I can't promise to remember to post it every Monday on time, so feel free to post our 2nd tri check in it you want. Please forgive me if I missed any updates.
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: Are you pumpkin obsessed like the rest of the country or not?

26 weeks tomorrow. Started working from home today, major bore. I need my office ladies to chat with on break! I expect to be out of the office until March, which seems like such a long time. DH doesn't really want me to drive anymore, so that and working from I feel like I've lost some degree of independence. Have to keep these babies cooking as long as possible!
Next Tuesday is very busy- glucose test, 845 regular OB apt and 230 perinatal apt. One MFM apt makes for a long day as the drive to Houston is two hours.
I like pumpkin coffee, bread, ice cream (Dairy Queen has pumpkin pie blizzards FYI!) BUT I do not like pumpkin pie or any variation similar.
Two years, two losses and three IUIs...
We are having TRIPLETS!
EDD 1/26/16
GGB born November 2015!
@jeannaqueena thanks for taking over the check in! I am nervous about the glucose test also. I think I will lose my mind if I have to go back to needles after such a short break! (And the restrictions...)

26 weeks and 4 days here, I can't believe week 27 starts on Thursday. My glucose screen is next weds, and I'm a little nervous about it too. Other than that, not much new here.
I like most pumpkin things. Mm pumpkin bread....
QOTW: I love pumpkin things but I don't go crazy or obsessed with it. I like the occasional PSL and I bought some pumpkin muffin mix but I don't go out of my way to get everything pumpkin. But I always have to have pumpkin pie at thanksgiving!
@jeannaqueena hope you don't have GD again
@Kelley421 funny you like pumpkin things but don't like pumpkin pie? Lol
So glad to hear everyone is doing well!
QOTH: nope on the pumpkin (with the exception of pie) but apple cider... That's another story! Ha
@efhoping2010 flavored steamed milk sounds yummy
