I'm irrationally annoyed that my Cartwheel app isn't working at the moment. I'm lounging in bed-by myself- and need to plan my Target run!
Both of DS's teachers cried when I told them our twin news. They love our boy so much and were so excited! DD announced to her friends as well, so there has been much discussion of babies.
I'm so excited that we have a twin Mummy! You're our only one! Well so far anyway! How are you feeling?
Thanks, everyone. The spotting has stopped and after yesterday's u/s, I'm actually allowing myself to think that this may finally be our take home baby.
We'll tell MIL and probably SIL this weekend. Then we'll tell my dad in Tues when we see him. We're going to tell them it's not a secret anymore, so I'm hoping they help to spread the word. I might tell my coworkers next week too. We'll post on FB next weekend at 14 weeks. Eek.
I have been thinking about strollers and I'm pretty sure I'm going to try to sell my city mini gt that I bought in 2015 with DD. I love that stroller and it's in perfect condition really. I just really need a double stroller. I'm prob gonna do with the city select so I can have a single and a double option. Anyone know of a good place or way to try to sell it. I'm not on facebook but maybe I could get my sister to list it on there for me ...
I have sold stuff to "once upon a child". if you have one nearby. They dont give what you could expect from facebook but it is quick, cash, and you dont have to deal with going back and forth with people.

Just stalking. Love the US photos and this post bethkate !!!!! Hang in there love, announcing publicly was very anxiety inducing. We told everybody at the 14-15wk range too. I was most content/at ease about the pregnancy from 22-32weeks, I did purchase a couple baby items at 19wks though.

Thanks everyone for weighing in on the wedding gift. The couple gave the groomsmen really nice, personalized gifts last night and dh basically said "do what you want" to me in terms of the gift. I think it's absurd that there's this expectation to spend sooooo much money when you are in a wedding. The rehearsal dinner was good so I am hopeful for tonight too

I've recently been going back and forth about being team green. It's hard to have a feeling that baby is a girl and have no idea if that's the case until s/he is born! But I recently talked with my nurse at my 12 week appointment and another mom who did find out with her first/team green with #2. Both commented how amazing of a surprise it was to find out, even though they had a strong feeling about what they were having.

I was TG with my first, and it was amazing. With this pregnancy...we will be TG again, but mainly because of husband. I sort of want to find out, just to know what its like to be pregnant and KNOW what to expect. Does that make sense?

Still can't find the HB on my home doppler at 9w5d. I have my appt Monday, and now my husband can't come (farming/hog conflict) so I thought if I could find it at home I would feel reassured about going solo. Dumb idea. I know it's still early. But gosh.

theiowagirl I totally get it. We found out with DS and it was nice to have an idea of what was coming. It was also nice to get whatever we needed for him (we got all gender neutral gear) but were able to get boyish clothes. I've already bought #2's coming home outfits (I know, super early but zutano was on sale on zulily!).

It's hard, I know, but you're still super early. My ob still couldn't find mine at 10w6d. I found it on the first try at home at 12w5d.

Yes! Exactly this! And zulily. I need to resubscribe. I had to unsubscribe when my daughter was a few months old. I wanted EVERYTHING. I'm already on Carter's, looking at all the sweet onesies and wanting them. The little onesies get me every time.
Thank you bethkate - my brain knows the rationality of how early I am, etc. But its nice to hear reassurance from others experiencing the same.
Believe me, I'm well aware of how your thoughts and emotions don't always correspond with what you know is rational.
Do you know if you have an anterior placenta? I just found out yesterday that I do, so that can make it harder to hear too.
I don't know! I had an US at 6w3d and saw the HB (because spotting) but they didn't tell me much else. I'm counting the days until Monday. Thinking I'll drag my SIL along so I'm not alone. Can they tell this early if my placenta is anterior?

Honestly try not to worry, I managed to find the heart beat when I was nearly 10 weeks, and then only once more a handful of days later. I tried multiple times running up to my U/S but always failed. And my jelly bean was kicking up a storm in my ute at the U/S, I was worried that we wouldn't have good news but at this stage they are still quite small.
I've been very uncomfortable with my body the last couple of weeks and have been telling H I need to go shopping. He's been putting me off a bunch and I've been letting it slide. He took my first official bump photo today and I'm so disgusted with myself and my stupid body. I told him I wanted to to a specific store to buy a size up in jeans to tide me over until I can get myself into maternity jeans. He said without actually saying, no, because said store is in the mall. Said we'd go somewhere else so I could try some different things on. Hellllll no. I currently fucking hate my body. I'm not subjecting myself to a dressing room. So I put E down for a nap, threw him the monitor, and said I was going, and just left. I've been so starved for me time lately too, so I don't even care. If he won't be empathetic to my needs then he can solo parent while I go take care of myself.

theiowagirl baby is gonna be really low still. The nurse found the HB like half an inch above my public hair line, center of my pelvis a couple days ago. I'm 12 weeks. So maybe trying really low on your pelvis?

I was trying that low, but of course, I'm not trained like my doc is. I'm going to wait until Monday so I don't continue to stress about not finding it. Then ask if she can give me tips for how to do it at home!

I'm sorry the husband isn't getting it. It sucks. Good for you getting out yourself and doing your thing.

My OB couldn't even find the hb at the office at 12 weeks!
These little babes. Y'all have made me feel better, less anxious than before. Thank you.
DD seems to have some anxiety issues going on. I don't even know what to do to help her I worry that it's because she's not in preschool and maybe that would help, but I was in preschool/daycare as a child and had and still have a lot of the same issues, although hers do seem a bit more extreme. It's hard to pinpoint what will set her off though. She's been in swim class for a few weeks and loves it and has so much fun, but this last time we went she cried the whole time and doesn't want to go back. Little things like that, where she generally enjoys the activity and then the next time she's crying and clawing at me to not put her down. I just feel so bad for her. I don't want her to worry so much. She's still my little baby.
