Will you please add me to the list? My EDD is 6-22-12. I'm guessing girl, but I really don't have a clue. As far as updates I had a bleeding scare at 5 weeks so Dr. S has been amazing and let's me come in for additional ultrasounds for my own peace of mind. I'll be leaving in an hour to see the baby! QOTW: I'm most excited that my chest hasn't gotten any bigger. They're pretty big for my frame and I'll be perfectly content if they don't get any bigger at all. I'm pretty sure they'll triple in size because I'm writing this. Sorry for the lack of paragraphs. I'm on my iPad.

Will you add me to this list? Due 4/27 with identical boys. ***august8080*** did you find out your twins are identical and I missed it? Let's see... I guess I'm glad that so far my boobs haven't grown. That was m first symptom with dd! I need no more boobage! Update: I still get really tired but it is better. The nausea is virtually gone bu I still hav a lot of food aversions, and it's been replaced with constant heartburn! We've now moved to Boston and it's very cold here, but we're glad to have made it. I saw my new dr. For the first time and he is kinda odd (mostly just dorky) but he Is really good. I will be seeing the babies on u/s every two weeks since my pregnancy is bigh risk...I'll get to know him real well!

QOTW: I am pretty lucky that so far (knock on wood) my back has been doing much better this pregnancy (compared to last time).  It may be because I've been trying to not gain as much weight as I did with my first pregnancy.  Hopefully it stays that way!

Updates: Feeling pretty good and anxious to get my glucose test done.  I have it next Monday so I'm really going to try to watch what I eat after Thanskgiving.  I also have a follow-up u/s on Monday to check on the baby's heart.  So hopefully things are good there as well.  I think that baby girl is getting a lot bigger because it is now to the point where I can see my tummy move from the outside when she moves.  It's so fun!!  

FusionLMT

QOTW: So far I am doing great with no weight gain. Hoping to keep it minimal this time and hopefully have a smaller baby (DS was over 10 lbs).

Update: Felt baby girl from the outside and feeling her consistently everyday now  Love this part! Now I don't have to worry quite so much. 

AdamsKitten

QOTW: I'm so thankful that I haven't been nauseated my entire pregnancy! Updates: I'm 37 weeks 6 days today... Blood pressure started going up on Monday night, so I had to go in to see Dr. S yesterday morning. Now I'm on bed rest. Boo! No preeclampsia yet, but he warned that it was possible and that if it develops we will go ahead and induce. He is still thinking baby won't stay till her due date, so hopefully all goes well for the next week and I don't have to be induced. This high blood pressure thing is scary! I feel like a ball of nerves, which I'm sure isn't helping my BP. Good news is that if I stay in bed, my BP stays nice and low. Getting up to go to the bathroom is an entirely different story. It's just crazy because my BP has been wonderful my entire pregnancy, then Monday comes around and boom! High BP

thethomps

QOTW:  I am SUPER thankful that my boobs are not the size of boulders already, like they were last time around.  They've been a tiny bit sore but are still pretty much the same size.  Whew.

Update:  Went for my first u/s today!  Baby is measuring right on track and the heartbeat was 144 bpm.  We got to see the little gummy bear, which makes things more real.    I'm hoping that I won't feel nauseous tomorrow because I really want to eat Thanksgiving food without gagging.  

august8080

Hey--can you modify me please? My EDD is 6/7/2012 and (to answer your question Atlantic) we don't know what we're having yet or if they're identical or fraternal.

My guess is that at least one is a girl. 

Umm, let's see. My nausea and vomiting is dominating my every waking minute so I haven't thought about what I don't have

I'm thankful for no pregnancy-related acne. With my son, I never had any swelling either-was able to wear my wedding rings, etc. the whole time, so I'd love to have the same experience this time. 

Update: not much new.....just trying to get through the first tri. I have another u/s a week after Thanksgiving and I'm really looking forward to that. 

