Happy Mother's Day to you ladies! Have a beautiful day!
Happy Mother's day everyone!
I have yet to receive acknowledgement of it from my husband, not even a card, and I've been cleaning up the house by myself so our mothers can come over for dinner tonight. The kids are whining and driving me nuts. DH is watching youtube videos. I think it should be perfectly acceptable for me to whack him upside the head with something. LOL
Totally acceptable BG! Omg, men are so thick sometimes! Mind you, I can't complain. Dh got up early on a late shift day, which is usually saved for his sleep ins and made me a cooked breakfast in bed at 9, so I had a nice sleep in. He kept the kids at the table and let me eat in bed alone before the little darlings gave me all their hand made gifts. Was lovely. He left for work after that, so that was less fun, but it was a nice family morning for me.

Whack away, BG! Good grief!
I told my dh that no way was mom-in-law coming over today. lol! I love her, but it's always a big production cleaning before, catering to her while she's here, and cleaning up her mess afterward. Plus, she's so much easier to deal with if I can have a glass (or three) of wine, which I'm not touching for a few more months. lol! I demanded my day today. :)
Happy Mother's Day to all of you lovely moms!
Oh, me too! My first was a champion nurser and super easy. Went until I cut him off at around 14 months. Second was pretty good, too, though he became a biter as soon as his teeth were in, so he was cut off a 6 months. My 3rd... horrible! He would cry whenever I tried to feed him, and then would I cry, and every feeding session ended in tears for us both. I never could figure out what was wrong—something about the whole process just wasn't working for him. We tried everything and had all kinds of consultants try to help, but it just got worse. The more we tried, the more he cried. Finally, we just switched to a bottle and formula, and he was fine. I felt terrible—he was only 2 months then and I felt like a failure for not going the "recommended" 12 months. But I gained SO much empathy for women who just can't breastfeed their kids for one reason or another.Quote:

The only thing DH has done today is put the ham in the oven and now he's outside washing his Denali and adjusting the sprinklers. He'd better have a damn good present for me tonight if he's going to be this much of a butt today.
Hugs. DH isn't much for making days special either. I am at home cleaning today. Just another day around here.

Well, I got two cards from my oldest two from their preschool in my stack of mail. Still nothing from DH. I should make him sleep outside......and then turn the sprinklers on him for my own amusement. Most annoying is that a few days ago he asked me what I wanted. I guess because I didn't tell him something specific down to store, aisle, price, etc., he couldn't think of anything on his own and didn't bother. Well, Father's Day is coming up and that can go both ways. :)
This is making me so incredibly nervous for my sway :(Quote:

I know panther... But you should be fine. Feel free to message me for some tips I've picked up from all of this. Atomic said 0% if you never try so a lot of us gave it a shot but wasn't meant to be. Best of luck if I don't here from you!Quote:

Blue Bear I swayed 4 moths for a boy. I believe everyone gets what GOD has planned. The only thing I would suggest to you is wait as long as you can to try for the boy. I may be wrong but I think Attomic says you have a better chance after not long having a child than getting pregnant not long after. Ask Attomic about that. My lil girl is 20 months now I'm 16 weeks pregnant and it's another girl. Not to scare you but I pray you will get the gender you desire. If not your lil girl will love having a sister.Quote:

I'm not sure what you were saying... Did you mean to say to start sooner or wait longer after your last?Quote:

I'm not religious, so leaving it up to a higher power isn't my bag. But thank you guys -- I've definitely talked with atomic and others about spacing.
I guess we'll see how things go once I'm fertile again. Hoping my early HE start during pregnancy has helped :/

Blue Bear oh ok! Yes if I did it all again I would wait lil longer. You would think though 19 months would be ok after my last.Quote:

My oldest has NO known issues orally. My youngest never had any official diagnosed issues and he was checked over due to speech delay (turned out to be a brain cyst) but did have a rather deep pallet... like REALLY deep. But by the time we discovered that he hadn't been nursing for some time.Quote:

AND I'm just days away from surprising my Grandma!!! I'm so nervous about this ultrasound today... as of last night she still had a heartbeat and going to check again before I leave for my appt. Just praying that they say everything is perfect with her. Also praying they will confirm gender and check my cervix and say it's still long and thick as my OB said if they do and it is then we can FINALLY get off pelvic rest! SOOOO hard to behave yourself when you have the libido of a teenage boy lol. It'd be nice if we could be intimate without the fear and guilt afterward. I guess I have a lot riding on this ultrasound... praying everything goes well!
Interesting because I think if we try again I would wait until my 2nd dd is a year or so. She ended up being 2 1/2 this time because I was stuck on shettles and had two miscarriages. I was on the he diet way too long and was 20 pounds over my ideal weight. Plus my dh would be 42 when dd2 is 1. Who knows... Will have to do some thinking and praying bc I would want to be happy having a 3rd dd if we try after. I had gd for a month this time and really don't want to go through that again. I can see why team green is appealing now.Quote:

Cervix is perfect so no more pelvic rest! Yay! Couldn't get all angles of the spine so I have to go back in 4 weeks to try again, but everything we saw looked perfect. Gender confirmed and she spent nearly the entire ultrasound sucking on the fingers of both hands! It was precious!!http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...a4df592ff7.jpghttp://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...8a3d7a4cf5.jpg

I think my twins are going to end up tiny. Dalton was measured at 43rd percentile for size and Ophelia was 27th percentile (he measures 8 days bigger than her). He is 1 lb 6 oz and she is 1 lb 1 oz. Growth starts slowing down once you hit the third trimester so I expect their percentiles to drop further. She is head down now. His placenta previa has moved out of the way, but he's still butt down. He needs to be head down for vaginal delivery to be an option.
Not down playing your concern, but aren't twins typically pretty small compared to singletons? I'm sure those percentages are based off singletons. I hope everything works out with him flipping and the babies gaining weight :)Quote:

I'm not specifically concerned about their size and expect them to be a little smaller. It was more just an observation since my others measured around the 75th percentile. Twins typically measure the same as singletons up to the third trimester and then drop off in weight gain for pretty much all twins and also in height for about half of twins. Their measurements did remind me I still need to get some preemie clothes. Everywhere seems to be out and I'm mostly looking for cotton footies and one-pieces. I'm sure they'll start having some again though. The stores near me are clearancing out stuff and just now starting to add in new stuff this week. I haven't really looked online yet. I'm considering making a few snap shirts for the NICU though. I did that for DS3 when he was born at 30 weeks. It made me feel better about him being so tiny and stuck in the hospital for so long.Quote:

And I hope that you find some tiny baby clothes that you like when the stores restock, although making your own sounds like fun too. Remember as well how unreliable u/s is. It can be out by 20% either way and is notoriously unreliable for estimating a babies weight. They might be a bit bigger than they are letting on at this stage.

Multiple ultrasounds is one of the few perks of being high risk. I can't wait to see some pics from your scan!!! Please share!!Quote:

I found some preemie cotton sleepers online last night and ordered them for the twins. Now when they get here I need to embroider name tags to sew in for their NICU stay. I'm finally starting to feel more prepared.
Fingers crossed that it is a mere formality and they are big healthy and strong for you.

I got my Upsie Belly belly today and my bump feels so much lighter. I wish I would have gotten one a few weeks ago.
