Happy Monday everyone how is your morning thus far? Let's hear about how all of us carrying more than one baby are doing. There's a lot going on in there.
1. How was your father's day?
2. How far along are you and what fruit corresponds ?
3. Have you announced on social media?
4. Do you know what type of twins you are having? Anyone having more than 2 babies?
5. How much weight have you gained?
6. Do you exercise?
7. What are your symptoms?
Here are my responses.
1. Father's day is almost perfect except my husband wasn't here. He's deployed so I spent it with my parents and other family and friends. We hung out at the beach and cooked a great dinner for my dad. I did get to chat with my husband which always makes me happy.
2. 10w 2d. Kumquat
3. Not yet. Saving that for when we find out the sexes.
4. Not sure yet, the doctor wasn't able to tell yet at my last appt at 7 weeks but they are in separate sacs.
5. 4 lbs as of yesterday. Wowzers!
6. Yes but not nearly as much as I used to. I walk on incline about 4 times a week and lift weights (small ones) about once a week.
7. Light headed this morning after my walk and not having eaten anything yet. Extreme fatigue. Heartburn and headache. No energy. Can I just sleep?? Please.

Re: Multiples Check In - June 22nd
2. 11 weeks 6 days and a lime is the fruit, I believe tomorrow when I'm 12 weeks it's a plum.
3. Nope. Our kids don't even know yet!
4. Dr believes they are di/di twins, but I have an ultrasound at 13 weeks to confirm.
5. No idea
6. I used to exercise every day and did intense workouts, now I'm lucky if I have the energy to go to the gym and walk on the treadmill.
7. Symptoms are nausea, exhaustion, sore boobs, food aversion.
1. My father passed away a few years ago and my husband's family is in Australia. We had some friends over for the weekend and we did a lot of barbecuing. Lots of fun!
2. I am currently carrying two wild strawberries!
3. We probably won't post anything on social media until we have actual babies in our arms.
4. They have two separate sacs...that's all the info we have.
5. I weighed myself for this question.
6. I've been exercising, but much less intensely than before. I have a huge corpus luteum cyst and I am supposed to be careful about it bursting because of the pain that would ensue. The nausea and fatigue doesn't help either.
7. Nausea, fatigue, sore nipples, cramps when I move suddenly, bathroom issues and crazy bloating ("are you expecting a baby soon?"), irritability, weird weird dreams.
2. Raspberries! I am eager to be farther along/jealous of you that are.
3. We have not posted on social media, I am thinking we will around 12-13 weeks. I have a cute idea in mind ;-)
4. We are having fraternal twins. Are any mamas of multiples out there NOT finding out the sex? My brother is giving us a really hard time about finding out. (we plan on it)
5. I am down 2 lbs.
6. I used to exercise every day. My doc said not to have my heart rate over 120, so between that and a complete lack of energy, I have only been walking so far.
7. Heartburn, nausea, constipation are my worst symptoms so far. My boobs haven't really grown yet (disappointingly)
Here we go:
1. Didn't do much for father's day - we had a family function on Saturday and I was EXHAUSTED. We'll be seeing the soon to be grandpas later this week for dinner though.
2. I'm 10w6d, and the kids are the size of prunes!
3. We haven't announced on social media although we have told our parents and close friends. We'll be telling more family and friends in the coming weeks either by phone or in person and saving the Facebook announcement for when we find out the sexes.
4. The kids are di/di! I have a feeling it's a boy and a girl... time will tell!
5. I haven't gained any weight - I actually lost about 8lbs early on due to nausea. I can't stomach any junk food so I've been maintaining. I'm overweight to begin with so losing a bit isn't a major concern.
6. I've had zero energy to exercise but as soon as it returns I'll start walking. Nothing like the kickboxing I was doing before pregnancy!
7. Nausea!! Although it seems to be letting up. I feel better more than not these days. And I've definitely got that round ligament pain going on. Things are getting stretched out in there to make way for the kids!
