This is a weekly check-in for those in their 2nd trimester: weeks 14 through the end of week 27.
Congrats to all the strong ladies who have made it this far! It's such a great feeling and we've all accomplished so much! We are now 1 week closer to the end of this epically long journey we call "infertility".
Please post below a little about yourself, how many beans you have growing inside, if you have found out the sex(es) and what your EDD is. Please also let us know how far you've made it on your journey and when your next appt is and what for.
QOTW: What were some of your favorite books as a child to read or have read to you?

Re: ***2nd tri check-in- 8/10/15***
EDD 8/01/16 but being told to expect an eager arrival!
So I had another bleed form also under the placenta but the old one reabsorbed. Docs put me on daily progesterone jabs and continue the strict bed rest! 16 days in bed so far ... Yikes!
A friend had come to stay which has been great and I'm getting loads of bed bound stuff done.
I can feel baby move too! Loving it!!!
I'm taking things a day at a time, ducks started scaring me a little saying I may not be able to fly commercially so now looking into options such as medical flight to SOuth Afica. But I'm holding on to the hope that this is my last hematoma and I'll be able to fly Europe and stay with my mum!
Same question as last week?!
Well I'm now planning details of trips to take with babies! Bed rest is good lots of time to research! It's interesting that as tines gone on I have realized you either find the good or lose your mind ..... So far I still got my mind!
QOTW: I loved reading so much, still do really! Name a classic or favorite children's book and we have probably read it- as a child or with DD. I'm sure these babies will love being having books read to them!

Welcome, @potatocastillo!
QOTW: I loved A Wrinkle in Time, I read a lot as a kid and that one always stayed with me.
@emcarl24, the waiting for the scan is the worst! We did no testing on either baby and haven't seen them since 12w. We've been anxiously awaiting our a/s but now that it's in 3 days, I'm dreading it and wishing time would slow down!
@somewhereinafrica yikes! Glad the old bleed reabsorbed, hope this new one does too, and quickly!
@Kelley421 that movement sounds fun!
@Knottie4978096 how crazy and frustrating! Glad you are switching soon.
As for me...18w1d, still no movement Had a checkup today, hb 150 on the Doppler so that was awesome. Had NT blood work done today, results should be in 2 weeks. A/s in 2 weeks, that should be fun. My allergies are still terrible but other than that (and the tiredness) I am feeling pretty good!
QOTW: I love to read. Childhood faves include The Little Princess and the Anne of Green Gables series (really all of LM Montgomery) and...I'll be here all day if I keep going. looking forward to reading anything and everything with my girls - DD1 gets a bedtime story every night and it will be so much more fun when she really understands the stories!
