**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)

How far along are you? 12 weeks (+ 2d)
How big is baby? A plum
Upcoming appointments this week? NT scan in 2 days!
Any new symptoms or changes? Lightning crotch for the first time yesterday - mentioned on the Symptoms thread. Fun times.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I took my first bump pic yesterday and shared it with DH and BFF. They say a bump is definitely there! I'm excited to start doing that on a weekly basis. I'm currently doing a side-by-side of sucking in gut and relaxed gut, namely because I know the bump is still part-bloat but I'm at least now convinced it's not fat. My gut does not behave the way it is currently doing when I've simply eaten too many chicken mcnuggets.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? ... Sigh. Keeping up the with Kardashians. Although mostly the earlier seasons. The ones post Reggie Bush just get kind of weird. Not that the show was ever normal to begin with.
How big is baby? Plum (bump) / Chicken nugget (babysizer) lol
Upcoming appointments this week? Besides hospital visit (see rant below), I have my NT scan tonight with my MFM followed by regular OB visit, can't wait to see those babies!! Taking DD for the first time, she was so excited when I told her they put a "camera" on my belly and she can see the babies on the tv!
Any new symptoms or changes? morning sickness gotten worse, and more bloating, my rings have gotten tight, but still able to wear them
Rants/Raves/Questions? Rant- I was sent to the hospital yesterday due to severe vomiting & dehydration, they gave me iv fluids and zofran, feeling better today, just drained, morning sickness can kiss my @ss LOL
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Pretty Little Liars is my guilty pleasure one! I feel like i'm double their age, but I have watched it from day 1, and am so sad it's ending! I hope they tie up all loose ends!
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
How far along are you? 13 weeks (or 13 weeks 4 days per last scan)
How big is baby? lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? MS is a little better this week so far, only felt a little gaggy yesterday but not much today. Boobs still sore, still peeing up a storm. Woke up this morning super stuffy and sneezy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? End of first tri!! There is a light at the end of the tunnel!! Found out baby is low risk per my NIPT results and we are having a girl. No one knows but me right now, going to reveal to my family this weekend over the holiday.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? I love trashy reality TV like Bachelor in Paradise/Bachelor/Bachelorette as well as shows like Married at First Sight, 90 Day Fiance, Million Dollar Listing etc. I think watching people who are hot messes make me feel better about myself as well as it is highly entertaining!
Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing new. Still not feeling like this is real besides hearing the heartbeat!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I just purchased a TON of maternity clothes from a local resale site for $50. Score!! Most of it is Motherhood brand.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? This is a no judging zone, right? Ha! Teen Mom OG is my guilty pleasure. I started watching 16 & pregnant when I was around 16 so I've kind of grown with the ladies on the show.
Me: 24 DH: 27 High School Sweethearts: 10/13/06 Married: 10/13/13 Baby #1 EDD: 3/20/17
@dubcompanion thanks! and i totally agree- early kardashians were good, now i can't stand them LOL
@Spartanrd4 congrats on end of first tri! yay!! I also love trashy reality tv- real housewives of nj is another one LOL
@OctoberLove13 yes, Teen Mom OG! they came out when I was in my late 20's/early 30's, so I felt out of place watching it then, and still now LOL
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
@MrsNap_515 Good luck at your NT scan! Hope all goes well @Dubcompanion I have been taking pictures of myself since about 7 weeks- Definitely getting bigger but still feel like I look more blump than bump.
@serenity13 definitely an HGTV addict over here too!
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
How big is baby? A lime, or a bee hummingbird, which they say is the size of a bumble bee and seems conflicting to me lol I think they are just trying to be creative
Upcoming appointments this week? yes! Tomorrow we have our NT scan! MH and I are both off of work and it'll be so cool to see baby looking like a baby, and moving all around!! I know there's a large blood screening they are doing so I'm wondering if that will tell us the gender, but I wouldn't want to know just yet, but I feel awkward asking because they might think I only care about that lol. And also all of my test results show up online on "mychart" after they are processed and I wouldn't want to just see it by myself!
