GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Fresh Prince of Belair 😎 so I'd be rich lol
We also announced our pregnancy to social media this weekend. We did a funny facebook post of a photo of our beloved dog with two sets of pink baby shoes and the caption is "Wait, you're having HOW MANY?" Then I shared my IVF needles photo on my instagram acknowledging the work that this pregnancy took. I honored that this took 12 days of stims, 17 eggs retrieved, 14 mature, 9 fertilized, 5 made it to embryo, 2 embryos were lost after transfer, but that all has led us to these two girls. I got a surprise message from someone I didn't expect congratulating me from one IVF mama to another (I had no idea she had struggled too, she never acknowledged it). I also had multiple people commenting thanking me for sharing the struggle. I only got one or two annoying comments, which was nice.
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? I always wanted to be a member of the Tanner family of Full House!

GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? I don't know, every TV family seems pretty dysfunctional. I'm going to count the BBC Pride & Prejudice miniseries and say I want to be a Bennett sister!
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Modern Family
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? I haven't watched a lot of sitcoms recently... We're really nerdy so likely we'd fit in with the crew on Big Bang Theory over any of the families out there in TV land.
until our 20 week scan on October 14th.
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? The Kardashians (guilty pleasure haha) or the Rose’s from Schitt’s Creek!!

@jfcmomoftwo I had way too much for dinner on Saturday and my stomach was hard as a rock after. I was soo uncomfortable!
@kloe818 I hope the quad comes back lower so you can skip the amnio! I do believe it's normal for the heartbeat to slow down a bit as the baby gets bigger.
@cmortmain I started to feel flutters very early on with the DD. I want to say I was around 13-14 weeks. I'm not convinced that I have felt this baby yet though. Some women don't feel anything until much later though. Have you considered getting a at home doppler? I got one after my scare and I love it!
@princessjenney I'm sure your daughter will love her brother once he is here!
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Hmm...this is difficult! I really don't know. Can I just stick with my real family? They aren't perfect but there is less drama than any TV show lol
@jenotontx I'm so sorry you're still dealing with the stress of bleeding and hope your brain can make peace with it since it doesn't seem to be going away.
@kloe818 there are so many things that impact a baby's heart rate (just like ours) so I would say that if the doctor wasn't concerned, there's likely nothing to worry about! Maybe next time you go in, it will be 170 bpm!
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Not exactly a family, but I'd love to be part of the Friends group.
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Bill Cosby aside, I always wanted to be part of the Huxtable family growing up

@kloe818 sorry the amnio didn't quite work out but hopefully the quad screen is reassuring!
@annanbby I used to get so hot during my first pregnancy, it was nuts. I barely even turned the heat on throughout that entire winter, and went without a coat many times. For some reason it's not as bad this time around. Glad your work took the news well!
@jenotontx I really hope the bleeding subsides soon! Glad the baby is still doing well!
@mvt2003 hooray! girls are awesome!
@clevans1 I hope your ultrasound goes well, though I know that now things will be bittersweet given the news about the vanishing twin. How are you and your H doing?
@jfcmomoftwo hope you start feeling better
@princessjenney how old is your daughter? Mine is three and she told me I had to have a girl baby lol

@mvt2003 Folding laundry is the worst. I'm anal retentive about how clothes is folded so it takes me extra long to fold. And ever since potty training started, we have soooo much more laundry. It never ends
@cmortmain The in-store selection of maternity clothes in my area is terrible, also. I pretty much just stick to Gap and Old Navy and order it all online now. With my first pregnancy, I felt flutters at 15+3 which is tomorrow for this pregnancy. I still haven't felt anything yet, but we'll seeeee. I hope it's soon!
@jenotontx Yay for no nausea but ugh for bleeding! I really wish it would stop so that you could breath a sigh of relief and relax.
@kloe818 I think heart rate fluctuates a lot during pregnancy. If they didn't mention anything about it, I wouldn't worry. I love that you love your MFM and that you might not have to do an amnio! FX for good quad screen results!!
@jfcmomoftwo I'd like to be a member of the Kardashian family too, just to be a fly on the wall and watch all the drama. I'm also a teeeeny tiny bit curious as to what they're like in real life.
@clevans1 The acid this pregnancy is so much worse than my last. I didn't have to start taking all day TUMS until 3rd tri last time. I hope the prevacid helps!
@annanbby I remember being sooo hot my last pregnancy but I normally run hot. But oddly, this whole pregnancy, I've been so cold. It's so weird.
@manillabar Yay chicken! I hope that means your aversions are going away and you can eat somewhat normally again! And wow, a soda can sounds so big!

jfcmomoftwo -- the Roses! (Schitt's Creek)
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? I know it’s crazy bc they have a tough life but the Gallagher’s from shameless seem so fun!
@manillabar thanks for asking. We are doing pretty well - just have some subtle reminders here and there of the fact we were originally expecting twins that sting.
@kloe818 what you're describing sure sounds like baby flutters to me! When I'm pressing against my belly when baby moves, the feelings are more exaggerated.
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of?
Gosh...I'm having such a hard time answering this one! I love the idea of being part of the Friends crew
@kloe818 definitely sounds like baby flutters! I destinctly remember the first time I felt my daughter move, it was like little bubbles popping and it took me a second to realize that was it!
GTKY: What TV family (can be reality, sitcom, or whatever) would you love to be a member of? Always loved Full House.

@bcashaw - See this is what I've been thinking about!! What if I have a huge baby! HAHA! Wow, 10lbs 4oz. I was 9lbs 8oz and my mom said I went straight to the 3 month clothes. I was super chubby.
@xvividash i was a small baby and so was my partner. We have no clue where this kid came from ( i blame big macs)
All three of my kids were in the 6lb range and I had to get preemie clothes. NB were way too big! I know that's not usually the case though.
