Team finding out/blue/pink/green- we will be finding out and hope for one of each but overall just want healthy babies.
Upcoming appointments- second US on 4/29
How are you feeling- SO exhausted! Having waves of nausea that are only combated with constant eating. So far cravings are pasta and candy!
Rants/Raves- none at the moment
Questions- any other twin mommas in D19? I have a million questions from someone whose already been broken in lol!
GTKY- We are going to Pensacola Beach at the end of June with my parents, grandparents, and brother. I’m looking forward to some sun and hopefully fresh seafood!
Due Date / Weeks + Days: December 1st/ 8 weeks 2 days
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We're definitely going to find out. I think we may wait to tell any friends until we know the sex and do it at the same time. I'm going to see if the doctor will put the results in an envelope and maybe get a blue/pink cake and have it be a surprise for us too.
Upcoming Appointments: May 10th-- doctor is making me wait until nearly 11 weeks. Ugh.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I've felt nauseous the last 3 weeks or so-- just a pit of the stomach constant feeling of "ick", which is mostly during the late morning/afternoon/evening.
Rants/Raves: I'm generally feeling impatient about keeping this secret.
Questions: Is there a FB group going? Would love to have someone to text/fb with and talk about this as I go. It's really hard since I haven't told anyone and I am the first of most of my close friends to have a child (despite the fact that I'm 31:p).
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where?: Not planning on it but we went on a cruise in January!
Due Date / Weeks + Days: Due 12/1. 8w2d. Due date twins with you, @doctorcrime 😊
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Team Finding out. Obviously, I want a healthy baby and will be happy either way, but would love to have another girl. I always wanted a sister so I’d love if my daughter got that.
Upcoming Appointments: Had my 1st appt yesterday and my next one is 5/24
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Tired but overall pretty good. Not starving as much as I was but eating a ton of fruit. Can’t. Get. Enough.
Rants/Raves: I hate the bloat. Grrrr.
Questions: None so far
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? Nope, maybe a long weekend here and there. We had our honeymoon in early March, so that was our big trip for the year.
@doctorcrime I don’t do social media but a fb group seems like it would be fun!
I don't have FB on my phone and only do it when I am home. I'd also be open to creating a group gmail google chat or groupme (if anyone has that). It'd be nice to be able to check-in when I'm struggling at work or just want to chat in excitement about the days to come!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out ASAP! I'm a planner
Upcoming Appointments: First ultrasound on 5/1. I'm counting the days!
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): I've been pretty nauseated. It seems to be worst later in the day for me. Most foods don't appeal to me right now, but I've been craving Jimmy John's subs and popsicles. I've also been feeling mildly grouchy most of the time.
Rants/Raves: I'm getting antsy about keeping this to myself! My husband and I haven't told anyone yet.
Questions: Has anyone had their 8 week appointment yet? Did you get to hear the heartbeat?
GTKY: No big trips any time soon because we just went to Japan last November. Maybe a long weekend trip this summer to Boston.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: going to try and keep it as a surprise- I like that it is one of the few times in life for a truly happy surprise.
Upcoming Appointments: Need to do a first midwife appointment, hopefully next week. My first proper Us is May 21st, which is ages away. I already caved and paid for a private Us this past weekend. Was so excited/relieved to see the heartbeat
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): symptoms for me seem to be up and down- mostly feeling nauseous waves throughout the day. Just can’t seem to want to eat at dinner though.
Rants/Raves: We told his mom this weekend and asked her to keep it to herself as we are waiting to tell everyone else after 12 weeks. She then told my sister in-law not 10 mins later in front of us, because “she had already guessed it”. His mom then decided to tell a horrible story about a neighbour losing a baby, because 🤷🏻♀️. So that was fun.
Questions: none at the moment
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We just had our honeymoon in Feb (Australia & New Zealand), so probably limited fun holidays for the remainder of the year. Will do a long weekend in July to visit friends in France which should be really nice (based in the UK, so that is a nice short flight)
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM. DS will be 2 on 12/7 so I'll have my hands full!
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out! Everything from DS will be in season if it's another boy so I want to know whether or not we need to buy additional clothes.
