Good morning Ladies:

Justine: You are next in line to deliver. I bet you can't wait until you hold your little baby.

Vita: It is so good to hear from you. You are doing the best thing for your little babies by staying in the hospital. Your babies will be 4 lbs very soon. They may stay put until 34 weeks. They gain 1/2 lb per week at the end, so that would give them each 1 add'l lb. I know what you mean about being in love with them. I love my little Andrew too. If you get a chance, check out photobucket. I placed a photo of his face. It is amazing the detail that you can see. You can see his forehead, nose, lips and eyelid. My ankles used to be slender, but not now.

Kareen: Nice to hear from you. I think Andrew will be large also. Your babies are at a very nice weight. I know what you mean about prodding feelings. Andrew is turning and I feel either a hand or foot. It is such a reassuring feeling when he is active. I know the little guy is healthy.

Jo: I hope little Ellie is doing well and has been transferred to Harlow.

Zoe: I hope you are doing well with little Ollie.

Hello to Hayley, Heather and Riley Dee.

Happy New Years to all.
Tammy

hey girls,


Justine, your little one reallllly loves your insides ... i hope things go naturally for you as you would like them too, but if fluids are really low then you gotta do what you gotta do... but im sure either way things are gonna be great~
you are really stretching things out, if you hold on a week or so we might be delivering together

Tammy Andrews profile is really amazing, how awesome, i know how proud you must be... how are you holdng up? Did you start teaching yet?

Kareen, wow love the weights on the babies, we are soooooooooooo close now i can see the light at the end of the tunnel so to say. But we must keep on pushing on as long as possible for these little lambs

Jo, Ellie looks precious, i hope you both are recovering well. i look at her picture a few times a day knowing my babies will have the same type of tubes and everything else being born as early as they are going to be.
I wish for her health and happiness...

Hayle are you still pregnant???? hope you are doing welll...

Zoe hows the little one doing? lets see a picture of the lovely..


as for me ladies, i have been doing ok i guesss, bedrest is no fun and things are getting more difficult by the day, my feet and hands are sooo swollen i have lost feeling in them. but the worse part is my calf pain which i guess is due to vitamin deficiency, these babies are sucking up everything i have got.. We had another growth scan yesterday and got new measurments on them.. Baby A 4 lbs 9 oz baby B 4 lb 11 oz and baby C 4 lbs 7 oz... although the technician told me the weights might be a bit exagerated i am still happy that they are over 4 lbs,, THANK GOD
i have gained a total of 58lbs so far and if i can go a few weeks more im sure i will hit 70 lbs for sure... i dont care to be honest as long as the babies continue to grow... sleeping has become almost impossible, contractions are only controlled with meds but thank God they are still not pushing out... 2 more weeks and i am content... Miss you all very much..

Good morning Ladies:

Vita & Justine: Thanks for commenting on Andrew's profile shot on photobucket. I can't stop looking at this photo!! I am in love!

Vita: It is so good to hear that your babies are all over the 4lb mark. I hope the two weeks will go by fast for you. The babies should all be over 5 lbs by then! Good for you. Take care. I begin teaching my two online courses this coming Monday. I'm trying to get my classes all set up over the internet. One is ready and the other is not .

Justine: We should be hearing something from you by early next week. I can't wait to see the photos of your newest addition!

Jo: I hope everything is going well with little Ellie and yourself. Please give us an update, when you get the chance.

Zoe: I'm sure that you are very busy with little Ollie now.

Kareen: How are things with you? Do you have any idea when your little ones will come? Will you have a C-section with the twins?

Hello to everyone else.

Hi Girls,

Just touching base!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Justine - I'm soooooooooooooooooooooooooo excited for you. This is it - a long time coming and yet it's gone past so quick. I'm thinking about you and wishing you a quick and as painless a labour as is possible Fluids can replenish, but they'll take no chances...

Tammy - How are you??? You make sure you are taking it easy - how does the classes over the internet work?? Hope that means you will be doing less?!...

Jo - my friend - I'll post on the other thread too, but it sounds like your wee Ellie is fighting away still - obviously has the determination of her mum and dad. I hope she was able to be moved ok - does that mean a lot less travelling for you?? Make sure you are taking things as easy as you can..

Kareen - How's things in your neck of the woods??? Are you keeping well and feeling any better???

Vita - Sorry about all the swelling my friend - not long to go now and all the rotten things you have and are feeling will be gone - replaced by complete exhaustion, sleepness nights, crying.... and loads of cuddles The weights sound fantastic - well done, you're doing a fab job for those babes - are you huge?????? I can't imagine carrying them.......

