2to3- your feelings are very normal. I knew this baby would be our last and with no girls in either of our families, just a few, I thought for sure another boy. You just need to give yourself time and realize these emotions. Hugs to you!
AM- I feel like my little one is quite at times too. She has her regular movement times, very active in the morning and little bit throughout the day. But overall seems mellow.
Mel- sorry about the stomach flu, that's awful when being pregnant too!
I'm doing good, time is going by. Still working on nursery and names. I think I have a name but going back and forth. Working on the a crib canopy so that's been keeping me busy. I can't help but wonder if I will go early or late with my last!! I keep thinking late!

I'm praying we are all over it! 3 out of 5 of us got it, so hopefully DH and DS1 stay in the clear!

We've decided on Maci Rae-Germaine Rae for my grandpa (Raymond) and Germaine for my grandma! (She has 30+ grandkids and this will be her 11th great grandchild and not one of them is named after her! I can't wait to tell her!!) what are the names you have picked?! (I always thought naming twins would be so fun!)

Yuck the stomach flu while pregnant is the worst! Hope everyone is feeling better now. Glad all is well with little lady!

We have names for our twins finally have any of you decided on names yet?

[momof3boyz11]

We didn't go with matching names because the names I liked I had picked out before we found out they were twins so we actually got to use both! They are Griffyn Merrick and Braya Cheyanne!
The B C is after my grand parents and so is the G M their first names and last (maid an and married)

I know I hear all the time oh Braya that's nice but you should name him Brady or Brayden to match.....no I'm good

Is there a chance you have an anterior placenta? I do with baby girl and she was so quiet until yesterday now I feel her more. I constantly feel baby boy because his is not anterior.

I am heavy and HUGE but love every second of it

Last ultrasound he said my placenta was at the back, so posterior, maybe I should feel her more? It's not that I don't feel her, she's just so subtle, she's more flutters and stirs than kicks. Maybe I just got used to the boys kicking the hell out of me a lot and I'm feeling strange that she is a bit quieter, every single scan I only had good news but I would be more at ease if I could feel here more. Mind you, the other night when Aidan kept me awake all night, like slow torture, every hour or so and I got quite upset and ended up getting loud with him and then went to bed sobbing because I felt like crap (after days of bad sleeping, I guess you get that), it's like she sensed it and she kicked a lot, like nonstop as if the poor thing was suffering with me. That's the most I felt her move, and if being a bit quieter means she is relaxed (because I am) then maybe that's best? I just worry, that's all, silly old mum I'm sure everything will be alright next tuesday when I see her again.

Lovely names girls! I love them! We are warming up more and more to Anya, even Aidan calls my bump Anya now. I guess we're going to end up commiting to it, but there's still time to change. My sister and mum love it, I love it too, it's just that there aren't many out there and I'm afraid to be biased and give her a name she will hate when she grows up.

Hi Mariposa: Congrats on your girl

From2to3 - I'm sure it goes without saying - we're all here cause we have or have had the same feelings, fears, and GD... nothing you say will surprise us! understanding these similar feelings make us feel normal and not the inhuman beasts that we're made to feel by our nearest and dearest :/
As the second it doesn't get easier with the third time (should they say boy that is) I really hope that you hear girl, but in the instance that you should hear boy, please try to not be me, cause I still regret it till this day that when they told me boy I jumped off the bed into the bathroom screamed, cried and wished for this thing to disappear from my womb. My sweet baby boy, I look at this 20 month old blonde haired boy and my heart aches for the feelings I had towards him.
Another thing I would have them write it in a piece of paper and open it by yourself - as this time I watched the screen and concentrated on the baby - then drove to the beach and opened the envelope. Either way there will be tears and a sonographer will not understand. Hugs

Hi all...haven't been on in a while... one kid has tonsillitis, one has hand foot and mouth disease, school holidays are starting so that should be fun not to have any time to myself ... But things are all good there's hardly time to even think about being pregnant with a business and a 5,3 & 1 year old! - I have to remind myself how far along I am on pregnology site or I would forget lol... Baby kicking heaps now and I've taken the next step the tags off clothes...
My DH refers to the bump as she and her, and it gives me tingles every time. I want time to hurry up and slow down at the same time.

Lovely names girls! Who knew this part would be the hardest.
Our first pick is Makayla Ann, then Madyson Ann and now added Alexis Ann. I'm thinking she is a Makayla then we have a choice to nickname her we want later with Kayla.

It took me a long time to take tags off! Wait until you wash everything and have pink dryer lint....I've never had a girl in my life so yes I'm excited about pink dryer lint,lol...

She could very well be facing backwards and kicking toward your back I know I love seeing them on ultrasound every time we go. It's exciting no matter how many times you see them