Upcoming Appointments: US on 5/8. Looking forward to it
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): definitely got hit hard by nausea recently but I think it's a little better than last time because I've figured out that sugar is a big trigger for me. The only craving I've had intermittently is meat. I've also been having a lot of weird dreams lately including one last night where I was running from velociraptors with DS, so that's weird.
Rants/Raves: I'm having a surprise party for DH's birthday this Saturday and I feel like I'm running really far behind with the prep work. I'm super excited about the number of our friends who said they will go, though!
Questions: nothing right now
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? I wish! DH works construction so summer is hard for him to take time off. When summer is over I'm not sure I'll be up to going anywhere too exciting. Maybe we'll go somewhere closer for a weekend.
FTM/STM/TTM+: STM; I have a nearly 4 year old daughter and 1.5 year old son
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Not sure yet! We found out with both previous pregnancies, but thinking a surprise could be fun!
Upcoming Appointments: Just moved and waiting for insurance to come through at my husbands job, so hopefully can schedule soon.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Nauseous, tired, craving McDonald’s french fries.
Rants/Raves: My kids have been throwing worse than usual tantrums about everything lately (I'm attributing to all the recent changes), and i just don't have the energy to deal.
Questions: None!
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? Nothing planned so far, but been talking about visiting my BIL and his girlfriend in San Diego at some point.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We want to found out as soon as we can!
Upcoming Appointments: First appointment (besides bloodwork) is tomorrow. I can't wait to see the ultrasound pictures. I feel like my mind will be able to rest a little more if I see/hear a heartbeat.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Nauseous and tired. I have been so nauseous the last two weeks.
Rants/Raves: Excited for my appointment tomorrow! I do wish I could function without feeling sick to my stomach.
Questions: Not yet.
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We are traveling to Israel this summer. It has always been on my bucket list.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: We want to find out as soon as we can! We’re hoping for another girl.
Upcoming Appointments: I’ve got a phone consult for high risk (over 35 and epilepsy) next week, and then another in-office appointment to go over blood work and get another ultrasound the following week.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Having morning sickness symptoms that I honestly do not remember having at all with my daughter. It’s been pretty gnarly. Even water tastes bad. I’m adjusting. Lots of plain foods seem to feel best right now.
Rants/Raves: I’m excited to be this far along and have one healthy ultrasound under my belt with a heartbeat 💗I wish I could do my morning yoga routine a little more regularly, but the sickness is way too much right now. I hope that evens out as I hit second trimester 😛
Questions: Any other older mamas in this group? I’m going to be 39 when baby is born.
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? We may be visiting Idaho to see one of my husband’s best friends later this year. Plus, we’re Disneyland AP holders, so we’ll be heading there as often as we can to visit friends and the park. We’re also prepping to move back to Southern California, so we’ll probably be visiting for that as well.
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Finding out, I have no patience lol
Upcoming Appointments: May 16th.
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): Sick all day. I should've eaten everything I could've when I had the chance!
Rants/Raves: Kinda wishing I'd be able to drink at all these parties coming up these next few days. I'm not an alcoholic or anything.... But damn.
Questions: none
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? Nothing planned cause we just bought a house. But hopefully we can get in a weekend alone somewhere before baby #3 comes along, while family still wants to watch 2 kids 😂
@k_mama91 Exactly! My husband was having a cold beer two nights ago and I was over here watching - sick with a major headache... Summers gonna be fun lol
FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM (finally figured out what that abbreviation meant oops)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: I want to know but my friends and family want a silly party for it
Upcoming Appointments: “first” appointment is going to be at 10w2days. Already had my ultrasound w a strong heartbeat but all the not fun stuff is at the next one
How are you feeling? (Cravings, Symptoms, Etc): just so so soooo tired all the time
Rants/Raves: was struggling with ph issues and yeast infections before the BFP and finally got everything settled...and now my body is changing again so guess what’s back and worse than ever
Questions: all of them...but also none specific. Just what do I do while I wait
GTKY: Anyone going on vacation this year? If so where? I live in central Florida so yes but also no. My next “staycation” I call them is to Ana Maria Island in May for my dads birthday, but nothing major this year
Re: Group 1 Check In 4/22 DD 12/1 -12/8
