Hi @pauljl my name is Callie, and it's a great choice. It was my southern grandmother's name before I got it.
23w+2d with twin boys (Andrew and Matthew) and we are doing great! Sarah's measuring at about 28 weeks and we were told this week she will really start to pop out! Starting to feel more kicks from baby A. Baby b is in a much harder position to tell of movements.
Sarah's started having trouble sleeping and getting very emotional easily. She cried at the end of a football game on tv in which WVU won at that! Lol.
Dr. Appointment next week.
Qotw: We will be in WV for our first baby shower. It will be Nov. 1st. We aren't allowed to travel after thanksgiving so we wanted to do it while she can still move!
Not much to report here. I have been feeling good my pregnancy app says this tends to be when you feel the best during pregnancy out of the first tri crappy feeling and before the 3rd tri uncomfortableness. I have my final cervical check scheduled next Wednesday unless the schedulers messed up in which case I should have one at 22w and 24w then other then my 17P injections I go on to a normal appointment schedule.
QOTW: Other then working I have no Halloween plans this year. We did carve pumpkins with R's 3 year old niece this past weekend but the pumpkins haven't even made it to the front yard yet.

Feeling pretty good. Thanks to @wishiwaspreggo 's glowing description, I am now the proud owner of a snoogle. It has been a real game changer. I think I am sleeping better now than pre pregnancy!
We went over our wish list with or doula last week and that was very hard... Pretty emotional. I still can't really imagine being the one in labor! It is going to be very hard emotionally.
QOTD: I love Halloween! We are so excited to pass out candy at our new house. I am going to go as a man with a beer belly. It's gonna be pretty amazing.

Hi, it's so great to hear that everyone is doing well
Can we be added to the rosta, please? Our little girl is due Jan 3rd.
Not much going on at this end. My blood pressure continues to bounce between low and 'regular' but we are otherwise continuing to have a healthy pregnancy. We've attended a couple of parentcraft classes and are starting to let news of our pregnancy travel outside of immediate family (although we are still not Facebook public) We've had messages of congratulations coming in, offers of saved baby clothes and in a couple weeks, my father will be in the UK and will visit us to have dinner one night. It's all very real at the moment. Yes, I still have to take moments to shake off the tension I've been holding onto for half of this pregnancy but we're getting there.
Paperwork finally came through from HR & I will officially be starting maternity leave on Dec 28th but, since I have almost six weeks holiday/time-in-lieu to use up before then, I will be off work in about three weeks
We don't usually make such a big deal about Halloween. But since A is insisting that I stop cycling to work now (and I know better than to argue with her) I will be taking the bus and that means I have the opportunity to get creative. We were thinking something with a 'mummy' theme...
