that bad,i didnt even think i got to sleep,but apparantly i do,haha!
Blah...is how i feel lately,ive started to get some pelvic pain lately when i walk.....i got the same pain my first pregnancy but not till the very end....i am hoping it goes away or at least i can get used to it!Overall im tired of being tired,and peeing every minute,haha...i swear its crazy..i empty my bladder before i go to bed,then once i get into bed and comfortable i have to go all over again.....its such a bitch to roll out of bed as well:)
Well ,like you i probably could go on and on about complaints...but lets look on the bright side......only a couple months left...at least its not only the begginning:)

Mommy2twogreatkids - Monday, 12 May
