I get more nervous everyday thinking that in 8 short weeks, or less, my wife and I will get to meet our new baby boys. I think the most nerve racking thing for me is the cost of formula and diapers. I've had alot of people tell me to not even try to pay attention to the cost of those things. They ...

My wife has gained 24lbs so far and she's just over 30 weeks. She doesn't look pregnant at all beside her belly.....lol. The rest of her body looks like it did before she was pregnant. She's on bedrest now though so I'm sure she'll gain some more weight from not burning the same amount of calories ...

brenda,

My wife is also having alot of back pain and when we go back to the doctor on Thursday is going to ask them to make her work from home for the rest of the pregnancy. She really needs to lay down more to help with the pain and the swelling in her feet and ankles, but she can't do much about ...

No, she's not on bedrest yet as the doctors don't seem that concerned about the whole issue. I'm scared to death of the NICU, but I know there is a fairly decent chance that they will end up there. She's worked from home everyday since Tuesday and has been doing nothing, but drinking water and ...

Hey everyone,

Well my wife started having some pre-term contractions on Tuesday and needless to say it was a crazy day. Her contractions were fairly strong and 2 to 3 minutes apart and she was dilated to 1, but they said you can be there for months and it's no big deal. Thankfully they got the ...

Congrats on the two healthy twins, one day earlier and they would've shared a birthday with me! Hope all is well............

Another update for everyone:

It's been awhile since I posted anything so I thought I would update everyone on our situation. My wife will be 26 weeks this Saturday and we went back for another anatomy scan yesterday to check both boys again. The cyst in Zac's brain is gone, thank god!!!!! We ...

coco,

That's tough to hear, but hopefully everything goes well for you and you have no further issues. How far along are you again???

Doublepost!

Congrats on the twins babyhope! My wife and I are right there with you, but with two boys.

coco-Thanks for the article, that does make me feel alot better. I'm not going to worry about it too much until we go through the next couple ultrasounds. According to that article it should be gone in three weeks so here's hoping that it is. We go back in two weeks for another ultrasound and then ...

Hey everyone,

Thought I would post a quick update so everyone would know how our situation was going. My wife is 21 1/2 weeks now so we went in for the anatomy scan today. Everything looked good, but they found a small small cyst, less than 1/3 of a millimeter, in the left side of Zachary's brain ...

Hi Annie and Bigrediowan

Thanks for your kind words and support. I am afraid I had further sad news today. I did my third beta and the results have reduced to 126 which is a clear sign of 'miscarriage'. The clinic have told me to wait for a miscarriage. I am devastated.

To be so close and then ...

Katina,

First off let me say I'm sorry for what you've had to go through thus far and I wish everyone could understand what a difficult process this really is! My wife and I went through what you're going through now in September of 2008. Her first number was very low and then her second doubled ...

Wait until I tell my wife you said that, she'll laugh her butt off in agreement. Jackson is a good name Annie and good luck finding a girl name. We would've been able to pick out girl names easier than boys names.
