The boys have become SUPER active in the past week. I can distinctly tell the difference between them. Up until last night, Mr. MBC has not seen or felt movement. It's like his hand has so kind of calming effect on them.
Well, last night they were both going crazy and Mr. MBC finally felt Baby A kick. It felt so light to him, he wasn't sure if it was the baby. Anyway, he said "Make him move again..." So sweet!

5, 6, 7, & 8 (playing catch up)
So I'm not even a week in and I already fail at the 30 day blog challenge. But, I have been sick and Mr. MBC sent several hours Saturday registering. So exhausting!
Day 5-Your siblings
Day 6-A picture of something that makes you happy
Day 7-Favorite movies
Day 8-A place you've traveled to
Day 5-Your siblings
- I have one brother. I think I've mentioned him before. He's 10 years younger than me, so we basically grew up as only children. Even though there is a huge age gap between us, he and I are very close. We don't talk on the phone that often, but when we see each other he always says "Hey, I've been wanting to ask you something...." I love my baby brother.
Day 6-A picture of something that makes you happy
Day 7-Favorite movies
- Steel Magnolias
- Love Actually
- Bridget Jones's Diary
- Dirty Dancing
- Sweet Home Alabama
- The Family Stone
- If you notice, they're all girly movies :)
Day 8-A place you've traveled to
- NYC, NY - been to NYC twice and would go tomorrow if I had the chance. Both trips were girl trips - first with girlfriends and then with my mom, aunt and cousin.
- Phoenix, AZ - went here in college for a sorority convention. So freakin' hot in June!
- St. Thomas, USVI - Mr. MBC and I went here on our honeymoon. We stayed at an all-inclusive resort and it was awesome! We plan to go back for our 5 year anniversary. The boys will be almost 2 at that point, so I *may* be able to leave them for a few days.

Blog Challenge - Day 4
Day 4-Your parents
Where do I start? My parents are basically the best parents ever. I truly hope that my kids will have as much respect and love for me and Mr. MBC as I have for my parents.
My parents started dating when they were both still in high school. The were set up by a mutual friend. My dad was the bad boy on the motorcycle from the small town and my mom was the good girl from the city. From what I know, my mom and dad feel for one another fairly quick. My dad would drive for almost an hour to see my mom during the week and would go to all of her softball games whether it was week night or weekend.
They were married at 17 & 18. Very young!! I think of my life when I was their age and know there is NO WAY I was ready for marriage at that age. But times were different then, right?
For me, they are the perfect picture of what marriage should be. Have I seen them argue? Yes. Have I seen them give each other the silent treatment? Of course. But I've also seen how they are toward one another. They've been married for 33 years and they still tell each other "I love you" every time they leave one another and at the end of each phone call. When walking through the mall this past December, I saw them holding hands and acting all giddy like the teenagers I see on a daily basis.
In addition to showing their love for one another, they also show the greatest respect for each other. I remember anytime a vacation or major purchase came up, they always discussed it. They never make major decisions without the input of the other.
I remember dancing with my dad on my and Mr. MBC's wedding day. While dancing, my dad was very quiet and had a tear in his eye. (I've always been a daddy's girl and still am.) Anyway, I looked at him and told him I was going to be okay. This is what I wanted, had waited for it and had the best example of what marriage should be. After that, he was okay.
I guess the point of this story....if Mr. MBC and I can have marriage half as great as my parents, I'll count myself lucky.
While the boys will be my parents' first biological grandchildren, they've always treated the Sweetest Girl in the World like she's their own. Another reason I love them. They took her in and didn't ask any questions. Seeing how wonderful they are with her and how much she loves them, I have no doubt that they are going to be the best grandparents in the world.
And I know that material things don't measure love, but they spoil the SGW and have already started spoiling the boys.

