Etsy shops are so dangerous for me; I could probably go bankrupt spending on the cute things I've seen at that site. I bought a custom cowboy blanket for DS3 before he was born. I'd better start shopping for a blanket for DS4. Maybe robots and spaceships?
Glad everyone is doing well! I actually feel like the pregnancy is flying by! I think it may be just b/c I am so nervous about having two at a time on top of my other two.
Definitely feeling the beached whale thing. I have gained 40 lbs which is more than I gained the entire pregnancies with my other two! I was underweight and this is twins, but STILL! I guess I will hit the 60 lb mark that they told me to gain!
Ladybug, Congrats on the sweet babygirl!
Whoohoo someone gained more than me... But if yah you have 2;) I'm only 18 weeks barely and have gained over 20lbs!!! I'm a 'eat or be sick' pregnant person, sucks cause I hoped this last one I could pull off cute little pregnant lady... Nope!!
I haven't gained any weight yet, I've actually lost 5 lbs. Never done that before during a pregnancy. lol.
I keep getting the urge to shop but have to hold off.
I have gained a rediculous 38 pounds since my bfp!! However I only weighed 110 at my bfp and my normal weight is about 128. I am now 148 so I am kinda only counting 20 lb. it was really fast at first but now is a pound a week which I think is normal after 20 weeks. Of course that means I still have 13 or 14 pounds to go!!
I have already gained 30lbs, that is what I gained total with my girls!!, ugh I guess that means I will probably gained at the very least 40 to 50 total
I like you're thinking needsgirl! So really I have only gained about 2 lbs!! So how come I look so chubby?!?;)
Look at that big belly!!
Attachment 4295
your belly looks great NeedAGirl
Beautiful belly pic!
Love that picture!
I have gained a whopping 45lbs! It is insane, more than I gained total my other pregnancies too. I went from 93 to 135! I actually had to make an emergency trip to the mall yesterday because my fall maternity clothes didn't fit and we are going to Colorado today . That trip cost $500!!! I better lose this weight!
LOL. Fun trip amari!!!
Well, I suppose we can all go back on the LE diet. Ha!
Hi everybody, I hope you are all doing well.
DS4 has gone from hardly kicking at all to becoming a football player in my belly! I guess he's getting me ready for his entry into the world in December. My anemia is causing me to be soooooo tired. I know my husband is tired of me saying how tired I am. But I am! This morning I got up, brushed my teeth and wanted to take a nap....LOL!
So sorry Yuzu! I know the feeling. I get up, get DD ready for school (boys can get themselves ready), makes lunches and send them out the door then I am down for an hour. I'm sooooo sleepy these days.
So fun that your little guy is so active! I love that.
So I did my dumb 1 hour diabetes test today and it was 139. The absolute cutoff is 140 but a lot of doctors use 130. I am guessing I am going to have to do the 3 hour test... blah... I dont know why I feel so upset about it. Guess it is just scary. With both my boys, my result was low, less than 100.
Boo! So sorry to hear it! :(
I know it sucks....this is my 3rd time with gestational diabetes....Hope you pass your 3 hr
Oh i hate the 3 hr my doctor doesnt believe in the ,other she skips always to the 3 hr1Im not looking forward to it either:(
I have some serious Eye Twitching this pregnancy!Its driving me crazy...Only the one same eye lid....
Does anyone know if this is because of a deficiency ?Or is it just pregnancy,(i dont remember having it everyday like this before)I feel like a nutter!!
I together had the eye issues but I keep getting charlie horse cramps in my legs, feet and even my hands.
My boobs are getting HUGE! I have no idea what's going on!!!
I've never had this happen in a pregnancy before. I was a full C through all of my other pregnancies and when I started this one but I'm falling out of a DD now. Not that I'm complaining. ;) But when the baby is born are they going to disappear? And sag?
This happen to anyone else?
I have KILLER heartburn it is so bad my throat is raw from all the acid that keeps coming up. I have tried prevacid, tums, and gavascon(all dr recommended) and nothing helps, anyone try anything else that has helped them?
Zantac! In the gold box. That's what my Dr told me to take with pregnancy #3. Worked great. I used it for #4 also but haven't needed it this time yet....although I do get heartburn from water even. :( Hope you feel better!
Thanks I will have to try that, I will try anything at this point. I had bad heartburn with DD1 but it didn't start until week 32 or so, so I managed. But this time it is way worse!!! its driving me insane :hair:Quote:

I have also been getting a lot of B-H ctx this week. I had just told my midwife how I seemed to be having so many less contractions this pregnancy and then all of a sudden they are worse, especially in the afternoons! Between 24wks and 34 wks I just feel nervous and want this part to be over. I have never had an early baby (in fact, I had tons of ctx with DS2 and he was 8 days late!). It is just always a fear. Before 24 weeks there isnt anything to be done, after 34 weeks everything will be fine. Hope the next 5 weeks goes fast!
NeedAGirl- I have to do a 2 1/2hr one on the 29th, my dr's office doesn't even do the 1hr one anymore they go right to 2 1/2 I am not looking forward to it at all. I have been having tons of braxton hicks too, they suck, it makes me nervous and I am so moody because of them
Hurray! All 4 of my diabetes test levels were normal!
Awesome news, I still have two weeks before I go for mine, I am not looking forward to it.Quote:

As for me....I failed my 3hr test badly and will be starting insulin tomorrow.....sucks :(
I have never had GD but does it go away after baby is born?Quote:

that stinks, hope everything goes ok for youQuote:

So I am a nesting freak this time! Anyone else? My whole house is getting organized! Ds2 just started kindergarten so I have about 2.5 months of Tuesdays and Fridays with no work and no kids! After 8 years, it feels really weird... And really nice..while it lasts!
I did have more energy then normal this weekend so I got the nursery done!! At least I can check it off of my enormous list of things to do stillQuote:

Good to see everyone is doing ok, though sorry you have to deal with GD ladybug. My friend had that 3 out of 4 pregnancies and it was tough for her. I am kind of borderline with my last blood test so I am trying to be really good this week ahead of the next test.
I'm getting really variable energy levels which is hugely frustrating - I never know if I'm going to just crash in the middle of a job. We've made some pretty good progress with the house, but there is loads more I want to get done and about 3 days out of 5 I can only just manage the basics of the day! My ear keeps popping too - what is that all about?
I had evil sciatica for a couple of weeks - it was worse than any pain I ever experienced. It eased off after a couple of chiropractor appointments and the baby suddenly moving. Now I just have mild and occasional spd and it feels like heaven! I do feel huge though - 3 months to go and already vast!
I know I was talking to someone (sweetsister?) about hypnobirthing. The great Yahoo group is here Yahoo! Groups - I'm just about to start the programme, a bit later than planned but I'm so looking forward to it.
Are you all sorted with names yet?
Welcome back Gentle!!!
Am I the only one getting totally jealous of all the Sept/Oct babies being born?! Can't wait to see my baby!!!
I know I can't wait until December, it seems so far away!!Quote:
