Multiples Check in. 6/27 - 6/28

keshakdavis

Happy weekend everyone. Please use this thread to check in and let us all know how things are going with your pregnancy.

1. How far along are you and what fruit are you? 2. How was your week, as far as symptoms goes?
3. What are your weekend plans?
4. Name your most annoying pregnancy system?
5. Do you have names picked out?
6. Are you working or staying home after giving birth?
7. Have you made any baby purchases?

GTKY - Name your due date. Have you connected with anyone due the same date as you?

Here's mine
1. I'm 11w exactly and our two little ones are the size of limes
2. Week was good. Became much better around Wednesday due to my appetite finally returning to normal. I wasn't thinking about food 24/7.
3. Today I'm going to the wedding of a really good friend if mine who doesn't know I'm pregnant. Kind of debating if I should tell her today. I don't want to steal her thunder. I'm close to her family and guests as well.
4. Probably the peeing in the middle of the night. I'm the most thirsty early in the morning and late at night which means I'm in the bathroom a lot.
5. No names picked out but we are compiling a list.
6. Not completely sure although I think staying home would be best otherwise I'd be working to pay for childcare. I'm considering eventually homeschooling as well.
7. No baby purchases yet but I feel like I'm so behind and need to start. Especially since I hear some women get put on bed rest super early. I'm hoping that doesn't happen so I'll have time. Plus my husband gets back from deployment in December and the plan was for me have our apartment set up before he gets back. We moved out of military housing and in with my parents while he's away. So we will see how that all works out.

I'm due Jan 16th and no I haven't connected with anyone due on that day. I know there are some but it's only been conversations on this board.

1. 12 weeks 4 days. Babies are the size of plums.
2. The week has been ok. Symptoms seem to be lessening a little, but I'm still not very hungry for anything yet.
3. No big weekend plans really. Need to go shopping with my oldest daughter because she needs new shoes
4. With 3 little ones already, I'm not loving the exhaustion.
5. I do, but my husband won't discuss until I'm further along.
6. Staying home, but that's what I do now.
7. Nope! Making lists though

GTKY - due date is January 5, but dr would like for me to not go past 38 weeks which is Dec 22.

1. 12w 6d, babies are plums!
2. My symptoms are improving, had 3 days in a row without vomiting!
3. Got my hair done yesterday, had a burger with a girlfriend, went to church and out to dinner with my husband. Today we're doing as little as possible.
4. Vomiting and exhaustion.
5. I'm married to a very traditional Greek and babies take the names if the grandparents. So first born boy/girl will be after his parents.
6. I'm a dietitian but I'm on short contracts, I have no idea what I will do once I have my babies.
7. Nothing yet, have been looking though.

GTKY: due date is 4th of Jan, but Dr said she's going to deliver as soon as babies are big enough which will likely be mid Dec.

@keshakdavis how are you going not having your husband with you? I hope your parents are super supportive and taking care of you!

@emmalc16 it's really tough. During the week I'm super busy with work and my long commute but I think about it more on weekends. I'm in grad school too so a lot of things keep me busy but I miss the emotional connection and touch. Him being here to share in this with me since it's our first together. My parents are really supportive but I don't like being s burden so I use this group as much as possible. It truly helps me through my days. Thank you so much for asking. I'm over here crying now because I really needed to be asked about me.

1. 9w4d. Southern pecans (I've been using the ovia app for the fruit. Thebump says olives and I can't possibly think of olives right now. Thanks morning sickness...)
2. This week was not fun symptomatically-speaking. I went to the zoo with my bro-in-law and it was about 96 degrees. I thought I was going to die! And then we barbecued with my husband's siblings. And I wasn't able to explain why I was so miserable.
3. We have an engagement party to attend tomorrow.
4. The all day nausea and the severe bloating - I look like I'm at 7 months!
5. No names yet.
6. I'll be staying home.
7. No purchases. We will probably only get the necessities before the babies come and maybe just pick out some other stuff. My family doesn't bring anything home until after birth.

GTKY - January 27th. We haven't yet discussed how my doctor figures out delivery timing. I haven't connected with anyone with my due date.
