Yes i moved myself to the pregnancy board (oh it took effort i tell you!) so we shall continue things here.
One thing i am quite scared about is going to carols by candlelight on sunday. i have to go because i am the soloist for a number of songs, but i am very nervous about the crowds reaction. it is in my town so most of the people know me. i guess there's not much i can do but stand my ground. there's no way i can disguise the fact that i am pregnant...i'm as big as a house. people keep asking me if i'm going to have a xmas baby!!
i have a couple of names...i really like the name isaiah..it's really nice and strong and i also like joseph..or elijah..(lol bible names)or theodore and for the little baby girl my bf really likes Marie or Mia and i like them but i really like the names isabella or thea or gabriella...at the moment. it's really hard picking names! because you really want them to mean something and be different, but you also want them to be able to fit in! hard stuff!
i was so excited when i found out i was having a boy and a girl...(i was quite keen for two girls...but this is even better). how lucky!
erm...i've been cooking lots today, getting ready for xmas, it's going to be a big year cos i have to do my family, and then the bfs family...next years going to be even weirder.
well i am 23 weeks today i think it is....how scary.
let me know what you think of the names! everyone!!! honestly
lots of love, sarah

I think all the names you listed are beautiful. It is tough picking out names....but you've got lots of time yet.
Congrats on your solos! You must have a beautiful voice! Don't worry about what people think. Just sing from your heart and ignore them. Even though it would be nice, theirs is not the approval that is important.
Has your doctor taken you off bedrest that you're able to be up and doing all these things? Make sure you're taking care of yourself and those precious little babies. That's the most important thing right now and you're the only one who can do it. You're such a strong woman. You are doing so well....I'm proud of you!
I was wondering about the bedrest thing myself. Wink
I do like the names you picked out. It is hard to find the perfect name - and you have to pick 2! LOL. I lke Isaiah...that is a very cool name. I like Isabella the most out of the girl names. I think you could do Isabella Marie to make BF happy. Razz When I thought of names, I wanted a cute baby name, but I tried to pick a name that would fit as she got older and grew up. My DD's name is Evelyn, and we call her Evie (that's with an "eh" sound - not an "eee" sound).
Good luck singing the solo! I hope you can breathe deep enough. Razz I remember being pregnant I was always out of breath...lol. Don't worry about what people think. I'd imagine that everyone will think it's cool you're still strong enough to stand up there and sing to God. Wink

Christmas was a special time for me when I was pregnant with my last son. I remember feeling awestruck when he would move and I would feel the joy that I imagine that Mary must have felt...Also the anticipation and fear...Singing the carols and hyms made me feel closer to my baby and to God. Hope your Christmas is a happy one.
Hey Sarah, can you send me an email at choicetolivewith@comcast.net - there's something I want to ask you.
Yes i'm quite excited about the solos, and i do get a little breathless...but if i stand up straight enough and support myself it's alright.
I'm not on bedrest anymore...that was for the first trimester mainly and then up to about 18 weeks. i am taking it easy for sure (not willing to risk a single thing!) but it was sooo depressing not being able to go to church mainly. it was horrible. i'm glad i can do some things now.
i'm so glad that i am singing christmas carols because i can defiantely sing wholly to God and become unconcerned with whats going on around me. i am also the singer in our church band and that is my favourite thing to do in the whole world. worshipping is a completely out of body experience and i just wish everyone in the world could feel it.
lol anyway dont want to freak people out.
i really like the name isabella marie. it's really pretty Very Happy i'll be telling the bf about that one.
he has been sooo excited recently. he's been wanting to go shopping and get all the stuff, but i've been a little superstitious about it really. and i know that once we get all the stuff i'll want to look at it every day. and i still need to work out living arrangements and where the babies fit in! didn't want to crush his feelings though. so we went and bought a few basics.
i really really want to breast feed. i am very eager to learn, but i am constantly being plagued with unfortunate stories, which is not entirely optomistic. scary prospect (failing)
rose gave me her two baby capsules the other day which is excellent (she doesn't need them..all her girls are toddlers now) i tried to give her some money, but she wouldn't take it! frustrating1 i know she wants to be a good friend, but i dont want to feel like a charity case as horrible as that sounds.
anyway i think i've said enough for today. i have a bit of a cold (in the middle of summer!!) and it's driving me insane!
Well it was a bit of a hard day today for some reason.