We're fine - completely knackered but fine. Don't know how to work the photobucket and not entirely happy about posting baby pictures on the net... I'll send anyone a piccy if they want - Just pm me your email!! Ollie's feeding is still erratic, but we're off the top ups and he now weighs 6lb 9oz - so we're going the right way - he just won't sleep after a feed

To everyone else - if I've missed you - sorry - hope things are great!

Zoe x

Hi everyone, sorry ive been away for a while. Yes im still pregnant Vita lol.
Well ive come to say my goodbyes and goodlucks to you all. dont worry i'll be back soon. Im being admitted on wednesday for safety sake. My placenta is still covering the way out, so ive got my bag packed and im not coming out till ive got my babies in my arms They will keep me in now till they are born and im due to have a c section at 37 weeks. i dont think i'll make it that far though.
Ive already had 2 false alarms this weeks with strong pains, definatly having contractions but then they just stop, but the end is near i know.
Soon as they arrive dh will post.
Well i had a scan last week and they are 4 pound 5 and 4 pound 10, im happy with their weights i didnt think they would be born as big as that. Oh deffinatly decided on names too.Madison and Madeline.
Well its getting exiting now for us all, and i wish you all THE BEST!
I cant believe we are all weeks from meeting our babies.
Karren and vita we have known eachother since the general forum, its been a long journey and double trouble and triple trouble is nearly here .
I wish you all the best of luck and happiness, i'll see you all soon. and we will all be mummies.

Justine:

Congrats on little Nicholas!!! How is the water birth? I don't think that option is open to me here in the states. We just had our childbirth preparation class today. Did you use any pain meds or epidural? I'm still very conflicted about what to do . I can't wait to see the little guy on photobucket.

Hayley:

Glad to hear that you and the twins are doing well. I love the names that you have picked out for them. Hope that you have a short and easy delivery. Please post photos of your baby girls.

Zoe: Yes, classes over the internet mean that I can do everything from my computer at home. It takes a lot of time to set up the course on the internet, but after you get it set up, it is just answering emails, grading, etc. There are no face-to-face lectures, so I will not have to drive to and from school. I have one class ready to go, but am still working on the other one. I would love to see a picture of little Ollie. My email address is: twampler-heinzen@insightbb.com.

Hello to Jo, Heather, Kareen, Vita.

Take care all,
Tammy

Justine:

Nicholas is adorable! I hope you are feeling better and getting into a nice routine with Nicholas. I am thinking about packing my hospital bag. I just think my little guy will be early. I go to the doctor on Thursday, so we will see if he is still 2 weeks ahead. If so, he should be around 5.3 lbs.

Hello to everyone else.

Regards,
Tammy

hello ladies,

just wanted to make a quick post as sitting down is almost impossible.

I wanted to wish all of you ladies goodluck in the coming weeks and all of us will be mommies sooon....

hayley, kareen, tammy, wishing you ladies a smooth delivery and labor, hope all of your babies are healthy and wonderful you ladies deserve it so much.

Justine and Zoe, congrats on your loves!

JO, my dear im always thinking of you and little Ellie,,, wish her the best in life but right now i wish for her good health and for you my dear patience and strength.


As for me it seems i am not far away from having my little lambs out, my dr thinks max one more week as even walking has become unbearable. i have put on 10lbs of water in 4 days and believe me all of it went to my feet... its impossible to walk, literally im in tears by the time i move my legs around... Sleep is something i probably will see only when i deliver and relieve my body of all this weight and pressure...the babies seem to be doing well, i have daily non stress tests done and things are going well for them, at this point my doctor is worried more about me then them. which is great to know but ofcourse my deepest worries are with them arriving so early... i hope we can make it to next week which will mark out 34 week... its a huge milestone for me... I actually told the DR i was done and couldnt handle the pain anymore and he looked at me and said believe me you can, tomorrow is a new day and things will be better. so as i write this to you ladies i feel he is right, and maybe i am being a bit selfish and complaining too much of the pain, but i do have almost 12 pounds of baby sitting on my pelvis, sore legs and swollen feet, to the point where circulation has stopped and a special machine has been attached to them to prevent blood clotting. well i think i should be thankful and i am i thank my Lord Jesus everyday, for every precious moment while my babies are still inside of me... thank you ladies for reading this far, i think this was my very needed vent that i felt guilty to share with anyone else... miss you ladies much...
