March 19th - I had my beautiful twins!!!!!35weeks 6days (due date April 17)
I got out of work at 3:00pm went to the clinic to pick up something for my son an went home and I wasn't there 15minutes and my water broke so back up to the hospital I went at around 3:45, I had the twins at 8:01pm and 8:02pm. I ended up having a c-section because the Dr. said that twin A- Alexis was smaller and they wanted twin B - Ayden to come first and he was breech so with my decision we decided a c-section would be safer. My Dr. said that I could try to have them natural but where Alexis was coming first and smaller there was a chance that Ayden would get stuck the Dr. also explained that where Ayden was breech they might have to try to turn him and if that didn't work I'd have to have a c-section It just seem to me that I could possible have Alexis natural but there was a good chance that I would have Ayden by c-section and to many possiblities were making me nervous about him needing to be turned and possible getting stuck. So we just decided to do the section. Ayden weighed 4lbs 13oz. and Alexis weighed 4lbs 10oz. we all went home 4 days later and are doing perfect
Where to begin? I have been with my husdand for 17 yrs married 11yrs, we have two children Clarissa 14yrs old and Cody 10years old, and now we are expecting TWINS.
August 21, 2007 - I haven't been on this site since Aug. 10th I had to create another vip page I couldn't remember my password. LOL ( I've been on Vac. )My user name before was (Tina3) nows its (Tina3.)
June 12th I found out I was pregnant on July 9 I went for an ultra sound it was determined I had a Blighted Ovum. I had a DNC on July 11th.
August 8th I took a home PT test it was a faint positive.
August 14th I took another test and that one was also positive.
August 16 - I went in to check my hormones levels to confirm I was pregnant and not just reading pregnant from my recent miscarriage.
August 18th - Went back in to check hormones levels.
It was confirmed on August 20th that I am 5 weeks pregnant.
August 28 - Today I had my first u/s to see that this pregnancy was okay because I had a miscarriage in July. I was told by the technician that I was having TWINS. I was able to see both of them and their heartbeats one was 122 and the other was 125. Everything looks good.
October 1, - Now 11 wks and today I had an u/s because I had some spotting on Sept. 27, 28. The u/s showed that I had a marginal placenta previa. I was told that its nothing to worry about and another u/s would be done in 6wks to see if my placenta had moved up to where it should be. I'm hoping to find out at this u/s what I'm having, I can't wait!!!Heart rates were 128bpm and 145bpm.
October 23, - Now 14wks 6days. I've noticed the past week I'm finally feeling the babies move, its so strange at first its like you can't breath or you think 'was that it' but I 've noticed I'm feeling it alot more lately. I think a good way of expaining it is that its like a twitch at first. Tomorrow I go in for my routine check up, pretty excited about that I get to hear their heart beats, so far I've only been able to see them.
October 24 - 15wks Had my appointment everything went good. I was able to HEAR both the heart beats for the first time one was 149bpm and the other one was 160bpm, my next u/s is scheduled for Nov. 14, can't wait to find out what I'm having!!!
November 6 - 17weeks I found out that I expecting a BOY, and the other baby looks like it might be a GIRL, I will find out for sure on Nov. 14 if it is a girl or not. We are so happy!!! looks like we'll have one of each.
If anyones noticed I did change my due date to April 17 instead of April 16, the u/s tech had giving me both of those dates but she seems to go by April 17 so I changed it.
November 14 - 17wks 7days, Well not 100% sure its a girl but the tech said she's 98% sure, she just can't seem to get a really good picture. All went well babies are doing great. I was told they are about 7oz. and 6 in. long. I have gained a total of 4lbs. I was told that was okay because the babies are great and right where they should be.
Nov. 17 - I think we have decided on their names... Ayden Bryant and Alexis Kaylyn for the Girl.
December 17th - 22wks Today I had my routine check up, heartbeats were great, measured the right size, and have gained a total of 10lbs. My next u/s is scheduled for Dec. 26th, I can't wait!]
December 26 - 23wks 6days - Had my u/s everthing is great, heartbeats, babies are measuring at 1lbs 5 oz. I feel so lucky that everything is going so well!!
January 7, almost 26weeks - I had an appointment today with the prenatal coordinator to fill out paperwork for the hospital. My weight was taken and I've gained a total of 14lbs.
January 31, 29wks today - I had u/s and appt. yesterday the babies are 2 lbs 11 oz each. I was told that they are a little over average for their weight. I was happy to hear that! Alexis is breech right now she has turned and Aydin is transverse. Still time for her to move, I hope!
February 18, 31wks 4days. I spent about 4hours in L&D having contractions, about 5 minutes apart. I was given a shot to stop them which worked right a way. I was also given a shot to mature the babies lungs in case they end up coming early. They wanted to keep me over night but decided to let me go home since I only live 2minutes away. I was also given some med. to take if my contractions returned. I was told that after 36 weeks if the contrations start again they will let me deliver them.
February 20, 31wks 6days, I had an u/s and baby baby girl is head down Yay ! and baby boy is transverse. She weighs around 4lbs 1oz. and he weighs 3lbs 10oz. They are doing great. Can't wait for them to be here!!!!
March 2 - Had my surprise baby shower I got so much stuff. I'm ready for them.
March 3, 33wks 5days.- Had an appt. today so far I have gained 23lbs. Heartbeats were great and everything looks good. March 6th I have an u/s.
March 6, 34wks - I had an u/s today and they are doing great. Alexis weighs around 5lbs 2oz. and is measuring 34wks 4days and Ayden weighs around 4lbs 13oz. and is measuring 34wks 2days. I am so happy with how big their getting. My 14yr old daughter was 2wks early and she weighed 5lbs 12oz. and my son was 4 days early and was 6lbs 8oz. Depending on how long I carry they may be bigger then my son..LOL
March 18, 35wks, 5days - I found out I am 1cm and 50% effaced. Not really to much going on yet..LOL also NST and babies looked great. Also had my last u/s but tech wasn't able to get very good measurements, babies are pretty crowded. I was told 5lbs 6oz and 5lbs.
I love this picture of Clarissa and Alexis

