Hi, ladies. I haven't been around much because I am too tired to ride very often these days, but I thought I'd check in here and see how everyone is doing.

Me, I am currently eight and a half weeks pregnant with twins. Not for long, they tell me: one of them has been faltering from the get-go and they think I'll probably lose that one, although it's hiding behind its sibling so we won't know for sure for a few more weeks. Either way my doctors are pretty confident that the other twin is fine and is unlikely to be affected by the loss of its sibling. And we will be very happy with one healthy baby.

In the meantime, I feel like I am pregnant with twins: I am sick and tired and sleeping twelve hours a day. I have no activity restrictions at the moment -- "exercise while you can," is what they told me -- which is good, because when I can drag myself out we have been doing a little mountain biking, and I narrowly avoided my first endo. Something to tell the kid after it arrives.

Congrats Xeney! I carried twins and was told neither would make it. They are both here and quite healthy. Did they doctors mention anything about TTTS? Offer up any opinions as to why they think one twin will not thrive? Have you been seeing a Perinatologist who specializes in high risk, multiple birth pregnancies? Feel free to contact me off list. (((((((Xeney)))))))

Congratulations Xeney! I don't know anything about twins but hopefully BMO3 can give you advice and support. Hugs from me and hugs to the little ones too.

I can attest to the overnight growth. My son keeps wanting me to measure him and for weeks, it's nothing, and then one day, he's grown another inch. I'm sure it happens overnight. Sometimes I think I'd like to measure him daily to see if that's true.

I managed to splash hot bacon fat on my chest this morning. Now I have several blisters right close to a pretty sensitive spot. Owie... Glad I'm not breast-feeding right now.

Oh Xeney, how scary and exciting! with my first pregnancy i took 3 naps every day and slept well at night. No wonder you don't feel like riding. All I cared about back then was taking my naps.

All I care about now is taking naps - and no I'm not pregnant! And I don't have a page on MySpace either.....

Congrats Xeney. I hope it all works out well. Listen to your body during this time - if you're tired rest. Keep us posted!

hey, what's so bad about having a myspace page?
did i just set myself up for something? please don't stone me to death?!

[xeney]

Thanks, everyone. Jennifer, they are in separate sacs so I was told that TTTS was not a concern. And right now Baby B's faltering is almost certainly due to chromosomal issues that can't be avoided or prevented, so they aren't even considering me high risk unless/until Baby B makes it to the ten-week mark. Right now they have this classed as a "vanishing twin," even though it hasn't vanished yet!

You drifters crack me up. I am a lurker because I can't keep up. This week is slow at work, I am actually caught up on the drift.

Knot- I have no advice on growth spurts, but I second Kohl's. My brother and FIL are ridiculously hard to find sizes and we usually find them at Kohl's.

Xeney- Congratulations and best luck with the pregnancy. I wonder what to expect when I am pregnant one day, since I am not pregnant and need a nap a day. I have been known to nap in my car at lunch. I love my naps!

CWR- I am not sure what it means but I have a Myspace page. It is the only way some of my friends will answer me, traditional email doesn't work for them.

(((Xeney))) Take good care!

I'm about ready to spaz out at the next landlord who tells me that they have received a (1) application on an apartment that I'm looking for/at and that it's pending right now. GRR. Why must I ALWAYS be behind on this sh*t?! RRRRAAAAARRRGH!

[mtbdarby]

Wow, I just scored on after Christmas shopping for my son! Toys, clothes and a few car gadgets for mom - yeah! Now. Put the cc away and do NOT use it! This boy is set for gifts for Valentines Day, Easter basket and birthday

Aggie and CWR - you'll have to check Mimi's post about a refernce to X and a myspace page. Just playing off that, nothing bad.

Got a little more snow today. Still wet heavy stuff. Guess I'll be shoveling tonight. You guys need to quit talking about naps. I am REALLY tired right now. But then, I don't feel good. Yucky stomach thang. Good thing I already promised my son he could have his favorite meal for supper: ramen noodles, pb&j sandwich, and raw carrots and dip. He could eat that all week...
