DSculley1824 · April 2015

Hi all. 22 weeks 4 days here. V-Day keeps getting closer and closer and I keep getting more anxiety. Can't wait to cross that milestone. As for me, I had kidney stones last week so it's been interesting dealing with intense pain with no pain meds. I don't go back to the OBGYN for another 2 weeks. This time between appts feels like it's taking forever!!

QOTD: Probably a combination of all of the above. I have a few friends who are only a few weeks/months ahead of me so I like to ask them a lot of questions plus forums like this and reading.

Julie21613 · April 2015

@caringcat, thanks for doing this!!

26 weeks today....can't believe I'll be graduating to 3rd tri next week! Where has the time gone! I had an u/s last week with my MFM. Both babies looked great both measuring just under 2 lbs each. I see my OB in 2 weeks. Girls are future gymnasts in there!

QOTW: I would say all of the above... also, a friend of mine had twos so I bounce things off of her all the time!

J&D2007 · April 2015

Hey! I'm now 21 weeks and counting the days to V day. I feel the anxiety too, DSculley. I have a routine OB appt next week, but don't expect to learn anything new. QOTW: I don't know much! I have done a pretty good job of not looking ahead yet. I downloaded one book but am having a really hard time getting through it.

sorrellam30 · April 2015

25 weeks tomorrow, I have an appointment this afternoon I'm a little nervous about weight gain but I swear it's all in my boobs!! It's ridiculous really.
QOTD-I think I utilize friends and Internet equally

fjamil1 · April 2015

23w2d's, counting down days to V-Day. nothing new to report. I do have MFM appointment next Monday.

QOTD: I get most of my info from forums and Mr. Google, online research. Usually, people turn to me for information IRL.

Justone13 · April 2015

Hi all! 20w 4d now. Had my appt last Thursday. Found out it's a girl! I'm so excited! I've been working on the nursery. We have the paint just need DH to take care of that. Lol. I patched the holes and am getting the furniture together. It was my moms baby furniture and then mine. Right now we are on our Babymoon. It's beautiful and just what I needed. I guess little girls too because she's moving like crazy!

QOTW: my friend and doctor. I read the mayo clinic pregnancy book but I feel like I already knew all that.

CaringCat · April 2015

Hi Ladies -
26w4d today - almost third tri!! @Julie21613 does that make this our last check-in?? Or do we stay for one more week? I can't get that straight!

We had a 3d/4d US for my bday. I was in heaven! It was so amazing to see our little guy.

QOTD: I love the two books DH and I are reading right now especially the happiest baby on the block. Highly recommended!

cshm11 · April 2015

I think I'm finally joining you all!

EDD (and team if you know - or team green if you aren't finding out)
October 10, 2015 - c/s scheduled for 39 weeks at the latest (preterm labor issues) - still don't know gender

- How far along you are
14 weeks 2 days

- Any appointments or other updates
Next OB appointment on May 5th, anatomy scan with MFM on May 26th.

QOTD: What are your best sources for pregnancy information? Books? People? Forums? Mr. Google?

Probably books and previous experience. But I have good books - nursing school books!

katers79 · April 2015

21w5d with the kids! Feeling good- not much new going on. OB appt last wk, and everyone is right on track. My weight is finally up where they want it, so it was nice to not get a talking-to about eating more.

QOTW- I have 100 books but I can't get into them. Mostly Internet and friends.

Justone13 · April 2015

@CaringCat I second happiest baby on the block. I watched the video. Looks great and I tired it on a friends kid it works!!!

TLooney17 · April 2015

I'm 20 weeks 4 days today. Since founding out it's a girl last week, I ordered the nursery bedding and bought a bunch of girl clothes. I may have gone a little crazy with the clothes, but since we will not be having a shower this time around I feel like buying everything is up to us.

QOTW: I used people, books and internet. I just make sure I trust the person or source that I am referencing. Also, the first time around I felt like my instincts really kicked in and that helped me to know what source gave info that would work for me.

MiromiM · April 2015

@caringcat

I'm pregnant with only one baby but I won't know what the sex is until the 29th.

lawmom747 · April 2015

Thanks @caringcat for the check-in.

I'm 24 weeks and so thankful to have reached V-Day. No baby related appointments until next week which is a nice break since I feel like I have been living at the doctor's office.

QOTD: What are your best sources for pregnancy information? Books? People? Forums? Mr. Google?
During pregnancy with DD I read books, read information online, talked to friends and took birthing classes, etc. I had a lot more time on my hands back then. This time, with a 3 year old at home, I've slacked off a bit. My focus has been more on reading books and articles related to the twin pregnancy. I also joined the local Mothers of Multiples group which meets once a month and has been an amazing resource.

Julie21613 · April 2015

@caringcat, I think this is our last check in on 2nd tri....correct me if I'm wrong ladies....but I think once you hit 27 weeks you are in the 3rd tri... or is it after you complete 27 weeks? So confusing!

**edited*** just read this on 3rd tri check in... once more week for us!

This
is a weekly check-in for members in their 3rd trimester. You can join
at 28 weeks and we will bid you an excited farewell when you greet your
little ones! If you are new, please include your EDD and team.

KevinandJesse · April 2015

Thanks @caringcat for the check in

and thanks @julie21613 - I was actually wondering that myself - at 26w+3d we are coming up close to the 3rd tri too

Everything is going well over here! Spent the weekend with our surrogate at the Cherry Blossom festival in DC - had an amazing time! So much fun! Our LO is really starting to move around in there, but with an anterior placenta it is still a bit hard for us to feel/see - but our surrogate sure is!

We have an ultrasound on the 29th to check on growth and head circumference - really hoping everything checks out ok!!!
