Re: Babes With Bumps
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I went to the chiropractor yesterday and my sciatic pain is much better. He gave me some stretches/massage techniques to try at home and then I'll go back if it flares up again. It's still sore but I can move- yay!
I also saw my MFM yesterday and saw that both babies are doing awesome. They're measuring about 2 weeks ahead and weighing in at 2.1 and 2.0 pounds. They said "they can slow down their growth a little now! Starting at 28 weeks they'll be gaining 1/2 pound a week." I may have a couple of 7 pound twins by 36 weeks!
Annnnnd finally, this afternoon is my glucose test and a normal OB check-up. Wish me luck!
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon?
Nope. We wanted to do at least a family vacation, but that was before we found out it was twins. I'm already at the point where I can't do much traveling, so it's going to get put on the back burner.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year?
All of it. I'm starving! We are attending at my parent's house Thursday and DH's parent's house Friday. I will help my mom cook, but she buys everything and plans it.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
Hope everyone has a great holiday/day or two off!
Our crazy, wonderful life
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I'm actually feeling good pregnancywise. A little but of energy has kicked in. My next appointment is Friday. Oh I hope all that thanksgiving food and treats put 10 lbs on me. Still have yet to get my glucose screen. Will probably go in the next couple days after my appointment once I get the script
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon?
We did with Evan. But other than spending the night away for a wedding a couple weeks ago most likely not
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year?
Mom looking forward to yummy mashed potatoes. My mom makes the best. We will be eating at my parents
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
Started the nursery and going to buy the furniture on Friday. Found a good black Friday deal at bru! On my phone now will post bump picture once I get to my computer as I don't know how to do it on here
ok..26 week bump from Saturday
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I'm feeling as well as can be expected. I'm starting to notice more BH and got a real one last night, so that was great. Next appointment is Monday
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon?
H surprised me with a weekend away a while ago. That was more than I figured we'd do, so it was nice even if it was just one night. We went up to the mountains and hit the outlets, played some mini-golf and went for a hike. Pretty good time.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year?
I usually only eat turkey, mashed potatoes and a roll. I hate all of the other sides. This year I'm hosting and doing all of the cooking, so I'll eat the cranberry sauce and green beans too. 16-24 people in our tiny house. Should be fun.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
I feel great. I'm starting to sleep on my side now. I'm a belly sleeper. My doctor said there's no specific time when you need to start sleeping on your side, that it will just happen. Well nows when I'm noticing the change to sleeping on my side.
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon?
We went on a baby-moon at the end of Aug and early Sept to China.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year?
I'm looking most forward to the stuffing. I'm just attending dinner (and a lunch) this year. We're going to my parents for Thanksgiving lunch, and then to DH's cousins for Thanksgiving dinner.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
Starting to get more achey and sleep has been more difficult. The nosebleeds have now increased to pretty much every day, so I'm going to talk with the doctor about that at my next appt. GTT is 11/29 bright and early!
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon?
Our trip to ME and MA in July as our "we know we're ttc" trip, which ended up with me 7 weeks pregnant. We'll be travelling to MA for Christmas, but as far as I know that's it. I'd love to get away my birthday weekend in January, but I doubt that it will happen unless I plan it.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year?
Going 30 minutes away to the in-laws. Making their apple casserole (sliced apples, velveeta and sugar).
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
Can't get a pic from my phone (that I know how to anyway). Will try to get one later. Compared to Lahorn, I look huge!
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? Achy hips/pelvis this week, so I think things are starting to loosen up & spread out a little bit. Have a little bit of a cold right now too, which is a bummer. Otherwise, things are good.
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? We aren't doing anything too crazy, but we are planning on going away for the night somewhere next Saturday.... it will be first night we'll have spent away from Mads and I'm really excited to get to really enjoy some alone time with DH since I know that it'll be much tougher to find the time once Lily gets here.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? Stuffing & mashed potatoes..... hands down my favorite part of Thanksgiving!
We're going to my parents for dinner.

