PG - 9 Weeks 1 Day - I've Got Protection!

- from stretch marks! I bought Mamma Mio Stretch Mark Prevention Oil from Destination Maternity yesterday when we were finishing up small Christmas shopping. I used it this morning after my shower and I really like it. It feels great and it smells terrific. I hope it works. I have stretch marks from my pregnancy with Phoebe on my lower stomach from when she dropped, but I'm worried about getting a lot more from carrying twins. I'll let you know next year if it works or not.

We also had a great ultrasound today. Baby A had a heart rate of 17four (LOL - my four key still needs to be fixed) and was moving all over the place. She was doing a little shimmy-wiggle it was so cute!!!! Leo really enjoyed watching this ultrasound because he didn't get to see last week's, which was the first one that we were able to see any movement. Baby B was quiet today, but he was moving a bit. It's heart rate was 167 and he moved a little, but not as much as Baby A. Just about four to five weeks and I'll be feeling those movements. I do admit my intuition is telling me Baby A is a girl and I'm not quite sure what Baby B is. Of course I could be full of shit, but that's just what my gut is telling me.

Oh I'm going to post it on my site soon, but I'm about a week ahead of you... (so comment on my site after Christmas!)

But I'm so so so so so excited for you and TWINS! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

I got some great pregnancy lollipops from my friend in NY, and since I've had horrible Morning sickness they came at the RIGHT time!

Don't you love ultrasounds! Great heartrates! Isn't life good?

Hi.... I've been reading your blog for a while now... but never commented :o(
Congratulations on your twins!
I couldn't resist but to guess the genders.
My guess is two girls. If I'm correct I'll tell you how I make my predictions.
Just want to wish you all the best for a healthy and happy pregnancy.

Thanks for posting the creme you're using to prevent stretch marks.
Hopefully, I'll need to get it in the very near future.

Best wishes & Happy Holidays!!

I always believed the OWT of heartbeats, but having a little one with a heart rate of 169 and him having a penis, well, that goes out the door!

I used that oil my entire pregnancy and didn't get one stretch-mark! ;) I also likes the smell and that is absorbed quickly. I had my hubby rub it on me every morning and before bed. It was a nice way for us to add a little intimacy and for him to see the changes to my belly everyday.

The heart rates are excellent. All is going so well! SO very happy for you. I thought my "baby B" was a girl for sure but she ended up being "Matthew".... so obviously I was wrong.

Happy Holidays!!!

Glad they are looking good!

You'll have to let us know if the stretch mark prevention works.

Merry Christmas!

All the women on both sides of my family got S.M-but I snuck through pregnancy without them. I drank one gallon of water every day-not to save my skin, but it sure didn't hurt-and applied pure cocoa butter (st.helene's in a tube) and pure vitamin oil every am and pm. Not one stretch mark!!!
I am so happy for you, SM or not!!!

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
