Brie: Chris was right ;) My Great Aunt is named Mildred actually, but we call her Millie which is much nicer :) When did you start seeing the MFM? 18 weeks for me seems like a long wait to start with Dr. J (?) That's just not right about the hospital asking for a copayment when obviously that was NOT your top priority! And, the misinformation you received :P

Isra: Wow, I can imagine how much it costs to ship a set of encycs! I'm glad Shimon is feeling better :) I can see how those oily potato pancakes made you nauseous, but oh they sound good ;) You need to get more healthy things into you though girl! A donut is not a good first meal by means because it has no nutritional value, I know even though they taste so good ;) That darn nausea really messes with your appetite :P I love hot chocolate, but I can see how it would be too sweet. Use saline irrigation much healthier than digging for gold ;) Ok, sounds like you need to get some extra sleep too my dear, here's some ((hugs)) too :) Thanks ♥ I have two little peapods now ;)

Simone: I've been Googling the types of twins so I think I'm figuring it out more ;) Oh, your temp went down today (?) Maybe FF was confused with your O date and this is an implantation dip? I hope AF stays away so you can test next week! I guess SS has to go through the process, not missing any steps. You were lucky the power only stayed out briefly! What caused it?

Heather: I hope it was just too soon to test, FX'd ;)

Suzanne: 1 more day! Did they order your lab draw already? Oh no, you're having a problem with your fiance too?!? What is with these men of ours lately? :P

Thank you Gina ♥ Yes, I do, I just can't upload them on the site from my work computer. Promise to do it by this weekend :) I'm glad you're all feeling better and everything is well with the baby :)

Tara: You're doing much better than me with the Christmas shopping ;) We have DH's family party next weekend and we have zilch bought for the kids :P We do a Yankee Swap for the adults for his family and mine, any ideas for neutral gifts? We're not allowed scratch tickets or gift cards unless they accompany something to open. Tomorrow you start Clomid!

Nicole - Why do they want to wait until 18 weeks?  It sounds kind of late to me..  I guess mo/mo is higher risk than mo/di?  Yeah, that's why they're still sitting in MIL's storage room. :)  I know, I know, but saline irrigation takes so long, and I don't have the patience.  Also, if I wake up with an extremely stuffy nose (often), I don't always have energy to reach for the salt water. ;)  It would set a good example for Shimon, though, because he doesn't let us stick anything in his nose - not salt water and not a finger - so it's always a fight.  Sigh.  I am trying to get more healthy food in me, but I have no appetite and most of the foods I normally eat (read: healthy foods) make me nauseous at the thought of them.  But, today, I had mint tea with no sugar, and some white cheese (and nothing else).  I was not even hungry for most of the day, just nauseous.  Hopefully I will be able to eat supper..  Hm, maybe you can go to a dollar store and find good deals for all the kids, in one place? ;)  Hm, I guess if they're doing it day-by-day, then it makes more sense.  Yeah, I see the two cuties in the pod. I guess even if there are no twin elephants, you can still get twin babies.:)  Let's hope their size evens out! :)

Brie - There is a window of opportunity getting them to sleep - if they are too tired, it gets difficult. I think you should make a stink and get your money back.

Isra: Yes, day by day. You should get a cool mist humidifier. I have one that you can put a water bottle into and sprays all night on the setting you put it on. Very small, lightweight and easy to clean. We also have one for Aaron, holds a lot more water so it lasts longer. It moistens the mucous membranes so you can easily discard the congestion. That and the Netti Pot, it does take time to do the washes but they're worth it. That's right, let Shimon watch you use it. Aaron gets a kick out of it actually, but I tell him it really helps Mommy :) I know you're not hungry but the nausea is telling you to eat at least a little something. It's the only way mine subsides actually. Try eating small meals throughout the day even though you don't feel hungry it will keep your blood sugar stable and may therefore control the intensity of the nausea. I DO usually get good deals at the discount stores for the kids. It's the Yankee Swap I have such a hard time with. No twin elephants, but I like the peapods and I used one of them in my TTC ticker :)

Simone: Yes it would, wonderful anniversary present and for the Holidays :) Oh no, poor Len :( I hope he just woke up temporarily, he needs to sleep this bug away! I'll have to check out that twin site. Do you think it's beneficial to buy a book on having multiples? We have a week to week pregnancy book, but I feel like we need to get something focusing on having more than one. Wow, so it wasn't just a powerline then because that would be more localized to your neighborhood. MFM stands for maternal fetal medicine doctor/specialist or high risk OB.
