Re: MoMs check in 04/03/14
How far along are you measuring? Not sure yet, our first in-office appt with our midwife is next week. I can feel my uterus starting to peek out of the pubic bone though.
Team/Type? di/di twins, no team yet! We will probably be Team Green though.
Any updates? Not really since last week. I am definitely changing shape, and am gathering more bulk around my middle. We are holding out to 12w to announce it at work but my co-worker today told me that it's probably going to be fairly obvious by then! We'll see.
When is your next appt? We have an u/s and appt with the RE on Monday, and then the midwife on Tuesday next week at 10w6d.
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color?
I'm not sure! I suspect they will have some, but I also suspect that based on @healz413's baby pics, and photos of our donor that their hair will be blonde in early childhood and will darken up later in life - so if they do have hair I am expecting it to be fair and sparse.

How far along are you measuring? 39 w
Team/Type? Mo/di team pink
Any updates? Feeling huge. Back pain getting worse and work is getting harder. Shower is next weekend and I'm so excited!
When is your next appt? Just had OB and US this morning, go back in two weeks.
QOTW- I think they will, brown hair.
How far along are you measuring? 6 weeks ahead, so 32 weeks
Team/Type? Di / di Team Purple
Any updates? Took and failed my 3 hour glucose for the second time...so took a diabetes class at the MFM yesterday, checking blood sugars 4x per day....not fun, but hopefully it makes some healthy babies. I have to admit I cried when I failed...even knowing I was predisposed due to PCOS and previous insulin resistance...just dealing with it now.
When is your next appt? Growth scan at MFM on the 9th, and dr appointment with MFM on the 10th to check on the gd and sugars now that I am monitoring.
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? I think the babies will have hair...I know I did, and I believe DH did as well...and I am going to go with light blond hair...I can't wait to know what these babies look like!
How far along are you measuring? at last ultrasound, they were measuring a few days ahead
Team/Type? di/di, boy/girl!
Any updates?
When is your next appt? Thursday is the "big" ultrasound - we will tell friends after that
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? Hm. I'm brunette but my husband is blonde, so who knows!
How far along are you measuring? Not sure…I think a week and a half ago I was measuring 33/34.
Team/Type? di-di, pink
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? Yes, since my other two were born with hair. Both had pretty dark hair, actually, upon coming out, but now my boy is a total blondie, and my DD's hair is light brown.
28 weeks, yay third trimester!
How far along are you measuring?
35 weeks, holy cow.
Team/Type?
Team Pink x 2 Di/Di
Any updates?
Both babies are breech now and are flipping adorbs. They nuzzle their heads together while sucking their thumbs (and kicking each other but ya know). A weighs 2.5 lbs and B weights 2.75 lbs!
When is your next appt?
Tuesday, regular baby doc appt.
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color?
The tech says she saw a little hair at the last ultrasound, which seems crazy to me! Unless the lab accidentally switched the embryos our girls will both have blonde hair like mama and daddy
Any updates? Hmm, not sure. No more bleeding and babies are kicking me like crazy. Can already see on the outside! Surprised since apparently they both have anterior placentas, but I love the kicks.
How far along are you measuring? Not sure
Team/Type? Blue, Di/Di
Any updates? 3+ weeks of hospital bed rest with no end in sight. One of the doctors here wanted to send me home because I have had no changes in my cervix in 3 weeks (holding steady at 7mm) and they have gotten my contractions under control with Procardia every 3 hours. The lead doctor, however, vetoed that today. He doesn't feel comfortable letting me leave because so much can still happen in the next few weeks. (My hospital won't deliver me until 34 weeks, so they are worried I'll get home (hour & a half away) and we could wind up with a problem if I go into labor so far from this hospital. I had high hopes of getting an early release, but now, we are tabling that until at least 32 weeks & we'll revisit. I understand, but it still made me sad to have a glimmer of hope and now it's squelched.
When is your next appt? Everyday is an appointment at this point! I'll have another growth scan & cervical length check on April 10th.
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? I think it's definitely possible. My daughter was born with a full head of hair, so I would guess it could be similar with the twins.
Team/type? Purple di/di
Updates? Appt yesterday put both babies at 1 lb. Got the rest of the views they needed for a/s.
Next appt? May 2 - growth scan, glucose screening
QotW? - DD had a lot of dark hair and it was such a shocker. I still vote for baldies so if we do get hair, it will be a nice surprise.
How far along are you measuring? 29 weeks
Team/Type? Team Blue! di/di
Any updates? Baby A is measuring at 55% and Baby B is at 75%!!! The doctor said I grow big babies. He is also keeping an eye on one of Baby B's kidneys as it's slightly dialated. Hopefully this cures itself. As for me, I feel very pregnant, pee all the time, sleeping is not comfortable, and I need to slow down in terms of daily activity. But overall it's been a healthy pregnancy so far.
When is your next appt? 4/11 @ MFM for a cervix check and u/s
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? DS had light hair when he was born but it's dark brown now. I would love for one to have dark and one to have light. Will make them much easier to tell apart!!!
How far along are you measuring? I'm guessing around 36 at this point
Team/Type? di/di team blue
Any updates? My doctor told me to work as long as possible and as long as I would like which was much different than what the nurse said 2 weeks prior. It was nice to hear it from him and be reassured.
When is your next appt? April 15th for a growth ultrasound
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? I was a baldie and my husband had hair. At our last growth ultrasound they saw some hair though
Not sure how big I'm measuring but typically 7-9 weeks ahead.
This past week was exhausting. I went in Tues for a NST and was contracting every 2 min....sent me to L&D where they were starting to become more intense. Admitted over night and given steroids, procardia, the whole 9 yards. No change in cervix over night so more steroids was sent home. Had an appt yesterday and cervix is still the same (only slightly dilated) and contractions are mild and less regular. I think we are ok for now, but it was def a wake-up call. I didn't feel ready, but now I've had time to process and realize they could come any time.
Next appt on Mon with OB and for NST.
DD had a full head of dark hair, so that wouldn't surprise me. For some reason I haven't pictured them with that much hair though. I just realized that.
How far along are you measuring? 24 weeks
Team/Type? g /g di/ di
Any updates? Back on home bedrest since last Tuesday and at least until next Friday. I feel like I've adjusted a bit more to the uncertainty of this placenta previa situation. The girls are doing OK and we have a plan to deal with it financially.
When is your next appt? Wednesday A/S; Thursday regular OB
QOTW- Do you think your babies will have hair when they're born? If so, what color? - no idea!
How far along are you measuring? No idea, but I want to compare my bump photos with those from DD. I bet I'm measuring 15-16 weeks. Baby A was measuring 3 days ahead and Baby B was measuring right on at my 12-week scan.
Team/type? Di/Di, Nothing yet, but the tech said she "wouldn't be surprised" if they were both boys based on the nub theory. My husband would be thrilled. Eek!
Any updates? Had a great 12-week scan lastFriday, everything looked great! Now just waiting for the bloodwork to confirm. Babies were active but sat still for their measurements
When is your next appt? Not until May 1 with my OB and then May 16 for my anatomy scan
QOTW- No clue on hair, but DD was almost a baldie with dirty blonde hair so we will see!
