I'm not doing so hot emotionally. My anxiety is really eating away at me. I went from thinking it was twins because of the high hcg to being convinced that it is molar. My ultrasound Monday can not get here fast enough! Jeff is anxious too and he is the calm one, so it is really taking its toll on all of us. I hate that we have become so pessimistic, but I'm still not convinced that this is going to happen. I was feeling good about it before, but I still have so much doubt. I am almost 8 weeks now. I feel like I have aged so much over the past 4 years from worry.
I am really hoping you have a happy, wonderful appointment on Monday, that eases some anxiety. Thinking about you Carey!

I've been thinking about you! You guys have been through so much! I know how it is to become pessimistic. I'm 38 weeks now, and am still not convinced I'm coming home with a baby some days. Just try to enjoy every day that you are pregnant. I hope Monday comes quickly (I never thought I'd say that!!), and that you guys have a great ultrasound that will put you at ease. Don't be afraid to ask your doctor for extra monitoring either if it will help your anxiety. I think the only reason I was able to make it through this pregnancy was because of my extra monitoring from being high risk. I was seeing him every two weeks, and even seeing him that frequently, there were still times I was really freaked out. Hugs lady!
33 weeks. I'm still feeling pretty decent, although yesterday and today my belly has felt super tight all the time. I wake up every time I roll over at night which feels like a million times a night. I'm getting tired of only being able to sleep on my side because I can't get comfortable anymore. I only have a month to get things ready for maternity leave and that is starting to sink in. We're still waiting on paint and carpet for the baby's room. I need to make a list of new things I need for baby. I also need to submit my paperwork for leave. Ok now I'm just rambling.
I am 37 weeks tomorrow. Headed to my weekly appointment right now. I have to have the gbs swab, yay. I've been having an increase in Braxton hicks and I still have a cold. RLP is way worse this time too, it woke me up last night and I couldn't sleep. Just like a lot of you my baby is super low! When I sit my belly touches my legs and driving is pretty uncomfortable . I have hardly had any rib kicks!
My CS is march 13th, two weeks from tomorrow! I'm getting everything wrapped up at work. His nursery won't be done in time but all his stuff will be prepared. I'm so excited to meet him and he's officially Luke now, with Bennett as the mn. Lily has been making up songs for him daily. Last night her song was about how "I love you just the way you are, I'll never leave you". It's the best. She makes them up unprompted, I can't wait to see them together.
38 weeks here. I'm just generally uncomfortable. I have swollen feet and a ton of vag pressure. My doctor offered to induce me at 39 weeks, and I'm thinking about it. We'll see how the next week goes. TMI - but I also now have constipation issues. It's the worst. I am now taking Miralax once a day, but it's not doing much. I eat a ton of fruit, veggies, and drink lots of water, but nothing is happening. On top of that, I have heartburn almost all the time now, and I am one unhappy pregnant lady. I know it will all be over soon, but this stage is so unpleasant.
I'm 34 weeks. Umm, okay. I feel like I'm super pregnant. So I have all the pains and always out of breath, no energy stuff. I'm still nauseated and a ton of heartburn, but I'm keeping food down. I started taking weight gaining shakes daily and I'm starting to gain weight again, so my OB is happy with that progress.
I'm not doing so hot emotionally. My anxiety is really eating away at me. I went from thinking it was twins because of the high hcg to being convinced that it is molar.

What were your numbers and how far along were you? Thinking of you always - good luck on Monday!

My draw was at 46 days (6 weeks 4 days) and it was 142,665

I am 23 weeks, turn 24 weeks on Sat. I feel like I'm already waddling and I have so much time to go. I commiserate with other ladies that the first time "seemed so easy" but this time is miserable. I have bad carpal tunnel this time and my hands all the way to my elbows fall asleep every stinking night. I have heart burn in the evening and generally feel really big. I think I look so big this time around (I also am heavier in general than last time, my bad!) We are officially having a GIRL! So it's sisters for us! We are so excited and S was so happy. We just need to pick a name which will be the death of me. It's coming down to a poll at this point, we'll see, lol.

I am 27 weeks right now. I am huge. HUGE. I am making my peace with it. Dr. says I won't be scheduled for a RCS until my 38th week, which means the second week of May. I do not know where these babies will fit by then. I already feel like my maternity pants are tight on my belly and my shirts are inching their way up.
Other than this, I feel ok. I am tired but that is to be expected I think. I am sleeping well for now <knock on wood>. My sisters and mom decided to throw me another baby shower since it is twins. I am kinda embarrassed but super excited to see some people I haven't seen in a while.
I have been buying things like a crazy lady and I *think* I finally have most of what we will need for the first few months. I am still looking for a "coming home" outfit for the girls and haven't found anything that I seriously LOVE yet.
How are you guys doing? 33 weeks and baby scored well at the BPP ultrasound today, measuring right on track, my GD isn't effecting the baby yet
Anything you want to share? 6 weeks to go- they will induce in my 39th week H's mom is coming out for a week in mid March to help me get baby stuff ready since I've been too sick to do it. H and I are going away overnight on Saturday and I'm really looking forward to relaxing and the date night. Especially for him, he really needs a break lately. Next weekend we are taking Luke for his big brother/birthday weekend to great wolf lodge- I'm really excited to focus on him and spoil him a bit
Anything you want to complain about? I feel like all I do is complain. This pregnancy has been so tough for me physically and emotionally draining. In addition to the hyperemesis, sciatica, SI pain, etc then the Gestational Diabetes (which is responding ok to the insulin injections) this cough/virus/asthma issue has been going on 6 weeks. Yesterday I dislodged a rib coughing and it was the worst pain of my life. They were able to get it back in place but now I'm on a nebulizer and vicodin and need to see a pulmonologist but they cant get me in for 2 weeks. I hate exposing the baby to so many meds but I have no choice. Hopefully the nebulizer is the answer (since the antibiotics and prednisone did nothing) and I will be breathing well soon. I'm mentally and physically drained. Working half time but even that sometimes is a lot.
6 weeks is so close yet so far. I think it'll go by fast!

Oh geez, I hope you manage to have a relaxing weekend and get GREAT news Monday - my thoughts will be with you.

I'm 20 weeks and already shared the news about my anatomy scan. We are so excited it's a boy and that everything looks good!
I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still waiting for the exhaustion to let up and I fear it never will. Feeling lots of movement!
My bp has been okay so far and no proteinuria, I hope it stays that way.
People keep saying that a second pregnancy goes by faster but that's not the case for me! Time is really dragging. Probably because this winter has been so rough. I feel like I'm just sitting here gestating and waiting for the spring. I'm sure the second half will go by faster. At least I hope so!
jg183, this baby had better treat you like a queen every day of your life. I keep wishing for you to catch a break, and then something else hits. You're almost there.
another fun thing my group of friends doesn't do baby showers or sprinkles for #2 but we try to do a girls brunch to just celebrate the mom and baby (no gifts, usually just split mom's meal type thing). My bff just sent out the invite for the 22nd so that's exciting too!
So many of our friends had #2 recently or are currently pregnant so it's been an exciting time.

Huge hugs careyalis. I will be praying for positive news on Monday.
I'll be 6 weeks on Saturday. I'm starting to get some headaches and some late afternoon neausea. I found out that my sister is pregnant too! Our due dates are three days apart. It would be so fun to have cousins that close together, but I'm hesitant to get too excited because of the mc. I'll feel better after the ultrasound on March 13.