Day 3
Day 3-Your first love
Not sure how to approach this one. I had two boyfriends that I used the "L word" with before I really knew what it meant and what it really felt like. Both of them were great guys, but at 14 or 15 years old, do you really know what love is?
Anyway, I guess my first love lasted for about 5 years. He and I met through mutual friends and began dating my senior year of high school. We dated all through college without issue until my senior year of college. Looking back, we just grew apart and did some really crappy things. And of course, I think he did a lot more crappy stuff than I. After we broke up, we talked and dated on and off for a year or so. I finally washed my hands of him when I found out that he was in a serious relationship and there was a baby on the way. HELLO??!?! Could I have been any more stupid?
I will not lie...it was hard. Very hard. But after that I learned that my first love should be myself. I learned that if I wasn't looking out for my well-being and my happiness, neither would anyone else. This of course excludes my family and friends, but you know what I mean. I didn't really date anyone for several years and the one "relationship" I had before meeting Mr. MBC ended when the guy told me I wouldn't let him get close and kept my guard up. He was tired of trying to break it down. After that, I figured I needed to find a happy medium between throwing everything I had into a relationship and not letting the other person in.
Enter Mr. MBC....I fell hard. Quick! He will tell you that he was scared of my feelings for him and how strongly he felt for me. Which explains the 6 month break that he and I took between the first time we dated and the second time. But once we started dating again in October, we were engaged in June, building a home in September and married in March. I guess you could say we're still pretty hot and heavy :) AndI love every minute of it.

So cool...
This morning while taking a bath, I forgot all about how this upper respiratory crud, streching, braxton hicks, etc is kicking my arse these days. Why, you ask??? Because I saw the coolest thing this morning....
While laying in the tub, I saw my belly move - several times. I guess the boys were trying to wake up as well. At first, I thought it was a fluke. I could feel them moving, but wasn't sure that I saw anything. Well, then it happened again. Or course, then I started poking and prodding my belly to keep it coming. The movement was in two general areas. Based on my last ultrasound and the movement I've been feeling the past couple of weeks, I really think both of them were moving around this morning. Some of the movement was to the right of my belly button and the other was higher up on the left side near my ribs.
While I don't think this tops seeing two sacs or two heart beats for the first time, it still ranks pretty high up in awesomeness!

Day 2
Day 2-Meaning behind your blog name
When Mr. MBC and I started our TTC journey, I thought I'd stop birth control in July and be pregnant soon after. If you ask any woman in my family, they will all tell you that they are "fertile myrtiles". I learned very quickly that wasn't the case for me.
Mr. MBC and I were approaching 9 months of TTC and 5 failed rounds of Clomid. I was talking to a friend one day and she suggested that I start a blog to get all of my feelings and thoughts out. When I thought about it, she had a point. Once I decided to start a blog, the name came quickly. I had found my true love, we were married, but we were searching for the baby carriage. My biggest fear was that it would forever be missing. Hence the name - Missing Baby Carriage.
As far as blogs are concerned, I'm trying to decide if I'll keep posting here once the boys are born or if I'll start another blog. If I start another one, I will likely use real names and photos. Thoughts?

Day 1
Day 1-Introduce, recent picture, 15 interesting facts
Hi :) I'm MBC. I'm a wife, daughter, sister and soon to be mother of twin boys. I started my blog as a way to deal with all the feelings I had when my husband, Mr. MBC, and I were having trouble concieving. Mr. MBC and I have been married for nearly 3 years and tried for over a year before achieving pregnancy. While I know this is not very long compared to what others have (and are) dealing with, I knew I had issues. Once stopping birth control, I was having 16-18 day cycles. In addition, I have had issues with cysts since I was 14 years old.
Mr. MBC has a daughter from a previous marriage. Luckily, I've been in her life since she was one year old so she doesn't really remember a time that I wasn't there. I rarely talk about her on my blog because I like to keep a certain level of privacy, but when I do refer to her she's known as the Sweetest Girl in the World.
Again, in terms of keeping my identity private I'm not going to post a picture of myself.
15 interesting facts....that's a tough one, but I'll try:

