Beautiful Babies Due in 2011 (Combined Group)

[Sweetpea614]

Leora- I'm reading your blog and I'm so sorry about Asaf's kidney's. Praying hard they kick in soon. I love that you are singing to him. I wish I could think of a good song to sing but I'm a horrible singer and can't remember any words and the only song I could sing to my kids was Itsy Bitsy Spider and She's Was Coming Around the Mountain.

Anton- Thank you. I see you are cycleing again. How is your cycle going? Praying you get that bfp. Lucky number 7.

Ashley- Ya on the negative GD test that is awesome news. I agree with you that inducing at 39 weeks is a weird policy to have. But they can't force you so you can say no.

Stephanie- What a cute picture. It's amaizng how weel those 3d/4d pick up there features. How are the boys sleeping?

Blair- So sorry you have no sex drive or second wind either. That is cool your are holding out on telling people the baby's names. My gf thinks I should do that. I was going to make it a game at the baby shower to have everyone guess the baby's name. I'm really bad at keepign secrets like that and so isn't Chris. A few drinks in him and he will spill.

Annashope- Thank you. Congrats on reaching the 36 week mark. I can't beleive you had a 23" waist that is soooo tiny. I don't remember the last time I had a 23" waist. I think about 6 years ago maybe.

Riogrl- What your little boy said about the boobies made me crack up. I love the things little kids say. So darn cute and to the point;) That is sweet of your dogs already being so concerned and thinking hey you need to go help him in there.

AFM: Nothing new to report except the last few days I haven't slept at all. It's starting to really drain me.

Kat- I think holding out until the shower would be cute. You could give them the initials and see who can guess the right name. And if he has a few drinks and spills before then oh well...since you werent planning on keeping it hidden it wouldnt be a huge deal. Sorry you are still feeling so drained. If it werent for my daily naps from 4-5p I would probably be the exact same way. I assume youve tried sleeping with a pillow between your legs and behind your back? Works wonders for me.

SD- Hoping that Rio can give you all the advice you need to prepare yourself for #2. Ive heard those gel freezer pads works wonders on a sore nipple though. Im sure we will have to invest in lots.

Rio- You really have to post pics of that little lady. I cant wait to see her. Sorry to hear you are bleeding and sore but hopefully it will get better soon. Sounds like you are juggling everything wonderfully. Keep up the good work and hopefully your pain starts getting better soon.

Anna- Yeaaa for 36 wks!!! I remember awhile back we thought you would be going extra early. Glad baby Paul was able to get comfy in there and hold off. Im sure you are ready to run out of the house but just know its all worth it! 22 days will be here in no time! You were teeny tiny before and im sure youll go right back down after Paul gets here.

AFM- Half way point for me- 19 wks!!!! starting to have tailbone pain now, probably from sitting in a chair at work all day. I try to get up and move around every so often (luckily bathroom breaks every 30-45 min helps with that). I really may look into pregnancy massages soon too, especially if they are covered by my insurance. Question for twin moms- when did you start getting the room ready? I dont want to do anything too early but I also dont want to wait too long and not be able to be involved.

My little "old man", Jaxon, with his new horseshoe hairdo... I snapped this pic when he was waking from a nap to get a grumpy old man kinda look. Hehehe!



Here's a before pic...



And an updated pic of both of my sweet boys...

Crashing for BabyBlue,
I love the sweet looks on those boy's faces and how you make fun of the receding hair-line much too young for that don't you think! hehe but it's nice they are doing great!

[Happy Bunny]

Stephanie: I can't help but to laugh at the old man comments... Your boys are adorable.

Here's a 1 month pic of Brooke:

I should mention that DH and his dad and brother are all bald. They all shave their heads so no one can see their horseshoes.

Barbara - Brooke is gorgeous and getting so stinking big! I can't believe she's a month old already. How is she doing at night, is she sleeping well for the most part?

[klinger13]

Leora - I'm so hoping and praying that Asaf's kidneys start functioning properly. I just cannot imagine what you are going through. He's such a cutie and such a little fighter. Thank you for taking the time to blog what's happening so we can stay up to date on how Asaf, you, and David are.

Rio - So glad you're all home from the hospital and Elizabeth is doing well. And your DS sounds so darn cute!

Stephanie - Love Jaxon's new hairdo! He really did lose a lot but wow, he is so darn adorable!!

Barbara - Brooke is so sweet! What a little cutie pie!

Blair - Congrats on hitting the halfway mark, woo-hoo!!

Annashope - 36 weeks, awesome job mama! And I'm sure your c-section is going to go great. I'm still amazed at how great I felt just a few days after having it. A week or so after my c-section I couldn't even tell I'd had major surgery. And wow, 23 inches? I honestly don't think I've ever had a 23 inch waist in my life, ever.

Ashley - Great news on testing negative for GD! When I had my first two (22 & 19 years ago) they didn't even offer epidurals routinely so I was never asked if I wanted one nor would I have known to even ask for one. So other than a shot of Demerol towards the end (which did absolutely nothing) my first two were natural childbirths. It was very painful, I won't lie, but that pain was over as soon as those babies came out. You can always plan to go natural and if it gets to be too much, ask for the epidural or other pain management options.

I've been reading every day but don't always have time to post. Just know I'm thinking of all of you and am looking forward to the next round of babies to be born. Here's an updated picture of Maribel, this one at 3 weeks old.

Leora...I don't have the words. I'm so sorry your world has come crashing down again. I know it can offer you no peace right now, but please know you and David are in my prayers.
