Jan/Feb 2011 Mommies (Nov & Dec 2010 early babes)

Morning ladies,

Thanks for all the well wishes and thoughts of the tweenies. I'm not getting too stressed just yet, will wait and see what the next appointment brings in 2 weeks time.

I'm not worried if they are different birth weights, i always figured tweenie2 would be a bit smaller, I'm more concerned that IF the placentas have joined and it is TTTS (twin to twin transfusion syndrome) that they will have to be born early in order to keep them both alive and that's what scares me, the thought of having such prem babies. But we should be able to tell better come the next appointment if there is no change in the growth difference.

And after everything i flippin forgot to ask for my AntiD injection script so HAVE to remember next time or it'll be too late. Because I am A- and DH is O+ i need the shot in case of a bleed, otherwise my body will build up antibodies against the RH+ and if one of the babies is RH+ it will see it as a foreign object.

I'm going to change my preggy vits from the Pregnavit M to the Preg Omega for this month, not sure if the preg omega is any better but it certainly has a heftier price tag so i hope it is.

My Dr is just concerned enough to keep it in our thoughts but if he was really soooo concerned he would've bought me back in a weeks time not 2 and i trust him totally which is a huge relief.

But also he's going on leave from 12th Dec when i will be 36w eeeekkkk so i will probably have these babies around then because i don't want ANYONE else to deliver my babies. Kinda selfish but again it's a trust thing and i trust him with my life and those of my children too. Last time i had a few health issues that he was able to overcome without adding extra stress to me or DH and i just don't feel anyone else will handle it quite as well.

Kimika- you are a doll! thanks so much for offering to bake C's cake, i did however attempt to bake the cake double checking on it and the stove a million times LOL

Girls, i don't want you all to have to drive all the way over to Benoni! you can all meet up so long, i will just have to see if i can make it. But that doesn't mean you are not welcome here, my friends are always welcome to come to my house anytime, just like you say, take me as i come because i don't have a maid.

Maryke- how are you feeling? did you say if you're now home permanently or still finishing off a bit of work?

Chris- thanks xxx

MommyN- sjoe, definately feeling you on the tiredness sister! but i suppose that comes with having a toddler too hey?

My DH was very good to me last night, i was in immense pain in the ribs, the back and lower abdomen, i could barely walk so i went to bed and he gave my back a little rub and wow i feel 100 times better this morning!

HI vix, i went for my scan today as well our weights are 1.1 each for 29 weeks, doc says that's perfect for there age I was also worried they only picked up 100g each in 3 weeks, but doc says it's all fine I think there weight gain slows down by know cause the space is getting limited pls don't stress sounds right

Chan, your little man is just perfect!

Vix, be strong girl, my dr told me that from 28w, when babies are about a kg each, they are viable, so as long as they are both over a kilo, i dont think you should stress too much, and its not a HUGE difference, I mean at 28w they are both over 1kg, the dr's had also said to me that the babies sizes will vary and I too have such a feeling that our little boy is going to be so much smaller than the girls, he already was at last scan, your babies will be monitored over the next few weeks so I dont think you need to put yourself into a stress ball, you need to be strong for them (and C), its a good thing they are both over a kg, remember that! Did Dr seem very concerned about it?

Also remember that you are not far from the finish line, many twins are not born same size, there isn't even 200g difference with yours, some twins are born at like 2.7 and 2.3 for example.

(((((Hugs)))))

Vix, thats fine if you dont feel up to Wednesday.. its a long drive for you Cant we arrange something closer to you or even at your house .. we dont mind if you stay in your pjs and we will bring snacks dont even pack away the ironing or sweep the floor.. we all know the feeling!!

And let me know if I can bake you something for your little man.. poor thing hurting himself Ill do anytime for you xxx Where do you stay?

Chan - the 4D pics are stunning, Kade is gorgeous.

Vix - I'm sure you Dr would have told you if it's anything to worry about. Tweenie 2 will catch up, he will have good birth size and weight. Positive thoughts and affirmations. Hope you managed to bake the cake, after C's fall.

MommyN - hope you get some rest, enjoy the party.

Hi gals

Vix- take it easy hey! Try not to stress about the tweenies - am sure that they are doing well and just growing at their own pace - they say not to compare babies, siblings and I guess that applies to twins too! Not much comfort I know, but try to relax, and if need be, rather go for regular check-ups. Hope the weekend goes better and hope you are feeling better too! You must be so tired, I know how I feel. You think you are ok one minute and then you are just exhausted. You have been doing a lot lately, time to start taking it easy! One day at a time, and then each hour at a time! Sending you love and light!

Chan - awesome pics! Wow, its amazing. You'll look back at these in a few months when Kade is in your arms, and its even more amazing! He is gorgeous!

Hope every one else is good.

I cant remember what else is happening - memory is failing me and I am pooped this afternoon. My Mom was here for 2 days, and although she is a great help and gives me a breather with Missy, I am always tired when she goes!

I have a 4 year olds birthday party tomorrow at Rietvlei dam sailing club - so no peace for me - will be running after Missy all day! Just have to be so careful with the water!

Enjoy the weekend everyone, and for those shopping, arranging and organising things, good luck and enjoy. And remember to take it easy everyone!

Kimika- i might be bailing on wednesday, will see how i feel after the weekend but i am now waking up with this rib pain and just driving to the Dr today killed me. we will see.
