Melissa, your nursery is looking so pretty. Great job!

Tabitha, I hope that the darn back pain doesn't come back and the boppy pillow solves the problem. Please keep us updated. The pain you described sounds like the one I had last week, fortunately, it only lasted for me no more than five minutes.

Shellie, you look great! I swear, my belly has grown so much and now people are asking if I am sure there is only one in my belly That Marley, he is sure a looker!

Laura (hoping4baby), you are an amazing woman with such great faith! Your three little angels will be watching over you. Virtual hugs to you and your family!

Netty, depending on what I wear people will swear to me that I am about to deliver and when I tell them I have at least two months, probably three they are shocked!!! Maybe it is because I am moving very slowly these days because of aches and pains everywhere - mainly my knees!

Marley is a complete ham but I swear we would clone her if we could, she is the best dog ever. I know I won't be saying that when the babies are here because I have a feeling she will be horrible but maybe I will be pleasantly surprised!

Shellie - you look great! And your dog is a cutie, also. Do you think she knows that big changes are about to take place? People think that I am farther along than I am, and I only have one baby.

Hello everyone!! Fossie- you do look great!!! And I have a ham of a pet too, so I know what you mean!

Laura- You and your family are in my prayers.

Well, we have decided on a name finally, our baby girl will be Bailee Grace, although my Dh just finally said "Name her what ever you want" which is what I had planned to do anyway

So I plan on spending the weekend painting the nursery so that we can have a place to put things. My poor little house is becoming quite crowded!

So, for all you Mommies of fur-babies....have you been talking to your pets and telling them about the baby (or babies) that are on their way? I keep telling Jack (our dog) all about Luke. I know he hasn't a clue what I'm talking about, but I'm hoping he'll get used to hearing Luke's name...plus, it makes me feel better. :-)

Christie- Congratulations on deciding on a name! Bailee Grace is adorable!

Christie - I love the name Bailee and I like that our little girls are going to share a middle name.

Laura - I talk to my cat and mention Amara's name all the time. I keep telling her that she has a little sister on the way. Like you I'm hoping that she'll be used to hearing her name. Only time will tell.

I love the name Bailee!

My dog has no clue yet that big changes are on the horizon but it is getting to the point that one of these times when she curls up next to my belly (how she sleeps every night) she is going to get poked and that will be pretty funny. We have been telling her about the babies and using their names although when I am telling my dh something the the girl is doing I will say she... and Marley's ears perk up and she definitely thinks we are talking about her since for the longest time she has been the only she we talk about in the house!!! All of our friends and family know how spoiled Marley is and how much she is just like our child and besides the how are you feeling and how are you going to handle it questions that is the main thing asked is how do you think Marley is going to react!?! I need to go out an purchase a doll to start the training ASAP!!!

Well, I just found out I failed my one hour glucose test. My level was 141 and I go in Wednesday after fasting and carb loading to take the three hour test. I am really upset because I just don't know what this means for the babies and I have no clue what to eat and not eat and I just want everything to work out! Arghhh - I kind of suspected it would not be good because of my PCOS and twins but I was holding out hope that the reason I hadn't heard from them was because the news was good.

Oh Fossie, I am sorry you failed the one hour test. I am dreading taking mine too in a few weeks and suspecting I will fail too due PCOS and insuline resistance.