Any new symptoms or changes? headaches for sure, a little caffeine seems to have helped it each time, a little tips from one of my friends who is a mom she's been the best with tips and item suggestions! I'm feeling bigger each week, but I don't know at what point I'll feel comfortable having something actually showing.
Rants/Raves/Questions? just can't believe it's week 11! Part of me feels like it has taken forever to get here and then the other part is like only 29 weeks left?! There's so much to do! Lol, that's my type A control freak needing everything to be in order
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show?
hands down all of the Real Housewives, I can't get enough! At one point right after college when we were living with H's family before we found an apartment, his dad would sit down and watch it with me and eventually got super into it and was like "oh my god I can't believe Teresa did that, Melissa should obviously be upset with her!" And it would crack me up! He's the best FIL ever
How far along are you? 14 weeks today - officially second tri!
How big is baby? A peach(TB)/ troll doll(Ovia)
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope
Any new symptoms or changes? Daily headaches and still getting sick . I'm starting to get nervous that I may be one of the super lucky ones who has MS the whole 40.
Rants/Raves/Questions? RAVE: I cannot wait to find out the sex next week! RANT: I'm really annoyed by someone I'm being forced to work with (the assistant of the attorney for one of my employees who is going through a divorce). I'm HR and I genuinely LIKE people, but this chick thinks she's much more intelligent than she is. She's struggling with basic math and forcing me to breakdown WHY she is wrong because she's convinced she is right. Come onnnnnnnn, man. Not today. Not on my birthday when I commuted in the rain and have already thrown up twice.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? The Bachelorette/Bachelor - I know its ridiculous, but I can't help myself. Definitely not my favorite, but certainly a "guilty pleasure" tv show.
@schumerator- I had my NT scan with the NIPT blood test and it will tell you the sex (I did the MaterniT21) but they personally called me on the phone and told me the results and asked if I wanted to know the sex or not (asked twice just to be sure). The results didn't go into mychart. Good luck at your scan!
@hippiemama I'm right there with ya on the morning sickness!! with DD I had it the entire pregnancy up until they took her out LOL and so far looks like it's going that way again! I look like I have freckles around my eyes from all the broken blood vessels LOL
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
@Schumerator NJ is my fave, and original NY/OC, those were the good ones, I haven't gotten into any other ones
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
@hippiemama 2nd tri!! Crazy! Sorry you're not feeling better and also HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope it gets better than how it started off lol, doing anything fun for it?
@Spartanrd4 oh thanks for the info! That's good, and makes sense. I'm sure they don't want people calling them being pissed that they saw it online on accident lol.
@MrsNap_515 same! I still watch some OC if it's on, but them, Beverly Hills and, NJ are really the only ones I watch. I don't care how crazy those ladies are, I find it so entertaining lol
How big is baby? Key lime (TB says lime but I don't buy it)
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope. NT scan & genetic testing Sept. 9th. Womp.
Any new symptoms or changes? Tummy "straining". Not exactly pain per se, but it just seems like it's stretching out a bit.
Rants/Raves/Questions? In my mind, I thought 1st tri was over after 12 weeks, but I'm realizing that that is now not true. Also now have another 3 weeks or so before getting results of genetic testing, so outside our immediate family and the couple very close friends I've told for sanity's sake, I have to keep the lid on this for almost another month. BTW, when is the official end of first tri?
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Real Housewives of NY, OC, NJ, and Beverly Hills and the shady LMN movies. I love all "The Wrong Roommate/Assistant/Boyfriend/Girlfriend/Farmer/Whatever" movies.
Upcoming appointments this week? Waiting to hear from someone to schedule a dating ultrasound.. its been a week, still no call.
Any new symptoms or changes? I feel pretty faint if I don't snack every 2-3 hours. Also, my neighbours asked my SO if I was expecting. (We're pretty close to them, they are much older and wiser and they meant no offence by it but said they can just tell, and said I'm starting to show.)
