Yeah those light pink car seats are going to be a brown mess in no time. That fabric looks very hard to clean when it comes to spit up or blow outs.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the carseats. I find them ugly and impractical with how dirty they are bound to get.
I am scared for her and the babies too. I hope things turn out okay and she has two healthy baby girls. At one point she mentioned down syndrome could be a possibility with the enlarged ventricles but I have to wonder if she was withholding other possible diagnoses because it could actually be something much "worse". I worked in a pediatric hospital unit and the range of genetic and chromosomal issues many of these kids had was astounding. It was so hard on the families and the poor kiddos. I really hope this is not the case for them...they already have their hands so full.
This gets into some serious ethical questions for some people, but if I was implanting embryos, I'd want them genetically tested first. If I was to just get pregnant naturally I'd just take whatever child I get, but I'd want to make sure the embryos are perfectly healthy if I was implanting adopted ones (and already had 5 kids to care for). I know other illnesses, birth defects, and disorders can pop up still but I'd want to reduce the risk as much as possible.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
They normally are all tested. However, they are Christian so they may have opted to use an agency that simply matches with embryos since Christian's believe life starts at conception, all embryos should have a chance regardless of disability, etc. Which I don't disagree with but it does open you up to the risk. And I did some research and it seems like the biggest risk with the enlarged ventricles is hydrocephalus which can vary sooo much in severity. One of my professor's sons has hydrocephalus. And he is a completely typical child intellectually and physically, no delays at all, but he has to have brain surgery pretty often because his shunt gets infected or stops working. But some kids with hydrocephalus are hugely effected and have major major delays. So that would make sense when she says they won't know until the baby is born.Tiger27 wrote:I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates the carseats.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I can only imagine from what I went through. I just had my baby 3 months ago and he had a 1:50 chance of Down syndrome. When he was born they rushed him away to check him. I didn't get to hold him right away because if he did have it they didn't want me to see it right away? I guess they wanted to break the news to me in a calmer way? Idk. Point is that was a scary moment for us. I can only imagine what people go through who are told their baby has Down syndrome at birth.Tiger27 wrote:I am scared for her and the babies too.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
In her last update she said that her next appointment is Tuesday, so today, and I am so anxious for her to update on instagram or something and see if anything has changed.

Since Angie is already a Down syndrome mama, I bet she would handle it pretty well.Blackswan wrote:I can only imagine from what I went through.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I don't necessarily think that would make it easier initially. Yes, in the long run, she will be more prepared and adjusted. But if immediately after birth they are rushing your baby away from you to run tests and not telling you anything, that is really traumatic. And it is still an adjustment of what you had imagined the future to look like. Plus, it sounds like there are other concerns about the babies such as size and the brief scare with the heart, so even if she has down syndrome, there could be more serious health issues.CallieT wrote:Since Angie is already a Down syndrome mama, I bet she would handle it pretty well.Blackswan wrote:I can only imagine from what I went through.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
Great. Another vlog where Angie complains/whines and rubs her belly whenever CR points the camera her direction even though she's not the focus of that clip. Her "look at me! look at me!" is getting on my nerves.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
It's always interesting to me how different people can watch the same vlog and walk away with two very different opinions. I don't see that attitude from her at all. But I guess if we all saw things the same way the world would be a boring place.Blackswan wrote:Great.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
Is there any particular reason you don't like her? It's interesting to me how people can have such a strong dislike for someone yet still follow them & keep up with what's happening.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I like her. I just don't like the pregnant her. I use to watch every vlog and was happy for them when they announced she was pregnant. But then all she did was complain. Hopefully she goes back to her old self after the twins are born because homegirl is acting like she's Beyoncé with her twin pregnancy.prettypink-dreamer wrote:Is there any particular reason you don't like her?

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I feel for her though. Yes, she does complain a lot but this pregnancy has been really awful for her. She had the really intense morning sickness for almost the entire first half of her pregnancy (and because of the extra hormones since its twins, it is actually more intense than with a singleton pregnancy) and has mentioned she still feels nauseous most of the time. But then because its a twin pregnancy, she really didn't even get that time in the second trimester where you aren't too uncomfortable and have some more energy, by the time she was into her second trimester, she was already pretty big. So I feel like she's spent pretty much the entire last eight months either being so nauseous and sick she can't eat and feeling huge, tired, and in pain. And to top it all off, right here towards the end she is finding out that the girls might not be doing too well. And she has five other kids to chase around. I feel like it'd take a saint not to complain all the time. I'd probably complain 24/7 too lol. And I would also want some props and attention for growing two human beings at the same time while being horribly ill for the entire pregnancy while trying to raise 5 other kids.
Re: ThisGatheredNest
She had those 5 kids when they decided to implant the 2 embryos. I completely understand she feels like crap but it just seems she's putting everything on CR simply because she can not because it's necessary. Idk it's just how I see it. Like I said I hope she goes back to her normal self once she's settled with the twins. I love watching Rosie and the boys. But she makes it unbearable for me to watch.literallywhat wrote:I feel for her though. Yes, she does complain a lot but this pregnancy has been really awful for her.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
They don't vlog a whole lot (only on days CR is home from work/weekends) so I still don't see how she's "putting it all on CR." Even in the vlogs we've seen she's been out running errands and spending time with her bigger girls.Blackswan wrote:She had those 5 kids when they decided to implant the 2 embryos.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
They still seem to do alot with the kids, so her complaing doesn't bother me as much. She also doesnt hide the fact that CR does more know and she was very open about her mother in law coming to stay with them etc... For instance, Michelle Pearson has more help raising her kids on a day to day basis than anyone I have ever known or watched on youtube but she still complains and constantly says she is a "one woman show" and is "surthriving" She has NO idea how good she has it (I use her as an example because she also was pregnant with twin girls)
The fact that she almost never complained before this pregnancy makes me think she will go back to herself when they are born.

Re: ThisGatheredNest
I don't understand the 'putting it all on CR' as if he isn't a parent as well? Angela's heavily pregnant with twins - two weeks away from giving birth and one of the babies could be born with complications. If I was under those conditions, I'd expect my spouse to step up and be a father to his kids as well. Angela rarely complains and when she does it's about being tired or nauseous and she just says it once or twice during a 10 minute vlog, that's less than 10 seconds of her complaining which she she has every right to do. She rarely if ever snaps at her kids or CR, she doesn't whine for minutes in the vlogs - heck, she barely appears in the vlogs! It's not like she neglects her kids while pregnant, she's still with them, probably off camera because she doesn't wanna be filmed (according to her sister's vlogs) and is most likely suffering with some self hate about her body.
