Drama Drama I hope all is gone.

When I last blogged with you guys I was having alot of problems.

Twisted ovary
Bleeding (3 months)
Confined to the bed
Constipation
Heart Palpatations
Shortness of Breath
you name it!


Well the twins are still with me thank god! I've been hospitalize several times within the last months for:
Shortness of breath
Heart Palatations
Fainting
Low blood pressure

I found out I am an animic, the babies are pressing on a neve that runs up my back and cuts off circulation to the brain.... crazy huh!!!!


Well with ALL the early problems DH and I decided to have an Amino done just in case something was wrong we would have no HUGH surprises...... With gods blessing both BOYS are just fine .

We went through this whole process for my DH to have a bio daughter..... and we end up with two more boys...... LIFE IS FUNNY! We now have, if all goes well, 5 boys and one girl.

I am now 25 weeks I go to the Specialist every other week and the Reg Dr. once a month. (but he does NOTHING) The babies are going to be big like the other (I think) Others were btw 6 premmie - 9lbs. I am 6ft and DH is 6'3".

I know every pregancy is DIFFERENT but this is sort of crazy!!! Twins are much harder than I EVER COULD have thought!!!! I have SOOOOO much respect for mother of multiples you have no idea. Kate of (John and Kate plus 8 is a god to me now) every time i move I feel like my hip bone and pelvic bone is crushing together.

The other day I was in Costco, just strolling through the isles and i fainted with my other kids in tow..... I woke up my 14 year old was crying and the manager was fanning me...and i had an audience OMG SOOOOO EMBARRASSING ...... when I got a grip the manager saw I was stressed from the people and started asking them to move on....... then EMS came I didn't want to go..... but my blood pressure was low so they kind of pushed the issue.

Hubby came I have two cart full of junk!!!! THIS WAS TRULLY THE DAY FROM HELL!!! LOL


I have to laugh to keep from crying because it is all too much for any ONE person. I am turly blessed because I have a great support system. My DD was surposed to be in Italy this summer and she saw how bad I have been so she didn't want to go. (how sweet)

I am AFRAID to blog, afraid to BUY anything, just taking this week one at a time because I am just praying these two little ones make it.


I have read most of your blogs on health, funny stories, MIL - SIL problems. I feel all of your pain. Oh and I called my IVF DR. back and told her I wanted a refund because I wanted one girl and she gave me two boys....LOL She laughed at me.

I even have a problem of my own other than health ( can you believe it)

Since "I" am going through "it" with these babies I wanted to NAME them what I wanted too..... DH wanted a girl.....(if it was a girl I would have given him the rights) But the fact that they are boys which he is really NOT too EXCITED about, I picked out two names I like but EVERYONE ELSE HATES...... even my mother and aunts..... I mean every one..... they are


Liam and Aidan


I don't want the rhyming twin names and I just love these...... My mom said if someone ask her what the twins names are she will say thing 1 and 2 or just nothing at all.... HOW MEAN~!!!!!!!

Other than health that's the only thing I am letting get under my skin. Everything else rolls off because I have too my issues to worry about peddy stuff.

Guys I want all my Jan / Feb Buddies to know I have read your pain stories and I am praying every night for everyone.....I have also read your blessing and I hope they all keep comming. I just wanted to update my profile and let everyone know I am still scratching to make my two peas grow.

Jessica I am so glad your twinnies are doing well, though it sure seems you have had a rough time of it! Take it easy! No more trips to costco unless you are in a cart and DH is pushing YOU around!

I think Liam and Aidan are lovely (I am particularly partial to Liam...). Everyday your boys get closer to term. Take each one at a time....

[Neta]

In light of it all you still have your sense of humuor good luck and hope everything continues to go well, the 1 with the passing out in Costco... Wow I would have been crying I get embarrassed now when I puke... I boohoo like a baby.... must be the mormones hugs to you....

[missjoli]

What a story! You certainly have been going through it. It's making me a littler nervous. Congrats on the two boys (I'm a little partial myself as I'm also having twin boys)! I'm glad things seem to be settling down, and that you weren't hurt when you fainted at Costco.

[tamarie]

Wow - you have had some drama. I'm glad all is well at this time and your baby boys are ok. Best of luck for an uneventful rest of your pregnancy!!

BTW, my mom (actually my family) doesn't like one of the names we chose for one of our little guys either. At first my feelings were hurt but now I've decided I just don't care. They are our boys, we love their names and that is all that matters!

[frymomma2b]

First I love the names...Liam is my bestfriends sons name..and Aidon is my old lovers sons name loo and they are both great kids and i think their names are sooo cute. I am sorry that everyone is disapointed in the gender but maybe they just need to see it as no one is able to create life but God...I know no matter what they will have lots of love. We were told the first time it was twins and i thought of them in little red suites being thing one and two...lol take it with a grain she is missing out by being a butt lol. Anyway glad to know you are well and hope you health improves and those beautiful boys stay safe. Congrats on making it so far.

[missjoli]

I forgot to add that I really like your names too. My family (and some friends) don't like both of our names either. My mom even said that they would just call Madden by the name Max, because they like the name Max better. I told her that was ridiculous, as that is not his name. I think she thought if she pressured me enough, we'd change the name, but no such luck! Be proud of the names you picked. Besides, who asked for everyone else's opinions anyway? That drives me nuts. People say "do you have names picked out yet?" And when I respond, they want to give their (often) negative opinions. I DIDN'T ASK YOU!!!