I was stuck at my house (we live in the real sticks) and mom had the car so i couldn't get out and my cell phone wasn't working so i went for a bit of a walk but it's super hot here so i got back inside quickly.
i dunno, i didn't have much to do. so i wrote down a list of things i'm going to need and made a budget and then looked at more names. Will is still dead keen on Marie (he wants it as a namesake for his sister who died before he was born) and i like it, but i dont know if i like it enough to call my child it. We'll see. I went through a bit of a stage of liking both Samson and Saul, but i dont really like the people that they are in the bible. That kind of stuff matters to me.
I have gained about 16 pounds so far Shocked very very shocked. and appalled i might add! lol. oh well, let go sarah!
i decorated my room with christmas lights and things today! it was so fun! haha now i really am rambling.
my ob told me today that he doubts i'll be able to have a natural birth soblue and i was devastated. i know i shouldn't have built myself up to it, but i really really wanted it to be as natural as possible. now he's saying i might even have too have a c-section.
i called Will and had a bit of a sob to him. he was lovely comfort very comforting. i love him muchly Embarassed
then when mom got home i quickly drove to roses house (she lives jsut in town) and we played with charlie and then had a talk. It was good, cos i haven't talked to her for a while without her son there (his daddy came and got him and they went for a walk) You just dont realise how much attention the little ones need! HE's gorgeous, but the second you look away he starts cryin or something! But i feel really lucky that i get to spend time with the little man to prepare me for motherhood. perhaps it wont be such a shock for me then.
well this has mostly been pointless stuff, so if you have read this far THANK YOU!!!
Sarah I don't really have much to say because I just read your posts. I love the name Elijah. That's my new nephew's name. I am having one baby~We are not sure if it is a boy or a girl but for a girl it is going to be Grace Elizabeth Rose~And if it is a boy it is going to be We are hoping for a girl~Bryan Micheal Gabriel~Sorry about that We just really want a girl but who knows I could be having one of each. I love the name Isabella Marie. It is so pretty. I know your BF Wants to name the girl Marie but keep telling him it can be a middle name so you both get what you want.
Anyways Good Luck
Wendy
Sarah, how did I miss your posts? LOL. I'm sorry...you must've thought we were ignoring you. Confused I know what you're saying about singing at church. I love it too, although I wouldn't dare subject anyone to hearing me sing up front. Razz
Okay, so who is the downer about breastfeeding? I have a success story. Smile If you want to talk about all the joy of breastfeeding, there's a forum here just for that. So go post if you have questions. Smile
What's a baby capsule? lol...we don't have that in the States unless I'm just slow to catch on. Wink
It sounds like you like biblical names for a boy. What happened to Isaiah? You don't like that anymore? How about Noah? There's a little boy at my church by the name of Gideon. Razz
16 pounds is nothing to worry about my dear. You're having twins remember! I know it isn't fun to get bigger, but it is normal. I don't know much about natural vs. C-section deliveries with twins, but we have a few women here that have had twins. Any thoughts ladies? Why did he say that you couldn't do it vaginally?
Charlie's just over 1, right? That's prime time for seperation anxiety. That's why he's fussy. That goes away thankfully. Wink
My initial thought is that maybe you're body is just too tiny to deliver babies naturally? You've said you are little....I would never have that problem...lol. My other thought is that maybe your ob is just preparing you for that since delivering twins vaginally is not as common as a c-section, given that the babies don't always cooperate position wise. If they're not positioned right it is quite a risk to try to deliver them vaginally, so maybe they don't want to take that risk. With my twins, the girl was head down, coming first, so she was good, but my boy was sideways on top of her. So my ob said I could deliver her and see what happened with the boy, that I might have to have a c-section anyway. As it turned out his head dropped when she came out so I was able to deliver them both vaginally. There could be a number of reasons. If you don't want to have a c-section I'd ask about the possibility of trying to deliver and find out the reasoning behind why he/she thinks it's not a good idea.
As far as breastfeeding....I've heard of a few success stories with twins, but it didn't work for me. I just didn't make enough milk for both of them and one ended up back in the hospital because she was dehydrated. It's scary at 4 days old to watch your baby hooked up to all those needles and machines. But that's just me, like I said I've heard of people who it worked for. It's just a lot of work with two. For the little time I did it I felt like I was feeding ALL THE TIME! But if you want to try it I say go for it. You can always stop if it doesn't work, but you can't start later if you don't from the beginning.
