All Welcome
QOTD: I felt movement for the first time at 16.5 weeks. I was laying down and felt a flutter and wasn't sure if that was it, but after that the movement increased in strength and frequency every day. Now I feel her constantly and I just can't get enough. My DH was able to feel around 18 weeks from the outside.
I had my a/s on Thurs. Everything looks good. Baby is measuring in the 52nd percentile. I'm 21w4d!
QOTD: I think I finally started feeling some spidery flutters this week!!
Side note: I'm not good at counting back from due dates for last week as you can see!! Haha! I appreciate the reminders of what week you're on to keep me straight.
Have a great week!

PAIF/SAIF always welcome! Its a girl!
TTC#2 No birth control since DD was born. Getting ready to jump back in the saddle. Weaning this month. RE
appt scheduled 5/8. Here we go again!

I am 15 weeks and 5 days today. I had my OB check up yesterday and baby's heart sounded great. We scheduled our next appointment and u/s for April 6th, and I can't wait to see a healthy baby and hopefully find out the sex.
QOTD: I have thought that I felt flutters a few times, but I'm still waiting to really feel movement. I felt DS for the first time at 16 weeks, so I am assuming I will start feeling lots of movement soon.
@starlightgator Thinking of you and praying for your twins!