[futuremom2b]

I just read your post because it caught my eye, I had a difficult pregnancy as well and I hope that those babies stay nice and warm inside for as long as possible! Can't wait to hear your good news, I will say a prayer for you!

DH WILL be thanking God for his boys as soon as it's football season!!!!

[jrc4you]

Thanks guys for all the well wishes!!!! It has been a time for me.... I went to the specialist yesterday and the boys seems to be doing ok still. (thank god) My mom wants me to come home (Louisiana) and spend two weeks laying around since that's really all i'm doing here. DH is not happy about me leaving and is asking what if something happen.... but I ask the DR. yesterday can I go... he said NOW OR NEVER! So I guess I will go.


Ladies I have a little delma..... this is a very personal matter but I just wanted to get other people point of view to see if my mental state is correct. We have 6 kids now including the twins.... also including my DH's son in Germany who is finishing college this Oct. (so we are finish with him money wise-I hope) The problem is we have 3 more frosties in storage and I am sooooooooo TORN ABOUT TRASHING THEM BUT I AM ALSO TORN ABOUT GIVING THEM AWAY TO STRANGERS. DH KEEP SAYING IT'S UP TO ME BUT I KNOW IN MY HEART THAT 5 AT HOME IS PLENTY....... BUT I KEEP THINKING ABOUT THE LITTLE ONES LEFT BEHIND. I even dream about them. These twins have been soooo hard on me I can't even think of being pregant again with twin 3 would be out of the question..... I am 37 so I am getting older now.... what are you ladies doing....... are you discarding the frosties or are you planning to have them later. MY HEART IS ACHING!! Please just give insite if nothing else. I just want to know what you other ladies are doing......... If all went well we would have 9 kids...... That seem kind of crazy this day and age. We maybe could swing it money wise but I would be insane by the time I am 50 LOL. Then my hubby made the comment ..... maybe his girl is in there. That made me really sad. I'M LOST!

[jrc4you]

Oh and I really do think the names are staying because.... my kids have stop calling them twins and started calling them Liam and Aidan.


I REALLY LIKE THE NAMES!!!!!!!!!!

[tamarie]

Good for you with the names. My 2 SS call their brothers Chase & Gavin all the time, too. I love it that they are already thinking of them.

I also have 2 frosties and no plans to use them. Right now I'm just trying not to think about them until these 2 are here safe and sound. I'm actually leaning towards donating them for research purposes because I prefer that to destroying them or to having children out there that I don't know about. It's a very difficult and personal decision but you have time to figure it out later. Right now, just focus on the 2 little guys you are carrying.

[flamingpajamas]

We have 8 frosties. But this is my first baby and we plan to have at least one more (I doubt more than that). What will we do with the rest? Well we might use them - this IVF went pretty easily but future FETs might not. Research maybe. Donate to another couple? possibly. It would be hard to know that there are children that come from my genes walking around out there and I am not a part of their lives, however I know the pain of infertility and what a wonderful gift that would be!

[flamingpajamas]

Oh I was also talking to someone about saving them for stem cell in case of emergency (instead of cord-blood banking. Does anyone know if this is a possibility?

[fossie]

Jessica - it is really great to hear from you! I can empathize on the twin pregnancy thing although since this is my first pregnancy to make it this far I have nothing to compare to but I definitely think it is a lot, lot tougher than I imagined. I have had my share of problems - kidney stones, almost unbearable rib pain, trouble breathing, sore knees and back, and really all over body soreness - but I don't know if that all is common with every pregnancy or twin pregnancy or what. I am very, very grateful for these two and am so happy that they have stuck with me but if I am being honest I'll be much happier when they are finally here and healthy!

Claudia - I wondered the same thing but do not know. We have two frosties and do not plan to use them either. We are not opposed to having more children but they will have to come naturally from here on out. We were never told there was absolutely no chance to have children on our own and actually got pregnant naturally but miscarried so who knows. Anywho, we, well really just me - my dh would rather donate - don't like the idea of our genetic babies being out there without us knowing about them or caring for them. My dh thinks it is the same as giving a child up for adoption (he is adopted) but I think that it is different because it is my child (really) and I wouldn't be giving them up for adoption, ever. Plus, how much can you really know about the people who will raise them and if that is the home you would want them to be in, etc., etc. I feel like such a hypocrite because we were going to adopt and really wanted mothers to make that decision but I just don't think I can do it no matter how much I know it would help an infertile couple!

[blaze6333]

Well, this is my first child also. I have 5 frosties left, but Dh is sure this is our only child. I am praying he will change his mind once she is here, and will let me have one more. In the FET world, it could take 2 trys or more for it to work. So, in a perfect world, we would try until we have none left getting our second child on the last try.(Like that would ever happen realisticly). So, if we have extras or if we decide not to have another baby, then I am going to donate to a couple or do embryo adoption. I like the idea of donating to someone I can read about and know their background, not so sure of letting the RE pick a couple. I would have to research both areas more, but I know that I could NEVER destroy them.
Good luck with your decision, its a hard one to make!!
