Clomid. And they say there's a "small chance". Psssshhhhhhh !

Well, I *did* just ingest a bunch of that...

I just have to quick show off that my little man has started smiling!! Here is his first one from Thursday morning st 5.5 weeks (unfortunately it's blurry because I didn't have time to focus) -



And I got a little sweet smile yesterday!


And just a little bonus pic of tummy time!

Congratulations on the twins peaseblossom55!! Don't worry too much about how you'll be able to carry them. It's amazing what the body can do.

AFM, I'm 34w5d with my twins and on week 5 of strict bed rest after a couple of PTL hospitalizations at 29 and 31 weeks. Thankfully the procardia has been keeping the contractions at bay, and babies are still cooking! I'm hoping to make it to 36 weeks, but I'm definitely hitting the omg I'm so uncomfortable and ready to not be pregnant stage. I can't wait to meet these two little humans!

GKU, y'all got me seeing double. What are you all drinking?!

Whatever it is... I'll pass on having a sip!

Shoot give me yours then! I'll gladly take it!

[jags8]

joy what flavor did you do? I find that everyone who wanted to vomit had orange. I did lemon lime and thought it tasted exactly like flat Sprite. However, I failed and had to do the 3-hour, and that drink has even MORE glucose, so that was not nearly as tolerable.

I managed to go to the only LabCorp with no flavored sugar drink.  It was literally a bottle of clear sugar water.  Perhaps that's why it didn't bother me?  It wasn't trying to be something that it wasn't?

Who knows!

I'm gonna start tagging older grads, if I have to.

[pibblemom]

peaseblossom55, congrats on the twins!! How nervewracking AND exciting!!


I am like 4 minutes pregnant (3w5d), so I don't have an update, other than I keep peeing on things to make sure the lines get darker. Went for betas yesterday and going again tomorrow, waiting on the call back from the MW, but all of my spotting has stopped so I have ALL the good feels about this time! FX they're right

[Rama]

@amc25 I see you lurking, girl. Update!

[ldubhawksfan]

Thanks for the tag Rama!! I feel honored!

DD is 6.5 months old. Her dr appt is tomorrow, so I'll see how she is measuring then, but she is a big healthy girl! She has mastered sitting on her own, so she spends most of her time on the ground trying to crunch to sit up rather than caring about rolling anymore. Ha maybe it will bide me some time before she figures out crawling! I haven't baby proofed so I would welcome that!! I just got her 6 mo pics so I'm swooning over those. We will be starting swim lessons with her in a few weeks, so I'm excited about pool time this summer. Those are all the random baby girl things I can think of right now!

[monicageller]

Congrats NariaDreaming !!! I'm so excited for you!!!

[sunfrogger88]

I didn't play a lot on GKU but babies.

Here's Emma. She is 6mo on Thursday (our 2015 Thanksgiving baby!). What a turkey. We are guessing she is around 21# and 29" long. Our official check up is next Wed.

[kleigh]

Oh my goodness powerofbacon !!!!!!! Sooo so soo adorable and getting nice and big for mama and daddy!

[♪♫choppinbroccoli♫♪]

powerofbacon, what an awesome update!!!! Love her!

[requiressnacks]

powerofbacon, what an amazing update! I love the action shot. She looks so strong!

[Deleted]

So Ridley is 6 days old! She's doing pretty well. She's a great baby. Sleepy and pretty easy to appease most of the time. Her bilirubin levels were on the higher side so we've been having to do blood work and she has a bili blanket that we keep on her which makes doing much of anything a chore because she now has a tether. But she's our little glow worm and it seems to be working since her eyes aren't quite as yellow. She has more blood work this afternoon, so hopefully that goes well and she doesn't have to be readmitted.

Breastfeeding is going surprisingly well, though we have to supplement every 3 hours because she lost so much weight, so the bottle/breast war is kind of on. Though since my milk is coming in like crazy and it's practically choking her because there's so much of it breast actually has a fighting chance the last day or so. Hopefully that keeps up.