Again, in terms of keeping my identity private I'm not going to post a picture of myself.
15 interesting facts....that's a tough one, but I'll try:
- I've kept my blog a secret from Mr. MBC. He knows that I participate in message boards like The Bump, but doesn't really "get it".
- Mr. MBC and I had 2 first dates. We dated, stopped seeing each other and then went out again. If you ask him, the first time we dated doesn't really count.
- I'm a reality TV junkie. The trashier, the better. I love all of cities of Real Housewives. Jersey Shore is like a train wreck I can't look away from.
- I'm a teacher. I have my BS in Biology and Chemistry and my MS in Education. I'm currently in my 9th year of teaching. Sometimes I think about going back to school, but then think about all the papers and such....
- I have one brother that is 10 years younger than me. Basically, he and I were both raised as only children. Surprisingly, we are very close.
- I have internet friends (that I've never met in real life) that know more about my IF struggles than most of my real life friends.
- Pregnancy has given me a very loose tongue. I used to be very good at filtering what I thought and what actually came out. For some reason, these days if I think it, I say it. Not always good.
- I have several friends at work that are pregnant. We're at different stages - 36 weeks, 31 weeks, 28 weeks, 25 weeks (me), 18 weeks and 13 weeks - and I love when we compare symptoms. Of course all of them are singleton pregnancies, so they are amazed that I experience most things earlier than they do.
- I'm quite proud that I have only gaind 13 or 14 pounds during this pregnancy. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't super fit beforehand but I've seen every other woman in my family gain 40+ pounds with one child.
- I'm worried that once the boys arrive, Mr. MBC and I will have to give our dog to my mother in law. He was my dog when we got married, but Mr. MBC considers the dog ours at this point. The dog is very jealous of anything or anyone that takes our attention. Not sure how he will react to two babies.
- When I think about the bringing the boys home, I get excited and overwhelmed at the same time. I cannot wait to meet them and have them to take care of. But the idea of caring for 2 newborns is very overwhelming to me.
- Mr. MBC and I have decided that we are done with children. This pregnancy has not been the most pleasant experience for me and thus, not pleasant for Mr. MBC. Additionally, we would need the help of Dr. L again and that means a chance of multiples again. We are currently trying to decide how we are going to avoid.
- I've heard people talk about heartburn and indigestion, but never knew how intense it could be until I was pregnant. It's so bad that Mr. MBC has told me to stop saying "Excuse me" every time I burp. He said he's tired of hearing me say it.
- Mr. MBC and I have decided in the past two weeks that we need to finish out our bonus room upstairs. We've got a very small window of time to get it completed, but I'm confident that we'll get it done before the boys arrive.
- As I'm trying to come up with #15, one of the boys is going crazy in my ute. It's the best and craziest feeling all at once.
One day down, 29 to go.....

