Hi GKU!
My baby is a year old. I'm the tiniest bit sad I don't have a itty bitty anymore, but love watching C turn into a kid. She's got 8 teeth and I think will have her molars pretty soon too. I think we have a while until she'll be walking, but that's fine by me, early walking is for the birds.
She loves blowing kisses, bugging her big brother, and reading Brown Bear.

Poof!

Ellie Grace was 5 months Saturday! She is sitting up with minimal support, still loves talking, and is a complete ham for the camera.

Hey all! 14+5 over here and feeling exhausted but pretty good otherwise! The last week or so, we've consistently been able to find both girls with the doppler and have even heard them practicing their gymnastic skills in there. Can't wait till I can feel them wiggling around in there!

Here's last week's pic:


We had just gotten back from eating Mexican food, so they had definitely come out to say hi. Too bad I still just mostly look fat right now!

Always lurking, rooting, love-titting, and debating GoT theories!

[longhornwino0907]

starbuck27, congrats!!!!!

[joy]

I'm 24 weeks - so, yay for passing that viability mark!

The child likes to kick. My husband got to feel it this weekend so that was cool. He's very excited.

I'm showing, but nothing spectacular. I'm quietly grateful for this because I'm just an emotional mess these days. I think I'd fall apart if people were commenting left and right. I'll put up a pic, but please don't quote. I'll probably delete it in a bit.

poof!!

EDIT: Nope - we heathens don't make our bed.

Congrats on twins starbuck27!

starbuck27- congrats!!!

Hi friends!! No big news for me this week. I am 9w1d with twins and doing alright. I'm just happy to still be pregnant. I graduated from the RE last week and both babies had grown and had great heartbeats! My first appointment with the OB is tomorrow and I'm really excited to meet them (it's a new practice for me) and see how this all goes with twins.

Here's my pic from last week, around 8w4d. Babies are about 2cm, heartbeats at 180.

starbuck27, congrats on the twins!!

29w 1d. Started seeing a chiro on Friday for the crazy back pain. We're going to do 3 sessions a week for 4 weeks and then reevaluate. Hope it helps with the pain and getting my pelvis tilted the right way! Still throwing up pretty much every day. Baby is consistently measuring 2 weeks ahead via ultrasound, and fundal height is measuring 4 weeks head, so my OB is thinking my due date should be closer to a week earlier or so. We'll see what baby has to say about that.



Always lurking for more BFPs!

[mrsjene]

Hi there! Hanging out at 19w 4d. We just had our anatomy scan on Friday and OB said we couldn't have asked for a more perfect scan. The tech was cracking up over how active she was. She's gonna be a ham just like her mom and dad.

Overall, I've got my little bump and I feel great. Emotionally, I am just so grateful to be where am I right now. (And now I'm crying like a sap.)

Anyway, here is baby girl trying to suck her thumb:

Holy crap, starbuck27, congrats!

joy, ravishing, as always.


Keep them coming, TCF! Allllll tha babiezzzzzz

I'm 30 weeks and doing well. I travelled this weekend and last weekend, and am exhausted. Baby boy likes to hang out in my right rib and makes every position uncomfortable after twenty minutes.

Here I am making weird faces at my husband:

starbuck27, Hooray!!! Congratulations on double the fun!!!!

Hey all! DS was 3 weeks on Sunday. Time is already flying! Wasn't I just at the hospital meeting him?! He is the love of my life. I look at him and think I created the cutest baby in the world (obviously mommy bias)!

Breastfeeding has improved, as he has become better at latching. Sleeping is okay; sometimes nights are rough (like last night) and some a great. I love snuggling him. He curls perfectly into my chest! Oh man, and when we stare into each other's eyes! It's magic!

I'm happy with my post partum recovery. Bleeding has stopped, my 2nd degree tear is a little uncomfortable but not bad, and I've lost 27 of the 30 lbs I gained during pregnancy. Can't wait for my tummy to not feel like a water bed!

PDQ the pics
*poof*

Much love to you all!

I'm 9+3 today. Feeling pretty nauseous all day everyday and tired, but otherwise okay. I had some bleeding yesterday so I'm on bed rest until I'm 48hrs without bleeding, so far I haven't had any more, so hoping this just goes by quickly. Baby looked super on my u/s yesterday though and we could see it moving around!

[jags8]

Congrats on the twins starbuck27!

[PirateCat]

starbuck27, TWINS, how exciting!!

[goldenlove3]

Hello GKU! I'm 12w6d today and things are moving along. I finally started telling my close cousins and they're all really excited. One of them even started talking about planning my shower. I've been able to find the heartbeat on my home doppler a couple times now. The first couple times was without H but I finally did it while he was home and his eyes just lit up! It was adorable.

We're planning to announce the sex to our families on Sunday. EVERYONE is saying it's a girl so they'll all be shocked when we tell them it's a boy (MIL especially who says she's never wrong).

No new ultrasounds to share and my bump still just looks like bloat but hopefully soon I'll have something for you guys!

[housecarder]

starbuck27 that's great!! Welcome to the twin club!

Hey GKU! I'm 31 weeks tomorrow which means that at the most I have 6 weeks until these girls are here.
Here's my massive bump.

And I made some progress on the nursery. I love it.


Still need to find a nanny or daycare. Aaaahhhh!

Your t-shirt /ded!!!!!!

...the nursery looks fabulous!

[housecarder]

PepperPottsJ it helps me feel a bit better about being so big and uncomfortable. H laughed so hard when it arrived.

[caz1221]

Congrats, starbuck27! So many twins on this thread!

housecarder, your nursery is gorgeous!

AFM, I will be officially half-baked tomorrow! Still dealing with mild nausea, mostly in the mornings, but otherwise I'm feeling pretty good. Not much to do since we can't set up the nursery for another couple months (it's currently our guest room, and MIL/FIL may be coming to visit in June). Funny how much more relaxed I feel about stuff like that this time around!

[pismoduo]

starbuck27, yay twins!
housecarder, I need that shirt!

AFM, hanging out at 20w5d, firmly past the halfway mark. Not much is new. I still don't have much of a bump, but baby Katie is bouncing around all over the place in there. Her favorite spot to jump up and down is right around my cervix, so that's been fun. She gets grumpy when I wear regular pants (a sign of how bump-less I am) and don't unbutton them when I sit down.

[wildflower810]

starbuck27, holy moly! Congratulations!

They have some hilarious ones that feel like they could have been made by a GKU lady.

Hey guys! I still have an inside baby. Currently 39w4d.

I was pretty sure something was going to happen this weekend because of how I was feeling, but no such luck. I have another appointment tomorrow. I'm annoyed because I'm so bummed. I KNEW this was going to happen once all the doctor's and midwives kept saying, "you'll never make it to May." DON'T TEASE ME. They still don't think I'll make it to my duedate, but I'm not counting on THAT either.

Plus side is, little boy gets more time inside which is probably for the best.



Please be thinking outside baby thoughts for me, I'd much rather go to far past my due date (or be induced).

I'm loving all the twins and great news and pictures.

[thelittleredm]

Yay for twins starbuck27!!

Well now I need all of these for DS...

teraiin, you're so close to the finish line! Thinking all the positive thoughts for you that next week you can check in with an outside baby!!!
