How far along are you? 
13w6d w/ twins

How big are babies?
About to become peaches!

Appointments this week?
Nope, not until 12/21

Symptoms?
The nausea is back. It subsided for 1.5-2 weeks (not gone but less), and it started getting back again over the weekend. And I'm on max Diclectin, ugh.

Rant/Rave/Questions?
I went to a departmental holiday party tonight with about 200 people, and they had wait staff circulating with one bite appetizers. I had to start cornering them / waving them over to myself. Sorry, everyone else, but I need FOOD at dinnertime.

GTKY: How big of a family were you planning? How do your multiples fit into that plan?
We said 2-3 kids, but after my last pregnancy, I wasn't sure I was going to want to do another after this one (and I really really don't). So I'm pleased that it's twins! I like the idea of 3 kids -- I came from a family of 2 (me and little brother), and more seems nice. But not too many, for my own sanity's sake.

Love this! Thanks for doing it @sls , I'm sorry to hear your morning sickness reappeared! Boo!! 

How far along are you? 12w3d with twins

How big are babies? Large plums

Appointments this week? Nope, ultrasound to check on their growth 12/19

Symptoms? Headaches!! I didn't have them at all with my two kids, and they seem exceptionally bad. Knock me on my ass for at least one full day. I'm also stretching out a lot, my uterus feels like its growing at hyper speed. 

Rant/Rave/Questions? Rave for coffee. My exhaustion is brutal, 6:30am comes way too soon lately.

We were happy with our 2 kids, one boy one girl. Husband felt done, I felt incomplete. I've always wanted 4, so we compromised on 3. I won haha

@sls sorry for the nausea ...I like the idea of three kids too! 

@halfthetree so funny you ended up with 4 kids anyway! Sorry about the headaches I know those can suck, I had one randomly yesterday.

GTKY: How big of a family were you planning? How do your multiples fit into that plan? I was hoping for 2-3 but this may be it according to my husband lol.