As far as ear infections are concerned my ped advised me not to let water get in Camryn's ear when taking her a bath and also not to let her lay down and drink her bottle at the same time because the milk could seep into her ear causing an infection. Sorry about the little one...

The babies on my page aren't twins - they are boyfriend and girlfriend (or so we like to pretend). My baby is the girl and she's 2 1/2 weeks older than the boy.
clairebearsmom - Thursday, 26 June
My daughter is 8 months now. She became more content at around 5-6 months. She could sit up and play with her toys and didn't need me with her every sec. of the day. When she was first born she grunted all the time...she just never seemed relaxed. It was frustrating . Now she is the happiest baby around. She basically never cries and is great all day.

Do you have a nanny or send them somewhere?
dannie - Wednesday, 25 June
What adorable twins! I love the names you chose for them
dannie - Wednesday, 25 June
My son is 17 weeks now and at 14 weeks I think he had one longer wake period in the evening. So if his last nap was from 3-4:30, instead of being put back down at 6, he would show signs of being tired at 7:30. However, sometimes he would/still does show signs of wanting to go back down after an hour and a half. The book says that usually the first wake period to extend is the last one in the evening, or the first one of the day. Now because their naps can vary in length they won't always go down at EXACTLY the same time every day, but a pattern will start to develop. Are you going to get the book? That can explain it much better than I can! And I will tell you that you really have to dedicate the time and effort to get your babies use to sleeping. I wouldn't say it was difficult, but for the first 2 weeks or so, I really had to commit to the program and make that my priority. I planned my days around when Ryland would have to go down. It was tough, but the payoff is so worth it! Now that my son has become a much better napper (use to only nap for 20 minutes at a time, now anywhere from 1 hr - 2 1/2) I am able to plan my day much better. Like today, after waking at 6:30, I put him down at 8:00, he napped til 10 and I decided to see if he would stay awake for 3 hours instead of just 1 1/2. Well he stayed up for 3 hours and is now on his second nap of the day and so far he has been down for an hour and still sound asleep. His night sleep has also gotten better and he is sleeping later in the morning, use to get up at 5, but now he wakes between 6;30 and 7.

sorry, babies, you just had his babies, not baby
Crazyeights - Friday, 20 June
He is super helpful, when he can be. From your post I'm guessing yours isn't??? I'm so sorry your feeling so overwhelmed. Are you nursing on top of it all? Are your older kids helping at all? Don't forget your still postpartem and not quite yourself. Can you send a post with a little more of your situation so I have a better idea of what's wrong? It's so much better to know your not alone.

my daughter has a heart defect and has to take medication..so at 930 she gets a 1.5 ounce bottle with her medicine in it (so i know shes getting all her medicine)..then she usually drinks another 4 ounces after that...then she usually sips at another ounce or so as shes falling asleep around 1030-11.. i just let her sip as she wants..instead of waiting another 3 hours to feed her..so her tummy is full and she falls asleep
so all together id say just under 8 ounces in that hour or so... she usually drinks about 5- 5.5 in a sitting during the day
she weighs 12 pounds 8 ounces...but shes been sleeping through the night for almost 2 months now so I dont believe that :P.
downside to her sleeping through the night she almost always fills her diaper and leaks out by the morning as shes sleeping 9ish hours...no matter what brand of diaper I use it happens.

