Hi Ladies - Sounds like things have been progressing well with everyone. My boys are doing great, gaining weight everyday and have even started to bottle feed about 4 feeds/day. The staff is so amazed that these little things can throw back so much food .
AFM: I have had an interesting ride in the last week. I had a seizure in the hospital which led to a CAT scan/MRI work up and a brain tumor was discovered. I thank God that the babies were out for 3 days as that could have had an entirely different outcome. Although this is still a shock for me and my family we are up for the challenge and fight and the initial prognosis is that it looks like a benign mass. I have a second opinion consultation tomorrow and will be able to really understand what comes next to get this thing out.

OMG TTCNB. I hope everything turns out okay for you. We will pray for you. Sounds like you have some great doctors. I am glad to hear about the boys doing so well. I love their names.
Jen- Congrats on team Blue. Good luck with the rest of your pregnancy.
AFM- Not much going on. 25 weeks today, still managing to exercise and nesting like crazy. I have cleaned up so much stuff the past few days. Sorry for being MIA, it's hard to get online with out the kids attacking my computer.

Wow, what a huge shocker! I'm really sorry that this is happening to you.
A personal story: A few years ago, they found a brain tumor on my grandfather. Just the words "brain tumor" sounded so terrible, so dangerous... Turns out, the brain tumor was benign and the procedure to remove it was very simple. I had expected my grandfather to be gravely ill and have his head all bandaged up and all he had was a little band-aid on his nose and he was ready to go home! Hopefully, yours is like this - sounded more scary than it was.

TTCNB- OMG!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe you are having to deal with this!!!! The good thing is that they found it and you didn't have further complications. Did you have any other symptoms to indicate something was going on? I have a friend who had a benign brain tumor and it was taken out and all was good. I am saying a special prayer for you, this is too much for somebody to have to deal with let alone when you just had your babies! You sound like you have a very positive attitude which is going to help you more than anything!
LYD- glad you found the HB, yeah!!! I bet that was an awesome sound to hear! I am about to slap some U/S jelly on my belly and listen to my little guy even though he is kicking the crap out of my cervix right now! =] Doing the happy dance for you!!
Hello to everybody else I missed. Thank you for the feedback on the name and all the congrats you all gave to me. I am doing good, Landon's kicks are getting stronger everyday and I love it. I can feel it while walking now and previously I had to stay still. DH still hasn't felt it which sucks because I know he wants too! I am officially half way through my pregnancy and although it feels like it took forever to get to 20 weeks in retrospect it went fast. Hoping for a healthy remainder of my pregnancy.
Much love and hugs to all of you.

Ttcnb-keeping you in my prayers. I sm glad they found this early. Early intervention is everything. Praying extra hard for you. Sebdin you a big hug, all my love, abd strength...
AFM-I am officially on bedrest for the next week. I went yo see my OB and mow I have two large bleeds. One next to each of the sacks. The bleeding today was horrible. Thank God, the babies are doing well and they are both measuring right on track. Heartbeats were 169 and 167. My OB hads taken me off of the Lovenox for now and will reassess the situation when she sees me next Tuesday. I am nervous about going off of the Lovenox but I guess I can't keep bleeding like this. I am terrified of what could happen to my LO's while being off of the Lovenox. Anyone have this type of experience? Thank you all for your continued support. Here are my precious LO's.

Jen.....Love the name Landon
I have had family here for 3 weeks so now I am on my own we are slowly getting into a groove. We had our 2 week check up today (a little late she is actually 3 weeks) and she measured at 19 3/4 inches long! That is a far cry from the 17.5 at birth....she really is growing like a weed! She has gained just under a pound but is doing well.....I am getting some sleep but would like more of course! Write more later....
