Stephjim- I just noticed for the first time you have names! Ryan and Emily......too cute! We are having a hard time with names. Anything I like, my husband scrunches up his nose and says "I don't know." It's really tough.

HAS ANYONE ELSE THOUGHT OF NAMES????? WE ARE HAVING A HARD TIME!

We are having a hard time with names - so far our pics are - Samuel, Maya and Noah,and a few more....

I like those alot. I really like Samuel, that's a great pick! My sister's son is named Noah.

We are thinking about Dillon for a boy, but nothing really excites me yet. I do really like Samuel though!!!

Hi carisa - Names are the hardest. But I think we have finally picked the ones we are sticking with (for now hahah). We have Joshua James JJ for short and Landon Arnold after my grandpa. Oh and James is Dh's middle name.

I am not sure yet if these will stick. I keep changing my mind but keeping coming back to these so well see in the end. For all I know they will be born and Ill go you know what they look more like a michael and go with that.

SO Hard to decide.

Hey ladies. I started a thread about baby names and there are some good ones there if you want to check them out.
As for us we already have them picked out for any combo we might have. Here they are:

Boy/girl:
Santino Joseph and Sophia Jennifer
(Jennifer is my husbands sister and we thought this would be cute because we already have a Sarah Jade)

Boy/Boy:
Santino Joseph and Tomasso Gabriel
(Tomasso is my husbands father, my husband is Thomas. We would call the baby Tommy after my husband but have him actually be named after my father-in-law. Is that 2 birds with 1 stone or what?)

Girl/Girl:
Sophia Jennifer and Gina Helen
(Helen is for my mom whose an angel watching over us all)

We had our level II u/s today and everything looked great!! They took me off of bed rest and said I could go back to normal activity! I am so excited! Also we found out that we are having a boy and a girl instead of 2 boys! We are so happy and to tell you the truth I didn't care I just want healthy babies. Now I am going to have to shift my thinking to a girl instead of boys!

Crogers-That's so great! I bet you are excited to be having one of each. I know my husband and I felt the same way, we just wanted HEALTHY, but after all of our troubles to have a baby, finally we are getting both in one pregnancy. Congratulations on being off of bedrest!!!

Genessa- I know what you mean, you think you like a name, and then you change your mind. Who knows what they will actually be named once they are in our arms. It's pretty funny! My husband and I change weekly.

We had two USs this week! Yesterday and today. 1 with the Peri yesterday and 1 with our RE today. Both USs were wonderful. Yesterday was really nice because we got to hear all 3 heartbeats instead of just seeing them. Today was great because all 3 were moving around, very active, and we got great pictures.

Sweetmomi: WOW!!! How exciting for you!! It's so cool to see them moving isn't? My little baby B is gonna be a trapeez artist when he/she grows up because he's all over the place when ever we see him/her. Congradulations again!

Sweetmomi-That must be so surreal to see all 3 heartbeats!! How wonderful for you!!

Silverangel679-I think we may have a little gymnast on our hands as well. The boy is always moving everywhere in the ultrasounds! It's so cute too see, we love it!

Stephjim or ANYONE ELSE FARTHER ALONG-My gc is saying that her cervix feels like there is a lot of pressure on it. Is this normal? It really makes me worry, of course. She said it's no big deal and that she has been feeling this way for awhile. Just four days ago her cervix was 5.5cm. Should I be concerned or is this normal??

Hi all,
Sorry this will be a bit longer message...I'm catching up with the thread.
First answering a question on why we did the IVF in Brazil: it is much cheaper, success rates as similar to that of first world clinics and they took our case not being afraid of "spoiling statistics" due to my age.

Babyloves, I will definively try cotton diapers. Cheaper, not so hard to wash/dry/fold, healthier. Breastfeeding is a great thing, I did it with my other children. There are so many benefits...will add one less known: babies develop better orofacial strength and coordination as they struggle to get milk from us. So I am not planning on pumping until I go back to work. One of the babies will have a bottle (I only have two breasts!) at each feeding time, but he/she will be the first next turn. I hope it works!

Stephanie, congratulations on your progressing pregancies! The "buywise" is a wonderful advice and I will keep it close to my heart and to my credit cards.
As Jennagirl wrote, after IVF you learn to appreciate the true values of things, money, people. I never thought about that this way but it is SO true!
SilverAngel697, thanks for setting us up on a calendar! It will be great to know when each one of us (plus Carisa's GC) will reach 24 weeks (the life-line) and so on!
Crogers, congratulations on the Boy/Girl combo! Isn't that good to be back on your feet? I'd love for us to share what to do when bedrest time comes.
Gina1234, Sweetmommy...our threat has reached the triple triplets

Stephjim and Genessa, how big do we get? I laughed thinking about the duos and trios poking our bladders, our lungs, guts and cervixes! What a playground! The National Geographic Society has a nice movie, "multiples". You see them playing intra-uterus. They are having fun!
Well, names...we only have names for boys: Elija, Noah, David and Benjamin. I will be paying attention on the girls names suggestions!
Hope everyone is doing well!!!!
Best wishes, Literatriz

We just picked our names yesterday for sure. They are Emma Lynn and Evan James. Lynn is my middle name and my moms and James is my father-n-laws middle name. We had a hard time picking names and I am glad that is done.

Glad to hear everyone is doing so well. I really hope it continues throughout our pregnancies.

Hey -
I graduate to a regular OB now! I will see her on Monday. Very exciting.

Just trying to take it easy. funny. I have a lot of pregnant friends trying not to gain weight and exercising, and I'm just sittin' here (twins are a secret) thinking, I just want to get these babies safely here. I'm not hitting the gym until my doctor tells me to.

I'm only 8 weeks (tomorrow) so it's a little early for names, but we do have a girl's name and a few thoughts for boys. I think we'll wait until we know what we're having to make anything official.

I like the names out there though.