And now, my little glow worm.

[mcktymck]

powerofbacon your updates always make me so happy!

[LadyNymeria]

Congrats on the twins peaseblossom55!!

Good luck tomorrow requiressnacks!!

I'm so glad to hear V is doing so well powerofbacon!!!


AFM, 25 weeks tomorrow and found out this morning I passed my glucose test!! MH and I tend to frequent the local ice cream shop A LOT during the summer so I'm happy to know there is no ice cream restriction in my future!!! Between that and clearly feeling the outline of a little hand or foot the other night during a punch or kick it's been a good start to the week!

Who knows!

I had my 1 hr glucose test yesterday and didn't think the drink was bad at all. Made my throat feel dry towards the end but otherwise it was NBD to me either.

jags8 - Mine was the orange one. Tasted just like extra sugary flat orange soda. The lab at my dr office keeps it refrigerated though so I don't know if that helped.

[onesweetworld]

She is so perfect powerofbacon

[pismoduo]

Mobile so I suck at tagging but dear god there's so much excitement in this thread!

AFM, sitting pretty at 23w5d. Thursday is viability day! It feels like everything since week 12 has gone by in a huge blur.

Getting some serious kicks from this girl. A few nights ago I was finally able to feel one on the outside, which was absolutely mind blowing. She seems to also have gotten off my cervix, since more of the kicks seem to be higher up now than they were before.

[penguin129]

powerofbacon I love seeing your updates.

I'm 17 weeks and have no appointments until the anatomy scan in the middle of June. I am really hoping they confirm team pink since we told everyone after our early U/S. I'd hate for them to be like, ummm, it's a boy. I just hosted my first Thirty One party and got enough money in hostess credits to get the tote I wanted to use as a diaper bag for DD2 and a bag for DD1 at no cost to me, so that's great!

My Pretty Tote

Backpack for DD

Edit: To fix gigantor picture of my tote bag. Sorry ladies.

[singingsea]

powerofbacon it makes me so happy to watch your LO kick ass!

[kawaiikitsune]

powerofbacon V is getting so big!
@led Blake & MH = twinsies. How is Ridley 6 days old already?!

[mugster]

Hi! Thanks for the tag Rama . I'm here, feeling like a zombie. We traveled out of town for our first shower this weekend, and it was lovely. My friend who threw it is the hostess with the mostess, so it was a classy affair. I've mostly found places to put everything (other than my kitchen table), and I've started thank you notes, but really I just want to curl into a ball and never move again. The good news is, school's out for summer! So that is kind of a real possibility.

I'm 33 weeks and time it is a speeding up. I can't wait to meet our little guy:

[mugster]

powerofbacon, V is getting so big!
@led, your little glow worm is so cute!
starbuck27, what excellent names for your twins, you should totally use them.
longhornwino0907, those pictures are delightful, and your happiness is contagious (even with the faces blocked out).
peaseblossom55, I didn't really say it in the other thread, but congrats on the twins! I imagine you are very overwhelmed right now, but I hope that your pregnancy is smooth sailing even with the extra bebe cooking in there.

[ldubhawksfan]

powerofbacon she is so beautiful! Your update made me cry. I'm so glad she is doing better. Little fighter!

[ldubhawksfan]

@nolagal
15 months already?!

[rooskie]

powerofbacon - the last picture is so precious!!

peaseblossom55 - congrats on twins!!

I feel like every update I give is the pretty much the same.

This is why I rarely chime in on these threads, just lovetit.  Plus it's so much more exciting to see the pregnant bumps and itty bitty squishes.  The updates from powerofbacon,@led,and NariaDreaming give me all the feels. 

But I also adore Rama, so if she tags me, I'm in. 

Baby Horrible is getting dangerously close to 1 year, and is considering changing his middle name to Trouble, Danger, or Evil Knievel. 


He is into everything.  Climbing on tables, chairs, and even slides. 


He adores his brother, playing outside, and pointing incessantly at all things and saying "gah" (which we think means "that?" or "what's that?" or "look at that")