Gosh! It's been a long time since i have posted! Darn internet hasn't been working! angryfire made me very annoyed and a little bit bored too!
Hmm now to catch you all up...
Hello there Wendy! When are you due? It's so exciting being pregnant! I still really like the name Isabella Marie...Darling Will is still stuck on Marie, but you know Wink i'll bring him around...perusasion is the key.
HAHA Rose! i kinda thought you were ignoring me...but i told myself you were busy i think lol.
My friend rose has been really helpful with the breastfeeding because she loved it (charlie only weaned himself last month) but other people i've talked to have been like it's too hard, our baby lost so much weight, it's painful, your husband can't help you...i dont know. it's scary.
lol good old aussies to confuse everything. a capsule it like a car seat but for young babies. they are in there until about 6 months then they go to a seat usually.
I still really like Isaiah! But Will doesn't really. Noah is nice....i might try that one on him tonight!
with the natural birth issue....many reasons. firsty because i am too small. he doubts that even if i was having a "singleton" i would be able to deliver naturally. and then there in the fact that i have rhuematoid athritis in my hips and that the babies would probably put to much pressure on them. i also have a pronounced heart murmur that could lead to irregular heart palpatations if put under a large amount of strain...eg childbirth. and then there's just the fact that i'm having twins and i'm 16. i want to deliver naturally, but i can certainly see the risk in not having a c-section.
I've been to church a lot lately...we are having lots of services and inviting the community in to enjoy it. which they are!.
i am now...25 weeks and it's getting very squeezy in there! they beat each other up! ah yes, sibling rivalry lol!
well i have to go! but more news later!
Hi there Smile Merry Christmas!
Breastfeeding - Yes, it can be hard...and yes, it can hurt for awhile...and yes, your husband/BF can't help you. LOL. But there are many more advantages to it. Wink The difficulty and the pain (if you have any) usually come to an end a few weeks into nursing. Just tell yourself "Just make it to 2 weeks, and if I hate it, I can stop." I had a hard time getting the latch down properly, and so my nipple got infected and bled and HURT! It just took a little help from someone who knew what they were doing, and things were fine from then on. It can be hard to not be able to let someone help you. I wanted DH to help once in awhile in the beginning, but as we got better at it, it was something I thought was really cool that only I could do. Evie never lost weight. I take that back...my milk didn't come in for 5 l-o-n-g days, and during that time, she lost a few ounces, but once my milk came in, she more then made up for it. I did do formula feedings sporadically during that time using the "finger-drip" method to avoid nipple confusion and dehydration...and to stave off the hunger. It worked well, but that first week was h*ll.
It sounds like you have some pretty serious reasons to avoid vaginal delivery. Perhaps you could ask about just trying for awhile, but trust your doctor. Wink
Hello Sarah,
I have read through all of your posts, may I just say that you are VERY mature for your age. When you first started writing you were very scared, but now you are okay and happy with everything that is going on. I am so HAPPY you are having a boy and a girl. I like the names you have thought about. I hope you can have the babies the safest way for you and them. C-Sections do sound scarey, but it is worth every minute of it. Especially if the babs come out healthy, and you recover okay. ( I can only say this b/c I have had two myself. ) I am glad you are thinking about maybe breastfeeding. It is a lot of work, but well worth it in the end. Well I just thought I would post you something to let you know I am pleased with your decision. I can wait til they get here. TTYL Breanna
Merry Christmas and Happy new year All! I have been busy...sorry. I had 3 c-sections and I personally wouldnt have it any other way. don't get me wrong, mine were all medically necessary. I am just glad that I didnt have to labor and push. The meds are the best thing since high school (only legal). The recovery is not as bad as some people make it out to be. Less bleeding cuz they suction most of it out during the surgery, mild incisional pain but not too bad. And the bonus, your stuff stays where its supposed to be...if you know what i mean Wink Hope this gives you some warm and fuzzys about the possibility of c-section. Even the scar is barely noticeable after a while. Luv, Christine
Hello all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!
very exciting...a new year.