1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week?
Just got back from an appt. I am now 4 cm dilated, completely effaced, and my membranes were stripped all on their own. The doctor dug around up there, trying to strip them even higher and see if we can kick start anything. All I need is my water to break and Carter would be here verrrry quickly. So now I just wait and see what little man wants to do
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? Nope.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? I'll be at my mom's (as long as I am not in the hospital) and my favorite food is the stuffing (cooked in the bird, with mushrooms) YUMMY!
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
39 weeks, 2 days. And yes, I cut my head off b/c I was making the world's stupidest face. Don't need THAT floating around on the internet. Ha!
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? Feeling good, just some back pain still (but not nearly as bad after a chiro visit). Wish I could sleep better but the back pain wakes me up some. Otherwise, nothing new! Next appointment is Monday!
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? We have talked about a weekend at a B&B (within 2-3 hours) but it is track season now, so I'm back to coaching and having no free weekends, so we'll see.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? Attending at ILs. Always look forward to her corn (it's better than ANYWHERE else), mashed potatoes, and desserts!
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
I fail at taking bump pics. Haven't in weeks.
A. You are SO CLOSE! YAY!
B. You are carrying so high! You look great-just like someone stuck a ball under your shirt!
Thanks
It's funny you say I am carrying high b/c I have actually dropped quite a bit! I am getting that bowling-ball-between-the-legs feeling. Super fun!
Carter should come on Saturday! I am sure Kim (Star) would agree with me when I say the 26th is a great birthday :-)

1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? I feel like shiit. Sorry to say it, but I constantly feel hung over or like I'm dying. Can't stop puking, constant headaches, just want to sleep. UGH.
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? We are probably going to Key West in April. I've never been!
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? Attending my parents followed by his. Most looking forward to my mom's cornbread stuffing. It's out of this world.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here!
I don't really "do" bump pics... besides, no bump to show just yet. But I love looking at others'!
My due date is now 6/3/12. Thanks!
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? Just tired. I love naps! Most of my pants are also no longer buttoning. No appointments this week (I think the next one is in early Dec.)
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? Nothing planned. I did visit DH while he was on a business trip in Philly for a long weekend, but I don't think that counts.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? All of it! I love turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, veggies, cranberry jelly, pie, rolls, etc. We're going to the ILs for lunch (we're bringing stuffing and pies) and my aunt's for dinner (we're bringing Oreo Truffles for a treat!). I can't wait!
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here! I've been taking pictures, but there's not a huge bump to see yet. Maybe next week.

1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? I was feeling great until yesterday, now I feel awful. Had a regular appointment yesterday which ended up with me in L&D for 18 hours. Baby's HR was really high, around 180-200, and kept dipping erractically. I was monitored all night and things calmed down. There was no determination for the tachycardia so possibly the umbilical cord was wrapped around her neck and she was in distress for a short while and managed to wiggle loose. So now I have to be worried for the next 4 weeks that something may be wrong and have to be very aware of fetal movement. Anyway, being hooked up to monitors for so long in such an uncomfortable bed, I feel really sore and tired today with a really bad headache. I have a follow-up non-stress test that I'm supposed to take on Friday when we're in Minneapolis for the holiday.
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? Nope
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? I am looking forward to just grazing all day on all kinds of yummy food! We're going to my parents' for T-day. We leave tomorrow morning for the ~13 hour car ride.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here! We've almost used up all of our internet allowance for the month so I won't post a pic, but there is a belly pic in my blog (link in siggy) from snowshoeing the other day.

I'm sorry you (and your baby) had to go through that. I'm glad things are calm, but it sounds like the next few weeks could be a little stressful. I hope things stay quiet, I will be thinking about you.
Sorry I am once again late. But better than never right....
1.) How are you feeling? Any new milestones or changes in symptoms you'd like to share? Any appointments coming up this week? Feeling good. Still nothing really to report. I am waiting to feel some movement. My next appointment is the 30th.
2.) Are you going on/did you go on a baby-moon? We don't have any trips planned during my pregnancy but we did go to the Bahamas last October as our last couple vacation before a baby.
3.) What Thanksgiving food are you most looking forward to? Are you hosting or just attending dinner this year? My grandma's homemade noodles. I love them! We are heading to my aunt's and then we will make the drive up to see the ILs.
4.) Anything else to share? Since most won't be around on Friday, post your bump pic here! I am showing a little but if you don't know me then it isn't really noticable IMO. This is from Saturday, not a great picture of me but you get the idea.
