~~Signature~~
Me: 36, DH: 38, Together since: 2006, Married: 9/2011 **TW Living Child**
Symptoms: still no sleep. I'm starting to get really bad acid reflux all the time! I've also noticed sometimes my chest feels really heavy and hard to breathe for a minute. Of course then all the usual 3rd trimester crap lol. I'm feeling my girl move all the time and I love it! Doesn't hurt to much yet haha.
AW/Appointments: I had my glucose test Tuesday. I passed, woot! But I am anemic which isn't to big of deal just gotta add more pills to the pile everyday lol.
GTKY: to watch- football for sure. To play- really any. I'd rather play than watch haha.
Weeks/EED: (Congrats if you've hit 3rd trimester!!!): November 14, 26 weeks
Symptoms: Heartburn and a hard time sleeping. Oh, and I wake up with tingling fingers most mornings which the nurse told me might be carpal tunnel.
AW/Appointments: I had an appointment on Wednesday and another in 3 weeks. I can go in anytime to do my glucose test.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? As far a playing, I prefer individual sports - running, swimming, skiing, etc. I don't really like to watch many sports on television, but I do love going to hockey games and seeing them live.
Weeks/EED: (Congrats if you've hit 3rd trimester!!!) 27 Weeks tomorrow Nov 8
Symptoms: Back pain but it is getting better with Chiro visits, difficulty sleeping because I can't get comfortable or I have to pee every 2 hours, heartburn
AW/Appointments: Next apt wont be until Aug 28. Get to do my GD test then. Oh joy.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? I will watch football and baseball. I can't focus on the whole thing though. I am usually cooking, reading or crafting while watching. I miss playing co-ed softball.
Symptoms: Lack of sleep, back & sciatica pain, braxton hicks.
AW/Appointments: Just got back from my now bi-weekly high risk appointments including ultrasounds. Baby is measuring in the 70th percentile & everything is looking great. But now the arguments begin about induction. The hospital wants to induce at 38 weeks. I'm not comfortable with anything before 39 weeks. But we still have a ways to go so we'll see.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? To watch & play - hockey & golf. I also really like skiing. But who can afford to play golf & go skiing? Maybe one day.
Symptoms: Belly is really poppin' now- cankles are in full effect as well.
AW/Appointments: Passed my glucose test, yay!
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? This might be weird but I'm a huge UFC fan... I used to train in muay thai and a handful of guys I used to train with are in the UFC now- it's so fun to follow them! I like watching basketball too.
AW/Appointments: Filed the legal paperwork so that LO will be legally ours when born. I am so happy that the state we live in allows parents using a surrogate before the birth!
We painted the nursery, put the crib and shelf together, and framed and hung our prints over the crib. It feels like a nursery now!
GTKY: Basketball on both accounts. I am originally from Indiana, it's required. (If you haven't seen the movie Hoosiers, do so immediately!).

EDD 11/7/14. Please, please, please stick little one!
Symptoms: Killer heartburn, short of breath, I feel like huge and uncomfortable all the time, my back and feet hurt... BUT lots of movement that makes me remember that it is all worth it!
AW/Appointments: I have an appointment on Monday - should be short and sweet. I'm freaking scared of the GD test, but I have another month before that. I bought a TON of clothes on the Target website - all the winter stuff was on sale. Baby now has more clothes for her first 3 months than she will need.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? I love love love NFL and NHL - both live and on TV. Baseball is almost always on in my house but I do prefer to watch it live. I've never really particpated in a sport - unless you count years of ballet (some even recently) and a couple of years of cheerleading back in the day.
Symptoms:Heartburn and indigestion. Peeing like it's my freaking job. Overall, though, I think I'm having a fairly easy twin pregnancy (so far). I'm just thankful for every day they are inside me and I don't pee myself.
AW/Appointments:I'm excited to be feeling movement. It really picked up in the last week -- even DH got kicked when he had his head on my stomach (he was antagonizing them!). Had my 24 week appointment yesterday, Ari weighs 1lb 6 oz and Willa is 1 lb 5oz. The doctor seemed happy with that. I will be getting ultrasounds every 2 weeks now and seeing the doctor at every other appointment.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play?:I like watching football. I have never been into playing sports (I was a journalism/yearbook nerd in high school, never joined a sports team). As an adult, I enjoy running (not sure if that counts as a sport).
N14 Nov. Siggy: CELEBRATION!
TTC since 2011
Aug. - Sept. 2013 - dIUIs = BFNs
January 2014 - IVF = 3 freezer babies
March 2014 - FET of AA and AB blast = BFP! Twins!
Nov. 7, 2014 - Wilhelmina "Willa" Suzanne (4lb 14oz) and Ari Jose (6lb 4oz) were born via CS
Weeks/EED: 25 week - 11/21 - cauliflower (bleck! sounds like the grossest thing ever to eat right now!)
Symptoms: I've had some hip pain so on top of my beloved snoogle, I've now added a body pillow to my sleep set-up. Just call me the Princess and the Pea!
AW/Appointments: I have an appointment every week for the rest of the month. Next week is my Glucose test, the following week is my OB check-in and then the week after that is my 3rd Tri Growth US to check-in and see if that PAPP-A weirdness is preventing proper growth. Judging by my ever-growing large bump, I think I'm doing just fine in that dept for now!
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? LOVE watching football (go 49ers!) and like to swim, spin and box. I miss boxing - doc said that was a big no-no (for obvious reasons) while I'm pregnant.
Symptoms: Leaky boobs for the first time this week. Sleeping is hard. I miss pooping on a regular basis. I'm still wearing mostly pre-pregnancy clothes. I wish I had a cute bump like all of you! I just look really bloated around the middle, presumably due to my inability to poop.
AW/Appointments: 1 hour glucose/OB appt. on Thursday. A little nervous, but I enjoy going to my appointments. I start my childbirth class at the hospital on Monday!
GTKY: What is your favorite sport to watch? To play? I enjoy watching hockey and baseball in person and football on T.V. H plays rec league hockey, and I like going to his games. I do not play sports. At. All.
Weeks/EDD: 24 today! Lucky November 28! (Said like crazy eyes from OITNB)
Symptoms: numb fingers constantly, lots of kicks!
AW/Appointments: great check-up on Wednesday, she moves far more than I feel her, because she sprints from the Doppler. OB says she's incredibly active, which terrifies me!
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? I am addicted to sports. I have season tickets to our hockey and football teams, always have the baseball games on in the background and the Olympics are my favourite thing ever. I'll watch ANY sport, just because I love the sound. However, I have NO ability. Klutz central; the only thing I do well is ice skating.
@melsod you need to book a trip to Vancouver so you can golf and ski on the same day. Pretty cheap rates too!
Symptoms: Nothing new. Insomnia and sciatica really love me.
AW/Appointments: Just had an appt Tuesday. Everything was awesome and I'm measuring 26 weeks. Go back the first week of September and will do my 1 hr GD test then...yay.
GTKY what is your favorite sport to watch? to play? We are huge football fans! Love me some football. I never really played any sports, but I love to get out there and throw a football or kick around a soccer ball.

Symptoms: I feel so huge. My belly is just like a weight hanging out in front of me, I can't believe I could possibly get much bigger - I feel like way bigger than I was with my second son. Baby girl is moving /all the time/, she's so active. Maybe because I had an anterior placenta in my last pregnancy, I feel like I feel her a lot more.

@AbbeyH I'm due the day before the Iron Bowl. I'm an Auburn fan and DH is a Bama fan, so having her that day would be pretty crazy!! I'm sure we'd have it on...I can't lie lol. I'm so hoping to escape laboring or delivering on any gameday :P.
