Hey Hollie - I know what you mean about the registry! DH and I tried to do it at the store and just got overwhelmed. Instead I just registered online at BRU and Target...MUCH easier...I can just sit on the couch (which I'm getting really good at) and just pick the stuff I like. DH doesn't get to be involved...but that can be a good thing...lol...especially when he still thinks we are having boys!!

Megan - Yuck for more bedrest... But I'm glad the babies are doing well.

Kristen - I thought about doing it online, but I wanted to make sure the stuff was in the store. I ended up going home and changing and adding some things though. Our BRU had low inventory and some empty shelves from Ike I guess. Are you on bedrest?

LOL couch rest. That's what I do in the evenings. That's great that you can still work from home so you have something to do.

Look at that cute belly!!! I think I'm your size and I'm six weeks behind you!!!

I went to the Peri today and lost another lb...so total net gain since the BFP is only 3 lbs...I can't figure out where I'm losing the rest of it from because my stomach is HUGE...probably out of my boobs. LOL. Oh well, I'm ok if it's all in the belly...that much easier to lose it later, right???

Oh and DH went with me and got his proof that they were two little girls...he's starting to accept it now I think...LOL.

Well Kristen you do have two babies! I would expect you to grow faster and get bigger. But that is odd about your weight. As long as you are eating and the dr says it's ok, then you should be ok. LOL about your DH. He needs to just accept it! But I can relate. It took me a minute to accept having a boy.

Hello everyone! I had a quick question for all of you that have completed the study. My usual appointments only took about 15 minutes or so. About how long did your last appointment last? Did the exit paperwork take very long to fill out? The reason I'm asking is that I have my first OB appt. that day too and I accidentally scheduled them kind of close together. RE at 9:45 and OB at 11:00. I don't know what I was thinking. Help!

I hope it works out....

I went on Monday (yesterday).

I saw the nurse and then was put in the room to wait for Dr. Sims.

Dr. Sims and the nurse came in and did the ultrasound. He began to do more measurements and then the nurse reminded him that I not in the study.

Then I had to go to the conference room and wait for Dr. Schnell. ALMOST 2 HOURS later she came in and spent 3 minutes with me!!!

Another 2 weeks on Bedrest!!!!

I do get to do little things like...

go to the grocery store and ride the cart
go to the MOM meeting
go to play Bunko
drop my daughter off at events

NO WORK!!!

Twins are great!!!

Baby A - 174 - 11w5d
Baby B - 165 - 11w3d

The clot is smaller and starting to break down. No cerclage at the moment, so they can let the clot continue to come out!

Megan - You might want to push your OB appt back...there is no telling how long it might take with Dr. Schnell so it might go faster or not (are you going to CORM...I forget).

Megan (roo) - Yeah for no work! LOL! Don't worry...I ride around on the little cart at the grocery store too!! Glad the babies are doing well!!!

Megan - You might want to move your OB appt back. I seem to remember being there for longer than an hour, but I can't remember how long. I stuck around and asked lots of questions to the nurse practitioner too. You could make your OB appt another day if possible. Two in a row might be a little too much dr.

Martieroo - Glad to hear you are doing well. I couldn't get on the forum yesterday! I hope the clot goes away and you can do a little more activity. Enjoy riding around at the grocery store.

I'm doing pretty good. Just growing and stretching. I get tired and sore by about 3:00 every day. My legs and arms are super crampy, like they are on fire. And this little guy is a serious mover!