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

amyliisa

QOTW:  I'm thankful that I never had any real morning sickness with either pregnancy.  With my first (that ended in early m/c), I had a bit of nausea.  Second (DS1), no nausea whatsoever, and with this one, a bit of nausea here and there that I finally figured out was due to taking my vitamins on an empty stomach.

35w6d today, and had my 36wk checkup.  I am 1cm dilated and 75% effaced already.    I know that doesn't mean anything, but I'm taking it as a good, good sign, especially since I never progressed to 1cm with DS until right at 40wks.  I have been having a ton of BH with this pregnancy, which I never had last time.  In fact, at 40w3d last time, I had an NST which showed no cx at all.  This time, I've been having the BH since about 25wks.  And just in the past week or 2, they have become more frequent and much stronger.  On Monday night I was able to time them - 5-6 minutes apart!  Not painful at all, and the all-over kind, not just lower ab.  And after timing them for an hour I laid down on my left side and they went away, so I knew they weren't "real" ones, but still - it's so different from my last pregnancy and I can't help but be a little excited about the progress this time!

I just want to get through Thanksgiving, and get my house decorated for Christmas this weekend.  Then, it's Game On! and baby can come any old time he pleases!

Can you update me please? It's a girl  

QOTW: I am thankful that I really didn't have much morning sickness this time around.

Update: I am doing great and so is she. Nothing much else to update except I am getting larger. I had to buy some maternity pants last night b/c my regular jeans are just not going to cut it much longer. Although I haven't gained any weight, my butt, thighs and stomach all seem much bigger now. Boo.

Mrs.Froggianna

QOTW:  I'm so thankful that my feet don't hurt this time around.  When I was PG with Luke I was working in an office and wore heels most of the time and my feet ached--even after I got the granny dr. scholl's inserts.  This time I'm either in tennies or barefoot so my feet actually look and feel normal.  Also, this baby doesn't seem at all interested in hanging out in my ribs like Luke did and that is a HUGE blessing.

Updates:  Well, looks like I passed my GD test!  For routine screenings like that "no news is good news" at my dr's office.  So hooooray!!   I was really worried that I'd miss out on all the holiday goodies.  And speaking of, looks like I'm going to have to enjoy them in moderation or graze all day.  I'm already running out of room when I eat and I still have 10ish weeks go to!  Eeek!

Mrs.Froggianna:

Also, this baby doesn't seem at all interested in hanging out in my ribs like Luke did and that is a HUGE blessing.

Oh, good one!  Same for me too - this boy and his bump are way low, so while I occasionally have issues catching a good, deep breath, the constant dull ache in my ribs and occasional foot jab to the diaphragm are not present this time.  However, I've traded it for the constant, uncomfortable-but-not-quite-painful feeling of lugging around a watermelon in my pelvis.  It's a trade-off I'll take, happily.

Lots of T&P to Tiffany.

 QOTW:  I am so so glad I have been lucky enough to not have any nausea!  It was really the one thing I was dreading about pregnancy.  It seems strange to me to, b/c I tend to get sick to my stomach very easily. 

 Update:  Nothing new here really.  Feel like I am definitely starting to show, but its kinda that point where you cant really tell if its a baby bump or just fat.  Bought some maternity clothes over the past week and loving the mat jeans!  I scored a pair of Paiges for $20 at a consignment store, so happy about that!    

HSartteach

QOTW: I am thankful I didn't have bad ms with either pregnancy.  I also didn't have bad acne with either one.

UPDATE: Getting a little bigger every day.  Students are still asking me all shy-like if I am pregnant.  I am having a hard time sleeping already.  I've started to put the pillow between my knees, but I think my pillow is too firm as I wake up and my thighs are killing me.  I guess I will have to go to the squishy body pillow I have.  Other than that, not much else to report.  Got more done on the mural for L's room.  Every time I get more done, I feel that much closer to moving him out and being able to think of the nursery as the new baby's room.
