Re: ~~**twin mom check in 1/23/15**~~
- feeling better since I moved to a new place, at my pervious apartment my neighbors cooking would give me horrid MS. Emotionally in doing ok I have my moments where I start to wonder if we can really afford for me to be a SAHM.
-still waiting for my February 2nd appt. hope my OB can tell us the sex!
- rants: I absolutely hate moving!!! I hope to turn in my keys today for the old apartment and use the weekend to unpack. Raves: really loving our new place! I will love it more once I'm not living out of boxes.
QOTW: DH and I met online. I contacted him. Things professed pretty quickly for us. We were engaged after 9 months of dating then married a year after that. Then a little over a year of marriage we got our BFP!
How are you feeling physically/ emotionally? Great! Hungry!
Any updates or up coming appointments? 17w cervical check in two weeks. I am looking forward to seeing the babies again.
Any rants/ raves? I think my pg hormones are affecting DH. He has been extra moody lately which is difficult for me to handle.
QOTW: Where did you meet your SO/DH? Senior year of college. Funny story, we met at a party and I don't even remember him! His best friend also has the same name and I thought he is the one who asked me out, not my DH! lol
16weeks 4days
How are you feeling physically/ emotionally?
Feeling pretty good. Came down with some bronchitis
Any updates or up coming appointments?
16week ultrasound looked fine. They're both very active but I wish I could feel movement. Should I be feeling them already?
I have a 20week anatomy scam next month. Can't wait!
Any rants/ raves?
Women at work comment about how big I am already.
QOTW: Where did you meet your SO/DH?
My husband and I met through mutual friends while I was in college. We lived 2hrs apart for over 3 years until I graduated. We've been married a little over a year now. Having two beautiful bundles thanks to Clomid!
-feeling a little better. Starting to get some energy back. Still nauseous 24/7
-MFM appt was yesterday. Everything looked great. Next appt with OB is in 2 weeks and go back to MFM in 4 weeks
-Rant! We told our news to family and close friends a few weeks ago. We've just started telling everyone else. Why can't people just say "congrats" or "how exciting" when they find out we're having twins?! Why is it always "oh you poor thing", "you're going to have your hands full" (DD will have just turned 2), or "I can't imagine how you'll afford that". Although my personal favorite was "you better enjoy the nicer things in life now bc you'll never enjoy them again" and it took every fiber of my hormonal being not to hit them in the face haha
-QOTW: We met on a double date in college. My best friend was dating his best friend. I thought he was terrible. Ha! But he called me every day for 2 weeks afterward until I agreed to go out with him again, and we've been together 11 years
I am tired, probably because sleeping doesn't work. Between having to pee 2-3 times a night, not finding a single comfortable position, random limbs going numb and our stupid dog deciding she wants out of her kennel every time I go to the bathroom so she whines for 30 minutes every time... Yeah, sleep just seems to elude me. I have also been short on patience lately so emotions have been kind of wonky.
Next appointment is Jan 30. DH can't make it so I am hoping they don't say anything to give away the sexes. I was finally able to make our 20 week ultrasound appointment today (after an hour of going crazy on some apparently lazy people who should not be running a business in the medical field). That is now set for Feb 17 and DH should be able to actually make it, yay!
Rants - yeah everything lately cause I am tired and grumpy (see all of above, and so much more). Raves - DH let's me vent and then offers me chocolate. I love him!
I met DH at work. We were coworkers in different buildings or on different shifts for several years, including one deployment, before we ended up actually having a really conversation. We became pretty quick friends after that and he has been my best friend and rock ever since. So we got married, moved from one coast to the other and found ourselves unexpectedly expecting not just one baby but two, all in the last year.
Finally coming out of the nauseous phase, starting to get hungry. I'm still SO tired though and I feel exceptionally emotional that last few days! My poor husband just gets to deal with it.
Our next appt is in 2 weeks. Just a normal 16 week check in. We are seeing midwives and so far nothing in the protocol has been different from when we had our daughter.
Rants- I agree with previous posts on people's comments. It's fun to share the news of twins and I know it's a blessing. However, I still have moments of worry and freak and concern, I don't need that reminder from every person we share our news with too.
