2. FTM or STM?

3. Rants/Raves?

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing?

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones?

I added some questions and have a question for anyone who takes part in these..how would ya'll feel about doing two separate check-ins, one for pregnancy and one for mom's whose babies are already here?

1. How far along are you and what are babies' sex if you know?/ How old are your babies? 22 weeks/ identical girls

2. FTM or STM? ftm

3. Rants/Raves?rant- my roommates never do their dishes and I am starting to get really pissed. pregnancy related rave-my mom just bought them their outfits to go home in and they are so cute! 

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing? I feel pretty good because I went into this pregnancy expecting to feel horrible. I have pain from SPD, heartburn, and eternal stuffy/bloody nose but it's all really bearable so far.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones? I go to the MFM on Wednesday. Hoping my cervix has not changed!

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? Feel free to share a picture. I'm gonna do bohemian/hippy type stuff. I don't have anything picked out because we won't have a nursery for a while since we have no spare bedroom. But that is my plan eventually.

2. FTM or STM? STM

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing? I'm feeling great for the most part. Just tired here and there. No symptoms.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones? No appointments until next week. We started cleaning out our spare room for the babies !!

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? Feel free to share a picture. We haven't decided on a theme yet. We are waiting until we know the sexes.

I am 35 weeks and 4 days and carrying 2 sweet baby boys!

2. FTM or STM?

S+TM... have a 12 yo DD and 4 yo DS

3. Rants/Raves?

Rave- just got a weekend with my amazing BFF! Sister comes this week and mom next week!!

Rant- Having awful pregnancy induced carpal tunnel. Had it a few times over the pregnancy but it has been NONSTOP for the last 12 hours... including while just sitting here:(

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing?

Babies are good. Lots more movement the last two days- which is nice cause the last two weeks or so, there hasn't been much. At my US last week- they were measuring 5 lb 7 oz and 5 lb 9 oz.

 Carpal tunnel, difficulty sleeping and super tired.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones?

An apt this coming Thursday for NST/check. An ultrasound on Friday and my FINAL appt next Monday!!! Induction scheduled for next Friday February 6!!!

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? Feel free to share a picture.

Blues/greys. Nautical:)

I dont post much but Im in a posting type mood so here it goes:

1. How far along are you and what are babies' sex if you know?/ How old are your babies?

28 weeks B/G twins.  

2. FTM or STM?  BTDT Mom:  Currently have a 4yo and 2yo.

3. Rants/Raves?  

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing?

Mobility is a huge issue for me but feeling okay other than that.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones?

23 week U/S - Babes measured an average of 1.5lbs a piece.   I have a big U/S tomorrow and I am curious as heck on how they are doing and their size since they were so big last time.

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? 

Whatever I have left over from my other kids.   Im not a theme person.

I'm supposed to be doing this every week so I am going to try and be better about remembering to post it, lol.

1. How far along are you and what are babies' sex if you know?/ How old are your babies? I have di/di girls and they will be 8 months in a week and a half.

2. FTM or STM? BTDT mom (DD1 will be 5 in March.  DS just turned 3).

3. Rants/Raves? I have been so sick the past week.  Congestion, headache, throat hurting, post nasal drip, dizzy, throwing up, and more (not all at the same time).  My DH was across the country on a business trip from Weds-this am, so until today, I haven't been able to get actual real rest to heal!  Hoping one more good night of sleep does the job.

Rave: While DH was gone, my mom helped a lot, and my 15 y/o cousin came to stay with us.  When DH got home, even though he had just gotten off a redeye, he stayed up with the kids so I could go nap.  I don't know how people have four kids and/or twins without support!

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing? I think they are teething.  We have had to play with sleep training some because they were getting up at night a couple times after STTN for months.  But during the day, where they are normally angels, they have been a bit whiny and fussy.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones? They are doing great with solids.  They eat breakfast and lunch now, + nursing 4-5x and a bottle once.  Audrey is super close to crawling.

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? Feel free to share a picture. It did not really have a theme; it was just mismatched and girly :-).  This photo is from before they were born.  Now, both cribs are in the same corner (like in an L shape) and a lot of the frames are no longer on the walls.  My thumbnail image looks broken, but if you click on it, you should be able to see it.

I like these checkins.  I think doing them separately would be fun so the questions could be a bit more specific.

. How far along are you and what are babies' sex if you know?/ How old are your babies? I am 12 weeks 2 days today.

2. FTM or STM? STM

3. Rants/Raves? None that I can think of.

4. How are you feeling? What symptoms are you having? / How are your twins doing? I'm feeling great for the most part, but a little tired. I could sleep all day. Eating too much at once causes me to sick.

5. Any appointments/updates/milestones? I had MFM appt. last friday and everything looked good. They want to keep an eye on the distance between the two babies. One is really low and the other is higher up. I have an OB appt. on the 5th and another MFM on the 20th. 

6. What is your nursery theme if you have one? Or what was your nursery theme? Feel free to share a picture. We haven't decided on a theme yet. and we have a two bedroom apartment and are looking into moving to a 3bdrm.

1. 23w5d, di/di boys
2. FTM
3. Rants/raves: I finally caved and bought new bras-so much more comfortable!
4. Symptoms: holy heartburn!!
5. Any appointments/updates/milestones: moving and kicking like crazy! It's just amazing.
6. Nursery theme: it started out as a color, greens/browns...but has turned into a jungle theme. It's fun!

I think separate would be a nice touch
Thanks @breezyweezer‌ for doing this!

FTM. 35w1d. Di/di girls. Awful heartburn daily since 5 mths. Have c section scheduled feb 18th - we'll see if I make it. Lots of movement all through the day, so quiet at night that I could forget I'm pregnant. Having weekly nst/bpp, checking weights again Wed. I prefer posts separately. As for nursery, sage green walls with owl decor.

@vpine and @rosikiwi- I have had the WORST heartburn this entire pregnancy. Downing Tums like crazy and still had nights I would be woken up out of a dead sleep choking on heartburn kickback in my mouth (TMI- sorry!)

Started taking generic OTC Prilosec (Omeprazole) two weeks ago and NOT one day of heartburn since!!! I have even started eating pizza/spaghetti sauce again with no issue!!! You may want to try it! Life is SOOOO much better!
