I still lurk here just about every day. I don't post too much since I'm using NAK with 2 kiddos. The girls are doing really well. We had their 2 month check up today. It was a little late as they are 10 weeks. The doc had to cancel their appointment earlier and today was the only time they could fit us back in. Arya is now 8 lbs 12 oz and Eiley is 9 lbs 1 oz. Each has a tiny bit of Tort (tightening of the neck). I have an exercise to do with them a few times a day to help that. Hopefully I caught it early enough that we don't end up in PT. Neither is too tight right now and they just tend to look to the right, their head isn't tilted yet. Eiley's head is a bit long and narrow from being breech the whole pregnancy and up in my ribs for a long time. The doc thought that it would round itself out by 4 months. If not, she may need a helmet in the future. It's not horrible, but since they are identical, you can tell it's different.

They keep me super busy since they don't like to sleep on their own in the day. They usually give me a max of 10 minutes when I put them down. I do everything in a few minute shifts, but it's amazing how fast I am at doing things now. They both scream a lot during the day too. I'm just so happy to have them that it doesn't bother me. They're starting to chill out some and will spend a few minutes in their play area without screaming. They will also stop crying some times when I talk really quietly to them. It's a great trick! They like to leave their daddy messages at work when they are at full volume

This is the 2 of them at 2 months. Arya is on the left, Eiley on the right. We have so many matching clothes from other people. We didn't buy any because we were forewarned that that's about all we'd get. Other twin moms were right about that.

I can't wait for all of your BFPs so I can follow you through your pregnancy and meet your new LO.

I'm soo glad that you wrote that Lynda, I worry about posting sometimes. It's hard to walk away from everyone that I have spent a year and a half getting to know.

SavaAngel · #5 October 22nd, 2009, 04:18 PM

I love Grad Posts too! Please do check in here or the Subforum anytime! We miss you all - I have been here a year and a half too and if you don't update here I must go search out DDC's in order to stalk you!

Amanda - how is your pregnancy going? Are they still checking your beta's?

Soape · #6 October 22nd, 2009, 08:38 PM

They checked it last week and it was 5530 which was about 2500 more than it was supposed to be!!! I got worried because my progesterone levels had dropped 20 points but I went in on Monday of this week and they did an early sono to help ease my mind and the baby had a heartbeat!!! I'm soooooo glad. This is farther than the last pregnancy. We go back on Wed for our official "First OB" sono and visit. I will be 7 weeks. I feel very pregnant!!! I'm nauseated and gagging all the time. My breast are becoming larger, which is a perk because I've never been that large chested. And I'm tired all the time. All of these things I'm super happy about and have sworen that I will NEVER complain abou them. I still have my freak out moments all the time and I try to stay super busy so that I don't have time to think about it. The Dr has said that he will help me to stay reassured. Thank you for making that blinkie for me, and for all the continued support.

I love Grad updates! You spend so much time getting to know someone while TTC and then once they get their BFP, it seems like they disappear! Don't be strangers ladies! We miss you guys tons!!!

MommaLee · #8 October 23rd, 2009, 08:04 AM

I'm glad you posted this too because I'm sometimes hesistant to post! I ditto Amanda....it's hard not to come and at least lurk.

~April04~ · #9 October 23rd, 2009, 12:10 PM

I still lurk this board frequently as well - I love keeping up with my "girls".

Here's a quick update:

I'm 27 weeks today - so officially in the 3rd trimester now! Savannah is doing great - she's quite the night owl! The other day I had hot cocoa w/ fluff on top and she went nuts in there for like 10 mins straight - it's such an awesome feeling! I don't have sugar very often so it must have been a shock to her... I feel great - I actually enjoy being pregnant the majority of the time and whenever I feel uncomfortable I just think how blessed I am to finally be pregnant.

My 3D u/s is next Saturday (31st) and my baby shower is the following weekend (Nov 7th).

~*Jackie*~ · #10 October 23rd, 2009, 12:21 PM

Congrats on the third trimester, April!

Christine-MA · #13 October 24th, 2009, 08:44 AM

I love checking in on all the ladies that I spent so much time getting to know. And I'm obviously glad we're all still welcome here.

I am 31 weeks today and doing great. Unfortunately my laptop died, but I'd love to come to chat when we get it working again (or I can steal DHs). My shower is a week from tomorrow (Nov 1) and I can't wait!

Both of you ladies look fabulous! I hope I look half as cute with a big ole bump!

downunderchick · #19 October 25th, 2009, 04:14 AM

I too often lurk here but hardly post as Im always unsure wether I should. Bella is doing great shes such a monkey. Lots of smiles and baby talk now, I love it. I had surgery the other week as I developed an abcess (sp?) from a blocked milk duct from breastfeeding. thats currently healing. Although dont let that put anyone off b/feeding, its totally worth it!

I am stalking you all and really looking forward to your BFPs!!

Hopingfor1soon · #20 October 25th, 2009, 01:25 PM

Ah thanks for posting everyone! I love all the updates!! It seems like just yesterday that ALL of you got your BFPs!!! Crazy!! Hopefully we will all be joining you soon!
