Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding Out
Baby is the size of a(n): Green pea until tomorrow (eeee can't wait- love the weekly update!)
Upcoming appts: July 17th some kind of genetic screening (US + bloodwork) that's covered by insurance for low risk pregnancies
How are you feeling?: nauseated, exhausted, moody, bloated, boobalicious, but overall perky still. Being outside and ice water are my saving graces! Outside smells > inside smells
Rants/Raves: I am already wearing maternity bottoms. Picked up the shared box my BFF and I pass, and went ahead and shopped for a couple new pieces to add to it. Yeah stretchy things are so much more comfortable! Also, I have a feeling I'm going to look HUGE this time around...
Questions: nada
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? Equal partnership! All day long. From what I've seen and read it's a rare and special thing we've got going on.

Rants/Raves: I started taking my pre-natal vitamins at night and am feeling less queasy in the morning.
Questions: None at the moment
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He is simply agreeable. He is willing to help out with anything.
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out for sure!
Baby is the size of a(n): lentil
Upcoming appts: Wednesday is our introductory assessment with the OB and Friday is our heartbeat ultrasound. It will be our second peek at the babies!
How are you feeling?: nauseated and constipated.
Rants/Raves: I have a great reason to eat all the pho I want!
Questions: any suggestions on the constipation relief?
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He lets me run out A/C all day. ❤️ (I love a lot more about him, but right now that A/C makes him a saint.)
team finding out: definitely finding out!
Baby is the size of a: blueberry
upcoming apts: had our first ultrasound today!
How are you feeling? The nausea has been extreme. Feeling so tired and craving buffalo wings (I don’t eat meat) but I did today!
Rants/raves: morning sickness aka ALL day sickness sucks. Pregnancy is WEIRD lol
questions: baby is measuring earlier than we thought is there a reason behind this?
What I love most about my spouse: he’s my absolute best friend ever
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): chocolate chip
Upcoming appts: still sitting here waiting for my July 11th appt
How are you feeling?: nausea is getting real. Still needing daily naps.
Rants/Raves: pulled out the sea bands and they seem to be helping the nausea. The only thing is that it makes it clear to others that something is up — why else would I be wearing them?
Questions: not yet!
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? His sense of humor. I tend to be the anxious and stressed one and he helps me calm down :-)
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: NIPT in week 10, so as soon as possible!
Baby is the size of a(n): Peanut? I was measured yesterday at 1cm!
Upcoming appts: High risk here, so I will probably have another US within the next week max 2.
How are you feeling?: Honestly... ok! My boobs hurt a bit, I feel tired and most food doesn't look all that appetising and I want to kill everyone I speak to but other that that i've been pretty asymptomatic.
Rants/Raves: Found out yesterday I have a very tiny Chorioamniotic separation. Doc said it's really common and not to worry. But Google is not helping! I have had very very very light spotting from time to time over the last feel weeks all of which makes me nervous to do pretty much ANYTHING, including BD (even though I suppose the term baby dance doesn't really apply anymore, huh?).
Questions: This may sound odd, but is anyone else using a tracking bracelet or apple watch and notice a huge drop in resting pulse rate??? Mine is holding low at 55 after dropping off from 67 and I've been feeling lightheaded.
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He's a doer! When things need to get done, he gets things done, which is an area i've been lacking in as I haven't had much energy at all.

Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): uncooked macaroni according to Bump
Upcoming appts: Saturday I have an appt with the RE who will measure the baby to estimate the due date (I think that this might be my "graduation" appointment, since he said a few weeks ago that I would only see him until 8 weeks), and then next Tuesday (7/2) I have my first OBGYN appt where they will do the same thing, lol.
How are you feeling?: The last couple days have been rough. Tired all the time and there have been a couple cases where the nausea gets so strong at work that I have to stop working and get up and walk it off.
Rants/Raves: Because I've been so tired, I've been procrastinating on my final paper for my current grad school class. It's due on Monday, I'm only halfway done, I'm exhausted, and this weekend is our anniversary so really I need to have at least a first draft by Friday if I want to have any time to spend with hubby. I'm a little stressed about it.
Questions: None that haven't been already asked/answered.
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? His sense of humor and calm. I can be a little all over the place, emotionally speaking, but he is a rock. Also, he's a great person to hug because he is always warm and I am always cold.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Now that we have confirmed twins, I'm leaning toward team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): altoid!
Upcoming appts: another ultrasound this Friday
How are you feeling?: Good, anxiety not fully gone yet. Chest beginning to hurt a bit more, and nausea about the same, just kinda dull all day. Very tired and unmotivated though.
Rants/Raves: Just bought myself a 5 pack of front zip sports bras on amazon, and I am quite excited about them.
Questions: Any moms who have experience with twins, wondering opinions on types of strollers, or any other baby gear things I might want double of. I know I won't need doubles of everything, but is there anything you suggest I definitely look into?
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He's always there for me, no matter what. He's been super helpful with cravings already too, running to the store for my random shopping lists while I'm home nauseous but somehow still hungry! Also he's a googler as well, so he's done his research on risks and things I need and he's been taking very good care of me.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Pink!
Baby is the size of a(n): Honey Bee
Upcoming appts: July 3rd - Bloodwork and Ultrasound at the RE's office
How are you feeling?: Exhausted!
Rants/Raves: It's so hard to find something that sounds good to eat but I'm hungry so I feel like I just wander around the kitchen.
Questions: None that haven't already been asked.
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? TTC has been a very long process for us and he has been amazing through all the ups and downs! So understanding, supportive and he's been great at giving me all the intramuscular shots I've needed throughout the process.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Haven't decided! I currently don't care to find out but we will see if that changes.
Baby is the size of a(n): altoid
Upcoming appts: 7.2 for the first US
How are you feeling?: Exhausted.
Rants/Raves: Although I feel exhausted all day long, I am struggling to fall asleep at night or I wake up for an hour or two in the middle of the night. I've previously been the "I can sleep anywhere, anytime" type so its driving me a but nuts.
Questions:
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? He's incredibly calm. No matter the situation, he takes it in stride. It's a great balance to our relationship!
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: finding out, third after 2 boys.
Baby is the size of a(n): Blueberry
Upcoming appts: July 8-9 week aptmt unless I bleed again
How are you feeling?: Exhausted and sore breasts. But anxious because little nausea an no aversions. So different from my last pregnancy!

Questions: None that haven't already been asked.
Team finding out/pink/blue/green: Team finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): blueberry
Upcoming appts: Monday! Intake & ultrasound.
How are you feeling?: good. A bit tired (but I go to bed early, because I have an 18 month old) and some waves of nausea, but that’s it. Very similar to my first pregnancy.
Rants/Raves: I sometimes can’t believe I’m pregnant. I feel good, there’s hardly any bloating. Is this real life?
Questions: -
GTKY: What do you love most about your SO? That he’s who I come home too.
@vdphillips Oh yum - buffalo wings sound amazing! Agree on the all day sickness, the sparkling mama drinks and unisom have been my saving grace!
@aleciaraez I haven't even looked into the seabands yet! Maybe you can use vertigo as an excuse? Lol!
@kaeineurope You have so much going on! But you are in such good hands! Maybe it's worth talking to your doctor about the resting heart rate!
@noxacanthus Yay for seeing baby a lot, though! Oh man, hope you can get some energy mustered up to get that paper done! Happy early anniversary!
@alseltzer Oh yes - the front zip bras are a game changer!!! Maybe posting in the mega baby gear thread you might get some hits from others who have twins! There's already so much good info!
@stacie111 Sorry about not knowing what to eat but being hungry!
@scheifhm Maybe talk to your doctor about the trouble sleeping at night? I was told to do unisom for morning sickness but it's been helping with my restlessness I've been having.
@gerlam5 Sending all the love your way!
@FakeFinn Yay! Monday is so close! Dang - how cool about hardly any bloating and feeling good lol.
