    @Sugar.Biscuit: I got a support band from BRU around the same time. It was helpful for relieving pressure for most of the second tri, but the massive velcro panels were kind of crazy

    @LMOG47: Have you had a chance to try it yet? I'm really sore today & am considering getting one.

    @Mrs. Blue: that thing sounds so uncomfortable! You should post a picture of it.

    @Sugar.Biscuit: my SIL got one for me (I also have the above one I ordered but haven't used it yet). I've used it a couple times (while around the house) and it did help some. It wasn't a miracle worker but it did provide some relief. I haven't worn it outside the house since its kinda big/goes around my neck, etc & would definitely show unless I was wearing a big ol sweater. Heh.

    I admittedly have no idea what kind of feeding you're planning to do, but it looks SO COOL. I kind of want it, and I'm NOT having twins

    @LovelyPlum: Thanks! We just got a Keurig for DH's birthday. I plan on breast feeding but will keep this in my back up bank.

    What did you twin momma's do for bottles? What ones did you buy & how many? Did you get different colored bottles for each baby to keep them separate or did they share? I don't understand why one would worry about keeping them separate. Is there something about that I should know?

    @littleredhairedgrl: congratulations! I didn't do much planning or buying till we were in the second trimester & knew the genders. one of the best things I have done is buy stuff off FB consignment groups & craigs list. Most of our clothes, CD, & our stroller is second hand. Somethings have a little staining but those can be worn at home everything else is in great condition! I got an almost new city mini for $150, the stroller we had registered for wasn't as nice & cost twice as much!

    I'm 29+5 today so it'll be interesting to see how things progress into parenthood & what we ended up using & not using. @twodoghouse: this goes to you as well sugar! Congratulations! I've felt so alone on these boards lately that it will be good to have some company!

    @Sugar.Biscuit: I'm doing well! This week we had our first perinatologist appointment and found the babies are growing perfectly. They also measured my cervix and it's doing well at 4.25. We found out that we're having one girl and one boy, which we are so excited about! How have you been feeling??

    @twodoghouse: how fun! We're having B/G twins also. I'm hanging in there. Hit 32 weeks on Thursday & put my two week notice in on Monday. I'm SO over working. Babies like to share my right side & have been causing a lot of stretching & rib pains. Its time for me to take it easy & start nesting

    @Sugar.Biscuit: Gahh, I remember that feeling of them crowding to one side! It was soooo painful! One of the boys kept his head lodged directly under my left rib cage and after they were born, there was a stretched out pocket of skin from where his head was for like a week! Hang in there, it feels like time is dragging now, but it'll pass soon enough!
