May 2010 Babies

[ladybug09]

Hi ladies,
Sorry I have been missing for so long. I have been trying to catch up with some of the posts. I've been going through so much and been so busy, back to work and had a few scares. Overall the baby is doing great. I feel flutters all day but still waiting for that 1st kick. I find out what I'm having on Dec 8th I cant wait. My last u/s was last tues and we could have found out but the baby turned his/her back on us and then started flipping. Such an amazing sight to see. Im glad most of you are doing well I think about you all, all the time. Fitz Im sorry to hear about the twins. I will try and post more but with my work schedule its so hard and im so tired. I do have a little pop belly and my belly is rounding out.I'm so happy we all made it this far. what a long journey we have went through and we still have a few months to go. Anyways ladies, I will keep in touch. Talk with you soon.

Hello!
I haven't posted on here in a while but I have been reading everyones posts each week.
I am glad to hear (well not glad for you, but glad that I am not alone) that other people are still having morning sickness. I was counting down the days to start week 15 - I was just SURE it woudl go away...well I woke up this morning, day one of week 15, and I am sicker than I was last week! Thank goodness for Zofran...!
We find out what the babies are on December 3rd. (We have two identical twins and a singleton). I can't wait!
I think of you all often and you and your babies are in my prayers.
My big task this month is figuring out the best stroller for triplets...overwhelming and expensive...but that may be the story of my life for the next 18 years! haha!

Hi Everyone,

Well, we had our 3D gender check on Saturday and the results were not clear. They think the identicals are girls..but wouldn't say 100%. baby C was back to the camera and legs locked...so very hard to tell. They were all VERY active and cute and fun to see..but I will have to wait another 2 1/2 weeks till the anatomy scan. I'm off to MN Wednesday for Thanksgiving and baby shower. I'm very excited to see my friends and for them to see my belly! I've been feeling alot of those tickling bubbly movements and can't wait for people on the outside to feel!

Have a great week everyone and Happy Thanksgiving if I'm not on again.

Ladybug- I'm so glad you posted, I was wondering where you went! Glad to hear everything is going well.

Allie- Glad you're back too! I was just looking through previous posts the other day and I was wondering how the triplets were doing! Are you showing a whole lot now? I got my double stroller on ebay. I wanted the Peg Perego stroller, which is very expensive, but we have that brand of carseat, so I wanted something compatible to snap the infant carriers into very easily. I got it for half the price from a seller on ebay, but I was also on the lookout on Craigslist and saw some good deals on there too. I've heard the side by side (by side) strollers are good for going for walks and being outdoors, but the front to back ones are good for the stores and things because of the width of aisles and things. I've also seen triplets with one double stroller and a single. Just some ideas.

Faith- I know what you mean about the headaches. DH went to the Bears game last night (our poor Bears ) and didnt get home until after midnight and he woke me up, I felt like my head was going to split in two. Tylenol doesn't seem to be strong enough either. If I was not pregs, I would have called in sick today, but since I want to save up days for maternity leave, I want to make sure I only use those days when I really need them toward the end.

I have my u/s appointment later this afternoon, so i'm excited about that. I bought one of those dopplers, so I had fun with that all weekend and even though I can't be sure I heard two distinct heartbeats, I know I heard two heartbeats in two different locations and that was all the reassurance I needed. Silly me, I bought the one that doesn't show the heartrate, so I stared at the second hand on my clock to make sure they were normal. The funny thing is that i thought I was getting a deal on this one when I ordered it, but then I found out that the one that shows the digital reading is just as much as every other site. Yeah, i'm not big into noticing details these days. Sometimes I drive home and wonder how the heck I got there.

Update: Just got back from the Maternal Fetal Specialist and they took a peek! We have a boy and a girl! We're so excited. My head was spinning, I had to ask dh what side each was on because as she was talking, I just wanted to shout for joy and couldn't concentrate!

Gi - So good to hear from you! Glad you are back on path! Please check in from time to time. Prayers for a successful Feb/March transfer.

[JG_379]

fitz- i'm so sorry about your losses. I am thinking of you and your family in this hard time. Please take care of yourself and remember that we're here for you.

gi- i'm so happy to hear your back in the game! Are you using your own eggs or donor eggs? I think you mentioned having that decision last time. You have lots of support over here and lots of prayers for you and your family, so I just know that you're going to get some good news soon.

Faith- Congrats on your two (probably) little girls! Your other little one probably just wants some of the spotlight, so he/she is saving it for another day! I didn't see your post because I think we posted within minutes of each other yesterday, so I was probably writing as you hit submit!

Hi Everyone,

Gi - I am happy to see you on here again and hope that this time around everything will go well. Sounds like you are giving it a try with your own eggs again, hm?

Fitz - I am so sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine what you and your husband must be going through. This has to be a huge painful dissappointment but I hope you can heal and pick up anew if this is what you so desire.

JG - Congrats on the perfect gender duo.

[ladybug09]

Fitz: I am really sorry to hear about the news. This road is so rough. I will keep you in my prayers.

Ladies where can I find the cheapest doppler? I want to buy one.

[JG_379]

Ladybug- You can find them for under $30 at Babies R Us and places like that. I haven't tried one of those, so i'm not sure what point you can start using them and be able to hear something. I got a doppler online that can be used as early as 10 weeks and the brand is Hi Bebe and I paid around $65 for it, but it doesn't show the rate (boo!), the one that shows the rate is around $100.
