Since we are nearly due date twins, thought I'd ask how you are doing? I seen your post below about the platelet counts. But how is the bump? I definitely have one, but not enough for strangers to ask yet, but enough for maternity clothes. My non-materity shirts are too short and come up over the maternity waist bands. I kinda popped a little on Sat. the 2nd. Are you feeling the baby yet? This little one is going to be a kicker for sure with the way he is kicking me this early. Some days he kicks me repeatedly then nothing for a few days, but it always makes me smile to feel him! (Obviously I think it's another boy, since I refer to him as HE!)
Re: **klmorgan**
I'm doing pretty good....how about you?? The bump is definitely growing, much sooner than with Noah! I'm wearing maternity jeans, just because they're more comfortable....but still having a little trouble keeping them up. I'm at a very awkward in between stage. Maybe this baby is going to be smaller because I still haven't gained any weight yet. I gained 35 with Noah, so I'm hoping it stays below that!
No definite movement yet. I feel like I'm behind, but I know it's still early. I didn't feel Noah for sure until around 20 weeks...so I know there's still time! I've had a few moments where I think I feel something, but it doesn't last long so I second guess myself. Hopefully soon though!
I'm just hoping this baby isn't going to hurt me like Noah did. I had severe leg pain with him. To the point where I was in agony the second I took off the compression stockings I wore. Hopefully if it does happen it will be easier since it's going to be cold. I wore those stupid stockings all summer, then had to wear pants on top of them....miserable!
2 weeks until we find out! Are you finding out??
I felt movement at 17 weeks last time, so I was about 4 weeks before that this time. I bet you feel the baby any day now.
We are definitely finding out the gender. I have to plan a nursery. We were moving with Eli so we just threw the nursery together and really did his big boy room nice. So I want to redo the nursery since I know this baby will be in that room much longer than Eli. I have an appointment on Friday and am hoping they will schedule my u/s then. I feel really behind since all the other March mommas at least know when they get their u/s if they haven't has it already.
I hope you don't go through the leg pain again. The little aches and pains of pg are never any fun. I didn't have anything like that, but I do have HBP issues and at a high risk for pre-e, so my OB already warned me that I shouldn't be surprised when they pull me out early for bed rest. YIKES! That's a little scary to hear at TWELVE weeks, you know? OH well. Guess that comes with having a high stress job.
I am finally starting to get a little more energy and starting to feel pg. Still scared something bad will happen. Although I was doing pretty good until a co-irker decided to tell me yesterday about her friends m/c. I was ready to smack her. Thanks co-irker. Just what I needed to hear.
Eli still comes over about every other day to kiss the "baby" too. It absolutely melts my heart.
