Hello! I'm 8w5d today. Still having some spotting, but it's darker so I'm not quite as freaked out. Had my second u/s on Monday and saw the baby had grown. The other reason I don't worry as much about the spotting right now is because I've had a hard time with morning sickness. I feel awful, but it's a nice reassurance between visits. RE is having me move on to an OB, so I wait 2 weeks for the next ultrasound.
Good luck to everyone! I still lurk on all the check-ins
QOTW: My favorite thing has been seeing the progression on the ultrasounds and seeing my DHs reaction. Although I'll admit, it's been nice taking advantage of things and making my DH do all the chores around the house

21 weeks 2 days with twin boys and getting uncomfortable but so grateful that I haven't had any major issues so far.
QOTW: The best part is always seeing the babies and since I see an MFM I get to see them every 3 weeks right now which is awesome. Now being able to feel them move and kick is pretty amazing.

I am 6w4d with TWO of the most beautiful little sweet peas I've seen. We got to the see the heartbeats yesterday and I don't think I'll ever forget how amazing seeing the flickers was.
I've had some light spotting, but they can't find any source for it, so my RE is chalking it up to twin pregnancy.
What I love about pregnancy so far? All two weeks that I've been here is seeing how happy it's made DH. He was not even sure he wanted children when we started dating and now he's sending me text messages about how he can't wait to love two more people in his life.
Hello! Currently 38 weekly and 2 days. We are just waiting for our little girl to make her arrival in the next week and a half (have to deliver on or before my due date due to high risk status).
QOTW: I have been fortunate to have a fairly easy pregnancy so far, so I have been able to enjoy much of the pregnancy. I have loved feeling her move around and knowing that she is doing well.
Married 10/06
Baby Girl "C" arrived on 10/07/14 (39 weeks, 6 days)
Fav Thing - everything - even when I've been nauseous, with headache and back pain. Reason? After the IF journey, it's very emotional knowing FET worked and being able to know what pregnancy feels like. Every day I am happy because this is exactly what I wanted for so long.
Hi ladies. So far everything is going well. On vacation now and I'm hanging in there. Long days and tons of walking. We just did out Facebook announcement and I thought I would share since I've mentioned my idea in a previous grad check in post. It came out just how we wanted. This is my favorite thing so far. Oh yeah. And we are team blue!
