    Hi!!!   I'm doing good...I've been a little uncomortable but otherwise very good.

    Tell me about your second tri experiences! The 2nd tri has been a lot better for me...no more m/s and I have more energy.  I have had some pelvic discomfort but my OB said that's going to be normal.  

    Do you know babies sex yet? We are having girls!!!!  I can't believe they are both girls but Dh & I are so happy.

    Have you started planning the nursery yet? We have started the nursery and it should hopefully be completed by this weekend.  I didn't want to wait to long since I may not have much more energy as I progress.  The theme is Dr. Seuss...I love it, the room will have horizontal stripes the the Cat's hat and will have a few quotes throughout the room along with character decal all over...I can't wait to see it complte.

     

    Hope you are all doing well!

  • Hi everyone! It is so nice to see all of you on here.

    We just had our a/s this week, which went well, and we found out that we are having a boy and a girl. We're really excited! 

    I've been feeling "rolling" movement for awhile now, and my stomach looks and feels huge already! I just started feeling kicks this week. I've also been having a lot of rib pain on my right side (either from being kicked or head butted, as both babies' heads are together on the right). I can't complain, though...this has been a pretty smooth pregnancy so far.

    I just started our baby registry this week, and am now planning out the nursery. Overwhelming, but fun!


    Twins November 2012!


  • Hi Ladies!!! I hope everyone is doing well! 

    I just started getting uncomfortable a few days ago (like no matter how I sit or lay at night I just can't seem to feel good). Most days I feel okay until about 3 then it goes downhill quickly. I am still working out (mostly legs and light cardio) but it is becoming more difficult to do each passing day.

    Do you know babies sex yet? Yes, a baby boy!

    Have you started planning the nursery yet? I have my furniture picked out and am looking at fabrics with my mom tomorrow for the bedding/draperies (we are both seamstresses so we would rather make it) but won't actually make/buy anything until after 24 weeks.

    This is so exciting!! I cried tears of joy for two days after. I hope your scan goes super well and that baby shows the parts you need to see!

  • It is so great to see everyone's updates.  I love that we are all experiencing the same things in our pregnancies at the same time.  Sometimes I feel a little alone because most of my friends are done having children already. 

    I am feeling pretty good but like some of you I have started to get a little uncomfortable later on in the day.  It seems like I can't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time.  I have also had some trouble sleeping which has made me a little less sharp than I am used to. 

    Second tri has been good to me. I have been feeling the baby move for at least 4 weeks now and it is getting stronger... I love that feeling :)

    I have my A/S scheduled for this afternoon.  I cannot wait to see our LO!  I didn't even sleep last night I was so excited. We hope to find out the sex at the appointment.  We've invited our immediate family over for Pizza tonight so we can share the news :)

    I have plans for the nursery for either a girl or a boy... I just need to know which one before we can get started.  I think for either I would love to go with a lamb theme on either coral or blue depending on baby's sex.

    Hi Everyone!! It is so great to "see" you all Smile I haven't been posting much lately but I do like to see how all my cycle buddies are doing. I can't believe we are all just about half way done, it's crazy! I wanted first tri to go by fast but now I need time to slow down a bit so I can prepare.

    I have been feeling good, some days I don't even feel pregnant. I am pretty bummed that I still haven't felt much in the way of movement..... Every time I thought I felt something it ended up being stomach issues so it is very hard to tell. 

    Our anatomy scan is on Tuesday (the 31st) and I cannot wait! It has been about 8 weeks or so since my last u/s and I can't wait to see how much bigger baby has gotten and I of course can't wait to find out if baby is a boy or girl!

    I have some ideas for the nursery but hoping to get some solid plans after we find out the sex.  The room has been completely cleaned out though and is ready to go when we are!

  • Hi everyone! So glad to hear how all of you are doing!

    Second tri has been eh. I've been very anxious over how the rest of this pregnancy will go. Our sweet Baby B has an issue with his umbilical cord so we're seeing a high risk specialist for that (please keep him in your prayers). I'm already in a ton of pain (Pubic Symphysis Diastasis, high blood pressure - which I just did a 24-hr urine collection for, hyperemesis, etc). It hasn't been the smoothest pregnancy but I'm just holding out for that end result we all have hoped and prayed for so long - take home babies!!

    Both babies are boys (yay) and I'm going this weekend to pick out fabrics for bedding before I finalize the rest of the nursery plans.

     Happy half-way baked everyone!

    Me: 28, DH: 29
    DX: DOR & major hormone imbalances; DH low motility
    4 Clomid cycles + Trigger = BFN

  • Good luck to all having an a/s over the next few days! I can't wait to hear what "team" everyone is on!

  • Hey everyone!!! So good to see you all.  Can't believe we are half way through.  I am loving the second tri. Just started feeling our little guy move around about 2 weeks ago.  It was so strange at first but now I love it  We had our a/s 2 weeks ago and everything is looking great.  We even have him named.... Charles Wallace!  He is named after my Father and DH's Grandfather's brother.

    We have not started working on the nursery yet but I am getting together ideas.  A friend is making our skirt and matching curtain. So excited because I could not find anything under $500 that I liked.  We are decorating around a print I found on Etsy that has owls on it.  Colors will be dark blue and green.  Can't wait to start working on it and for my vision to come together!

    Hope everyone is doing well!  Ever hear from farmerlynda anymore?
