Re: Ten Things Tuesday
I will be sending good vibes your way. 50th percentile is great and the neonatologist always were most concerned about head growth (they like to see that brain grow!). Try not to stress too much and rest as much as possible. If you need to chat you can email me (I think you have my email) sometimes it is good just to get your fears out on the table. Hugs

FWIW - the same thing happened with Gray. They didn't have twin to twin transfusion, but Carter was literally taking up every square inch and Gray was squished down as far he could do on my lower left side. Their weights were pretty disproportionate at birth (4.14 and 6.9) and have continued on that way (Gray just made it to the 15th percentile) but he's had no ill effects from it.
Hang in there - although I know it is so hard not to worry!
How are their hearts?
So sorry you are having to worry about this. Sending you hugs and good thoughts!

Sending you lots of good vibes. Hang in there.
Thank you all SO MUCH for all the well wishes-- they brought tears to my eyes! I really appreciate you all!!
2brides -- I think their hearts are both okay. They never told us what the concern was last time, just took a million pics of our boy's heart (and only a few of our girl's) and told us to come back in 3 weeks. This time they took the same number of each twin's heart, and the MFM seemed much more concerned about our girl's abdomen than any of the heart pictures. They did confirm that both babies have 4-chambered hearts, which is good.
IUI #3 gave us the best 2nd anniv. gift ever: 2 babies! (born 03/09/10)
Peanut and Little Man are getting so big! 2 years old already!
finally blogging again at This Will Be: An Adventure
1. I haven't done TTT in a while...I have been struggling with some worries that I am not able to air here yet and they have been making me want to hide under a rock, but they are what fills much of my thoughts.
2. I 2nd Madison's reminder about World AIDS Day. I have worked with patients in the HIV community for 3 years now and it is the most rewarding job ever.
3. I have had the bad mommy feeling for a week now, my fuse has been short with my DD due to added stress and I feel terrible. I am trying to make it up to her this week.
4. My DD has taken to asking me lately "Mommy will you always be my friend?" Makes me tear up just typing it
She asked me it again last night which makes me feel better about #3.
5. I need some IRL gay friends. My straight friends are awesome and super-supportive, but sometimes I feel like I just need something more.
6. I wish we lived close enough we could have a get-together too.
7. I am sending positive vibes for thiswillbe and nevr2amazin's baby girl that everything will work out just fine.
8. It's super sunny here today and Mt. Rainier is ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!
9. I am going to attempt some major Christmas shopping this Friday night and Saturday morning and hope that I get most of it done, I hate the crowds!
10. My boss is taking me out for drinks on Friday afternoon in celebration of my 5 year work anniversary, yippee!
I have your tenth thing C, and it is a happy one at that...shhhhh...I snuck out and went grocery shopping for us!
(DITTO--The LBs are the most important thing...I don't feel like working either! Don't worry about our Baby Sprout...like Two*True said, she is going to get her brother back for all this!)
1. I hate that I always reply to everything late.
2. I want to be done with school forever. To bad I'm an all or nothing person, and my masters is 4 years away.
3. I have been lazy coming home lately. Since Julie works nights. I come home nad plop on the couch.
4. I'm worried about our puppy. We were suppose to get him this weekend, but he's not eating well on his own, so we have to wait another week.
5. I wish my own parents did as much for DW and I as, DW's mother does.
6. My moms long term BF has 3 daughters as well. This including my 2 sisters is a total of 5 teenage girls. I need to buy gifts for I have no idea what to get that doesn't break the budget.
7. I LOVE the holidays. I WANT my tree up now! However, I can't believe that it is already this time of year, but I never want it to end. I love everything about it!
8. Julie put up the cutest lights on our porch.
9. My engagment ring hasn't fit me since the wedding. I haven't gotten it sized, and I feel so sad wearing just my silver band. I need to get that done asap. I also hate that I've gained weight and it doesn't fit.
10. I can't wait for my 21st birthday. However, not b/c I'll be able to legally get drunk, but just b/c it's my bday. I have NO ambition to get trashed on my bday.
1. I'm freezing and have been all day long. I can't seem to warm up!
2. I have a hair appointment tomorrow and I'm looking forward to it. I'm so bored with my current style but have no idea how to change it up. I'm hoping she can help.
3. I was such a grouch at work last night and I really feel bad about it. I hate when I go into work and have to clean up all of day shift's mess. There is no excuse for some of the things I walk into sometimes. It's a safety issue.
4. I've gotten a couple calls from hospitals in Atlanta but can't make up my mind. I'm afraid I'd be bored in a small suburban ER but at the same time I'm tired of working ridiculously hard at a large urban trauma center.
5. I hate it when people say "oh your a nurse you make the big bucks". Really...it's not enough when you consider I get verbally abused by patients, spend countless hours babysitting drunks/druggies, chasing out homeless people, and catering to people who believe that you lose all ability to care for yourself when you walk through the doors of the ER...especially those who come in with chest pain x42 months, spend 12 hours on my feet with maybe 1 chance to pee and seriously...a lunch break? What is that because we don't get them. The ER is for emergencies. It is not your primary care doctor's office and it is not a clinic so quit using it as such.
6. Wow...see I said I was a big grouch at work last night. see #5.
7. I'm so grateful for Jenn. I love her so much and am so blessed to have her in my life.
8. I'm getting so excited for Christmas. I love this time of year. I hope we can finish our Christmas shopping this weekend.
9. I really want some babies.
10. I'm ready to be in Atlanta already so we can carry on with our lives and start our new adventures.
1. my baby is sleeping on my wife's chest right now and looking oh so adorable.
2. he had a rough night last night.
3. we're pretty sure he's having a growth spurt.
4. i'm so in love.
5. and so exhausted.
6. i would like some chocolate cake.
7. and a better camera.
8. and better lighting in my house.
9. we're going to take monkey out on his first shopping trip tomorrow.
10. i want to set up our christmas tree but we've moved some things around this year and we have no idea where we'll do it.
1. I am late to TTT and was surprised by the number of posts.
2. The past two weeks have been a frenzy: moving, house renovations, Thanksgiving and visitors.
3. No that almost everyone is gone (C's best friend is still here) the house seems so big and quiet.
4. It makes me think about filling it with some kids.
5. Wow, I just realized that I'm not looking forward to starting ttc again.
6. School is overwhelming right now and I'm looking forward to the break.
7. I'm looking into foster parenting again. The plan is to have two kids and then consider it when they're a bit older, but I'm thinking of proposing the idea to C to get licensed while we're trying.
8. It's nice to have Kai home with us (he was with my family for two weeks) but we're getting used to the new space/routine.
9. I miss my dad. He was here for a week and a half working on all the house stuff, and just left today.
10. I got my haircut on Sunday and love it. Now I just need to get the color done.
