Re: Weekly check-in, w/o June 10

  • EDD / Weeks + Days: 8w2d

    FTM/STM/TTM+: FTM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Dime

    Team blue/pink/green: Sneak Peek says at least 1 twin is a boy! 💙

    Upcoming Appointments: July 1 ultrasound to make sure both twins are still healthy and growing

    How are you feeling?: Still feeling pretty normal, also processing the shock of 2 babies lol. It will be crazy, but we're truly over the moon about it. Planning to share our exciting update with our families (who already know we're expecting) this weekend on Father's Day, which will be super fun.

    Rants/Raves: Keeping the news that we're expecting private from most people is so hard! 😂 Looking forward to later this Summer when we plan to share more widely.

    Questions: Any chance any of you mamas have multiples? Figuring out what we truly need 2 of vs. not.

    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP? 3w3d - Super early but decided to test because I knew I could be pregnant and a positive result could happen with an early test, plus we had some events that weekend that would likely include drinking, so wanted to avoid that if so.

  • @kendyb77 no multiples but I just want to mention that even with just one the amount of "things" out there is overwhelming.  And everyone has an opinion on what you "need" vs what is useless.  Every baby is different so with my first I tried to buy or put on the registry a couple of options of the same item.  Somethings she took to and others she didn't care for.  We kept everything because we knew we wanted to try for another one.  Who knows what this one will like lol.

    EDD / Weeks + Days: Jan 3rd / 10w 5d

    FTM/STM/TTM+: STM

    Baby is the size of a (an): Strawberry 

    Team blue/pink/green: Green for now

    Upcoming Appointments: Friday for blood tests

    How are you feeling?: Still get nausea from time to time and it seems like it's the worse when I'm driving home from work.  I have about an hour drive so it's not fun.  Also, this is a new one for me but I've been really itchy the last couple of days.  It seems to be in sensitive (sweaty) areas.  Mostly my armpits and under my boobs.  A little on my belly but not as bad.

    Rants/Raves: My parents just booked their flight this weekend and they will be here in 2 and a half weeks.  And my brother and his family will be out here right before the 4th of July.  I'm just excited to see them all.

    Questions: Can't think of any at the moment

    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP? 3w 6d.  We wanted to start trying right after my daughter turned one.  I needed hormones the first time around so we just started them right away.  It took 2 rounds/months.  It was 2 days before my birthday so like @kendyb77 I wanted to avoid drinking if I was.
  • EDD / Weeks + Days: jan 22nd, 8w1d

    Baby is the size of a (an): raspberry

    Team blue/pink/green: sneak peak says girl! 💗

    Upcoming Appointments: Jan 25th for tests and US

    How are you feeling?: exhausted! I’m working on an accelerated degree program and it’s been so hard to focus the last few weeks. I’m also mildly nauseous throughout the entire day and nothing sits right in my stomach except for bananas.

    Rants/Raves: it’s so hard not to post about being pregnant yet and I’ve almost slipped a couple of times! Most of our immediate family and friends know because of what a shock it was to us, but I’m waiting for my next appointment before we make the actual announcement. 

    Questions: 

    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP? 

    I was about 5weeks along when I got my BFP. My period was late, which isn’t unusual, but that morning I had noticed that my nipples were really dark and sensitive and I hadn’t had my typical pms symptoms, only really light spotting one morning about 4 days before I was expected to start. I had gone out shopping for a last minute present for my son’s 10th birthday and decided to just randomly buy a cheap store brand test to put my mind at ease. Next thing I knew, I’m in the bathroom staring at two little lines!
    It was the birthday surprise that none of us saw coming!

    Baby is the size of a (an): brussel sprout

    Team blue/pink/green: green! though I wish I knew

    Upcoming Appointments: next friday for my third apt... not officially high risk but also not not? For now my my dr is wanting to keep a close eye on me.

    How are you feeling?: I am so tired all the time, I'm usually a night owl but once 10pm roles around I need to be in bed. Nausea has mostly faded but some days it sneaks up again. And my boob are sore all the time.

    Rants/Raves: I feel like I'm now remembering 9 months is loooooooooong. 


    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP? 3w 4d. I felt like I knew earlier but wanted to wait til closer to my period date to test. I had been feeling gassy and nauseous and my boobs were super tender.

    Baby is the size of a (an): strawberry

    Team blue/pink/green: blue 💙💙

    Upcoming Appointments: Monday - second OB appt

    How are you feeling?: exhausted - the fatigue has totally settled in. A couple of a days again I slept well all night and then proceeded to sleep for 6 hours during the day. Not the most productive! The nausea has started to become more intermittent, thank goodness!

    Rants/Raves: hmmmm I’m very excited to move into the second trimester, feels like I’ve been in these early stages forever. I had some major panic set in the last couple of days but have been working through it.

    Questions: none

    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP? We knew right away because we did IVF and then an FET (frozen embryo transfer) so post transfer we had a blood draw two weeks later to check HCG. I never took a pregnancy test, I don’t even own any. Sometimes I think about taking one just to see how it feels but I think that ship sailed! I don’t have any of those pics of double lines! Maybe fore the next one!

    Baby is the size of a (an):ummm…i don’t remember 

    Team blue/pink/green: will try to find out at the anatomy scan

    Upcoming Appointments: june 25 with my midwife. I really like her so im excited to go see her again and hear baby’s heartbeat!

    How are you feeling?: thankfully mostly better. Queasy in the morning but once i eat im pretty much fine. I do a lot better if i leave home. I’ve spent lots of time outside and at my in laws this week. Still super exhausted though….hoping that passes when i get to 2nd trimester.

    Rants/Raves: just so thankful im feeling better. I was sick a lot longer with both previous pregnancies so I wasn’t expecting to be this well this soon. Hope to go hiking lots this summer!

    Questions: natm

    GTKY: how far along were you when you found out you were pregnant? What prompted you to take the test that gave you your BFP?

    well, i was pretty certain i was pregnant like 3days after ovulation (crazy weird vivid dreams) and was taking tests 6days early but all of them came back negative. They continued to come back negative until 4weeks +6 days. I know exactly when I ovulated though so im guessing the tests were bad??!?
