Re: ***2nd Tri Check-in 4/8/14***
@Allison7, as always thank you for an awesome check-in!
I'm 21w3d today, we had our anatomy scan last week and we are double team PINK! We are super excited but I think my husband is slightly petrified of having two girls. I'm sure they will have him wrapped around their little fingers in no time. We're tossing around names and starting to get the nursery planned as well as registering since my mother has instilled a deadline of April 15th for the invites to go out. The twins still have their 3AM dance parties but I'm starting to feel them more during the day depending on what I'm doing.
QOTW: @ThoseThreeWords, I was joking with my husband the other day that my perfect day of food after the babies are here consists of eggs Benedict for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch and sushi with a glass of Pino Grigio for dinner. So I'm with you on the sushi and wine!
I really can't wait to see DH holding both of his girls, he is so excited to be a dad that it melts my heart when I hear him talk about it.

Had our monthly appointment last week and baby sounded great. Still Team Green but of course everyone is making their guesses. I found out at my appointment that I have to repeat the glucose tolerance test again at 28 weeks even though I already passed the early 3-hour test this time around. I thought it meant I was in the clear and didn't have to go through that yucky test again so I'm a little bummed about that. Just pray its still fine.

Hi ladies! I'll be 23 weeks on Thursday. And then it's just one week from V-day. Can't wait! Sunday, DH felt baby kick from the outside. That was a really special experience. Other than that, I have my GTT test at the 24 week mark and am pretty sure I'm going to fail since I'm insulin resistant to begin with. Just preparing myself!
QOTW: Probably reading to LO curled up on my lap. I picture her damp hair from her nighttime bath, smelling as sweet as any little one could, all snuggled up with sleepy eyes as I read some of her favorite books to her. These are some of my favorite memories with my mom and I can't wait to share them on the other side of things with our sweet baby girl!

Hey all,
24 weeks 2 days here. I guess I had "V-day" on Sunday?
I have my first appointment with my second new ob's office next Monday. I decided to definitely switch because the other hospital was just a deal breaker for me and I felt much more comfortable delivering at the hospital this new doctor's office has privileges at. I have also heard nothing but good things about this office, so hopefully I like it too!
QOTW: I just can't wait to have him in my arms and can't wait to be a family doing family things together! I am crazy and have already booked a photo shoot for November so I can get a few professional shots for his first Christmas card!

I'm 19w3d today, Due 8/30. Going for the 20 week U/S and Level 2 U/S Friday. if the U/S doesn't show anything serious then I think that's all the further we'll take the genetic testing. Team Green for now.
I think I felt the bean move Sunday night. But I haven't felt it since so I'm not sure. It felt much too close to the surface to be gas or other stuff moving around in there. And of course it was in the middle of the night and then I couldn't sleep afterward! I was a total zombie on Monday.

We welcomed the most beautiful baby girl into the world on September 11, 2014!
I am glad to see such positive news in everyone's replies. I have an appointment on Thursday and I meet another of the doctor's in the practice so I have a list of questions already. I feel like time is going by pretty slowly between appointments so I am ready for that to change. I have my home doppler and I am still getting a heartbeat so that's good.
Also went to my first baby stores this weekend. I avoided them while going through treatments but finally went with a neighbor of mine who is also pregnant. (She's 4 weeks ahead of me, its kinda crazy cause we have had 5 babies born in the neighborhood in the last year and its just a circle of maybe 45 homes) I felt like I really didn't belong in the baby stores. Maybe its just because IF was soo emotionally draining, who knows. I did buy myself a pregnancy journal, so maybe one day LO will enjoy reading that.
QOTW: Non baby related-Having the occasional alcoholic drink and being able to go on rollercoasters. I am so grateful I am pregnant though. Baby related-Just like most of you seeing DH with him/her. I can't wait to see how my furbabies react too.
I hope everyone has a great week!

8/5/14: Grace was born!
I have my a/s on Thursday and I'm so excited to see this little baby. Last u/s was at 9 weeks so I'm sure quite a bit has happened in there. I'm so ready to get our nursery going so I hope this baby isn't shy! I have all our furniture in the hallway but before we can put that together we need new carpet and before that we have to paint and I need a sex to pick a color... most of my friends have guessed girl so we'll see if they are right!
My mom is so kind to tell me how I look pregnant. I think since I'm overweight this round belly just makes me self conscious. Not that my mom is being negative in anyway... she is so excited to be a grandma!
QOTW: Not having to pee 100 times a day! And I can't wait to meet this LO!
Edit to add one more thing!
still can't feel the twins move which I am totally ok with for now. Everything else is status quo. I'm too busy to be as nervous w this pregnancy so I'm actually enjoying it.
QOTW: looking forward to sushi and wine for sure! Baby related - I'm looking forward to two babies sleeping through the night in their cribs and outta my room (applies to my son as well who sleeps between my husband and I which we don't like for baby safety and marital harmony reasons!)
I will be 27 weeks tomorrow! Things are going well. I'm back to sleeping normal (tossed my pregnancy pillow) and I have my GD test this week.
Today is also a fab day because my first little IVF girl turned three today! I cannot believe it's been three years since I've given birth to her. The time goes really fast you ladies! Soak it up!
QOTW: I'm actually excited to see DD as a big sister. She is very excited and asked me today how many days there were until July. I also can wait to be able to bend over and pick up DDs toys comfortably without my stomach in the way!
QOTW: I'm looking forward to sleeping on my tummy! Not to mention 12w away from work as a nurse. Some days I wanna pull my hair out! Not to mention september and october are some busy baby-having seasons I wont have to deal with at work!! IF still gets to me in L&D!

QOTW: I'm really looking forward to meeting the little guy and just teaching him and watching him interact with my husband. I think it will be so cute. Non baby related after he's born, I cannot wait to hit the ice again and figure skate! Adult national's is this week and I'm feeling a little bummed, but my goal is to be there next year!
I've also been having the weirdest pregnancy dreams about giving birth. Last night I had a dream that I gave birth way too early and DH had to put the babies back in there. So odd!!
So happy to see everything is going great for everyone!