Oh I am sorry for the loss of your mother. That would be hard. I am sure she's looking down smiling on her beautiful new grandbabies though. And now she won't miss a second she will be able to see it all. My dad passed away when I was 9 and I know how hard the births of my children have been not being able to share it with him, I can only imagine if it was still fresh in my mind. I by no means want to down play the fact that it is hard, I hate it when older people tell me, its just a phase and to enjoy it. I know that, it doesn't make it less hard. It does make it easier to get thru the rough days reminding myself that we are not in this moment forever. My husband is very helpful with the house and THINKS he's helpful with the kids but he's not. He really just lets them do as they wish and leaves me to calm them down and clean up the mess. He thinks if they are happy he's doing a good job...Of course there happy, they are pulling curtains off the walls to make forts and eating all of the snacks in the house in an hour. He wants to be there best friend, then gets annoyed when I prioritize keeping track of all of them over cleaning the house.
momoffive - Thursday, 19 June
Wow, you are super mom for sure! I totally know how you are feeling. well, I have a small idea of it anyway :-) I have Sam who just turned 3 months, a foster daughter who is 3 years but only about 18 months emotionaly and a 3 year old son, then 5 and 8 year old both girls. I have days where I just cry. Do you have anyone that can help you? My best friend takes my little ones for me once and a while and it's a much needed break. For a long time I wouldn't ask. I felt like my hubby and I got ourselves into this and it wasn't anybody elses responsibility to get us thru it. Friends really do want to help though. I was near a break down before I asked and it was only out of nessecity. You have to take care of yourself to take care of your family. I just started walking for an hour a night after the kids have gone to bed. My husband goes to the gym on his lunch hour at work and I told him I want an hour to just do something for me every day! So I try to help him get the kids setteled in bed and then go walking. Is there something like that you could do. Maybe put one baby in a front pack and leave the other one with your husband? I know it's hard....Just try to remember we won't be in this phase in our lives forever. The babies will get older. I was pretty upset to find out I was pregnant ( I of course love him with all of my heart now). I was finally out of the diaper, putting on shoes, buckeling care seats phase and moving on to the just playing and enjoying phase. We did not anticipate Maddie needing quite so much, but we are rolling with it and they will get older. I love this site because we are here to remind each other. ok, now that I have rambled :-) If you ever need to vent feel free to send me a message, I only have a fraction on my shoulders that you do and my "twins" are older but I do know how stressful it is.
tonysmommy - Thursday, 19 June
I can only imagine how you are feeling!! I have one and it is so hard...I hope that things start to evolve into a better schedule for you all and soon enough you will have that time. They will sleep through the night, you and your husband will find the time for each other! It is a process as I am learning, just keep talking to everyone and hopefully that will help you feel better until the situation gets better!!! Hang in there, you are obviously a trooper!!
simplyme - Thursday, 19 June
hey tina..i know how you feel and i have only got one baby although she comes with me to work which makes work impossible the best thing i can advise is that you put babies to bed before the big kids and then do something special with them.. I know the feeling of me doing everything it sucks and usually my SO gets the brunt of me being fustrated. You are doing a super job...its okay if you leave the house work till the weekend .... to me my baby is more important. So enjoy them and spend time with your older kids after the babies go to sleep..hope that helps.
tonysmommy - Thursday, 19 June
In response to your comment about feeling overwhelmed...can your husband and you take turns caring for the twins? What about taking a day every week and spending one on one with one of the older kids?? I would bet if you talked with your husband, you two would come up with a way to give you a break and spend more time with each kid solo. Best of luck!!!:
Crazyeights - Thursday, 19 June
I want to talk to you about your post but I've got a lot going on here. Please just take a deep breath and know your doing a great job. The older kids just kind of naturally take a backseat when the younger ones come along. If I don't get to you tonight, I promise I will tomorrow. I've been where you are, a lot!! Hang in there, K?
julz - Wednesday, 18 June
Thanks for your kind words. I definately don't mind you asking questions about sids, I have been researching it and have lots of info but still no answer as to why it happens. So ask as many questions as you want. Sids is the major cause of death for babies ages 1 month to 1 year old, the majority of deaths occur between 2 and 4 months.
heatherography - Friday, 13 June
aw hah. your twins are adorable, by the way!
Debra - Thursday, 12 June
a sound machine is something that has pre-recorded music or sound on it. Ours is just something that came with our graco pack n' play. You can get 'dream machines' or a cd even that also plays music or white noise of some kind. I have found (and my friends agree) that babies seem to like sounds that have underlay heartbeat noise to them. Right now, we use the sound of crickets in a field to help him to fall asleep and you can also hear a heart beat undertone to the sound.
