    How far along are you? What size are the babies? 19w5d, b/g di/di babies are the size of mangoes or grapefruits (same as last week's check-in since it posted that one so late in the week! :anguished: )

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? none right now. next ultrasound appt is Monday 9/18 for anatomy scan part 2! hurry up, i want to see the twins again!

    How are you feeling? tired. sleeping longer than a few hours is pretty much impossible between being uncomfortable and having to pee 3-4 times a night. blah. 

    What rants/raves/questions/advice? We painted the nursery this weekend! woo-hoo! (well, DH and my dad painted the nursery...they wouldn't let me in the room even though the paint is no/low-VOC. i helped by taping the trim. I'll post a pic once i download them from my phone.

    QOTW: What is your favorite comfort food/activity? Food: mac and cheese, and ice cream. activity: cooking and reading. and taking a bath but i'm trying to limit those since i like the water to be really hot...

  • How far along are you? What size are the babies?
    23 weeks today!  They were 1 pound, and 1 pound 1 oz last week.  This week, I only know they're papayas!  Mo/di identical girls

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? 
    I had a second fetal echocardiogram this morning (because baby B has a defect in her umbilical cord, single artery, which can be associated with heart defects).  Both hearts look good!

    How are you feeling? 
    Relieved to have a good appointment this morning, and good MFM appointment last week (they were right on target for growth, no sign of TTTS).  I also feel huge, and tired.

    What rants/raves/questions/advice? 
    Not this time

    QOTW: What is your favorite comfort food/activity?
    mac and cheese, with tuna and hot sauce
    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

  • How far along are you? What size are the babies?

    13wks 4d. They are lemons or jalapenos 

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? 

    No appointments this week other than going for an elective ultrasound to find out genders!

    How are you feeling? 

    Im still tired and dizzy at times.

    What rants/raves/questions/advice? 

    When do your Drs. Say you will deliver? How tall are you? I heard that if you are shorter than 64inches then you are more at risk of delivering early.

    QOTW: What is your favorite comfort
    food/activity?

    I would say pizza, but lately not all pizza is as tasty as it used to be.
  • @KLake42 im glad both hearts are good that is scary! Mac and cheese with tuna and hot sauce sounds like something to try!
  • Hi Ladies! sorry for the delayed check in!! Hope everyone is doing well.

    How far along are you? What size are the babies?

    23w1d - b/g di/di, babies are the size of bunch of grapes

    Any appointments this week/last? How did it go? 

    Yes, had a check in with my OB yesterday - didn't do an ultrasound just listened for heartbeats Baby A (boy) was in the 140s and Baby B (girl) was in the 150s... Doctor said my a/s looked perfect so that's good! Go back to the MFM on Tuesday for a growth scan and a to try to get more pictures of Baby B's heart - she wouldn't cooperate last time.

    How are you feeling? 

    Good... large... feeling them move a lot more which makes me happy but also makes sleeping difficult. Got up to go to the bathroom @ 4:45 this AM and couldn't get back to sleep :( tossed and turned until my alarm at 6:45. ugh!

    What rants/raves/questions/advice? 

    We just got back from our babymoon in Orlando late Wednesday evening... it was SO nice and relaxing and I saw so many other Mom-to-be's! Now reality is setting in of all the things we have to do/buy before these munckins get here. HOPEFULLY they will finish our bathroom today - it was completed and then we found a major problem they are having to correct by going in through our master closet.... fingers crossed its DONE so we can move on to the next project (IT WAS SUPPOSE TO BE DONE BY THE END OF JUNE.......)

    QOTW: What is your favorite comfort food/activity? Mac & Cheese, Ice cream, Chips and Queso... Typically my activity is running but I haven't been doing that during pregnancy and I really miss it.

    @momma6angels11 My doctors have told me no later than 38 weeks... but to expect them somewhere between 35-36. I go back to the MFM on Tuesday and they will check my cervix again to make sure its nice and closed. I'm 67 inches and not a "little" girl to begin with - size 10/12 and athletic.  

  • @Mudge85 thanks for the much needed info!!
