I know it’s early, but I could really use one and can’t have one, so I’m needing to live vicariously through someone.

Baby update below I got some not good, but not necessarily bad news about Baby B today. She’s fallen almost completely off the growth curve, and baby A has dropped quite a bit too. My MFM says she’s not worried, but I’m now scheduled for weekly monitoring and will be referred to a different specialist at Texas Children’s downtown if things don’t improve over the next 4 weeks. That seems like a lot to not be worried about, so i’ve spent most of the afternoon googling things I shouldn’t and trying not to cry in front of DD.

OMFG I NEED A DRINK. Our scheduling software has been down all day so I've had no idea who's coming in and when and can't schedule appointments or really do shit. It's a nightmare.

I went on my lunch break and got my rings polished and rhodium treated and all that, so my wedding set looks all shiny and brand new in time for our 10 year anniversary next week
Also, things seem to be improving between H and I. I'm still on guard and not going to just brush things under the rug, but ... Feels better today

I'm sorry imapenguin. Continued good thoughts for the girls. No chance loading up on ice cream and milkshakes will help with growth right? That sounds like a really good plan to me!

imapenguin sending you a big hug. I’m so sorry. Trying not to cry when that’s all you want to do is the worst. How long til bedtime for your DD? How many weeks are you?

imapenguin, if it helps, I am going through a similar thing with this pregnancy. Baby 1 is measuring SGA. From what my doctor has told me, it is not common for twins, but is more common for twins than singletons. It is good that they are keeping a close eye on things, it sounds like you are in good hands.

She actually specifically said not to eat more, lol. I forget why because I was trying to remember all the words to google.

imapenguin sending you a big hug. I’m so sorry. Trying not to cry when that’s all you want to do is the worst. How long til bedtime for your DD? How many weeks are you? 3 hours to bedtime, but MH should be home in about an hour and a half. I’m 23 weeks tomorrow ( emma). The fact that she’s comfortable waiting 4 weeks to make a call is giving me some comfort because by then I’ll be 27 weeks and viability rates are pretty high at that point.

My mom texted me that DS wanted pizza for dinner tonight and who am I to argue with that? I tried to resist a piece because I still need to get to the gym tonight but I couldn't help myself while I was getting their plates ready. So I will go treadmill in a bit then have more pizza after I'm done.

Huge hugs, imapenguin. I know how it feels to be so helpless and scared about the well being of your baby-in-ute. I'm glad your in such good hands and I'm here to listen any time you find yourself stressed out and in need of a vent. I know it's easier said than done, but really try to remember that the people who go on to have hunky-dory experiences don't come back to update their posts. They're too busy and have forgotten what it was like to be so stressed because everything worked out. The anecdotal posts you read are highly skewed. Just keep that in mind. ❤️

I'm making dinner. Roasted broccoli/mushrooms and a meal simple marinated chicken breast. It all smells so good. FX a shot of the ole gaviscon quells the reflux since I need to be in bed at 7 and it will be after 4:30 by the time we eat.

imapenguin sorry for the not so great news. I know how hard it is to not worry. I had a similar thing happen with my last pregnancy and while I understand why they do the extra monitoring, it made me so stressed. In the end, it is what is best. My little guy ended up being normal size. Hugs.

Csection recovery this time around is ROUGH. I was hoping to go home today but it’s being pushed to tomorrow or Saturday. So I’m just hanging out at the hospital alone with my newborn on lots of good drugs for the next couple of days still. I guess that’s not the worst thing in the world.

If it wasn’t paired with a 10 day family vacation, it would be really hard to swing. we'll probably turn it into a 2 week vacation (because 9.5 hour flight) but damn that's a lot of money. And this is always the reason H and i never get a vacation with just us

microworm - if you're not looking for local fare I can't recommend Suckerfree enough. It's my new favorite.

I’ve been up since 4:30 for a 5am workout. Which makes me feel pretty #fitbitch as HilarityEnsued would say, but also quite sleepy.
