@Lynnlove28 that would have been cute!! Too bad! I on the other hand was supposed to get mine the week before but requested it for the 28th so that I wouldn't be tempted to let it slip at Easter... we're keeping the sex a secret til our reveal party on April 8th.
We had our 16 week visit yesterday. My DH and 6yo DD were able to make it to the appointment as well. My doctor is wonderful she asked DD is she wanted to help so she did. She got to put the jelly on my belly and even got to hold the Doppler. She was very excited. It was wonderful to hear her little sisters heart beat too (145-150).
Had an appt today with my OB (at 14w5d) and everything was good. My uterus is really high already (almost to my belly button) and she said I'm measuring a month ahead and that is normal with twins. Got to hear both heartbeats again today and both were in the 150s! Yay! Next week we have our 16 week ultrasound to see how they are measuring.
Got to hear the heartbeat today AND my principal said I did not have to put in for a half day since its a teacher work day because of voting. That's a huge win because my sick days are now like gold to me.
@rikopy I use Vega One- All in One Nutritional Shake. You can buy it at GNC, but I order from Amazon, much cheaper. They come in all different flavors, however I've only tried French vanilla and berry. Both are decent! This particular brand is all plant based and this product has 20 grams of protein per serving. I like it best served very cold and either shaken in a shaker cup with water, ice or almond milk or blender with spinach/fruits! My doctor gave me the green light to keep using it so I will. I'd suggest running it past your doctor first just to make sure it's ok for you!
I had one yesterday at 16w2d, and we found out the sex!!! IT'S A BOY!! We are SOOO EXCITED! Everything with baby looks healthy! I got a second blood test done, and Thyroid is good (I had some low Thyroid issues earlier last year) but I do have some anemia so I am supposed to take extra Iron supplements. Baby is a whole 6 ounces! Which I think is bigger than usual. My husband and his brother were HUGE babies, so maybe that's a sign my boy will be big. Haha.
I forgot to post about my appointment last week. We went in at 16W3D. We heard baby's heartbeat again. It's slowing down and was only 151 this time, It was 168 and 161 at the previous 2 appointments. We go back on the 30th for my regular visit with the OB and also for the Anatomy scan.
Had a OB appt today 18weeks&3days. Testing all came back negative. Our little baby did not want to be found today for HB. So my OB gave me a U/S and was great seeing our LO and finally hearing the HB but she/he still wouldn't keep still lol. Also got some more pics. Love my OB. Next visit in 4weeks and will be doing a anatomy scan soon but waiting to hear for a appt.
Had an appointment today, just a check-up and also my 1 hour glucose and blod draw for the spina bifida test. So kind of a boring one, but I got to hear baby's heartbeat and also the doctor said he or she was moving around a lot in there, so that's good! I had hoped to talk my way into an ultrasound today by asking questions about my fibroid. The doctor wasn't there for the ultrasound where they found the fibroid, so I thought maybe if I asked questions about it, she'd want to see it for herself. And then I could try to find out the sex! Sneaky, I know, but my anatomy scan isn't till almost 21 weeks and I'm itching to find out the sex. But it didn't work, apparently the ultrasound tech had given her a good enough description. On the plus side, she did let me know that the fibroid is up at the top end of the uterus where it won't get in the way of delivery (for the record, I did have legit questions about the fibroid). It's not likely to cause me any trouble, but even if that changes there is plenty of time to address any issues.
Also, I was a little shocked to find out I've only gained a pound since my 12 week appointment. I feel like I've gotten so much bigger (I certainly look bigger and require bigger clothes), but it must not amount to much in terms of pounds. I gained more between my 8 week and 12 week than I did this time. It must be because I was so inactive during that chronically-exhausted phase. Now I have some energy back so I'm not so sedentary. Anyway, it was a relief to know I haven't' been overdoing it on the food.
