JANUARY 2008 BABIES

[My2LnT]

Oh Tanya your little ones are so very cute in those pics. I can't wait until we get ours done.. granted that is IF his little stubborn behind lets us take a look. I love the foot in the face that is so funny and so very cute!!!

[Christine B]

Malinka - So glad you passed the Glucose Challenge! And the heartburn must be miserable! Mine is starting to act up now too. I hope you are doing well otherwise.

Tanya - What wonderful scan picts! Where we go for OB care they don't offer the 3D scan. I think we would have to seek it out on our own while paying out of pocket. Hope you are feeling great!

Rikirees- So glad baby Sarah is doing well! Hopefully she will gain enough weight to go home with you very soon!! Keep us posted!

wannabeone - So nice to hear from you! Hope you are progressing well!

noodle - So glad baby Sydney is doing so well! Hope the dentist appt went good!

Steph - Great weight increase for your little man! I hope your cervix doesn't become an issue. Your 28 week appt is right around the corner! Best of luck.

Mattie - Didn't see a post from you but hope you are doing well. Please give us an update soon.

Jovigal - How are you? Hope you are doing great.

As for me - just hanging in there. My next checkup is Nov 13th. Our baby girl is very active day and night. Our almost 2yr old DD pats my tummy now and says "Baby" - it's so cute! I think our baby girl is so active at night lately partly because I've been staying up later at night watching our wonderful Boston Red Sox Baseball team. I'm so excited they are going to be in the World Series.

Ok - enough sappy - enough gab - I hope you are all doing as well as can be expected at this stage. Looking forward to more updates! Take Care Ladies.

Thanks for the comments guys! I am still so excited about it. It was just an amazing experience! It really was. I have been up most of the night looking at them and dreaming about holding them and kissing them! I am so excited to hold them and what it will feel like. I can't wait!!! I know that you all share the same thoughts.....our babies are coming!!!

[rikirees]

Ladies:
My DH made a blog to document Sarah's progress. She is doing well and nearly 1lb. The NICU staff loves her and we love them for all that they do for our little miracle.
Please feel free to check it out when you get a chance.

Rikirees - she is absolutely precious!!!!!!!

[TansRN]

Rikirees
She is so beautiful! Thank you for sharing the page with us. I love seeing the photos of her! She is so wonderful and amazing.

Josh...all the pictures are so nice...what beautiful babies!

Rikirees- nice blog, now I now how to keep updated! My DH will be excited to finally see what I'm always talking about.

TansRN- WOW- did they say how the twins are laying, back to back, head to toe or do they change?? My little Sydney is flipping all the time, I cannot imagine how it would feel to have two moving in there.

Malinka- congrats on passing the 3 hour test....surgar, sugar here you come!

Christine B- good luck to your SOX, it's nice to watch the series when you have a vested interest, my poor Mariners have yet to give me a reason to watch BBall in October

Steph- when are you going for the 3D pics...mybe too personal but how much does it cost? DH won't let me do it anyway but........

Wannabeone- isn't it funny how the belly just grows while the rest of you kind of stays the same. I look like I'm making beer, I have a keg attached to my mid section, and so far so good no stretch marks.

Jovigal- hows it going? Bon Jovi is opening our new Hockey Stadium on Saturday, we are debating the treck, our new stadium is in Newark which isn't the easiest or safest place to go to. But it really depends on how mom and baby are feeling that day.


Hope I didn't miss anyone...I had some weird pressure/pains in my groining area over the weekend...almost like I had pulled every muscle possible in my private area...very strange, so needless to say I did not do any of the work I was planning to do...no spackling, this weekend will have to go better or Sydney will not have a room to come home to. I finally will be receiving the furniture on Friday...took the day off, also having a 42' flat screen TV delivered. DH got a deal he just "couldn't pass up" I get nervous when his sentence starts with "I know this guy" I have a feeling the TV is going to show up in the back of some guys car. Oh well, pregnant woman goes to jail for receiving stolen merchandise! FYI tomorrow's headline!

[My2LnT]

Rikirees - She is so precious. I also had to show Dh and we were both amazed at what a little fighter she is.

Tanya - I wish I could do a ticker to count down the set day... hee hee.

Noodle - For us our OB has the machine and charges 200.00 but there are other places that do it a little cheaper but I would rather do it with my regular lady that I love to do my sonos we are having it done 11-13.

[TansRN]

Steph
It is coming girl it is coming! I promise you. Although now it feels like every day is a challenge. I totally understand the challenge part. It is hard work being preggo. Lovely work but hard.

Noodle
I may have missed something but who is Josh? I have lots o pregnancy hormones and I am blonde!! Sorry. The babies move all the time. Every time I see them on the u/s they are different. I guess that will slow down as they get bigger. I can for sure tell when they are both head up! I have this huge lump just under my sternum and I cant breathe for anything. That was funny about the TV-your DH is always getting a deal he cant pass up-a five finger "hot" discount! LOL

[wannabeone]

Are any of you going to Halloween parties? This is not me, but I'm trying to recreate this picture. How scary:

Wannabe
I am not going to any Halloween parties but I do have a big orange pumpkin shirt with just a jack o lantern face in black on it I may wear for fun! That is a great Halloween costume! I love it and If I could pull it off I may try it! How funny-my friends and family would love that! Is that what you are going to dress up as this year?

My back is killing me again today. I will be happy when it doesnt do that! I really will. It is a chore turning over in bed these days! LOL My feet are swelled up and my hands look like little sausages.....Thats attractive! How are you guys holding up with the swelling?

[My2LnT]

Tanya that is so funny I looked at DH last night and told him to look at my toes.... They looked like sasuages. My hands swell when I'm walking for a bit nothing too bad yet I have not had to take off my rings just yet.

[Malinka]

hi girls, how are you all doing?

Rikirees, thanks for the blog, you have a very precious lil fighter, I hope she is going to get stronger and stronger with every day!

noodle, sorry about your pain, you probably over did it a lil bit, I am glad you took it easy and got some rest. Drink lots of water next time you get it ( I hope not) + lay on a left side.

Tanya I am not wearing my rings, because of the swelling. During the day, I am trying to take some rest during the day and keep my feet alivated , it helps

[noodle]

TansRn- I meant to say GOSH...sorry, the baby took my brain....that's my story and I'm sticking to it...trying to catch up on the personals..hopefully I'll be back later today to report...LOL

[Christine B]

Hi Ladies,

I hope you are all doing well. The swelling is no fun. With my first PG I wore slippers at work for the last two months. My feet swelled but not my fingers thankfully. No swelling this time yet. We are taking our DD out for Halloween just to see family, friends and neighbors. She will be dressed like a butterfly. No candy collecting though.

We are so thrilled about our Red Sox team winning the World Series. Finally ending the many late nights and sleep deprivation.

I can't believe how far we have all come. In just a matter of a couple of months we will all have our little angels in our arms.

Take Care Ladies!

Christine