Update from latest OB visit....
This is about a week late, but I've been so busy at work and completely exhausted when I get home. I've been asleep on the couch by 9 every night this week. Mr. MBC has been great about keeping up with housework. I love that man!
I was orginally supposed to go to the OB today, but I've been battling cough and congestion for too long and called last week. Dr. H's office was great and got me in that day. After looking at my throat, listening to my chest and lungs, and asking about my symptoms Dr. H decided I have an upper respiritory infection and the beginning of bronchitis :( Fun times, huh? He gave me a prescription for a stronger antibiotic than last time - remember, I've been on a Z-Pak three times since October!! He also gave me a steroid shot to help keep my body into gear. He offered to give me a refill on some cough medicine, but last time I took it I felt so weird and out of place. He said to take Robitussin and Mucinex to help with the cough and congestion.
Fast forward to today - I'm done with my antibiotics and I'm still not feeling great. Still taking Mucinex and I guess it's doing it job because I am coughing up so much crap. It's kind of gross to tell you the truth. The worst part is the coughing. It's worse, not better. Add in the tightness and crampiness I've been feeling in my ute and my stomach just flat out hurts!
After Dr. H talked about my sickness, he decided to go ahead and do all pregnancy-related stuff as well. He said he wanted to save me a trip today - thanks Dr. H!!! First he measured my belly. I was right at 24 weeks, but my belly is measuring the same as a singleton pregnancy at 30 weeks. No wonder I feel so BIG! Then he pulled out the doppler to listen to the boys heart beats. I always hold my breath until I hear the "thud-thud-thud" of Baby Boy A's heart. Anyway, both boys heartbeats sounded really good and strong; they measured at 144 and 160 beats per minute. It's odd because Baby A has always had the lower heart rate and he's so calm. I feel him moving sometimes, but not a lot. Any time we've had an ultrasound, Baby A has been very chill - sleeping, sucking his thumb, just hanging out. But Baby B....oh my! He's all over the place, all the time! He's always had a high heart rate - so high that one of the nurses at Dr. H office was willing to bet money that he was a girl. I think a lot of it has to do with his position, but I can always feel him in my ribs and back. And when we've had ultrasounds, he's flipping and wiggling all around. Dr H has even commented on how he's "a mover and a shaker" because he always runs from the doppler. Dr. H has to chase him down. You can hear all the fluid moving around on the doppler as he's trying to escape the sound. It's so funny!
After the fun stuff, Mr. MBC and I asked Dr. H when we'd start talking about a date for my c-section. Originally, Dr. H had said if I made it to 36 weeks, he'd schedule me by week 37. Well, he's changed his mind but for good reason. Obviously, the longer the boys are in-utero the better in terms of development and size. Dr. H is very pleased with my gradual weight gain and how well my body is handling the twin pregnancy. Now he's thinking he will schedule the c-section right before 38 weeks. I know 7 days doesn't seem like a long time, but I can only imagine how huge I will be, how uncomfortable I will be and how ready I will be to meet the boys by that time.
The other good news from last week's appointment is that Dr. H isn't giving me any restrictions just yet. He said as long as I felt good and the boys were doing well, I can work as long as I feel like it. Which is a huge sigh of relief because my dad was very sick this time last year and I used a lot of my sick and personal days at the hospital. I've been stressed about the possibility of bed rest, unpaid leave, insurance, etc. Well, if everything goes according to my plan (a girl can dream, right?), I'll have around 20 sick days which covers the last month of school. And, if something else comes up before then I can borrow up to 15 days from the sick leave bank at work and I can have others donate sick days to me. This is great news because I get paid in full for sick days and Mr. MBC and I will not have to worry about insurance going up during this time. Needless to say, a huge weight has been lifted.
Unless I have any problems, I do not go back to see Dr. H until February 24th. This day will be action packed for me, Mr. MBC and the boys. I have my glucose test first thing that morning. In the hour wait between blood draws, I have a growth ultrasound to check the boys size. I cannot wait to see them again! Then that afternoon, Mr. MBC and I head back to Dr. H's office for our 4D ultrasound. We get to see the boys twice in one day :)
In unrelated news.....Mr. MBC and I have decided on a lot of stuff for the nursery and baby gear. I'll share with you guys very soon!

Unless I have any problems, I do not go back to see Dr. H until February 24th. This day will be action packed for me, Mr. MBC and the boys. I have my glucose test first thing that morning. In the hour wait between blood draws, I have a growth ultrasound to check the boys size. I cannot wait to see them again! Then that afternoon, Mr. MBC and I head back to Dr. H's office for our 4D ultrasound. We get to see the boys twice in one day :)
In unrelated news.....Mr. MBC and I have decided on a lot of stuff for the nursery and baby gear. I'll share with you guys very soon!

Grrrr....
So I was playing around with my blog design and layout. About 2 minutes into it, I realized that I have limited abilities while at work. I wanted to make my blog a little more "boyish" since I don't think the twins would appreciate pinks and oranges and flowers.
Well, guess what...I can't remember how to do anything. So for the time being, I'm going to have a plain background with blues and greens.
Oh well!
