    1.How many weeks/days along are you?
    6 weeks/4 days

    2. How are you feeling?
    Sick with a sinus infection, sinus headache, earache and nausea...fun!

    3. Upcoming appointments?Anything new?
    My U/S ultrasound on 2/4 went really well and showed two beans! Yay! So my RE has released me to an OB! Oh my! I do have to continue PIO until 3/4, but my E2 has been D/C'd

    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    Yes! I know it's dumb and all in my head, but I wear the same lucky socks (they are washed) to all my RE appointments. And the socks that I wore to my failed treatments have bad mojo attached to them so I can't wear those to things like my lab draws.

    1.How many weeks/days along are you?
    6 weeks/4-5 days

    2. How are you feeling?
    Intermittently nauseated and exhausted and always bloated.

    3. Upcoming appointments? Anything new?
    U/S this morning showed 2 hearts beating at 117bpm and 132bpm! I'm still waiting for the RE's office to call me back to let me know what to do next.

    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    Not really. It's too much work.

    1.How many weeks/days along are you? 11w1d with our b/g twins!

    2. How are you feeling?
    So tired, otherwise good. I'm waking up to pee at least once per night already, and most nights it takes me a while to fall back asleep. I shopped (and purchased) from the Gap Maternity sale at 4am last night (PSA- 50% maternity at gap right now! And free shipping on >$50!)

    3. Upcoming appointments?Anything new?
    Next U/S is Monday :) and we're announcing the babies to the world next week-- cannot wait to get this out in the open! The belly and boobs have POPPED-- and it's harder and harder to hide!

    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    A little-- I also wore the same 2 pairs of socks for all appts. Bees-iness socks (with bees) to u/s and bloodwork. Bright blue "Carpe the fuck out of this diem" socks for procedures :) my RE loved them both! I also say the same prayer every morning in the shower for healthy, strong, full-term babies. Oh, and I knock on wood a lot.

    11w3d. Feeling pretty good (I'm on vacation :-)) Still very burpy and have to pee a lot, but otherwise good. Upcoming appointment on Tuesday, my first with MFM. They want to do an u/s and evaluate whether to stay on or d/c lovenox. As for superstition, I've never been in the past but have been very much so with this pg. I wear the same sweatshirt to every appointment (crazy, I know) and I try to avoid doing the same things I did with our m/c, such as taking belly pics, shopping early for maternity clothes, etc.

    1.How many weeks/days along are you?
    Exactly 13 weeks today!

    2. How are you feeling?
    I have more energy and don't "feel" pregnant...which of course worries the heck out of me. I keep getting these pains and period like cramps. I'm hoping it's just everything expanding.

    3. Upcoming appointments?Anything new?
    I have a prenatal appt on Monday. I'm anxious to hear the heart beat for reassurance. We got our results from the nt scan and bloodwork back and all looked well. Overall low risk.

    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    Yep!! I have this sweater in 3 colors and I always wear one of them with a scarf to every appt. I feel like I haven't gotten bad news at any appt so I'll keep wearing them. Lol

    I was sick with a viral infection, and wasn't even to able to get out of bed for 2 days. the fever is gone, but I still have a cough. 

    3. Upcoming appointments?Anything new?
    I had an OB appt. yesterday. Before leaving for the appt. I went to use the bathroom and was bleeding really heavy. The OB did an ultrasound and said both babies look good and are really active( predicted one is a boy and the other one had its legs closed). She said I am at about a fingertip and it could go either way. I am on bed rest right now until further notice. I am only allowed to get up for bathrooms or take a shower. I am going back next week again for the follow up, and have a MFM appt in 2 weeks. 

    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    I am really superstitious but I try to wear my Luck socks to doc appts.

    I'm 11 weeks and 1 day. I have pretty much been super exhausted and nauseous since about 7 weeks. I also have horrific acne! I graduated from my RE last Monday, and I have my first regular ob appointment this Monday. My RE's office was super sweet and gave me a graduation certificate and a silver baby spoon as a gift.

    QOTW: I'm really not superstitious about anything.

    1.How many weeks/days along are you?
    11w1d 
    2. How are you feeling?Any symptoms or cravings?
    The past three days my morning sickness has been better but today me and dairy didn't mix. I'm exhausted when I do pretty much anything. I want all things fried... but have been eating pretty healthy. I draw the line at brown rice though. I tried to eat it again yesterday and its still gross... even with sour cream all over it. This winter has sucked and I have huge dry spots all over. Not pregnancy related but it still sucks. 
    3. Upcoming appointments?
    I go in for my NT scan this upcoming Thursday. We are going to announce that day also. I'm excited to not have to hide it anymore. 
    QOTW: Are you superstitious?
    Very. I have charms, bracelets, earrings and rings that I wear on a regular basis. I look like a gypsy. I also wore my "carpe" socks @katers79 to er and et. Both RE's loved them also.