1. Our parents knew we are expecting. We found out on mother's day and told them because the husband couldn't wait. My sister's in-laws didn't know yet so we were happy to get a huge response from my sister's mil when my dad opened his "number 1 grandpa" shirt.
2. Around 11 weeks. I guessed 11w5d but today they measured 10w6d. We have two limes/figs.
3. We have told a lot of friends but are waiting to post anything until after we tell the husband's family on July 4th.
4. They look fraternal. The wall between them is thick. I am also a fraternal twin.
5. I'm not sure. I think I have actually lost some but I'm plus size anyway.
6. Climbing the stairs at my job or walking the long building is making me winded. Dr told me today it is ok as long as I catch my breath when resting. I'm not doing any marathons (except on Netflix. Orange is the New Black)
7. Nausea and lots of it. Still tired all the time. I feel like I could sleep and never get up except to pee.
2. I'm in my 11th week - limes!
3. Nope not yet. I think we'll wait awhile on this...definitely want to have my next ultrasound to confirm (the doctor mentioned the vanishing twin syndrome to us which has me nervous) and think it would be fun to wait until we know the genders.
4. Twins! From why I understand we are having di/di. We were so surprised that a lot of what the doctor said we don't really remember and we definitely didn't ask the right questions.
5. How much weight have you gained? I think now it is around 2 pounds. My weight fluctuates so much from morning to evening it is hard to tell.
6. Do you exercise? HAH! I haven't exercised since my 6th week of pregnancy. Typically I like to jog/bike but have had absolutely no energy or desire to leave the house after work.
7. Symptoms are slowly getting better! I'm still nauseous most of the day but have longer stretches where I feel like myself and have an appetite. Morning is definitely the worst for me and it takes awhile for me to feel decent enough to start getting ready for work. I've also been waking up more during the night and am then unable to fall back to sleep.
1. Father's Day went well. Spent it with my step dad and family. I gave him a shirt that says "the best dads get promoted to grandpa." I think he kinda wanted to cry. He's so happy. Haha
2. I'm 10 weeks - two little prunes!
3. Not yet. We are waiting another 3 wks and announcing on fb for our 5th anniversary!
4. I think fraternal. We aren't positive yet, though.
5. 2 pds. Whoo!
6. No, not really. But I walk all day for my job, so I'm sure I still get plenty.
7. Soooo tired. All the time. I sleep and work and that's about it.
I actually have friends who just posted on fb a birth and STILL didn't reveal the sex!
2. 9 weeks 2 days, little olives.
3. Close friends n family know and our works know waiting a bit for social media
4. Dr said di/di
5. Last appt maybe half a pound. I don't weigh myself thinking of getting scales though.
6. Not at all thinking of walking to aid in costipation.
7. EXHAUSTION, moody, constipated, peeing all the time sometimes the tatas are tender but not much of anything else.
2. 11w 5d... About the size of limes!
3. We shared on social media about a week ago.
4. Definitely fraternal twins! Can't wait to find out the sexes!
5. I have lost 13 pounds
6. Just starting to work out again. I was lifting and doing cross fit workouts consistently before getting so sick. Taking a less aggressive stance now. More flexibility, toning, and maintenance focused.
7. The morning sickness is getting better. My breasts are swelling and sore, I'm tired all the time, and have to pee constantly. Super emotional too!
1. My husband had to leave for a work trip so we just hung out around the house until his flight.
2. 10 weeks 6 days ... I think prunes!
3. We have not shared on social media yet but will in 2 weeks.
4. Our dr. Thinks we are having mono/mono twins and Will hopefully find for sure next Tuesday!!
5. I have lost 15 pounds due to 24/7 nausea. Can't wait for that to go away!!
6. I don't do much now because I can barely function!!
7. My symptoms include: awful all day nausea, constipation, insomnia, loss of appetite, and daily headaches! I'm counting the days until I feel like person again!! I can't wait to actually enjoy this pregnancy especially because it our first!!