Rants/Raves/Questions? Nada, but I would love to get the show on the road for my dating ultrasound. Wondering how long I should wait before calling my midwife back? She said this ultrasound was supposed to be done between 11 and 13 weeks.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Greys Anatomy hands down.. I'm counting down the days for the new season!
@onefootinthebayou the LMN! haha love them! we laugh because my FIL loves them, we would often find him watching lifetime just for the cheesy mystery/murder movies LOL
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
@hippiemama Yay for us finally hitting the 2nd trimester!! And HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! I hope the rest of your day goes much better.
@onefootinthebayou I thought the same thing about the 1st trimester. I woke up on the day I was 13 weeks and looked at my Ovia app only to find it still saying 1st trimester. Boo. Apparently the 2nd trimester doesn't officially start until 14 weeks.
How far along are you? 14 weeks!! So excited for the 2nd trimester. I hope everything is still going well in there.
How big is baby? Peach/House mouse
Upcoming appointments this week? None this week.
Any new symptoms or changes? A few headaches and MS. For the first 12 weeks I had a low constant MS and I only actually got sick once. Now I have gotten sick 3 times in the last week! I hope it's a fluke and it starts to calm down from now on.
I also still can't tell how much of my belly is bump and how much is bloat.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have definitely hit the nesting stage. I want to buy baby things and clear out the spare bed room. But every time I got into the spare room I get a little overwhelmed with what to do with all of the stuff and where to start. I need to form a plan...
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Hmmm, I would have to say The Originals. That's my soap opera, full of crazy vampire drama.
@GoldenTMama ditto about being overwhelmed! I need to clean out DD's toyroom, and then her bedroom, because we will be putting her room where her toyroom currently is (it's smaller) and putting the twins in her current bedroom since it will fit 2 cribs better, and every time I open the door to the toyroom, I shut it and walk away....every weekend I say I'll get started...and it never happens LOL!!! and the originals- who doesn't love some Klaus
**~*Noelle*~** Happily Wed DH in May 2010 June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
Any new symptoms or changes? symptoms seems to mellowing out a bit, but that could be that I am making more of an effort to eat frequently to keep the belly happy
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not totally pregnancy related, but I have a second interview for a job on Thursday and I really hope I get the job. I have been looking for almost 6 months and honestly, it is hard knowing that I am pregnant and knowing I am going to need time off in the spring. I plan on working after the babe's born, but I am worried about being able to convince an employer that I am committed to the job, you know?
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Teen Mom, Bachelor, and RHONJ. I have very little shame.
Upcoming appointments this week? - Not until next Tuesday for my monthly check up & to get the results of my NT scan and NIPT
Any new symptoms or changes? - I have been feeling like a new person these past few days! I'm still more tired than usual but I my queasiness has pretty much completely gone away. It's amazing!
Rants/Raves/Questions? - When does the second trimester actually start? Is it at the end of week 13 or the beginning?
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? - I love Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2 and General Hospital. I also love most shows that would be well suited for a 16 year old girl
Upcoming appointments this week? My next appt isn't until Sept 9th. Hopefully I find out a little more and hear a heartbeat this time.
Any new symptoms or changes? Morning sickness has gotten better but I am still so tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I hate one of the people I work with. She is older and miserable and has the attitude that her way is the only way. I am so over her and wish I could quit almost every day I am at work. She is stressing me out.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? I am a TV junky and watch almost all of them. Lol. I love fall TV and can't wait for all the shows to start up soon. All time favorite of course is greys anatomy. I just wish Derek was still on the show
@Burrberrymum You should call tomorrow. If I don't get a call back for a time sensitive appt I call back these second day. Dating scans arent really as accurate after week 12.
NT scan went great! both babies measuring great, saw nothing of concern, he said they appear to be healthy babies, they were moving all over the place! I even got a very creepy 3D pic of them together, I can't wait until they get more human like, right now they look like claymation characters with giant heads LOL I go back in 3 weeks for another check, and he said we should definitely be able to confirm genders, they also did my genetic/dna panels last night too, so I have no idea how long those take to get back, so at least I know i'll be aware of genders soon!!!

