Winter Cycle Friends 2009/2010 - Everyone Welcome!

[angelaezra]

Babyluv – Thanks … I feel a little better today just exhausted! I am glad that your appointment went well yesterday! So they think that you will make it to your c-section next month … that is amazing. How are you feeling? Do you think that you will make it that far? Sorry to hear about your mom having problems w/ Alex this morning; it could be all of the changes that are occurring w/ the twins on their way.

Carolyn – Thank you so much for sharing your journey with everyone. I know you are enjoying those babies!

PA_FA – I am sorry to hear about the protein in your urine. It seems like it is always one thing after another with us right? But, I am confident that you will be fine. It might help to stop reading … lol. No, I am kidding but I know for myself the more educated I am, the more I seem to panic but education is always a good thing. I would always tell my patients that! Are you experiencing any other symptoms like high BP, swelling, etc? Why wait so long to monitor you again?

Sara – I have been thinking of you and wondering how you were doing. I started to worry when I read your post but I am glad everything turned out fine. I think the bed rest is an excellent idea for you. I was so worried with all of that swelling that you were experiencing before. Try your best to relax and I am sure those babies will stay put for a few more weeks!

Katie – I keep watching your ticker and looking for some news on your end also! You are so close! I am so excited for you! How are you feeling?

Gi – Oh don’t feel bad about the pregnancy brain because it is getting really bad for me! Today, I looked like a complete idiot today in front of a physicians’ office. I totally forgot I have an appointment with another office tomorrow but made plans for another meeting with them on the same day at the same time. So I had to go back in the office and change it and of course I looked like a complete idiot. But, forgetting your 14 year anniversary beats me … lol. No I am just kidding but I had to giggle when I read your post. Who can blame us because we have so much on our plates right now!

Stephanie – I rushed home and quickly logged in to see if you had any updates but I guess things are progressing ok right now.

AFM – I am completely exhausted right now. Everyone that knows me said you look soooo tired when they saw me this afternoon. And, they were right, I feel like I am stuck in neutral … lol. Did I tell you ladies that I can’t wait for maternity leave … I need some time off from work!

Good luck Stephxxxxxxxxxxx

[babyluv]

Gi - WOW!! You forgot your anniversary??! That is too, too funny. What did Jason say? Glad your appt went well and Kayla is kickin' around.

Angela - Girl, you have GOT to get some rest somehow! Is there anyway you can cut back on your traveling? I know that takes a lot of out me. I'm wondering if your iron is low. It's so super common in pregnancy, but generally you don't find out until you get your GTT results. Did they say anything to you? My nurse just gave me all of my medical records and my iron is STILL low despite the iron I'm taking. They didn't mention anything and I know it's hard for twin moms to keep their iron up (it's just a little low), but that could be causing some of your fatigue. Maybe? Or maybe you just work too hard!

AFM - DH has a side business and he has been asking me for weeks to make up some manuals for him (I always do it because I used to be a graphic designer and I created all of the artwork). For some reason I hate putting them together, even though they are super easy to do, so now I am under the gun. I'm printing off stuff now and I was putting the part of the manuals together while the kids and I watched Beauty and the Beast (their first time...mom is gone for a few days and DH is at a meeting). Sigh, I can be such a procrastinator!

Ethan was born at 9:33 weighing 6.5lbs 19 3/4 in and Angelina at 9:35 weighing 5.8 18 1/2 in! Both are extremely well, no jaundice, breathing perfect and breastfeeding well. They are being so easy so far and sleeping well, taking it easy on mom and dad. lol Going to try to post a picture from this darn phone of mine. Hopefully it works. Afm, I am not doing too bad. The pain meds keeps the incision feeling not so bad. It is not fun to move though. I didn't enjoy the feeling of the spinal and tugging for the c section, but got through it. All has ended well and glad to have such perfect babies who haven't had to spend a minute in the nicu! Andrew is jumping on the daddy role and being very helpful. Not sure if I will post again till I am home which should be friday. Much love baby mamas!!

Ok, couldn't post a pic with my cell so it will have to wait.

CONGRATS STEPH!!!! They sound absolutely perfect!! It was a loooooong pregnancy for you, especially this last month, but you did awesome and now it's all worth it. I'm so glad they are being good for you. Hopefully you can get a little rest tonight. I bet Andrew and Alex are overjoyed with the new additions. Can't wait to hear updates when you can, but won't be expecting them anytime soon. Enjoy those little ones!

[angelaezra]

Stephanie – I have been checking and checking all day and I am soooo happy for you and Andrew! Congratulations!!!!! I am thrilled that the babies didn’t have to go to the NICU at all. That is fantastic news! Please try to rest up as much as possible and I can’t wait to read an update on Friday.

Steph to Ethan and Angelina!
I'm surprised you posted so quickly - but YAY that must mean that you're feeling alright. I'm so happy for you!!
This sure was a long and trying time for you and you pulled it off like a trooper! I didnt think that your babies were going to be anywhere near the NICU, not those little toughies! Home on Friday? Thats so quick, please just take it easy and let the nurses take care of you! I'll bet that Andrew and Alex are in love at first sight of those cuties.

Congratulations, Steph, I'm so thrilled for you and Andrew. Great weights too and no NICU time at all, you did so well Mum! I bet you, Andrew and Alex have just fallen madly in love with them - we can't wait to see pictures! Glad to hear you don't feel too bad after the c-section and that Ethan and Angelina are behaving beautifully so far - make the most of that and your time in hospital to rest (I didn't!) because once they get less snoozy and you get home, you won't get a moment to yourself (in a fun but totally knackering way!). Take care and heal quickly. Give those beautiful babies a kiss from George and I!!

You're next, Katie...