26 weeks pregnant now!!!!! it's getting really exiciting.
i'm as big as a house and can only get bigger. very few stratch marks yet (phew) hoping to steer clear of them although i'm not particularly fussed.
christmas was really really nice. i went to a service on christmas eve and then in the morning and another one at night. and spent the day with my family and wills family. christmas has a different meaning (mroe so) when ur a mommy. and i got lots of things for the babies!!!!!!!!! very very good. altough will and i still haven't fully discussed the living arrangements yet and i think that it needs to happen very soon!
new years was fun. will and i went down to glenelg (it's like a HUGE beach side city thingy) and there were about 200 000 ppl there and fireworks and stuff but we had to go home just after 12 cos i couldn't stand up anymore.
and it was soooooooooooo hot here like 40 degrees which is about....105 is ur degrees i think. and my legs swell and get sore. but yes it was still nice. so different to wat all my friends were doing!
well i have another assessment about what sort of birth to anticipate on thursday so yeah. i'm not going to be that upset if i have to have a c-section, it just seems scary i think, but quite honestly i want what's best for my babies.
Wow - 105 degrees! The summer I was pregnant with the twins it was in the 90's and I thought that was unbearable. I can imagine getting sore and swollen legs!
Glad to hear your holidays were nice.
I thought I was doing pretty good with stretch marks with the twins until I went for an ultrasound one day and the tech said "Wow, you're getting quite a road map down there!" I, of course, couldn't see it because it was on the underside of my belly, but I was so disappointed because I thought I had been doing so well. And it's not a pretty sight after the babies are born, so I will hope that you don't get them.
Thanks for the update, again, I continue to keep you in my prayers. Good luck to you and keep updating. I love to hear from you.
Stretch marks aren't pretty...I doubt you'll avoid them entirely, but you never know. Smile So what kinds of things have you gotten for the babies so far? What are the possible living situations that you can foresee?
::::: Bellyrubs ::::::
Hello there!
i've been rubbing special creams into my tummy to try and avoid stretchmarks....who knows how much good they'll really do me yet....
lol i've been making Will check the places where i can't see and rubbing cream into the places i can't reach. I told him it was our means of intimacy seeing as i have taken a vow of purity and told him i would not sleep with him again until we were married. It was very exciting and our relationship is working so much better now that sex isn't in the way!
I definately want to live with Will so that he will be a definate part of the everyday life of the babies and so he wont miss out on anything (good or bad!), but i would feel awkward living with his parents and he said he would feel awkward living with me and mom, but we can't afford to move out of home and i dont really want to anyway. i still need my mom to help me.
i dont know! i guess i'll jsut keep thinking. plus i want to go back school next year. i mean this year...or maybe next year. we'll see.
I would think that if anyone is moving in with anyone, it should be him moving in with you...like you said, you're going to need your mom. Even if you don't make an official plan for this, it might just end up happening that way anyway.
It's been a really horrible week. Which is so sad after things were going so well.
Will and his mates went out for a joy ride in their new car and some IDIOT (sorry) ran a red light... soblue wills best friend died instantly (he was a close friend of mine too) and Will is in a medically induced coma until they know what to do next.
It's jsut horrible. If Will dies i dont know what to do. My life is jsut messed up enough. I just keep praying and praying[-o< and i hope that god sees that i need will.
exactly 3 months until my due date today....oh everything is so painful.
please keep will in your prayers
im so scared spooked
things like this make you realise how much you love a person
am Pray like Will's life depends on it. I am so sorry to hear of this unfortunate turn of events...Life is short, never to be taken for granted. Please let us know if there is anything we can do...Stay strong sweetie, your faith will see you through this...Remember, God sees the bigger picture and even if His answer turns out to be not the one you want, He is in control. He will watch over you and your babies.
(((HUGS))) Oh, honey. Crying or Very sad I'm so sorry. It is so hard to understand when things like this happen. I don't even know what else to say right now because I'm so shocked. I'll just say that you will be in my prayers constantly. Let us know how he and you are doing.
I just dont know what to do with myself. I keep sort of running around the house folding the babies things and cleaning and trying not to FREAK OUT, but i just can't seem to stop! And i'm stressed out because i'm not supposed to be stressing! I can't lose my babies and Will. i Just can't!!!!!!
I keep feeling a twinge in my belly so i'm going to go to the hospital now and admit myself. probably should go to the psyc unit, but whatever.
ok thanks guys
Oh ((((((Sarah))))))) I'm so sorry honey. What a shock! I'm glad you're going to go get checked out...it's probably just a lot of stress giving you some BH contractions, but it's good to be safe.
