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!!!

Doing great here :). The twins are growing like weeds :). It's fun to see how they change from day to day. They both say mamma and dadada and babababa.
Drake has a high pitched squell that can pierce your eardrums, lol.
They sleep great, and both have 2 bottom teeth now. They are really starting to enjoy people food, and are getting good at using their sippy cups :).
They, however, are not crawling yet, which is just fine with me :(.

Anybody there???
I miss you all!!! We are doing great: I am recovering quite quickly after the hip replacement and Jacob is growing and maturing :-)
He's lots of fun and does something new every day.
Today he finally said: momma instead of baba.
It actually sounded more like blah blah mama ;-)
He's 20 pounds and very tall - 28 1/4 inches.
Still a happy baby and sleeps great, but gets very stubborn and LOUD ;-)
How is everybody doing??? xoxoxo

Sorry I have been MIA lately. The 3 kids under 3 is a LOT of work lol.
Hayley I am so sorry to hear how much of a rocky start you have had. Sick little ones is so stressful. I know how hard it must be but you have such a wonderful outlook on things. It will get better and bumps in the road only make you a stronger person. And you are a wonderful mother. It seems like you are holding it together pretty well.
I am glad to hear everyone's exciting news about their babies. Rolling overs and eating schedules. It is so great that they are all growing so well.
My twins are still not loving the tummy time. I have to play it by ear because they still spit up a lot when they are on their tummys. Big sister loves to help them get from their backs to their bellys though. She doesn't understand they need to do it by themselves. She has also developed a little bit of jealousy. So our last few weeks have been a little challenging. She wants all my attention and I try to include her in things I do with the twins but it is very hard. She likes to be a little too rough with them. However, she does love them. She loves to make them laugh, she sings to them and plays with them. It will only get better! They love her too but she is rough when playing with them. I have tried the twins on baby food, Ava will eat absolutely anything you stick in her mouth. Kayli still pushes everything out and has started to refuse to drink all of her milk. Our pediatrician said that they need to have 20-24 ounces of formula/breast milk a day. She is on the lower side of that. I think her reflux is coming back. But who knows. At this point I am pretty much letting them do whatever they want. Just keeping an eye on her to make sure she doesn't get too low.
Anyways, glad everyone is doing well. Here is to our little ones future and their accomplishments.
Hugs and love to all!

Hayley- you and your babies been thru alot I hope things calm down now.
Juana- so glad your surgery went well and wishing you a speedy recovery!
Mhv- aww I bet she looks adorable with teeth! It feels like my boys have been teething forever!! Do your babies roll from back to belly? My boys have been for a while now and in the beginning when they'd roll onto their tummys they'd get mad. But now when they roll they reach for toys and push up onto their hands. They actually like it on their tummies more then their back. Maks looks really cute on his tum, he kicks his legs like he's swimming and Aleks looks like he's doing the worm (break dancing move) lol. Tummy time will get better. I never thought they'd ever like it. Just let them cry on their tummies a bit. Jingle toys in front of them.
As for my boys, they love to roll all over the house! They love being on their tummies and reaching for toys. They love their jumperoos the best! It's so funny as Aleks swings himself in it and Maks jumps up and down. They get so excited when the see that I'm putting them in there. They can sit with assistance, Aleks more then Maks. It is alot of work but our days typically look like this:
Am: bottle
Mid morn: fruit then in the jumperoo
Noon: nap
Mid afternoon: tummy time and play with toys, then bottle
Early eve: veggies, then practicing sitting in their chairs and on the floor, nap
Evening: bottle then jumperoo
9p: bottle and bed.
They are on stage 2 foods and now love everything. Love the variety stage 2 has! Trying to figure out where to fit in another meal.
They still wake at night for a bottle, sometime they wake up 2x a night to eat. Now that they play more and need more from me I'm exhausted again lol. I can't believe they will be 7 months old soon! We are already talking about their bday and I already have their bday outfits picked out. We plan on taking professional pics a few weeks before their bday.

Hope everyone is doing great! I miss our group. Itsmhardnto believe a year ago we were sharing our fears and aches and pains, amd growing bellies, and now we are sharing our stories of our babies :)
Cameron now has 2 teeth! The 2nd one snuck in there without me even knowing!!! She looks so cute when she smiles now :)
Their 6 month appt was really good. Cami weighs 18.8 lbs and Drake weighs 19.1, and Drake is a smidgen longer at 26 3/4 and Cami at 26 1/2.
I am still s u c k i n g with tummy time, and I am afraid it is reflected in their no interest in crawling. I have got to get better at that and soon!!!
Cami loves for you to hold her under her arms and to jump up and down off your legs until you, and her are outta breath :)
Drake loves for you to kiss his neck while he gives a from the belly laugh :)
They are sooo much work, but soooo much fun too!!
