How was your weekend?
I had a beautiful 3 days off of work like many of you out there. Gotta love labor day (thank you chas for correcting me).
Did not do much these past few days other than rest. I couldn’t do anything else! I get winded so quickly. I attempted to go to the mall with the hubby on Saturday to look at a dishwasher. It was nice to spend some time with him because he usually works on Saturday’s and so we had a 3 day weekend together (and no one was killed because of it).
So we proceeded to go to the mall and let me tell you I almost hit my husband over the head with a hammer. We went to Se*ars to see dishwashers and of course after going there and debating, my husband said that he didn’t want to buy one. I almost killed him. You see, we currently live on the 3rd floor in a building and because of this cant have a dishwasher (would disturb the people below us). We are moving into our new 2 bedroom apt (with the *lovely* bathroom) probably on the 1st of the month, and can now officially get one! I was so excited! I have never had one before. Not in my parent’s home or my own. Doing dishes are my pet peeve. I usually clean the pots half-assed and my husband gets mad (then I proceed to tell him to do it himself- which he does). And then the thought of having a sink full of dishes accompanied by 16 dirty baby bottles came flooding into my head.
As we left the appliance section, my husband started looking at tools. He loves tools. I was so tired and angry that I just wanted to go home. I have never felt so tired from walking around (mind you it was only 20 minutes). I started to cry. On our way out of the store, we ran into a motherhood store and I picked up some more pants. I am quickly outgrowing my maternity pants. I am now officially a large. Wonderful. What will I be in a month?
Then yesterday I brought up the dishwasher discussion again. He said he didn’t want to spend the money (he is always so worried about money- esp with these two kiddies on the way). I told him that I needed this, and that I don’t think I can handle 2 crying babies with loads of dishes in my face. I proceeded to cry. I gave him valid points and he agreed. We went back to the store and bought it! Yeahy. It will make my life a bit easier.
I just seemed to be getting winded so quickly. I mean, I am only 5 months along and I cant stand up for a long period of time. I get so tired. My feet ache and my body hurts. I guess this is normal because of all this added weight and blood volume.
Oh on another note- I think I have started to feel them kick! It happened sporadically but I believe it’s them.
On Sunday night I lay in bed and felt something. I ran to my husband a few minutes later and he put his hands on my belly to try and feel them. Of course, you cant will it to happen so I didn’t think it would . Then after a few seconds, we both felt a kick! It was as if they knew their daddy was trying to feel them. It was so weird! Yesterday morning I also felt a little kicking and so did he. But sometimes I don’t know if it’s a kick or gas bec it doesn’t happen a lot.
I really hope it’s them because it gives me something less to worry about.
I have a OB appointment tomorrow! So excited! This time they should be able to tel the sex of the babies.. I am so nervous. I feel as though I am having a boy and a girl. The girl being baby A (closer to the cervix) and the boy being Baby B. My grandmother predicted twins prior to us knowing we were having twins and then said it was one of each (I am glad she knew she was having great-grandchildren before she passed away 2.5 months ago). My aunts feel that I am having one of each as well, and so did a Rabbi that my mother saw in Israel, and a psychic at work. Oh, and the doctor at the NT Scan said she thought it was one of each as well. So, we’ll have to wait and see. But a part of me believes that they are all right. I would be surprised if I was having 2 boys. Of course, as long as they are healthy, I am happy no matter what (of course we don’t have one name for a boy so that might pose a problem if we have two).
What do all of you think I’m having? Any feelings?
On a sad note, please please send some love and encouragment to Becks
She just had her second negative IVF transfer.
K J and the kids said
She didn’t get a negative yet. She’s only 10 days post. She has to wait until 14 days. She could still be pregnant. I had a friend who got a negative on day 15 and ended up carrying twin girls.
Still crossing my fingers for Becky.
SO HAPPY that you got your dishwasher. WORTH the tears.
I think you are having a boy and a girl too. Going with the flow.
Can’t wait to find out.
I CANNOT believe you are already 20 weeks. This prengnancy is going REALLY fast for me
ha ha

Memorial Day…you’re funny
.
Congrats on the dishwasher…it’d be hard for me to live w/out one. Oh, and congrats on those baby kicks! That was easily the best part of pregnancy for me. Those last few weeks, the movement and kicking is so visible from the outside; it’s amazing.

Hooray for kicks!
I am guessing boy and girl, just because everyone loves symmetry.
Chas said
Oh yeah..I forgot to put in my guess. I def. think you’re having a boy and a girl. I’m going with that simply b/c that’s the most common twin variation, plus that’d make for a perfect family just in case you guys decide not to go through this all again.

Congrats on feeling the babies! There is nothing like it, is there?
Mony said
Boys.
Boys.
Boys! That’s what I think.

Congrats on the kicking! I feel my babies kicking every day and I love it, I can sit for hours with my hand on my stomach, feeling them (too bad they’re not usually kicking for hours at a time…)
Good luck with your appointment- I hope it’s a boy and girl- I’m hoping for the same for myself!
Kristen said
OOOOHHHH… I can’t wait to find out what you’re carrying in there! I say boy and girl too but I can’t wait to know for sure.
And dishes are my pet peeve too. Thankfully we have a dishwasher that works now. And so do you!
XOXO,
Kristen

I think your grandmother was right. Boy and a girl. One of each!
Yay for the dishwasher – you’re family is swiftly about to DOUBLE, you need it for sure!
I hope you’re breathlessness gets better.
