I'm so sorry I didn't post this yesterday!! I had a super busy morning/afternoon and wasn't feeling so hot this morning.

But another week down ladies!!

How are you feeling?

How far along are you?

Fruit?

Any new appointments/updates?

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures?

How are you feeling? Pretty good overall! Today has been a rough day, I'm pretty sure I over did it yesterday and am paying for it today.

How far along are you? 17 weeks 2 days!

Fruit? Onions!

Any new appointments/updates? We had our A/S yesterday and found out we're expecting two beautiful healthy baby boys! We go back in 3 weeks and will meet with our MFM sometime within the next few weeks.

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures? I'm really hoping so. I wasn't expecting it to be so pricey though, I must admit that was a shocker. But I definitely want to do them!

How are you feeling? Great! Food aversions are pretty much gone, and the overwhelming fatigue of 1st Tri also has more or less lifted.

How far along are you? 15w2d

Fruit? Oranges!

Any new appointments/updates? Went in last week for a standard check up -- apparently I'm just slightly hyperthyroid, so I have the distinct pleasure of getting to add an endocrinologist to my round up of doctor appts. That will occur on Monday -- so will be interesting to see what they have to say/what they'll want me to do.

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures? No maternity photos, but will definitely do newborn photos -- likely with the same photographer who shot our wedding

Endo's aren't too bad - most of them will have you just do repeat lab work and call you to follow up so you don't have to make a ton of appointments. I've had a thyroid issue for a couple of years but it's really common in pregnancy! I'm sure it'll work itself out.

How are you feeling? I still feel miserable most of the time. It has actually gotten worse the last couple of weeks. TMI alert, but yesterday I actually threw up in the shower. I haven't done that since my college days.

How far along are you? 14 weeks 1 day

Fruit? Lemon, I think

Any new appointments/updates? I had my NT scan Tuesday. Everything looked fine as far as they told me. I got the official confirmation of mono/di twins, and the official news that I will be referred out from my current OB. I'll be going from a nice, quiet, small clinic with a doc that has proven to be very honest and open to a super busy clinic on the main medical center campus with docs I don't know. It is an extra 20-25 minutes away (nearly an hour total), so my husband will be less likely to make it to many appointments. I'm a little bummed out for me, but it is probably a lot better for the babies.

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures? I would absolutely LOVE to have some pictures of me from the last few weeks. "Here I am crying on the bathroom floor," "Here is the time I forced my husband to cut my hair in the middle of the night in a fit of crazy pregnancy rage directed at my hair." I guess I'm trying to say, unless I start to feel better, I don't know if I want to pay someone to commit these moments to film. We may have a friend take a few pictures during the time after I start to show, but before I get twin big.

We will probably do newborn pictures. I think there is really nothing cuter in this world than twin newborn photos.

I realize that this post makes me seem like a downer and maybe a little crazy.... but I'm really doing okay overall. The bad moments are easily forgotten when we get an ultrasound and see the two little babies in there are happy and healthy.

How are you feeling? Overall, I feel pretty good. I still get tired really easily, and for some reason, my legs are really, really sore, but other than that, all is well!

How far along are you? 16w4d

Fruit? Avacados!

Any new appointments/updates? Nope, I don't go back until 08/20. That is when I meet my MFM

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures? Probably not "maternity pictures" exactly, but we will do family pictures while I am pregnant. Newborn pictures are a definite though!!!

How are you feeling? Same! Tired and still having food aversions.

How far along are you? 15 weeks

Fruit? 2 oranges

Any new appointments/updates? The spotting I had last week stopped an the u/s showed everything to be fine and babies doing well. Next u/s is only at the end of August.

GTKY: Are you hoping to do maternity pictures/newborn pictures? Not sure.
