Due anytime Summer 2012

Hi ladies.  I know it's kind of early for me, being only 7wks 5days along, to start this, but I wanted to start sharing this journey with others due around the same time as me.

I know many of us (me included) are afraid to put ourselves out there this early, afraid that something might go wrong, but I have known so many of you for you long, that I just couldn't wait any longer to start sharing experiences with you.  I have never been this far along in a pregnancy, and am so sure I am going to have tons of questions.

I am expecting twins, and am still in shock! :)  We have a due date of Aug 9th, but It will probably be more like July 26th, due to it being twins
I feel pretty good most of the time,  but if I don't eat every 2-3 hrs, the babies let me know it!

Just wondering how everyone else is feeling, and wondering if anyone else has questions we can help each other with....

Hugs!!!

Hi Ladies

Sorry i have been MIA for a while. I have missed alot but am happy to hear everyone is doing well. MVH so happy your little one is teething, and juana - --- i have missed you!! good luck with your surgery, hope all goes well.

As for me and the babies, last week we spent 7 days at the childrens hospital because yazan had appendicitis!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was shocked and even the doctors said he is the youngest patient they have heard of to have appendicitis. So he was opperated on on the 23rd of jan and spent 7 days there. After surgery his canula ( IV drip) kept on tissuing and was inaffective and so he needed another one. One doctor after another tried to put in a new one. I think 5 doctors tried and all faied. All this time yazan is screaming inconsolably from the pain and discomfort, untill i asked for a senior doctor or someone who knew what he was doing to come and put one in. in the end a doctor from ICU came and put the IV drip in successfully - thank god. Now my poor baby has bruises all over his hands,, arms and feet from all the tries and misses. :( Im so sad for my boy as this is his third serious hospital visit, he likes to gives us a heart attack each time. After we got home, my little girl yara got sick with an inflammed throat and a stuffy nose and she refused to drink milk for THREE days!!!!!!! i took her to the ED and they said as long as she is taking a bit of water and solids then she should be ok. So thankfully now she is drinking a bit of milk again.
Im so stressed out and under alot of pressure. Im going back to work this monday and feel like a bad mother leaving my babies in day care when they are not 100% and need me the most, i dont know what to do. I hope they are fully recovered by monday and adapt to the day care really well.

other the that yara really likes her solids, her veggies in particular and grapes and nectarines whereas yazan is not into much solids since his surgery :( im working on that.

hope everyone is doing well. xoxo

Thanks a lot!
Wow, your babies are so far ahead... Jacob is smart but very stubborn when it comes to stuff he doesn't like. He still hates his tummy time - I do it a few times every day and he will use every opportunity to turn on his back... In order to have him stay on the stomach I need to hold him very strong and then he starts screaming, then he arches his back and gets on his knees ( like cats do). How are your twins with tummy time?
About the teething: he's back to fussy and hungry again... I guess that the tablets stopped working. I think I will give the teething necklace another try - I have ordered another one from Amazon; that one will be without rough edges and each bead tied off separately. I hate when he doesn't eat - it's 6 pm and he only had 13 oz so far and didn't want any veggies. I am thinking about going to his pediatrician before my surgery and having him checked... xoxo

Good luck with your surgery.

Glad you found something to help Jacobs teething.  I bet that makes you feel better! :). And him!

Also, glad to hear he likes his veggies :).
I have the twins on stage 2 food now....I haven't found any food they have snubbed yet :)

Has anyone stated trying sippy cups yet?  I give the twins theirs occasionally, with 75% water and 25% apple juice...they are not close to mastering them yet, but it sure is cute to watch them try :) Cami enjoys the taste it seems too :). When we help her use it...lol...
