ugaqueencity, thanks for tagging me in! I actually do have an update this week!
I found out on Friday that we are expecting twins! I was basically having a breakdown in the waiting room of my REs office because I had some spotting earlier in the day. By the time I see the doctor for the ultrasound I was crying and sniveling because I was convinced it was going to be bad news. The minute she started the ultrasound she told me there was good news. A beautiful baby with a 160 Hb. I immediately rejoice and start sqeeeing with MH. Then she tells me she has more happy news! Another baby! With a beautiful Hb of 153. I about passed out.
I'm excited and terrified, but more than anything I am so happy that they are looking healthy. My loss traumatized me and it's a daily struggle to remain positive. But seeing those beautiful heartbeats may have been one of the best moments of my life.

Hey GKU!
I will be 21 weeks tomorrow and Nymeria-pup is absolutely no doubt 100% BOY!!! We had our anatomy scan yesterday morning - everything looked good, heartbeat was strong, and baby was measuring right on track!! Dr officially gave us the professional opinion that between the NT scan, anatomy scan, and all related bloodwork baby appears to be a healthy little guy!! We even got to see baby on 4D u/s which was really neat to see his face!!
Still tired and waiting for that supposed 2nd tri energy, but that's about it so I'm not complaining since I otherwise feel great!! Now it's time to actually get in gear and start getting ready for baby since we haven't done anything yet! And it will be fun to actually start talking names now.
requiressnacks Oh YAY!!!! So many congrats on your twins
I'm 13+1 2 days away from being in the 2nd tri I don't have an appointment until May 13th. I seem to be getting my energy back and even spent an hour today organizing my bedroom and closet. We are hoping to get our first set of completely matching bedroom furniture. I'm really excited about it.
I have a bunch of OPK's and about 8 pregnancy tests if anyone wants them. I'll send them for free. They are Clinical Guard brand from Amazon.

Ahhhhhhh OMG requiressnacks!!!!!! Two chances to name your baby after me. I think I've convinced longhornwino0907 and kaliRN to name their babies after me.

Hi!
I'm 9 weeks today and had my first appointment last Thursday. Everything looked great and there's one little bean in there measuring right on track!
We told our parents this weekend, too. MH bought DS a shirt that says "Promoted to Big Brother" and our plan was to see how long it would take everyone to notice. We went to the ILs first, and after about 15 minutes MH prompted my MIL to take notice of DS's shirt. Once she realized what it said she freaked out (a happy freak out).
Then we headed to my parents' house. My mom took notice of the shirt almost instantly, but she knew something was up since we live 45 minutes from them and never just drop by. My parents are equally excited!
I'm still nauseous all day everyday. I've been on the verge of throwing up for like 3 days now, which is more annoying than anything. But other than that I feel great!
Afm: I am trucking along at 28 weeks and officially in 3rd trimester
Other than some hip pain, heart burn, and leg cramps that wake me up I've been feeling pretty good! I'm in the works of talking with the board about maybe cutting down to half days or 3 days/week in the next couple weeks but we'll see how that goes.
Flint has been VERY active lately. Like freaks me out active sometimes, he is definitely a spitfire.
Bump shot!! Love and miss you!! Lurking and FX for more bfps
ETA: now noticing how completely unflattering that shirt is re: my ass. It looks like my but is rivalling my bump lol
I was stalking you last night requiressnacks and I'm SO happy for you!!! Is your kitchen done?
Thank you!!
My kitchen is 99% done. Because contractors are awesome and very diligent with their measuring, our fridge actually doesn't fit in the space that was measured for it. So because of this, I can only open the right door about 50% of the way, before it hit the wall. So my contractor, bless his heart, is going to make it right and will be taking down part of the wall between the kitchen and dining room. But overall, I love it and I'm so happy we did it.
Can you please explain this weird Mr. Doll? Where is the face?!
Hahah, my mom made Mr Doll modeled after a Mr Doll that MH's grandmother made for him. The original is faceless after 3+ decades of love, so I guess that's why the new ended up with no face too. I think it's cute.
Well....that is just adorable! I wasn't sure if it was a new thing that I hadn't heard of yet. Sorry for calling him weird.

Congrats on the twins requiressnacks! There is a multiple pregnancy check in on the multiples board if you want to join us Congrats on the boy LadyNymeria! Ray dat ass! Looks great if you ask me. I noticed mine in the mirror last night and was like "hmm, not bad" lol.
I will be 30 weeks tomorrow. I have a check up tomorrow and then will start weekly NSTs. Nursery is 80% done, the only thing left is hanging our decals and artwork and making the mobile. I love the decals, ours will be lavender.
The only bump pic I have currently is of the new kitten getting irritated that her favorite cuddle spot keeps moving.
Hoping these last few weeks fly by. Always lurking and jumping in around here.
requiressnacks, congrats!! Hopefully the spotting is nothing. I had some on and off spotting during first tri as well, particularly during the first few weeks.
AFM, trucking along at 19w5d. We had our anatomy scan yesterday and found out we're having a GIRL! I'm so excited. Her name will be Katherine Julia, and H is already calling her his Katie Bear. Unfortunately, our ultrasound tech was kinda crabby and in a rush (probably because our appointment was at the end of the day) so we didn't really get any good pictures of her. But she seems overall healthy, and I'm stoked to be just about halfway to meeting her.
