They will actually let me try for a vaginal delivery as long as baby A (the one closer to the exit) is larger or the same size as baby B AND baby A is head down. I'm really hoping I don't need a c section but the odds are stacked against me.
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!! My sister came first, and she was both head down AND bigger than me! I've always been the rebel, apparently, lol!
TTC since July 2012
BFP #1: 11/9/13; spontaneous m/c at 6w2d, 11/25/13
Best part of week: B is just giving do many toothless smiles. He really is just such a joy.
Worst part: He had started going to bed at 6. We don't get him home from DC till about 5:30/5:45, so our time is really limited
Milestones: Hes sleeping in his room in his crib like a big boy! His nursery still isn't finished though.
Best item on the registry was definitely the ergo. I used it every day on maternity leave and I use it every day Im home with him. He loves it and I love that I can grocery shop, go for walks or go to crowded places like a sporting event without taking a stroller.
QOTW - With the holidays coming up, are you doing anything special for your LO to commemorate being pg this year? I might buy us an "Expecting" ornament that's personalized or something like that. Then again, I'm sure my mom will get us one. Other than that, I don't think we'll do anything special.
I didn't even know there was such a thing as an ornament for expecting mommies! Gonna need to find that for sure!
My friend got me one last year. It was a pregnant snowman
Best part of your week? All the smiles that Arthur is giving out. Love it! I also got to sleep through the night last night. First time since Arthur has been born. I went back to work today. So, Mike got up with Arthur since he is now starting his paternity leave.
Worst part of your week? Going back to work. But, a small part of me is ready. I am ready to get back into the swing of things and get to our new normal.
Milestones? Smiles. All the smiles. Love it! He also is reaching up and grabbing at my face while he eats.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry?
Aden and Anais swaddle blankets. They are amazing! And sleepers with zippers instead of the snaps.
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
How are you feeling? Tired and uncomfortable, but other than that, okay. I feel like I'm about to hit that "wall" everyone talks about, though... I am just so tired of being pregnant.
What are you craving? Nothing.
What is grossing you out? Nothing.ETA: Oooh, I just realized there is one thing that is totally grossing me out lately... I'm not a slasher-flick kinda gal even when not pregnant, but anything gross/gory on movies/TV makes me sick to my stomach. Like, even more so than normal. We were watching the first episode of Game of Thrones the other day, and there were some scenes that would normally not bug me, but I had to turn away because I felt myself getting sick over watching them.
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? We bought the pack n play on Saturday and set it up on Sunday.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My next appointment is November 19th.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a girl.
Any names picked out? Elle Rose
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? It's a huge mess. Seriously.
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Not today.
QOTW - With the holidays coming up, are you doing anything special for your LO to commemorate being pg this year? Ever since we got married, we get an ornament that signifies things that happened that year, so I will most likely get pregnancy ornament.
Best part of your week? Having 6 days off to spend with L and DH
Worst part of your week? L did not adjust well to Daylight Savings time. Sleep has been rough.
Milestones? He can army crawl, pull to standing and cruise on the furniture.
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry? Probably the A&A blankets. They are our most-used blankets, by far, and L naps with them now too.
Best part of your week? Meeting with friends for dinner and the zoo over the weekend.
Worst part of your week? Zack having his first fever/cold. Poor baby
Milestones? Zack discovered his feet.
PIP those kiddos!
QOTW - What item would you recommend everyone have on their baby registry? A good video monitor. We love ours and even if you don't think you need one they are so nice to have to be able to check on the kids without disturbing them or checking to see if they are fussing because they actually need help or for some other reason.

I completely agree with this!!! Arthur's bedroom is very close to ours and we don't need it for the sound. We hear every sound he makes. But to be able to see if you really need to go in there or not, it's great!
After awhile, you just want to be with the one who makes you laugh. - Mr. Big
How are you feeling? Good for the most part. We had a busy weekend and I am exhausted today but other than that, good!
What are you craving? Nothing
What is grossing you out? Eggs, raw meat, dirty dishes, toothpaste
Have you bought/received anything for the baby lately? My aunt added some fun baby stuff to our birthday presents that we got yesterday. I got an elephant kids game and R got a cars book and cute "handsome like daddy" outfit.
Ultrasounds? Betas? Appointments? My last appointment was on Nov 5th. My next one is Dec 3 then we go to every other week appointments. She started measuring my fundal height. I measured 20.5cm at 22.5 weeks but she didn't seem concerned.
Have you / will you found out the sex? It's a boy!
Any names picked out? His name is Evan Robert
How is the nursery coming along? PIPs? Themes? We are doing aqua, grey and white with an elephant theme. We have cleaned out the room and painting has begun!
Anything else you would like to add or PIP? Nope!
QOTW - With the holidays coming up, are you doing anything special for your LO to commemorate being pg this year? When we went on our honeymoon to Disney, we bought ourselves really nice Mickey and Minnie stockings. My sis is going right before Christmas and we've asked her to pick up a Disney stocking for baby. We might put some little toys or something in it this year for fun!
Congrats to my TTC buddy Madeline!

Cycles 1-9: BFN Cycle 10: Surprise BFP on 10/17/2013! EDD: June 25, 2014 Baby Girl born via induction June 26, 2014
I love that you can move either camera from the base unit, it switches automatically between the two cameras or you can choose just to monitor one, it has lullabies built in you can play, and also has the ability to talk through the base unit to the camera. And obviously I like that it has the two camera capability. It also comes in a model with a smaller screen that is a bit cheaper. We got it on sale at Target along with an extra gift card when we bought it so got a really good deal on it.

I'm late but I want to play! Best part of this week has been the baby snuggles, though they are extremely limited since A and S have to stay in their incubators most of the time. Worst part was the terror I felt knowing babies were coming so early. I was literally shaking for hours on Tuesday and Wednesday...also seeing them hooked up to the monitors and not picking them up whenever I want.

One thing you need on your registry: I agree with PP ... A&A blankets are a must and the zip up sleepers .... so much easier at 3AM!
