yay ty! I may be using this!

I dont focus much on what I eat...especially bc although I am 13w3d my nausea is worst and I got sick yesterday morning :( (only the second time since I have been pregnant, but even this morning it was hard to fight it off)........so I am just trying to eat a variety. I focus on getting my calcium,protein,fruit, and…

My BCBS isnt awful...though I have had issues where I have had to call for them to pay a bill...sometimes it was the doctors office (like when my OB opened his own practice and the nurse put me in as a MALE).....but sometimes it is about the coding between the two which is where my issues have arised. I was shocked I didnt…

I had invested in a double stroller before I found out I was having twins so now I need a triple stroller really, but we are just going to keep using my sons single stroller and have the twins use the double. I bought mine off a facebook group for moms, I got a great price of $60. So you could try craigslist, I got 1/2…

Good luck on the June group! SO exciting to know everything is going well!

I understand completely......but I am also glad I got pregnant now since I still have a ways to go. It was my plan to try and get pregnant before I lost too much weight. I still weigh 10lbs less than I did when I got pregnant with my son, but I know I will still reach where I was at the end if not more with the twins. It…

Great to hear! Very exciting! :) I like it when doctors remember things, it makes me feel like I am not just another patient.

Yay exciting! Have a great appt!!

I agree completely!! If I dont have a nauseous spell I can get worried, I just want to look at them everyday and be sure! But I am more confident they are both here to stay after my appt yesterday. But I am still just wantoing to make it to 20 weeks and then to 30 and then to at least 36! Once I am 20 weeks I should be in…

Mine are still sore as well, which didnt last this long with my son. But its hard for me to compare since I have 2, so idk how to compare this one to my last one at all!!! I am already wearing maternity bc in my belly I am 18 weeks although real time I am 10W4D, but I know in twins women measure 8 weeks ahead and its even…

I recommend TJMaxx or Ross, I bought a few things from Ross with my last pregnancy, I am actually wearing one today! They were a great price and kept their form nicely. I also went to Motherhood maternity last pregnancy and they had great deals on the clearance rack. Everything I bought was business like and they even have…

I have been emotional as well...this is my second pregnancy...but I am more sappy this time...for example I cried at the end of Cars when Lightning Mcqueen pushed the car over the finish line (although I have seen it a million times), I cried when I heard my favorite sunday night football song last night, I just keep…

Yah I decided I will go for the real stuff, I wasnt thinking of that until I told my mom and she said not to eat the sugar free stuff either! :) Ty as well :)

I hear ya on that! I got to stay home with my son until I got my most recent job a month and a half ago which is full time. (I was working night shift whe he was 9 months until this job so I dont count it as not being a SAHM). I loved it, but I did enjoy going to work too for the adult interaction since I did saty at home…

They do make the sugar free! I did forget about pudding, thank you for the reminder!!! I have been cheesing and yogurting as much as possible lol....so throwing some pudding in will be great! WE have some in the pantry :) I know whats for dessert tonight!

Oh maybe I should get Ovaltine! I decided to buy some Chocolate Silk chocolate this morning, it only has 3 grams of sugar, so I am hoping I will like it. I havent had any yet today, been a crazy day at work so I am focusing on my water and fruit atm! I lived in Wisconsin for 2 years, my dad still lives there and I still…

I understand your feelings completely. I go back and forth..like this morning I woke up and didnt feel pregnant anymore and I was like omg...did the twins just disappear? Then I made breakfast and became nauseous so I knew it was just my mind in my early morning state...I am stoked about having two, but it makes it hard bc…

Thats great! My doctors arent allowing me to workout for 3 weeks, so I have 2 weeks to go. I start seeing the high risk doctors Oct 23, looking forward to another ultrasound to make sure the twins are okay...this pregnancy is so much harder bc I am more knowledgable about the nutrition and things than I was the first time…

I actually bought the book and have read all the way up to the birthing process, which I wont be reading for a while. But I love the nutrition advice, tho I must say me not being a milk drinker it is hard for me to get my calcium in. I have been trying to eat a lot more cheese, 2 yogurts a day (1 greek and one regular) and…

Thank you! I was just telling my hubby this morning I want to get a what to expect when expecting multiples book ;), the pro too is I have my mom and aunt who have both had a set of twins so I can always ask them too! I have also been thinking about tracing my ancestry back and seeing just how common twins have been…

Yah we will be done after these 2 come! We were planning to have 3 max anyways, my thought thoough is in 7-8 years I might get the baby blues again and want to try again! lol, but that will be a long ways from now once we are all situated, we have a lot to prepare for with the twins...we need a bigger place, another of…

I generally eat a heavy breakfast of egg whites,toast and a greek yogurt or cottage cheese. That holds me over until 12 or so and then I will have a snack until I go to lunch at 2. For lunch it is definitely the hardest meal of the day....I am okay with sandwiches, but since lunch meat isnt recommended for constant…

Its the same way on our end. We dont get home until 8 bc we get off at 7....its so hard to even find time to work out and I make sure to eat a snack between 4 and 5 as well or I get nauseous on the way home. Its always good to have something on hand to hold you over. I try and aim for a fiber bar or some applesauce. It…

Yah I cant wear my jeans already :( I was wearing them Friday and they felt tight and I am concerned the pressure could have caused the bleeding and I know a lot of other women I read comments on other sites and they said even at 8 weeks they had to unbutton their jeans, so I dont feel like I am the only one now! :)

Lol...sorry I have been MIA! Its been hectic! Its funny to see these comments about expecting twins because I just found out I am expecting twins on Friday! I started bleeding and so I had to go the ER since thats what my doctor wanted me to do and had an ultrasound and found out! Its scary bc of the bleeding (which has…

Planning to go to the gym when I get home to do cardio and weights :)

I am hoping I will catch a break in the second trimester. I wouldnt mind not going to the gym and just doing things at home if we werent paying so much for it a month. Its a great motivator to make me go. We are going to try alternating this week and seeing what happens! I do get a lunch, but I am so hungry and I am lucky…

Youre still doing crunches while pregnant? I am worried, but if I can continue to do them as you are I need it....I have stopped for the past 4 weeks and the belly is seeing it already :(

I go to the gym and use the machines there. I was doing higher weights with less reps, but now since I am pregnant I have been doing less weight with more reps. I focus on my back, arms and legs, I generally do a full body workout every time I go. I just enjoy it. I do my bicep curls and triceps, and I have been thinking…
