OK ladies, I think we have skipped a few weeks! Let's see/hear those updates. Prego ladies - how are you feeling? Post a belly pic or pics of your nursery!! Mommies - how old are your LO's now? Anything new going on? Post pics!!!!

[LindsLuvsSi]

Zane is 7 months, crawling like a pro, pulling up on everything nad he has 2 bottom teeth in finally (teething was pure he**, OMG i never knew it would be so bad and he'd be so fussy, warning you mama's now what it could be like, hopefully it won't, cause it's not fun, I feel so bad for the lil guy) He still doesn't go to bed easily, takes about 1-2 hours to get him to bed, he sometimes wakes up an hour later and then it takes another 2 hours to get him down, he wakes up every 2-4 hours, has yet to sleep through the night. So it's been hard lately, I've been so tired, trying to keep up with my lil monster who gets into everything and then with all the hard time getting him to sleep and his fussiness from teething. I cannot wait for him to sleep better/easier! (new pic in siggie )

[Jeb-O]

He is FREAKING CUTE, Linds!!! I just love him!

Well, as for us we're doing pretty well. The boys will be one on the 9th of September and I cannot believe how quickly this year flew by! Their first birthday party is next Saturday and I am planning a big celebration for them. (Safari themed) I will post pictures as soon as the party happens. Grey still doesn't have any teeth, but I swear that kid has been "teething" since he was 3 months old so maybe he'll just get a mouthful all at once? Rett has his two front bottom teeth, but I don't see or feel anymore at the moment. Neither are walking but they are crawling little monsters! Into everything and more! And yes, twins do go opposite directions.

[KCMomma]

OMG Lindsey he is just adorable!!! And thanks for the warning about teething...although I'm not sure it could get much worse!

As for us, Paige will be 12 weeks this Wednesday and honestly things are still pretty rough around our household. The colic and acid reflux are still kicking our butts and I just feel so bad for the little girl. We are now on to our third different medicine for the reflux and are totally praying it works. Or we are praying this colic subsides soon!!! Now to top things off, I believe she is starting to teeth! Is this possible to be teething this early? She drools a lot and then I rubbed my finger across the top of her gums and I think I can feel something! I also started back to work so that has been a little stressful, but I am managing. It's nice to be back at work but I do miss my little girl! As for the breastfeeding, Paige has decided she no longer wants to latch so I've been exclusively pumping for a few weeks now and my supply is definitely dwindling. I've come to terms with it so I'm just gonna pump as long as I can - supplement and then switch to formula when needed. It does suck and I wish I could continue, but I'm just trying to do what is best for my entire family. Anyway, other than that she is just the cutest ever and growing everday. Not sure how much she weighs now but we have switched to size 1 diapers but she is still in newborn size clothes!! Here are a couple recent pics:

[Jessy133]

All of them are sooo beautiful!!!! Its so true how fast the time has gone!

Well as for me, I just got back from the weekend in Key West. I told DH that I wanted to get away before I got big...which im really not! Its funny cuz I dont look pregnant with twins! The babies are hopefully doing good after this weekend. I wore my support belt and walked around and def. had pains, but I tried to take care of myself and both doctors gave me the OK to go.

I drove back home today because I noticed I get car sick when im not driving and as I was driving, I felt this huge kick! I was like OMG! Ive felt them "flutter" around and stuff but this was like a full blow kick! It was sooo cool! I think it was Kavin cuz I felt it on the top part of my belly.

Other than that, everything is pretty much the same, I will be 18 wks on wed. and I have a Peri appt on friday for a cervical check. On another positive note my sex drive is thru the roof! LOL...I wonder how long that will last, but I know DH isnt complaining

I hope that in the next peri appts they dont see the thing in Amaya's heart but all I can do is just pray and wait.

Hope everyone has a good week!!!

xoxoxo

I'm not too exciting in my reports yet! My U/S is Tuesday to see if my lil one's heart is still beating after the bleeding.... I really dont know what to think as far as whether things are okay or not. I have my hopes up since the bleeding is mostly gone (there will be a couple of spots on the tp throughout the day but thats it and its usually brown) and i never cramped, but i'm terrified that am thinking things are okay then ill find out they arent

Symptom wise i dont have much, pimples, got a tiny bit nausious last night for the first time, and my boobs are huge! Ugh.

