Due anytime Summer 2012

[mhv]

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!!!

I don't wear necklaces all the time especially at bedtime because I'm afraid I'll break it.

But I've heard lots of people recommending them

Jacob has been teething for the last 4 weeks ( at least) and still nothing...
He started refusing bottles and went down to 20 ounces/day. My heart was breaking because he looked hungry but couldn't eat...
About 2 days ago, after trying Baltic amber necklace for a day or two, I suddenly thought about those old colic Hyland's melting tablets and tried them as an act of desperation lol They worked like a charm! Jacob is back to 28-30 ounces/day + a little bit of veggies! I am so relieved :-)
As some of the babies, he loves to look at faces and touch them. I already started setting some boundaries, because he wasn't too gentle, either ;-) Now if he plays rough I grab his hand and say " nie" ( "no" in Polish lol). He seems to understand a lot and already tries to play me lol
My dh says Jacob is mommy's boy - he follows me with his eyes wherever I go and he gets a big smile on his face when I walk in the room.
He loves to be cuddled, caressed and kissed - especially early in the morning and later in the evening; he just want to sit with me and cuddle. We usually play with him when we change his diapers and he laughs out loud :-) - it's the best sound in the world!
I hope that my surgery will go smoothly and I will be ready to take care of my lil prince very, very soon afterwards :-)

Meant to say he likes to let his hands bounce gently thru my hair not his hands lol

And Aleks loves hair to. When I learn over him he likes to let his hands bounce gently thru his hands and he twirls his hands around my hair and he babbles so cutely and he's so gentle. Then all of a sudden he grabs your hair really hard and screams with joy!! It's so funny and I love when he does it even though it hurts lol

Drake  loves touching and holding faces too! Lol...  I have to make sure his nails are kept short...lol...he isn't gentle either.  But it sure is cute :)  he just wants to keep looking at whomevers face he is holding....
Also, I don't think he is anywhere close to teething yet.

They haven't started the looking for me thing yet.  

My friend told me I should get myself a necklace too! Lol...

Mhv- Thats great that she has a tooth already and isnt showing any pain from it! I swear my boys have been teething for what seems like forever and still nothing! It does seem that Aleks handles teething better then Maks though.

I plan on getting a necklace for myself to lol..

I think my boys are getting seperation anxiety now. Every time we go someplace and someone is holding them they will turn themselves any which way they can to look for me. and they will stare at me forever. Then they will look and interact with the person holding them but about every few minutes they will search for me again to make sure Im still there.

Aleks also has this thing now for the past 2 wks where he loves to touch faces. He of course isnt gentle when he does it. I have to really watch him now as he touches Maks's face whenever they are together but he is so rough lol..
