AHHH requiressnacks, congratulations!!! Welcome to the twin club!
I also suffered a loss prior to this twin pregnancy, so if you ever need to talk through some of the complex feels that go along with that, don't hesitate to reach out to me.
joy , sorry 2nd tri is kicking your ass. I didn't have a "energy burst" either. You don't have to love pregnancy, and your coworkers can stfu. You're pregnant, you're allowed to be mean.
I said nothing mean; I did no overtly mean actions. I merely came to work and did not engage in conversation with anyone. If someone asked me a direct question, then I answered, but otherwise I went about my business in silence. Apparently that made me "mean" and I could have explained myself. Or something.
Do not have time for this bullshit. I have actual bullshit to deal with. I went to a hotel (alone) for two days last week because I seriously could not handle my shit. It was not a good week.

I feel you here. I am constantly having to tell H to stuff it because he is always accusing me of being in a bad mood. No, I feel like shit so I'm not bubbly and energetic. Entertain yourself and leave me alone.

requiressnacks Still soooo excited for you!!! Twinsies chest bump!!
I am just motoring along at 11w+. Still feeling fantastic! I had a little fall on Sunday which was very upsetting, I didn't hurt myself but definitely gave myself a scare and couldn't stop crying. My OB had me in yesterday and ALL IS WELL!! We even get a wave from A (the troublemaker as the RE/OB call him who is bouncing around and crowding their sibling). I have my NT scan on Monday and am really eager/excited for that!
I have so many feelings about it being NIAW and being pregnant and knowing so many others (including a close friend) who are waiting for their turn. It coincides with the approx timeframe that we would share the news on social media (+ Mother's Day next weekend). I don't know how I feel about sharing my IF support this week and possibly announcing next week, but I just want more people to talk about it, campaign for our rights, and for even one person to take away that miracles happen and to remain hopeful and persistent. I considered sharing our success/pg news this week (a little early) in conjunction with NIAW but even though I mean very well I'm concerned it'd not be received the way I intend. Anyway, I love you all and am always stalking and rooting for your graduation!!!

Oh I get that too. The "you're in a bad mood I can tell", "you're awfully cranky today..." No. Sometimes I'm just crampy and want to be quiet and relax

Well your coworkers can stfu anyway. If that's being mean than I'm the wicked witch of the west. I hope this next week is better for you.

Hi everyone! Hanging out at 18 weeks. I feel like I kinda really popped in the last week. My mom was in shock and said, "I just saw you last week! That wasn't there last week!" Anyway, I'm feeling pretty good except for occasional back pain.
Also, I have my anatomy scan this week and baby girl has been doing gymnastics in there for the past week. Once I realized it was her and not gas, I keep sitting around expecting more movement. She's been especially active the last few days.
Here's a picture of my bump. It's not great (I only took it to text to my cousin who lives in another state) and please excuse my nails. I went and got a manicure after this pic was taken.
All three of my munchkins are still in the NICU, but they are all doing really well. All three are in cribs and keeping their temps up. D & G had their feeding tubes removed last night and also passed their hearing exams yesterday. D also passed his heart screen today as did L. L has not had her hearing exam yet and G did not have her heart screen since she was fussing up a storm when they came around this morning. There are high expectations for D to come home within a week since he has been doing well. G should follow shortly after as long as she gets her infrequent heart rate drops to stop completely. L is doing really well, but she probably won't come home until at a week or so after her brother and sister.

joy, I'm so sorry you have been having such a hard time I hope you start to feel better physically and emotionally, and that you get the IRL supports you need right now. Hang in there.
@led So excited for you! I can't wait for that little babe to be here too!

Hey all! Thanks for the tag Rama. Sorry I keep forgetting to check in!
C is now 5 months and some change - and finally seems to be chunking up a bit. She has 2 teeth (bottom middle) and is actively teething still so who knows what will cut through next. She's working on crawling - daycare got a good video of her scooting so we all think it's only a couple of days away. She has zero interest in sitting so we're trying to work on that too. She really is an insanely happy girl and it's so much fun to see all of her growth and development. She's a tiny thing (12lb8oz at her 5 month weight check), but she makes up for it with her little personality. When she smiles now you can see her cute little teeth but she's napping at the moment so I can't snap a pic. Here are a couple of cute ones from recent days:

requiressnacks, Ahhh so excited for you! kleigh, I understand your feelings around NIAW and announcing your pregnancy. I am not pregnant but I think when I am and make an announcement on FB I am going to include our struggle with IF even though it won't be NIAW week. I think not enough people realize that many of those beautiful FB announcements come after many tears. Personally I would appreciate seeing an announcement that acknowledges IF.
I can't believe it, but somehow I haven't updated here since my post from IN THE HOSPITAL when Miles was born.. He is now 6.5 weeks old! How did that happen?! Man, the weeks are really just a blur.
We are doing so good and getting a good little routine down! I'm not going to lie - those first three-ish weeks are really fucking hard. Like REALLY hard. But then, we all started figuring each other out and what our new normal is. We have some semblance of a routine now and just really love watching this little guy develop and figure out how to human. He's already got a personality showing through and it's so cool to watch him discover the world around him and what makes him smile (and even what makes him grump).
At 6.5 weeks we have: smiles! Oh they are just the best. He's gained over 4lbs from his birth weight and is already in 3mo old clothes (at his two week appointment he was 97th percentile for height, and he's just kept growing - he's LONG).
I'm hesitant to even post this, because I don't want to jinx it... but... He's already sleeping through the night! He did the first time at 3.5 weeks old and I woke up in a panic. He then started doing it again off and on last week, and has successfully STTN for the past five nights in a row! I'm not holding my breath or anything and know he will probably regress at some point, but we are enjoying it while it lasts! (He and Mr. Pugs are, anyway! Momma still has to wake up to pump every three-four hours). Speaking of bewbs... I had a nasty bout with Mastitis during week five. That shit is awful and NO joke. Do not ever skip feeding/pump sessions. I did two days in a row because I was at an event and thought I'd be fine... Two days later and BAM. Thank god for antibiotics. I've been a pumping/feeding nazi since. Just say no to engorgement!
ANYWAY. Enough words. You want pics! And I'll give you lots since I feel like he's grown up SO MUCH in the past 6 weeks!! He's such an awesome baby, you guys. We are so in love with him - he already has plenty of sass!
Newborn Photos! (Taken at 9 days old):

Having too much fun in his bouncer yesterday:
Love and miss you all so much! Loving how hopping this Grad Thread has becoming and seeing new faces on GKU, too! I may wander back over here and start posting again, if that's allowed? We won't be trying again, but I freakin miss you guys and this board.
I'm 29 weeks and things are good. Little boy is teaching my belly how to dance, and I have a bit more energy even though I'm pretty uncomfortable. This picture doesn't exactly flatter the bump, but I kind of love it anyway:
powerofbacon, she is beautiful! I'm so happy she is doing well and growing like a champ! @requiresnacks, twins! Yay for multiple rainbows :-) @pugsandwine, he is adorable!