[Jodi0804]

Things here are going well. Had my 2nd week back at work last week and students were there so I was drained by the end of the week. Needless to say I am counting the weeks until Thanksgiving! I've been feeling well and can't believe the 3rd trimester is so close now. I have my GD test next week and start my 2 week appts then, time is flying. Here is a 26 week belly picture (I'm really starting to pop now) with my kitty Tiko.

[SassyMama]

Siera is 6 months old and is just too active for her own good. Which is funny, because she can't crawl yet. She can creep and managed to creep herself right off my bed when I thought she was asleep even though she was surrounded by pillows and comforters (luckily, she landed on a pillow!). She's eating like a little piggie - her favorites are rice and apple cereal, squash, applesauce, and carrots. She eats anything I give her, though - even the nasty-looking green beans and peas Oh, and she's definitely teething! It hurts when I stick my finger in her mouth and her top gums are whiter than the bottom ones which is weird because I thought babies get their bottom teeth first..? Leave it to my kid to be backwards..

Here she is @ exactly 6 months (with DH)

i love reading these!

well ive had both my baby showers now. my last one was yesterday and it was great. we had a nice turnout and got some great stuff and i think everyone had a good time! baby is still moving a ton! today i have been having pretty bad pains off and on. i think it may be gas. i kept having to stop while we were grocery shopping. im getting a lot of comments about being ready to pop.

my next appt is this thursday and i am getting another ultrasound because doc says i am measuring big so they want to check out the baby, hey im not complaining! i cant wait to see her again! i will start going weekly after this appoinment.

next weekend we are goin to try and get the rest of the shopping done and since we are off both off next monday we are organizing! i cant wait til it all comes together!

well here is a pic of all the lout from my showers


and here is me today at 35 weeks

[xanada101]

Kerrigan is now 10 weeks old today. She is 13 lbs and we're already having to upgrade to size 2 diapers. Things are going pretty well.... she is still having alot of issues with gas and I have no idea what else to do. I too was thinking that Kerrigan was starting to teeth, but now I am thinking more that she has just discovered her tongue and saliva as she LOVES to blow bubbles and she's starting to blow rasberries. She is currently asleep in her crib. It usually doesn't last long, but it's getting easier to put her down now that she is taking a pacifier. I cannot believe the difference in this little girl with just offering her that darn thing. Now if we could only get her gas under control. BTW.... she absolutely hates tummy time. She hates being on her belly.
My horrible news..... I have to throw away the majority of the breast milk that I have stashed in the freezer. The reason being.... despite my best cleaning efforts, I found small specks of mold in the breast pump. I had tried to get those little yellow thingies to come off (the part where the milk actually drips into the bottle) but they didn't seem to come off.... so I tried my best to clean them without taking them off. Well it turns out that it is just REALLY difficult to pop them off, but they DO come off. It REALLY sucks that I have to do this and start over. Ugh... 3 months worth of pumped milk.
Here are some pics, I can't find my camera at the moment to share the most recent ones.

[Christine-MA]

I'll have nursery pics to share, hopefully by the end of the week! We put up the chair rail this weekend, we have picked up the glider/ottoman, and tonight we're picking up the crib and dresser! I can't wait!

I am 23 weeks. I haven't uploaded my belly pic yet from this weekend, but I'll do that. I finished registering too, which was fun. I know I'll still edit it a little though

All the updates are great!

[Celry]

The girls are both nursing well, but are comfort nursers. I went on strike last night and didn't breastfeed them. They spend hours at night comfort nursing and it's so frustrating. They fall asleep on the boob and wake within 10 minutes of being put back in their crib. They don't always take a pacifier and aren't good at keeping it in when they do. They'd rather just nurse hours on end. They both got to breast feed around 10:00 pm and then again around 6;00 am. I pumped all night and gave them bottles instead. Feedings were much shorter and they went right back to sleep. No 3 hour waking spells. I feel awesome today because of it. I may make that our standard nightly routine.

We have our weekly weigh in today. I'm thinking it'll be the last with the way they've both been eating.

