Claudia - Don't feel guilty at all! We all knew that was her intention from the beginning and tolerated it, the reason I had to say something was not what you said, it was her responce being giving up ALL the babies if this one was a boy and doing it again with yet another cycle to get that girl unrelated to these embies. That was the straw that broke the camel's back. So.. no guilt!! Though I feel some since I opened the flood gates, but it is also a sense of relief finding out how everyone else feels. On to a happy subject... you and Flick! So happy you are feeling him more. Sorry, I say him... I guess that is my guess that it is a boy. lol When do you find out gender, do you even plan to? I bet you would look so cute in a bathing suit with your baby bump. Don't worry about your toosh, I am sure it looks great.

Mine on the other hand has grown what I call a second ass. lol Looks pretty gross and no way I would put it in a bathing suit this summer.

I will wait till after the babies are born.

Andrew has his next appt next week I think. He is doing well, he has his moments at times where I have to look at him and tell him to calm down. He gets frustrated so fast with things. He just needs time off to relax but alas, he still hasn't been approved for leave. Damn Army... hurry up and wait!
Nanine - I remember you from somewhere, another thread perhaps? I am glad you are doing well and all three babies! Since they are all over 4 pounds things should be pretty smooth from now on right? I hope you come back and tell us as often as you can how you are and those little angels of yours! Have you picked out names or waiting until you meet them? Oh, and thank you for your 2 cents. The hormones might have something to do with how it bothers us so much, but I think it's the moral of the whole issue that makes us unique women more sensitive to it as well. I am sure a year from now, after all of our babies are born and hormones back to normal, we might think of it and if we do, we will still be disturbed by it all. So, you are NOT a raving lunatic!!

Take care of you and those precious babies! Glad you could stop in and introduce yourself to everyone!
Natasha - I hope your able to sleep soon. I am having issues too but because of my hips mostly. Maybe try some tylenol pm or benadryl? I can't wait till Saturday! That is something to look forward to.

As far as the tragedy, that is just heartbreaking. My heart goes out to you and your DH's family for having to deal with such a loss! As far as your RE treating you like a normal pregnancy, no restrictions... a normal pregnancy still has restrictions. If you have to lift double your weight for your job, unfortunately that shouldn't happen. Anything over ten pounds can cause miscarriage. I was doing too much with my first pregnancy and it caused a placental abrubtion and I almost lost my oldest then. Luckily I was full term, I was doing too much because I was nesting, trying to prepare for her arrival. If your job requires you to lift over 10 lbs, I hope there is something else they can have you do while your are pregnant?? Take it easy baby mama! You worked too hard for this.
Hazel - So good to hear from you! I have had your family in my thoughts. I am sorry to hear that it is cancer. Trust me when I say I know what all you are and will go through. My mom passed from ovarian and my ex MIL past from pacriatic. I hope the chemo and vaccine trial will help prolong and give him better quality of life!

I am sure he wants to soak up as much time as he can to get to know your little angel.
As far as twin mommies beating you to labor and delivery... girl I hope I am not one of those. lol I want so badly for mine to thoroughly cook before they come out. lol Baby boy's name is Ethan Andrew actually, he brought up Jay for the middle at first but liked Andrew better. But yes, I do come up with nicknames often. Andrew hasn't let me use anything on him except the usual terms of endearment. lol My dog though, her name is Rizzo but I call her poopy instead of puppy, stinky baby, poo poo face and many others.

Don't worry about your weight by the way, you look great! Although the weight might be piling on, it looks like it's all baby. I might have only gained a pound, but the 30 from cycling has held on very strong and what the babies are sucking from. lol I am hoping that I will be thinner after giving birth. I feel like a blimp, but a happy blimp!
Katie - I am feeling fine. Still not quite liking how Angelina won't move much on the left side. Sometimes I catch movement at the bottom left or in the middle, but Ethan is always moving all over the right side of me. So I wish I could feel her just as active, but I am sure I will in a week or two when they are even bigger and she can't huddle over to one side with her brother anymore. I am ok with Andrew calling her by her first name even if I don't. He might catch on to it too, who knows. I might end up calling her by her first name too, along with a few other nicknames. lol As they grow older and start to show their personalities, I am sure I will have a few for each of them. I hope you and Chris can figure out a name before she is born. lol Is he coming around to any of them yet? It's so awesome she is moving all over the place in there. Pretty soon she will be beating you up. Has Chris been able to catch any movement? It seems everytime there is strong enough movement, Andrew isn't around or just misses it. Then again, I almost think that his hand calms them or something because I will feel it on my hand and he puts his there and nothing at all! It's like come on children!

Oh well, soon enough, soon enough. I am so impatient aren't I? lol
