I sure miss the ladies on this board!  I still peek in every week!

I am 19 weeks today!  Over half way for twin pregnancy.  Counting the days down till Viability day.  I am feeling... big.  My bump is growing out of control. I have an OB and MFM appointment next week and I am curious to see how far ahead I am measuring.  I can't bend over to tie my shoes anymore etc.

Hope everyone is having a happy and heathy pregnancy.

Hi there!

16 wks yesterday! Not much to report. Went to browse at BRU on the weekend and I still can't believe I'm having a baby Praying hard for all my friends here. You ladies take care and I think of you often.

Hi Ladies - 

I am 20 weeks, 3 days!  Feeling ok but definitely starting to move more slowly (nurse said this was normal).  A little shocked at my weight gain since last appt, but the Dr said it was fine since I had gained so little up to this point (though it still freaks me out a little).  Up through 16 weeks I had gained 3 lbs.  Between 16 week appt and 20 week yesterday I gained a whopping 6!  I just have to remember this is what I am supposed to be doing.

Hope everyone is doing well.  I think of you all so often and wish you lots of success!

Thanks, @tlc35‌! I am getting used to the idea that I'm preggers but definitely in denial about no longer being on this board! It's a jungle out there...!

I'm now 4.5 weeks, HCG at 13 DPO was 97 and all my blood work was fine except for slightly elevated white blood cells (could be a minor bacterial or viral thing, although urine was clear of infection). I don't go for a proper prenatal visit until 8 weeks, so October 3.

Im terms of symptoms, i have occasional, light, PMS-style cramps, acne (was worse last week) and gas... Very sexy. Also, I'm choosing to keep caffeine under 250mg, which is NOT fun. Otherwise happy and with permanently crossed fingers and toes that it sticks.

Now I have to catch up on everyone here... Are there photos from the big wedding yet?

Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying lots of wine and caffeine on my behalf!

Hi gals! Had a scare with some bleeding couple weeks back;( hospital said I was just dehydrated. So off I went to Chicago with DH for Labor Day. Seen bleeding and ended up in l&d there, but good news it was from bv infection from cerclage and uti. So two antibiotics later we are doing good and ill girl is moving all over now! I'm 21 weeks! Over half way baked! I probably will go earlier like ds though;)! I post bump pics on pg after 35! Cause I'm brave or crazy! Lol...I'm still lurking and rooting for all you ladies! Good luck!

Hello ladies

I'm anxiously awaiting my Verifi & nxtPanel results.  The OB's office should already have them according to the lab's website, but her online system isn't showing it and I'm too scared to call.  I'll call on Thursday if I haven't heard by then.

I'm starting to recover from the crappy feeling of the first trimester I think?  (Yay!).  I went for a walk in the park for the first time in weeks yesterday.  It felt like a hike up an incline.  My appetite has increased quite a bit over the past few days and the bloating is down a lot.  If I wear form fitting clothes, a small bump is visible.

FX for more BFPs on this board!

Hey everyone! No news to post here, but just wanted to say hi!! I wish the morning (all-day) sickness would let up some, I'd love to get back to swimming/water aerobic classes @ the gym! I miss it! I have my maternity bathing suit all ready to go. Other than that, all is well with everything! I hope I follow in @NeonNoon's footsteps and start feeling better some time next week!  I look forward to hearing about your results NN!

Samuelismomma I have had BV twice  this pregnancy and I am fed up with it! Sorry you have had to deal with it!

Hi all! I'm 10 weeks now. The fatigue is starting to improve. By that, I mean not EVERY day makes me feel exhausted, but around half of them still do. I have hyperemesis gravidarum and it takes 3 different meds (one of them 4x per day) to control my symptoms. But I stopped losing weight, so that's a WIN. We have the nuchal cord screening on Sept 26th.

Also, my earlier suspicions that Kate Middleton was copying me have been confirmed.

Hi all:

So happy to see all of these updates! As for me, I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow, which floors me. Although, today while on the elevator at work, a random woman looked at me and said "GURRRRL! Any day now, right?" Uh, no, random elevator woman, more like 7 weeks away (God willing). So that bummed me out, especially given that I weigh roughly 5 pounds more than I did pre-pregnancy. I thought I was looking pretty svelte (well, a rotund svelte), but I must have been kidding myself. 

In other news, I failed my one-hour glucose test (by 6 measly points), and had to take the 3 hour which, I must say, was not very fun. However, GD would be much less fun, so hopefully I passed the 3-hour--still waiting on the results from that. But all is well with Mr. Nugget, who weighs about 4 lbs and is in the 63% for growth. I saw him yesterday--he is head down now (hooray, chances for VBAC are still there!), and the docs are happy with how I am doing. BP is still good, in spite of all the stress I have been under, and everything else is going along pretty well. I cannot complain.

My son just started his special needs toddler playgroup, and the teacher has already told us he will be at the top of his class--ha ha! What he lacks in social nuances (well social nuances for a 2.5 year old) he makes up for in intelligence. It amazes me, the stuff he knows. He's a tiny sponge right now, which we are really enjoying. He points to my stomach and says "baby!" I'm really hoping he and his little brother will be best friends. I never pictured me having two boys, but I'm excited for them to have each other.

Otherwise, that is it. Haven't done a damn thing in the nursery (we remodeled our bedroom and have been putting in hardwood floors throughout our upstairs), so that is next on the list of Stuff We Have to Do Now. Etsy is my friend.

I hesitate to update because I'm so early in the pregnancy! I'm 4w3d today. The only symptoms I feel are occasional period-like cramps and the fatigue is just starting. I wish I could fast forward to early October, which is when my first appointment with the CNM is, because I'm dying to see the little gummy bear on u/s and confirm a heartbeat. 

Thinking of you ladies!

Ha! I doubted you, but you were right!
