Re: Week 4 check-in w/o 2/24
But I did want to say that I am short of breath all of the time. This happened with the twins and I think it's only going to get worse lol.
EDD/weeks+days: 10w0d, 9/21
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Green
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: in one week to repeat ultrasound - I have a SCH they are keeping an eye on
How are you feeling? Tired, but otherwise doing okay. My appetite sucks and I'm forcing myself to eat, however, I am very thankful to not have nausea/vomiting this time around.
Raves/Rants: Now that I'm on strict pelvic rest my family is treating me like I can't do anything. It's kind of annoying since I'm very independent. It also makes me worry that if anything bad does happen they'll blame me for being stubborn.
Questions: Any of you guys dealt with a SCH before? My doctor gave me fairly strict restrictions and I feel like I can't do anything. It's difficult having twins I'm not supposed to lift.
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? I can't wait to take everyone to Disney (we live 2 hours away). I was going to take the twins at a year old but we moved and couldn't fit it in to the schedule. Now that I'm pregnant I'm not going to go. So I'm thinking I'll take everyone around the end of October/early November before I go back to work. My husband says I'm crazy but technically the kids will all be free admission and its my favorite time of year to go. I love disney (all theme parks in general).

Team finding out/Pink/Blue/Green: green for now!
Baby is the size of a: soda can tab, allegedly. As of last Thursday, almost exactly an inch!
Upcoming appointments? March 20 for NT Test.
How are you feeling? Once again, I felt like total crap yesterday but somehow made it out of the house today. I'm super tired of the first trimester but it seems like I still have sooooo long to go!
Rant/rave: my first OB appt and ultrasound last week went pretty well! My BP was through the roof at first because I was so nervous. Thankfully, they let me retake it after the ultrasound and it was like 25/5 points lower.
It was amazing to see the little wiggly worm in there, it's so hard to believe I'm KU. Of course, I still feel a bit uneasy but that's life.
GTKY: so many things!! DD have this kinda boring but still lovely tradition of getting bagels together on Saturday mornings. Can't decide if I will leave this as special for me and DD or add the baby in too. Mostly, we love camping in the summer and I can't wait to add to our little camping crew. Basically just everything (:
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): postage stamp
Upcoming appointments: a month from now
How are you feeling? Just found out this morning it’s TWINS and I’m completely shocked.
Raves/Rants: twins!!! Holy crap!!
Questions: I’m sure I will have tons of questions soon but as of right now I’m just in shock.

Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: Finding Out?
Baby is the size of a(n): green grape
Upcoming appointments: 3/10 another OB appt
How are you feeling? Aside from feeling tired, I feel pretty good! Still really sensitive to smells, food aversions strong, super bloated, and boobs are sore at night-- but that's pretty much it.
Raves/Rants: I wish I could eat healthy again, but the smell of steamed vegetables completely grosses me out. Feel guilty as the food I'm craving has basically been carbs or sweets.
Questions:
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? I love Christmas, so I cannot wait to just celebrate the holidays with our new baby. Looking forward to taking him or her camping when they're old enough.
@robyn2201 Congrats on the twins!! I feel like that twin-sibling dynamic is so special and it'll be fun seeing them grow side by side.
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out!
Baby is the size of a(n): soda can tab apparently
Upcoming appointments: Monday I’ll have my first regular OB visit with a nurse practitioner now that we’ve graduated from RE
How are you feeling? So nauseous all day with some vomit, really sore boobs, super tired yet some insomnia, basically like I have a bad bug, but it’s worth it! Still hoping for a better second trimester though lol
Raves/Rants: just wanting to be able to put in my share around the house again but so thankful DH and my wonderful parents have been helping out so much
Questions: none at the moment that I haven’t put on other threads lol
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? Pretty much everything! Just so excited that we will have two kiddos as I’ve always wanted at least 2 and just wasn’t sure when or if that would happen. Vacations and holidays are always highlights for sure! My DH and I like to travel (more in the states since our DS came along but maybe someday overseas again).
EDD/weeks+days: 9/20
Team Finding Out/Pink/Blue/Green: finding out
Baby is the size of a(n): strawberry
Upcoming appointments: a few weeks
How are you feeling? Good. Get tired easily and nauseous if I don’t eat often enough but nothing really to complain about. Oh and still so bloated.
Raves/Rants: We have a new build house and no landscape in backyard yet. It rained. We have 2 dogs and a mud pit. Fun muddy paws
Questions: None
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? We love taking trips and doing lots of different activities. We are not stay at home people. I have loved seeing experiences through DD eyes and can’t wait for this one as well.
@linz36 I've also noticed being short of breath, I have asthma anyways so it's just gotten worse recently. No advice but I'm here to commiserate with you. I just watched the Disney Immagineering series on Disney+ and since then I've been crazy researching going to the parks. We went to Disney World once when I was a kid ,but I haven't been to another one. Sounds like a fun trip you have planned for the fall!
@jennifer_louise my HR was high at my first appointment, the Dr just asked if I had been nervous coming in and made note of it. I guess that's a pretty normal thing sometimes.
@robyn2201 congratulations! Twins is so exciting!
@tortilliny I'm with you on the steamed vegetables. All cooked vegetables are pretty gross for me right now. The past few days I've really wanted fresh ones though which is different than last week, hopefully things improve for you soon!
@momofmiracles31889 hoping you start to feel better soon and the MS takes a hike!
@balletnerd ugh cleaning up mud inside is the worst!
EDD/weeks+days: 9+6

Baby is the size of a(n): Can fit on a watch face
Upcoming appointments: First US schedulled for 3/12... so far away
How are you feeling? Mostly just tired, I'd like to nap all the time. Doesn't help that work is totally crazy so I barely have time to remember to eat.
Raves/Rants: Not really, just work being crazy and theres supposed to be 8-12 inches of snow in the next 24 hours so that's sure to be fun...
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? We bought a cottage this time last year and spent most of the year gutting and rebuilding it. I love spending time there and just can't wait for that. We're going up next weekend because its the last weekend if ice fishing this year and then probably won't be back until some of the snow melts. Apparently there is like 3-4 feet of snow up there right now, I haven't been since December but my inlaws live there year round.

Baby is the size of a(n): cherry
Upcoming appointments: not until next month
How are you feeling? Still super tired, have to pee a lot. My uterus is already right up against my bladder from what we saw on the u/s so that makes sense lol. Also I’m hungry ALL THE TIME
Raves/Rants: Like I mentioned above, all I want to do is eat. If I don’t eat right when I wake up I don’t feel well. If I go too long during the day I don’t feel well and get hangry. It’s better than having MS for sure but I have to stay on top of it. Also I’m already an emotional/hormonal mess lol.
Questions: -
GTKY: What are you most excited to share with you new baby (tradition, vacation spot, etc)? I’m super excited for Christmas this year with DD and this new baby. It’ll be our first year in our new home so I’m excited to experience all of the decorating, cookie making, etc. together.
DS born 9/24/2020
Otherwise, I'm 9w6d and a month away from my next appointment. Team pink! Saw her again last week with my OBGYN, but sad I have to wait to 20 weeks for the next visual. With twins we saw them more often with frequent ultrasounds. Nausea is lessening, but still queasy in the evenings. Less tired, but still enjoy my naps. My patience is running thin. I'm excited to introduce her to my sons...super exciting!