[Micksbabe]

I love updates!!! Everyone sounds like they are doing pretty well. Lindsay I am so sorry about Zane still keeping you up at night Hopefully it will get better!!

I am 24 weeks today I just went to calgary and got a 3D ultrasound done on Saturday and it was awesome, they do a live broadcast so our families got to watch it from home !!!

Here is a belly picture (it is from last week 23 weeks)


and here is a picture of my BABY GIRL !!!!


Everyone thinks she looks like me Dh is like lets wait until she comes out and then we can see who she looks like!!!

[amazing_love]

I love everyone's updates!

I'm 6 weeks today and happy that all seems well so far. I'm just waiting for my first real appointment (Sept 24) to see for sure that baby is healthy. My biggest symptom is exhaustion. The other symptoms come and go.

Here's my most recent belly pic. Nothing to see yet except bloat:

[~* Liss *~]

Love seeing the updates...

I don't have any pics of my belly yet - but I'm officially 4weeks 1 day today!! YIPEE!!
As I've updated in my other post, I've had my betas drawn and they were 81 of 8/27 and 275 on 8/29. I've had a bit of brown spotting since before my BFP. Also have a bit of cramping off and on.

Here's my BFP progression
10DPO


11DPO


14DPO (last night)

[courtneytcu98]

We are still chugging right along! Life is really good around here! Elliott is still really skinny, yet may eat us out of house and home. Seriously. He ate 5 ounces of food tonight at dinner followed by breastfeeding. We joke that he has a hollow leg. He is sitting up independently, but requires someone else sitting him up first. He has started commando crawling and is generally a complete ray of sunshine. He sleeps through the night (for the last 3-4 weeks), which feels marvelous for mommy and now puts himself to sleep by 'talking' to his animals.

[fromustobaby]

Got our nuchal scan last week, fluid was low, there was a nasal bone, everything looked great - will get a callback within two weeks about the blood work results...

Am in my second trimester and I'm thrilled, this baby has been so sweet to me, except for one day feeling nauseous, I've felt great!!

Also, heard baby on the doppler for the second time last night and had a strong H/B of 160 - YEAH!

So in love

[MarinaAndCharlie'sMommy]

Not much going on here. I'm 11weeks 5 days and getting close to the 2nd trimester. My next appointment is Sept. 15th and I'm hoping we hear the hb on the doppler.

[downunderchick]

lovin the updates girls.
Well Bella is an absolute monkey. Like your girls Val Im sure she comfort feeds. when she finaly does go to sleep she is still havin long periods of sleep 4-7 hours long usually. we are working on timings and what time we wake her in the early evening so she goes down at a decent hour at night, instead of 2am!

Steve went back to work today he has holiday he can use still if he needs to. Ivegot millions t sort out. Its now less than 3months till we need to be out of here. We are currently applying for Bellas Oz citizenship and I need to phone up today about getting forms for her Oz passport.

My section scar is doing ok. well i dont think its infected anymore, it just needs to heal, which i think is going to be a VERY slow process, im going to have a massive ugly scar.

My mum was over for a few wks and stayed with us for a few dys last week. She flys back on Thursday, she really enjoyed being with Bella and my dad is so excited to meet her in November! Um thats it really, I know I should be trying to have some breakfast while shes asleep but instead Im sitting on here. lol

Modelling a dress thats still too big for her!

[Lauren S]

Brady is 6 weeks old today. I'm pretty sure he's broken 8 pounds now as he's gotten a little roll on his thighs and chubbier cheeks. So cute! He's much more alert and really looks at you when you talk to him. I think smiling is just around the corner because a couple of times I thought I saw the beginning of one. I can't wait for that!

I'm still feeling totally sleep deprived. He is up every 2-2.5 hours in the night. By the time I feed him, change him, burp him, and get him back to sleep, it takes about an hour. Last night he was up a couple of times after only being back to sleep for an hour! I cannot function on that little sleep. I was kind of in a bad mood this morning because of it.

I'm thinking about leaving and running a few errands this afternoon. I have never left him with DH, but I just pumped so he should be good to go for a few hours. I think mommy deserves a couple hours out!

Here's some recent pictures.

Looking totally relaxed while napping on an auntie


His newborn clothes are getting too short!


This is why everyone calls him "Big Eyes!"
