How far along are you?

GTKY: If you were stuck on a deserted island with only 3 items what would they be?
What rants/raves/questions/advice? I started the Progesterone shot last Thursday and I don't know if this is a side effect from the shot or a bug going around, but I can't stop pooping! I was so constipated prior to this I should be happy, however it's very annoying to have to keep running to the bathroom. We had to do injection training so SO could give me the shot (its in the butt, i can't reach), so that was interesting. He managed to get it though and it didn't hurt... I know I'm in the second trimester now, but I swear I'm more tired now than I was during the first. I was hoping that wouldn't pick up again until the third!
Also... did anyone find any good prime deals? I saw a rock n play go through, quite a few carriers, the my brest friend pillow is on there, and quite a few other things! If I didn't have most of my stuff already, I'd probably take advantage of some of the deals. Target's baby sale is this week too and it's also a great time to get a car seat if you need one!
As for me, I'm 15 weeks today! MoDi twins
No appointments last week. I see my ob/gyn on Friday. MFM next week, and I'll start biweekly scans then.
On a desert island, I presume it's a cheat to bring a helicopter and pilot. I'd bring Burts bees lip balm, a lot of rum (seems to work for a lot of things), and a pocketknife.
I wish I could stop worrying about the risks of TTTS. The more I am filled with joy at what's happening, the more I worry about the risk of loss. I just need to be present in the now, I guess.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
@tmk0325 I've been pretty tired lately too! I recently started co-hosting a radio show on a college station with my dad from 7-9 pm and last week we got dinner afterwards, so I was driving an hour home around 10:30 pm and I thought I might not make it I was soooo exhausted! I'm normally a night owl so being tired before midnight is new for me!

Had a quick US last week to check on the littles, and they look great! We got a clear picture of a wiener, butmy doctor didn't want to outright confirm for some reason. I showed the US pic to my boss, who's an RE and a self proclaimed expert at early sex detection, and he says he's 99% sure they're boys. He says he can't be 100% because he wasn't controlling the machine. I'm not buying boy stuff YET, but I'm pretty convinced. And super excited!

A hunting knife, seeds for veggies, a flint kit to light fires.

@leilagphillips I've been having those same quick, sharp pains in my lower abdomen. I feel like they're different from RLP, but I'm not too worried about it.
Omg @tmk0325, I wish I had that problem. I haven't pooped in like DAYS.
@KLake42 sorry you're still feeling uneasy. Hope that goes away soon.
I wish I had known that all of that would be on prime day because I would have signed up.
@KLake42 It's easier said than done, but try not to worry too much.
@leilagphillips I've been having all types of pains in the abdomen area too. I worried at first, but the babies have always been OK so now I don't worry about it as much.
@breezybee Congratulations!
No and I feel like it's been forever. My next appointment is the anatomy scan on the 24th and I'll see my current doctor a few days later. The good news is I'll be switching to the doctor I wanted (at a closer hospital), but the bad news is I won't have an appointment with her until Aug 21st
GTKY: If you were stuck on a deserted island with only 3 items what would they be?
A solar powered desalination machine (IDK if one exists LOL) so I'd have an endless supply of water, food and if I could have my SO as an item, he's pretty handy and would probably build us a boat. If my SO isn't an option, I guess tools to try to build a boat.

My rant is above regarding how long it will take to see the new doctor and of course the rave is that I'm able to see the new doctor. No questions at the moment.
My appointment is Thursday, please let them be able to tell us the sexes of both babies. Anatomy scan scheduled for the 25th!
Veggie seeds, fire kit, and my husband (always the boyscout)
I barfed this morning for twenty minutes, during the barfing I peed myself just a little bit.
My parents bought both car seats and the stroller yesterday. : )
GTKY: If you were stuck on a deserted island with only 3 items what would they be?
What rants/raves/questions/advice? not too much. I'm slowly feeling better but its been hotter than hades outside so I have been spending more time than usual in the AC.
@tmk0325 I looked at the amazon stuff but since we have so much from the twins I didn't get anything. Honestly the biggest thing we need is a dresser for this little one and then to decide if we are moving the twins into toddler beds or twin beds so that this one can get one of the cribs. sorry about all the bathroom trips.
@klake42 I'm sorry the possibility of developing TTTS is still weighing so heavily on you. You can't prevent it so as hard as it is try to focus on the now and those healthy babies. If something comes up we will be here to support you and your being monitored so closely. hugs
@leilagphillips I don't think I knew I was feeling the twins until between 16-18weeks. My midwife said by 20 weeks you should be feeling things regularly. I hope your appointment helps ease your worries.
@breezybee congrats on most likely boys!
@clovelyone I'm so glad you'll be able to see the doctor you wanted. Sorry its not for 6 more weeks.

Check up at my OB last week. Next appt with MFM on Tuesday 18th. My OB is expecting them to do echo's on the babies hearts. Anyone have experience with this? Should I drag my DH along?

A knife or ax of some kind, sunscreen, a margarita! I miss beer and cocktails!
What rants/raves/questions/advice?
Raves: prime day. I bought over 800 diapers for like $60, and bought both carseats for just about $250 - Graco Snugride Click Connect 35 Elite (or something like that). I picked the Joovy Twin Roo as our starter stroller, and we'll move to a traditional twin stroller when they're older. Also, all my maternity clothes from Gap and H&M came in the mail today! Weird how one pair of jeans fit different than the other in the same size!
Question: upholstered or wooden glider? I know the wooden ones are much more padded, but the upholstered look to be a little bigger and supportive (big concern on support for both me and them). We're starting to look at furniture and I'm torn one this. Prices also seem to be about the same. Oh, and what about a matching gliding footrest? Nice to have, never used it, or couldn't live without?
We have a wooden glider that has the padding attached to it. It does the trick. It came with the matching rocking ottomon. The ottomon I used more when I wanted to lay back on the couch and put my feet up. I didn't use it a ton with the glider. I honestly wish I would of just bought a recliner, because I think i would of used that way more. I'd probably just go sit on a few and go from there!

The chair/glider/recliner is a dilemma for us also. No clear choice yet.

On a different note gap still has their big sale going on. Got my first shipment yesterday and turned around and made another purchase today. Got two pairs of pants and 6 tops for under $100! Figured I could use some new maternity clothes (even though I have a bin full)!
