Congratulations NeatFreak and family!! What beautiful boys you have! I''m so glad everything went well and they didn''t require any NICU stay.

I still feel like I just lurk in this thread because I won''t have my first appointment until Dec. 30th so I don''t really have anything exciting to add.....until today I had to make a quick trip into my midwife this afternoon and begged her to attempt the doppler ( I am 9 wks 4 days) even though I knew the likelihood of actually hearing anything was slim. Well to my delight, I heard the heartbeat 174bpm! Yay! I couldn''t stop smiling--there really is a real live baby in that there belly! Hopefully my appointment on the 3oth we will get to see the baby on ultrasound as well as hear the heartbeat since my husband was not there to hear today. I also have my Ultrascreen 1st trimester appointment scheduled for Jan 7th with all the blood work and detailed ultrasound. A friend of mine said that with her daughter they were able to tell her that she was having a girl at her ultrascreen appt. She was 12 weeks. I can''t believe that in just a couple weeks I may know if I am going to be buying pink or blue!!! I am really excited! Can you tell?!
In other news, my m/s seems to be subsiding but the heartburn and headaches are rearing their ugly heads. I don''t remember having heartburn until well into the 2nd trimester with my daughter. Ugggh!

Just got an email from Mr. Neat! Here''s what he said (edited to preserve Neat''s anonymity):

Hi everybody,

For those of you who haven''t heard yet, Dexter Aidan (18'', 4
lbs 6 ounces) and Maxwell Elliot (18.5'', 5 lbs 10 ounces)
arrived this morning. Both the boys and Neat are doing well, with
no need for NICU time.

Here''s the pic he sent:

Awwww, how NEAT is this pic??!!!

They are beautiful neat!!! And I love their names!

I''m so glad everything went well, and you just look glowing my dear, with good reason.

Congratulations to you and mister neat, and enjoy those bundles of sweetness!

 

[Catmom]

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Neat!! Your baby boys are beautiful. I''m so glad everything went well and can''t wait to see about a million more pics.

 

[ChinaCat]

Welcome to Neveah!

Kelly, glad you heard the heartbeat, wow that''s exciting! So you already have a daughter? How old is she?

 

[mela lu]

YEY Kelley for a heartbeat! Glad to hear things are progressing well

Don''t be too disappointed if you can''t get the gender at your next appt., as I think 12 weeks can be early to determine the sex. that said....if you do find out....SPILL THE BEANS!

lol

I wonder how Neats first night went?!

 

[Festy]

Congratulations, Neat! You have a beautiful family!

 

[fisherofmengirly]

Hey guys, I know not everyone reads the TTC thread anymore, but I think Peony could use some supportive words and good vibes right now. She posted in the TTC thread that she''s most likely having a chemical pregnancy as she''s now getting bfn''s and her hcg level came back at 10.

Thanks for the heads up Robbie, going there now to give her some support. That stinks.

You guys are all so amazing, so as a reward here is another picture from today! We are all doing really well, just enjoying our time together. Let me tell you that all the discomforts of pregnancy are so totally worth it when you look into the eyes of your kid(s) for the first time. Really amazing.

As for the birth story, there isn't much of one since it was a scheduled c-section! I was 37 w 6d, and we were scheduled for a c-section because Baby B (Dexter) was butt first. I was completely terrified of the spinal anesthesia, but really, it was super easy. The worst part about the entire thing was the nausea that I experienced in the OR, but they quickly got rid of it once I told them about it. The most amusing part of the delivery was that poor little Dexter had to be pulled out by the scrotum! Poor guy...his junk was just swollen huge yesterday! The surgery took under 45 minutes total and really it has been a pretty easy recovery so far. I can carry and hold the boys and am only a bit sore where the incision is. You do feel a bit detached from the process, but not from the babies. It was very easy for me to bond with them.

Sorry I can't reply to everyone individually, it's obviously a bit busy around here! Love you guys! (Max is on the left)

 

[Kaleigh]

Awww, Dexter and Max are soooo adorable. Glad you are doing well Neat!!! HUGS!! Enjoy this special time bonding with your precious boys!!!

 

[Miranda]

They are just precious Neat! Enjoy this very special time!

 

[nycbkgirl]

omg neat please keep as many pics coming as u can

they are just soooooo adorable!!! im glad all is well...keep us posted (funny about the scrotum thing never heard that one before lol

)

 

[robbie3982]

They're precious! I winced at the part about Dex's little package. Poor guy.

ETA: I told DH how they got him out and the way he winced you'd think it happened to him!

 

[ljmorgan]

Neat, your boys are gorgeous! Congratulations!
