So far, so good. I'm getting my cervix checked more frequently now because I have a lot of pelvic pain & pressure. My doctor thinks a lot of it is due to my monster fibroid (now the size of a baseball - ick).
Yeah - I am finally early! This is all thanks to a snow day. Which also leads me to an excuse for the comfy clothes.
Things are going well. Other than shower #2 (I have great family and friends) this weekend, not too much new this week. I continue to lurk and pray for you all!!

Hi beautiful 3T ladies! I'm always lurking and rooting for you! I'm early to the check-in because I'm a teacher and we had a snow day called today:) Not a whole lot to report besides that people say I've really "popped" these days. Baby girl and I are doing well so far, only symptoms being pain and pressure when she's in certain positions. My Dr said all is well, and I'm scheduled to take GTT @ 30 weeks. We did a bit of work on the nursery too, wainscoting is quite a beeaaattcchh! I'm also excited for our 3D/4D u/s this weekend! Here are some pix of me yesterday & a pix of the nursery progress:

Hey guys!! Everyone looks so cute!! This is a bit of a P&R - I have a meeting in like 5 minutes - but here is me yesterday at 21 weeks. Pardon the weird hair. Nothing to report. My next appt is in 3 weeks. Last one was boring - just the way I like them! We started Bradley classes last Thursday - really loving them! We have another tonight. We haven't even begun to start on the baby's room, picking furniture, etc. I really need to get on the ball!
Heather, thanks for posting this! I love getting to catch up with everyone and seeing all my 3T ladies. I miss you guys so much! I'm always being a lurky-loo here though and rooting you on XOXO

Hey pretty ladies! I'm so glad you guys want to see us each week. I always look forward to Thursdays
Sceph - You're so tiny still. Yay for you baby shower!
Monica - Still all belly. Super cute!
Everam - Love your twin belly. Sorry about the pain and pressure - it sucks!
JessaLynn - YAY for your first belly shot! Looking good, momma.
Gym - You're all belly too. Love your bump!
No real updates this week other than I am finally starting to feel pregnant. I'm stretching in places that I didn't know could stretch. I'm starting to feel one of the boys a lot more often, but the other one is still pretty mellow. I wonder if that's how they will be when they are outside babies???
Anyway, here's my almost 23 week twin belly. And I promise that I don't always wear my hair in a ponytail, but Thursday is usually a dirty hair day.
Hope everyone has a great Thursday!!

Beautiful bellies ladies! Gym - I can't believe you're 21 weeks already! You look so great!
Here are my little guys. Brady is giving the Ravens the evil eye for their horribly shitty playing on Saturday against the Steelers.
They had their 2 month checkup (complete with 2 shots ) on Tuesday. Brady weighs 12lbs and Bennett is 10lb 5oz. They are just above and just below the 50th percentile for babies their age and are not even considered in the preemie weight range anymore!
Congratulations to my girl AmberZ! So happy for you!
Ever, scherpa, Mrs. Monica, jessalynn, gym, bhilyer - you girls all look great! Love how big the boys are getting, Omega! (and I agree with Brady on the Ravens last weekend!)
I had a growth spurt in the last week or two, I think. I feel really big! But everything is going well.
Hi ladies! I am still lurking and rooting for all of you. ((hugs)) for anyone who needs them!
I had an worrisome Ob appointment yesterday since there was protein and sugar in my urine but I am hoping it will be gone when I go back in next week. I also had lost some weight which they were unhappy about but the baby bump is def. growing!

Hi Ladies! Everyone looks sooo cute!! I am huge, but I don't have a pic uploaded to share (FB friends, my friend just took one yesterday & it's on my page but her son is in it so I don't want to put it here). I'll try to get one up later if I can.
As for my update, I'm 39 weeks and our little tiny dancer is making no effort to vacate the premises. Not dilated or anything, ugh -- but everything is "perfect" so that's always good! I just would like to see a little progress, you know, so that I know my body knows what it's doing (since it didn't know how to get PG, KWIM?). But I know all of the dilation early is arbitrary anyway.
My doctor said that if things stay the same that we will be talking about induction at next week's appt. She told me to go ahead and try every old wives' tale in the book, so wish me luck and send me labor vibes! I'd really like to not be induced.
Good luck to everyone cycling right now, I'm rooting for you all every day!!!!