Excellent news @MrsNap_515!! I want to get a 3D pic of her later on when you can get a better idea of what the face looks like- my friend went to one of those boutiques, doctor said it was fine.
How big is baby? Lime? Another app said a poker chip! Haha
Upcoming appointments this week? 12 week apt on Friday (a few days early)
Any new symptoms or changes? Nope, still sick
Rants/Raves/Questions? I was team green my last two pregnancies but I think I am going to find out this time and it makes me so unbelievably giddy to think that I will know the sex in just a few weeks instead of having to wait months!!
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Young justice or the Jim gaffigan show
@Spartanrd4 yea it looked so creepy, it was kind of like 3d, but more "depth" if you know what I mean, the feature was called "realistic view" and it literally looked like there was a camera inside my womb, it was absolutely unbelievable!!! even though they looked weird, I was so blown away by the technology!! I felt like I was on one of those national geographic birth documentaries LOL!!

TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
@onefootinthebayou I thought the same thing about the 1st trimester. I woke up on the day I was 13 weeks and looked at my Ovia app only to find it still saying 1st trimester. Boo. Apparently the 2nd trimester doesn't officially start until 14 weeks.
How far along are you? 14 weeks!! So excited for the 2nd trimester. I hope everything is still going well in there.
How big is baby? Peach/House mouse
Upcoming appointments this week? None this week.
Any new symptoms or changes? A few headaches and MS. For the first 12 weeks I had a low constant MS and I only actually got sick once. Now I have gotten sick 3 times in the last week! I hope it's a fluke and it starts to calm down from now on.
I also still can't tell how much of my belly is bump and how much is bloat.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I have definitely hit the nesting stage. I want to buy baby things and clear out the spare bed room. But every time I got into the spare room I get a little overwhelmed with what to do with all of the stuff and where to start. I need to form a plan...
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Hmmm, I would have to say The Originals. That's my soap opera, full of crazy vampire drama.

How far along are you? 10 weeks! 25%-ish done.
How big is baby? a prune or a kumquat
Upcoming appointments this week? tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? symptoms seems to mellowing out a bit, but that could be that I am making more of an effort to eat frequently to keep the belly happy
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not totally pregnancy related, but I have a second interview for a job on Thursday and I really hope I get the job. I have been looking for almost 6 months and honestly, it is hard knowing that I am pregnant and knowing I am going to need time off in the spring. I plan on working after the babe's born, but I am worried about being able to convince an employer that I am committed to the job, you know?
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? Teen Mom, Bachelor, and RHONJ. I have very little shame.
How far along are you? - 13 weeks!
How big is baby? - The size of a lemon
Upcoming appointments this week? - Not until next Tuesday for my monthly check up & to get the results of my NT scan and NIPT
Any new symptoms or changes? - I have been feeling like a new person these past few days! I'm still more tired than usual but I my queasiness has pretty much completely gone away. It's amazing!
Rants/Raves/Questions? - When does the second trimester actually start? Is it at the end of week 13 or the beginning?
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? - I love Teen Mom, Teen Mom 2 and General Hospital. I also love most shows that would be well suited for a 16 year old girl
How far along are you? 13 weeks.
How big is baby? Size of a jalapeño
Upcoming appointments this week? My next appt isn't until Sept 9th. Hopefully I find out a little more and hear a heartbeat this time.
Any new symptoms or changes? Morning sickness has gotten better but I am still so tired.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I hate one of the people I work with. She is older and miserable and has the attitude that her way is the only way. I am so over her and wish I could quit almost every day I am at work. She is stressing me out.
GTKY: Favorite guilty pleasure tv show? I am a TV junky and watch almost all of them. Lol. I love fall TV and can't wait for all the shows to start up soon. All time favorite of course is greys anatomy. I just wish Derek was still on the show
@hippiemama Happy Birthday!
@Burrberrymum You should call tomorrow. If I don't get a call back for a time sensitive appt I call back these second day. Dating scans arent really as accurate after week 12.
@longliveregina thanks I will give them a call in the morning! I thought for sure I would have got a call by monday-tuesday.
@Spartanrd4 hahaha same here