Please post when you can with an update, and we'll keep Will in our prayers. That's the best thing you can do right now for him...just pray for everything - strength for you, health for the babies, health for Will, etc.
((((Hugs)))))
Hey ladies, this message wont be long because i'm very tired (a week of bedrest and i'm exhausted ?) but i just wanted to let you know i'm home and things seem to be looking up (thank you jesus!) Pray
Will has no brain damage and will be able to walk within the next 3 or so weeks...so relieving. They nearly delivered the babies, but things improved and they are to be left in me! yay! at least until the next scare, at which they said they will have to take them out...i'm over 28 weeks now...
Will is devastated that his friend noah died...he suggested that we name the baby after him and i think that's a lovely idea so he will be Noah James Isaih Jackson and she will be Isabella Rose Marie Jackson! very exciting.
ok off to bed now!
p.s. i felt so honoured that you all kept me in your thoughts and prayers. i am positive it's what pulled all four of us through!
Thanks be to God for his mercy! I am so happy for you and Will. My condolences about his loss...Do take care of yourself and those babies. (((hugs from Hawaii)))
God truly answered our prayers for you and Will and the babies! I'm so thankful! Both of you take care of yourselves now so that when those babies do come (could be soon sounds like) you are healthy and able to care for them. Keep us updated, we'll continue to keep you all in our prayers.
sarah,
Wow I have missed alot since I was last on. What a rollercoaster ride you have been on.
I am glad things are looking up and that Will has a good outlook for recovery.
I hope you can keep those babies in you as long as possible.
God is a God who answers prayers. And I am sure He was carrying you through this the whole time.
I don't know what else to say since I have missed so much b/c of computer (lets say oppurtunities)
YAY! woohoo
I am so happy to hear that you, babies, and Will are all safe! Praise God for answered prayers. Very Happy
Please update when you can hon. I love your names, and I'm partial to the "Rose" part. lol
I remember when I was on bedrest I was always tired...it just sucks the life right out of you. Rest up now though...it won't be long!
Hello Ladies.
30 weeks and feeling enormous!
Will is at home now and is slowly recovering. He has physio 2-3 times a week and is quite incapable but i feel just so blessed that he is alive and that his health is improving so rapidly. He also feels incredibly blessed to have me and the babies now...so all in all, this experience has taught us a lot about life and love.
It's so hot here at the moment i just have to dink constantly and my feel are so swollen and i have to pee all the time...but i can't get up without help so i have to call out for someone and by the time someone is there my bladder hurts so much....It's getting tricky now...but i am scared for my babies. I know they're not ready but i am. I am constantly have b/h and my breasts have been leaking colustrum. I'm almost expecting a show any day now.
We have everything ready now pretty much. I have decided to go ahead with breast feeding...although if they are born early i will be having to express...this doesn't bother me too mcuh.
erm what else....i'll probably be heading back to school in june/july....that way i'll be able to finsih year 12 by the end of the year and then take a year off before uni.
Well...thank you all again so much for your advice and prayers and help....i have felt so thankful throughout the whole experience..and i know it's not over yet...but i feel things are about to get busy!
Much love and God bless you all, Sarah Maryland
Hi Sarah,
I'm so glad Will is doing okay. It will probably be a long, trying time before he's 100%, but it sounds like he will be fine. Isn't is interesting how God makes us realize what's important to us? Sometimes I wish he didn't have to be so drastic, but apparently that's what we need.
It does sound like you're probably getting close to delivering those babies! Although it's hard, try to be patient, take it easy, get as much rest as you can....you won't get much once they're here! It is best for the babies to stay in there as long as possible. The longer they do, the more likely it is that you'll be able to take them home without an extended hospital stay, which is not fun, and can be expensive!
Do keep us posted, I'm getting anxious for you! You'll be in my prayers.
Hi hon Smile I remember that I felt enormous after 30 weeks - I can't imagine being with twins! Eeek!
I'm so glad that Will is recovering. He will continue to be in my prayers.
Do you have someone to help you with breastfeeding? A lactation consultant? Etc? It's a wonderful thing, but you'll need some help and support.
I'm getting excited for you!!! Hang in there hon. I know it's uncomfortable, but it is short-lived. ((((Hugs))))
Hey guys!...
Computor has NOT been workin. Not making me happy i tell you!
Well i am 33 weeks now and all hope of seeing my toes again has gone. I have forgotten what my legs look like. Noah and Isabella have been fighting each other for room! It's crazy that they can move in there seriously!