My DH and I met 8.5 years ago through friends who were dating. His roommate was dating my best friend. After having out often all summer he finally asked me on a date. Now here we are, married 3.5 years, have a daughter who is 2.5, and growing our family by 2 more this summer!
I'm still very nauseous and just waiting for the second trimester in hopes of losing the nausea. But emotionally I think I'm ok. I still run the numbers and even with my excellent salary and hubby's new job it's going to be hard have 3 kiddos all under 2. We'll make it work tho.
Rant- I'm just tired and tired of people and supervisors being stupid and self centered my job is stressful enough. Stop adding to it. Rave- I'm so excited for my hubby to start his new job. He's so excited too. He's an excellent worker and is amazing at what he does now but he is moving on to better things.
I met my hubby while we were both working as graduate assistants in a college in the teacher education department. We were both working on graduate degrees. My husband is very tall muscular and in my opinion handsome. And I didn't think he would be interested in me in 1 million years. But he started if winking at me the first week we worked together. He had just came to the states from Africa and didn't know anyone. So we talked a lot and not even a year later we were married. A year after that we had our daughter and now 3 years later we are pregnant with beautiful twins
Feeling: I have a bad cold so I'm super tired/cranky/sore from coughing & blowing my nose but at least I'm not nauseous!!!
Appointments: I had an appointment on Tuesday and we found out that we are having two baby boys!!! They are big and healthy and we are so excited!!!!!
Rants: Stupid winter, stupid snow, stupid cold
Raves: Feeling good beside the cold & found out that I've only gained 4 lbs since I got pregnant
DH and I have been together for about 9 years. We met at work and after dating for 5 months moved in together & two hours away to Albany, where the cost of living was more affordable. We moved back to my home town about 7 yrs ago & got married in Oct 2012.
- Morning sickness has eased up a tiny bit but I'm beginning to start to feel more tired. Working retail 8-12 hours shifts is starting to take a toll on my body. Emotionally I am up and down all the time. I've learned things about my family recently that have honestly shocked me.
- OB appt was last week and 1st specialist appt on Wednesday.
- I've lost 11 pounds with this pregnancy and am told I will lose more as I was overweight to begin with. But I am a little sad that I don't show yet. I am so proud to be pregnant but no one believes me that I am since I'm now telling people the news when they make a comment like "wow, you're looking good! Have you lost weight?"
- SO and I met about 10 years ago, probably online. Honestly, he was more into me than I was into him. We had an on and off relationship (never for bad reason so we always stayed friends) but within the last year and a half started back up again.
-Emotionally I've been great and physically I'm still quite tired. Lower back pain as been an issue for a couple of weeks but it has been easing up. This weekend was first experience with my ankles swelling already.
- Next appointment is Jan 30 which I'm anxious for another ultrasound.
- None this week! Can't wait to find out the sexes!
- QOTW: My husband and I actually met in middle school when he moved to my hometown. We dated in 8th grade and then we're best friends through the end of high school and early college years. We started dating my sophomore year of college and continued dating for almost 10 years and now have been married for 1 year.
Emotionally: been feeling fine. A bit overwhelmed with the new circumstances but I know that it will all work out. We aren't handed things we can't handle
Physically: been a bit sore in the back area and stomach area from throwing up so much and so often. BUT since the Dr. Prescribed meds for the nausea I have been feeling like an entirely NEW person!!! So happy for that!!!!
Appointments: had an appt today for the NT testing. Got to see the little babies again
Rants- none yet....
Raves- tell me the GENDERS!!!# Can't wait for that!!!!
How we met- we met at a country music festival here in CA called "Stagecoach", became great friends and eventually Roomates, and ended up falling completely in love
17 weeks today!
How are you feeling physically/ emotionally?
Physically I am doing well. Having some RLP & back pain but not to bad. Emotionally, I have days where I just want to cry & then there's days I am in a very good mood!
Any updates or up coming appointments?
Next appoinment is Feb 2nd & we will be able to find out the sexes of the babies!
Any rants/ raves?
My belly is starting to pop out a little but there is still fat surrounding it so it's hard to tell if I'm pregnant or just fat still lol. My DH has been so good to me & our DD!
QOTW: Where did you meet your SO/DH?
We met @ work ab 10 1/2 years ago. Started dating in april 05, got married september 07 & had our DD in august 08!
