LOL...I don't watch soaps anymore (although I am naming one of my daughters after Kayla from Days of Our Lives...LMAO!). I did miss chatting with jencat and dude on skype though .

How are you feeling? I hope you are feeling better!!!

[jencat215]

Yay Kate and (disgusting) Dude!!!!!

Kristen-awesome news on the quad screen

Barbara-love your ticker! Congrats!

Bethany-hope that placenta moves up.

Got home from a marathon shopping trip. Okay, it wasn't marathon from the old days, but was for my sorry tired arse. I hurt all over. I can't believe that the most comfy jeans I found were from Old Navy. I generally don't like that store. But they were comfy and half the price of the ugly ones at The Gap.

Going to a warm water exercise class tonight. I love being weightless!

[Kathelen]

Feeling much better today. I had some salad with chicken and am currently sipping a sprite. I want to go for a walk too (I feel much better when I move then when I lie there), but unfortunately it is 101 degrees here so I will wait till later.

Kate - Just take it easy and dont even think about doing any marathons. I hope you feel better.

Jencat - I am so jealous, I looked in to it as well. I have to get permission from DR first. I have to go all the way to NYC to take it ( uuugghh) But I so want to do the class. I cant find anyone closer. Its called Aquamom.
So I hope he says Yes because I really want to go, its starts in Oct. Keep me posted let me know how you liked it. Is it worth it? oh yeah where the pants maternity pants you bought? I went to motherhood today and I am so funny the woman asked me if she can help me " i said yes, I would like to see soft clothes only" I dont like stiff maternity clothes.

Kristen - I am doing well, usual first trimester ms. ( Liquid aversion still) I cant wait for it to be over with.
The dr yesterday said originally he thought they were mono/mono what you described but yesterday he is pretty sure there is a membrane. Thank God.
But Peri will confirm that on tuesday. Babies are developing equally and hb the same too.
How are your girls doing? What week did you find out that you were having girls?

Bethany - wow I wish I was you 30 weeks, thats great. I hope the placenta moves away from the cervix

Sarah - I hope you hear some good news real soon.

Patricia - I hope you are feeling better. Yesterday I made 18 cupcakes..Yummy I was so happy

HI Jana - Tam - Leanne - Amy - sorry if I missed anyone I am preg. you remember. ) no memory.

Ouch!!!!! Are you gonna have your twins introduce you as their eunich father? hehehhehe Congrats on the number! (Kate gets that credit!)

[jencat215]

Barbara-well unfortunately tonight's class was a bust. Yesterday the warm pool got too cold, so they cranked the heat, but no one turned it down! So this am it was at 97, and by the time my class started it was 94. Okay to float in, but too warm to work up in. You really want to keep your core temp at body temp, so if the pool is already too warm, and you work out too hard your core temp will go up. But it should be cooler tomorrow so if I can get up early, I will go. If not, then Friday. It really is relaxing. And unless you are on bedrest, I can't imagine your Dr. saying no.

As for the pants, the 2 pair I got were from Old Navy. Generally I don't like that store. I find most of their tops too flimsy and light weight. But the jeans were not only the best value (out of ON, The Gap, and Mimi Maternity), but they were the most comfortable and IMO, the best looking. I thought the ones at Mimi were uncomfortable and ugly. And at the gap, ugly and way over priced. The other pair of pants were just soft material, more like yoga material, but hang down more like pants. No pockets. Very comfy. I hate that stiff material stuff too. I won't buy it. I did get a dress (yep, Jen got a dress and I don't normally wear dresses). It is that stretchy/soft material. Very comfy. I also got a sweater (cotton) at Mimi. I think Mimi's prices on their regular clothes are ridiculous. If I had a job where I had to look professional, well maybe. But scientists can wear pretty much what we want. No one cares. So why not be comfy and spend less?

Barbara - I hope your doctor was wrong and that they are mono/di! It will mean less complications for you down the road. Of course, identicals still have other issues that most twin pregnancies don't have to deal with and if your peri is good, he/she will really keep a close eye on you!! My girls are doing great so far! My next appt is the same as yours! I found out at my 14 week visit that we were having girls and I really wasn't expecting to know that soon. You might be able to find out at your appointment on Tuesday though!

Jen - I want to sit in a warm pool!!! I can't even sit in a warm bath!!!! Sniff...Sniff...I'll live vicariously through you!

Patricia - you doing ok on bedrest??

Janice - you doing ok on bedrest??

Megan - you doing ok on bedrest??

Did I forget any other bedrest mom's?? LOL...

Hi Jana, Jamie, Kate, Dude, Tam, Bethany, Sarah!!!

[bq122]

ONCE AGAIN, I wake up to red in the bathroom, no pain or cramping...UUgghh its just so fustrating. Seen Dr again, everything is fine. It happens, they have no clue where it is coming from. Bedrest until I see the peri on tuesday. I am already doing nothing. I cant see not doing anything less. I would be sleeping or dead. I only breathe, bathroom and eat something. That is basically the extent of my day. I do take 10 mins in the morning & in the afternoon to pick up/drop off dd. I dont even get out of the car.
I totally kind of lead a stressfree life. UUGGHHH.

I guess I will see what the peri. says.

Jencat- My class is only one day a week for an hr. The water is supposedly always the right temp for the preg. woman. Thats what I really liked. I cant stand going into cold pools. I guess hot is no good either.

Kristen - I am hoping the peri can answer all these bleeding questions I'll only be 13 weeks by the time I go for my first visit so I guess Ill have to wait for the next time I go. I cant wait to find out. ( of course I dont care I just want to start buying clothes, and things. Thats the second question people always ask too.

Hellooooooo?

Nothing new to report here. Kate still has the indigestion thing that ranges from mild to not-so-mild, and we have an appt. w/ a GP on Monday to have her checked out, just in case it's not just pregnancy related.

[sarah16]

Sounds good. I'll bet it is a pregnancy thing though. That's the only time I had indigestion.

hope she feels better. I've had indigestion since my bfp tums and pepcid are the only things that help

Kate - I hope you feel better. I hate indigestion I usually get it in the later months. One good thing about c-section one month earlier that means one month less of Heart burn.

[historyteach]

kate - i hope that you feel better soon

barbara - good luck on your u/s, i wish i knew what all the different stuff meant with the identrical twins, but it don't so please know that you and your little ones are in my thoughts and prayers.

patricia - are you still hanging in there? are things still going ok? thinking abou tyou

nothing new here, taking my last BCP tonight, although ihave had breakthrough bleeding for the past three days... oh the things i 'love' about being a woman.

i hope that everyone is having a great weekend

[tamtam]

Hi all, I don't want to miss anyone but wanted to say that you all are missed by me. I have a wicked migraine and sinus headache, but will catch up later

for now;

congrats on the good #s kate and dude
barb- I hope the peri figures everything out
bedrest moms--hang in there hope you are well
history teach--cathy--nice to see u

[Passionscientist]

It's funny how FAST and BIG you get when on bed rest!! Good grief!!! I'm afraid to know how big I'm going to be when I'm not even halfway there yet!!!