If i have been sitting down for a while and then i stand up, the skin on my stomach is so tight i get scared it's going to split! My OB has said that if i haven't gone into labour by 35-36 weeks, he'll be inducing me as my body is just going nuts. But the whole thing has been REALLY enjoyable and i wouldn't change the experience for the world.
I seriously can't comprehend how you can love something so much before you've even met them. They are my LIFE.
Will is getting better at a rapid rate. His walking is very slow and he has physio every day, but he's so determined to be "up and running" for the babies birth.
I am so excited about the birth...really nervous but meeting my babies? Oh, so excited!
I had my baby shower Very Happy It was so good! I have EVERYTHING now.
All my friends came which was soooo nice and my church bought us a beautiful stroller (or pram or push chair or whatever you call it!)
The hospital i'm going to be in is LOVELY! It's a private one and i have a really nice room, and the birthing suite is just stunning, more like a hotel room than anything else.
well i best be off to get my sleep! (i sleep all the time, it's all i ever do)
Hi Sarah,
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear Will's doing better. Glad to hear you're still holding those babies in! I'm getting so excited for you I can hardly stand it!!!! Any day now, huh? Please, please let us know (when you're up to it, of course) when they arrive and how things went. I can't wait!!! I'm glad to hear you had a great shower and have everything you'll need. It's so hard to prepare for what you are about to have to do. Get as much rest as you can.
I'll be praying for a healthy delivery and happy, healthy babies! You're having a c-section, right?
Hi Sarah,
I'm gald to hear from you again! 33 weeks was about when I started feeling too big...lol. With twins it must be a whole lot harder! It sounds like you had a great shower! It's so much fun looking through it all and setting it up.
You'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Post as often as you can to give us updates!
Hello Everyone! Feeling quite sick after Valentines day! Will and i spoilt each other, and i am full of delicious chocolate...in moderation of course.
Noah and Bella are doing well...still managing to get a kick in there everynow and then, but it is quite the tight squeeze now....Noah seems to have his foot permenantly lodged in my bladder which is proving to be QUITE uncomfortable!
Will STILL gets a bit freaked out when you can SEE a foot poke out! My linea nigra is so dark, it looks like a hairy snail trail.....!
I'm so forgetful....like i forgot what i was even talking about then, and i'm tired and i have heart burn....and my feet dont fit in my shoes anymore.....All those things. My Doc says congrats on making it this far and has booked me in for a caesarean on the 27th of Feb.
I have NO clothes left that fit me....maternity clothes lie...they stop fitting after a certain stage....and bed (Which used to be my favourite place eevr!) is no longer comfortable!
I completely forgot to say!!!!! My sister had her baby!! On the 26th of JAnuary (which is Australia day). IT's a boy and they called him Evan William which is nice. My sister is completely wrapped in him and so am i! He's beautiful! Makes me want mine more!
Well i thnik that's it.....
much love to you all from a very pregnant sarah!
Hi Sarah!
I know what you mean about the maternity clothes. I had the same problem. I actually went to buy really huge women's clothes because the maternity ones were too small. Crazy that you can buy bigger clothes in normal size than you can maternity??!!
Congratulations to your sister, too!
You are doing so good! It's awesome that you've been able to hang in there for so long. You're almost done! What is that, 2 weeks? You can do it! Have you tried sleeping with one of those big long body pillows? That's what helped me. I slept with it tucked under one side of me so it lifted me off my back a little bit. I know, sleeping is the absolute worst at this point. Try to get as much as you can, though, because soon you'll have other schedules to work around!
You're in my prayers. Keep us posted. I'll be watching for your news!
Wow! you sure are brave, i would probably have to shoot myself if i had twins LOL Laughing I don't have that kind of patience. I wish you and Will all the best and congrats to your sister as well! Try to get as much rest as you can. I know this sounds hokey but if you have a large bathtub, fill er up and soak! i fell asleep many times in my tub. your belly keeps you bouyant so no worries of drowning. the water supports the weight of the babies. TTyl
Hi Sarah,
Boy do you ever bring back the memoris for me. I remember with my twins that rolling over in bed took several minutes and then a cramp would set in half way around and so then I would have to stop for another minute. And oh boy the heart burn. I thought I had a little inferno inside me going all the time. I drank water constantly to try and put it out. My twins are identical boys and they are now 11 and a half. They help eachother with homework and study with each other and usually get along very well. You have so much ahead of you. Some will be hard, but all wonderful things don't come peacably. I hope you will continue to talk about how you are doing for awhile afterwards. We would love to support you when you are having a bad day and we would love to rejoice with you when you experience all the wonderful firsts.
