-15 weeks 5 days

- feeling better since I moved to a new place, at my pervious apartment my neighbors cooking would give me horrid MS. Emotionally in doing ok I have my moments where I start to wonder if we can really afford for me to be a SAHM.

-still waiting for my February 2nd appt. hope my OB can tell us the sex!

- rants: I absolutely hate moving!!! I hope to turn in my keys today for the old apartment and use the weekend to unpack. Raves: really loving our new place! I will love it more once I'm not living out of boxes.

QOTW: DH and I met online. I contacted him. Things professed pretty quickly for us. We were engaged after 9 months of dating then married a year after that. Then a little over a year of marriage we got our BFP! and we couldn't be happier!

-14w1d

-I feel great. I got back to the gym this week and got 3 spinning classes in, which felt good after being away all last week. My HR skyrockets pretty quickly though so I have to pay close attention to my HR monitor, but on the plus side I burn more calories! I've been trying to eat more but healthier too to balance it out.

-Nothing until my 16w appt on Feb 5th, so almost 2 weeks still

-Rants: I'm going to stop answering MIL's calls if she doesn't stop saying "it's killing me not to know what you're having, when do you find out?" She pulled this shit with DS too, and likes to act like grandma of the year, but in DS' 20 months she has probably spent not even 24 hours with him. I refuse to give her dates of my appts, and just give her generic answers, like early February.
Raves: one of my good friends here just told me that she's dedicating her Monday nights to me once the babies come. She will come every Monday after work and help with anything I need; the twins, DS, laundry, cooking, etc. I'm so excited to have at least one dedicated night of help. I know I will have my parents down here as much as fhey can, and other family plans to come down, but they are all 12 hours away so obviously they can't just come whenever they want.

-H and I met at a NFL game. We are from the same hometown and had a lot of mutual friends, but never met before that,

How far along are you? 16+4

How are you feeling physically/ emotionally? I feel pretty good, besides the never-ending cold I have. I'm really happy because my body seems to be able to tolerate liquids again to I can easily stay hydrated, which is great. I'm super stressed with school and research, but after this month is over things should slow down for me a bit so I can take it easy.

Any updates or up coming appointments? I have a regular appointment today, hoping they'll be able to find both babies' heartbeats with the doppler. It's with a different doctor from the practice though so I'm nervous-- she's only the second doctor on their ten person team I'll have met so far. On Wednesday we had a growth scan and found out we're having a boy and a girl!! They are still measuring 5 days apart but the doctor said because they're fraternal and the girl is the smaller one, it's not a concern.

Any rants/ raves? Not really, just mad at myself for procrastinating.

QOTW: Where did you meet your SO/DH? Online!

steen9713 Congrats on the new place! Now you can get settled before the babies get here .

beachy What an awesome friend. All my friends are afraid of babies so I'm worried they won't even come visit-- just kidding, but it will be an interesting experience for them.

@feegan Yay for seeing the babies! Isn't it crazy how fast they have grown? I also get teary eyed lately thinking about bringing them home. I wish I could just jump ahead to the summer. I'm ready!

@sassycassieb congrats on team purple! I'm really hoping that's what we are too. Although I am setting myself up to be prepared for 2 boys.

FX for you! We would have been happy to matter what, I know we're lucky to have two healthy babies. But secretly I was worried it would be two boys, but right away she knew Baby A was a girl. I totally cried in the car on my way home, I feel so lucky.

And you may be surprised! You have better odds of a girl this time, since there's two in there .

Haha very true. I feel like H's family is incapable of making girls though. He's the oldest of 3 boys and his brother has 2 sons.

I will be happy no matter what as well. Although my mom will die a little if I have 3 kids and not one girl.

Not that it means anything, but DH's dad had three boys and his brother has two boys, so we were pretty sure we were going to have boys. But lo and behold, we got both! DH's mom is like insanely happy because she always wanted a daughter.