Take all the advantages in the hospital that you can, because when you leave it's all your babies Razz . So get your sleep, eat your food hot, and watch the nurses change the diapers Very Happy
We are all so very excited for you and wish you the very best. Will seems to be doing well too and for that we are thankful as I'm sure you are too.
Noah and Bella...such beautiful names. Smile
The 27th is right around the corner! Does it seem farrrrr away though? Or does it seem too soon? I remember that my appointment would never ever ever come...lol. I was on bedrest and very uncomfortable. I can't imagine being pregnant with twins on bedrest. Not talking Eek!
(((Hugs))) You're in my thoughts and prayers hon!
Hey guys...Leading a very relaxed, horizontal time at the present moment. I cants get myself out of bed really anymore, i am so incredibly big. and plusd my legs have been aching so much i couldn't do it anymore.
My Mommy made Noah and Isabella big quilts with their names embroidered on there...they are so pretty! I cried when she gave them to me! Everything us so close now...My caesarean is booked for a week away today and i am SO scared. I'll be awake for it which is good in a way, because i want to hold them right away...but at the same time it's a really scary thought being awake for quite major surgery. They will most likely have to be in neonatal observations for a week, my OB says, unless we are really lucky.
Erm...Wil moved in with mom and i. It just seemed easier in the end. He wants to be with his babies all the time and i want him here to help and stuff so it was a logical move.
I'm SOOOOOO excited i can't sleep and i really need to! I think this week is going to go really really really slowly.
Hi Sarah, Glad to hear you're still hanging in there! One more week! You can do it! How nice that you can have Will with you all the time. That will be a big help when the babies come. I didn't have a c-section, so I don't know anything about them, maybe the other ladies do. Best of luck! You'll be in my prayers. Let us know when Noah and Isabella make their appearance!
Oh my goodness! It's so close now!!! woohoo I know the C-section sounds scary, but you won't feel anything but some tugging. Labor isn't all it's cracked up to be. Razz
I'm glad Will is so eager to help and be involved. I am so excited!!!
Hi hon, just a couple of days now huh? I will pray for ya. C-sections are for sure the way to go. I never had any problem with it and I have had 3 of them. You just have to give yoursself a few days before trying to be wonder woman. The pain meds are really cool Wink so you really dont feel much after the fact. The worst part about recovery was the itching while the scar healed/removal of the staples. The incision site can be sensitive for several months. Other than that, it should be ok. Best wishes to you and Will. How is he doing btw?
OH MY GOODNESS.
I am just so scared. Seriously i have never been so nervous in my life. I keep thinking STUPID things like-what if noah and belle dont like me? What if something goes wrong? What if, what if, what if. But i can't stop them...it's only 3 days to go.
Will is being VERY encouraging and lovely, but im just getting annoyed at him and then i feel bad, but he jsut has NO idea how i feel right now. Throughout the whole pregnancy i have been very calm and collected but now i'm just freaking out. I just pray constantly all day, in between folding and unfolding and washing and looking at my babies clothes. It's jsut scary. I'm not evern seventeen yet. gosh. It hasn't occurred to me how young i am the whole time...
Will is not much older than me either and i feel like i'm ruining his life...i dont want him to feel tied down by this situation...i dont...i want these babies more than anything and he SEEMS the same, but i couldn't be sure.....
Did anyone else freak out 3 days before they were due? Or am i just weird?
It's normal to freak out. You are facing a huge challenge and you have more courage than so many others. My advice. Have Will shave your legs (great exercise in trust Wink ) before you go to the hospital, paint your nails, take a long hot bath...after the c-section you wont be able to for a few days. Enjoy the sleep you can get... just relax. everything will be fine. Your babies will love you and Will. Pamper eachother and remember that when the babies are here and you are sleep deprived, smelly, and ready to throw in the towel, you will still have eachother. depend on eachother, and on God. He will see you through. (((big hugs)))
Tomorrow's the big day! Yes, it's totally normal to have those feelings, even to be irritated with Will. Christine gave you some great suggestions, maybe it's too late now. I'll be praying for all 4 of you!
