HI Friends! I don't have a ton of updates this week, but I do have some pics to share. I am 21 weeks and the twins are doing great. We had a repeat anatomy scan on Friday because they weren't able to get all the pictures the first time. It was so fun seeing them both rolling around in my tummy! And, I was excited that they confirmed we are still having B/G twins. Baby boy is definitely a lot more active and likes to beat up on his sister.

Here's a couple pics:

Boy(A)


Girl (B)


And the bump at 21 weeks:


I'm always lurking in your bushes and hoping for more BFPs! Xoxo

Hi guise. My DS is super smiley and happy. We took a fairly long trip last week to see his great grandma. He did pretty well!

PDQ pics







I can't believe he's almost 3 months old already!

Hi all!!!

I'm 26 weeks. We go for a 3D u/s Friday afternoon and I'm excited to see baby girls facial features and little fingers in 3D. We got our room/baby's room painted the end of last week and put up the crib and dresser/changing table. I'm working on making DD2 a long receiving blanket and baby blanket with minky back. We had my Sprinkle with family on Sunday. There were about 7 of us there. My bil and his family came a half hour early and ended up leaving before the party actually started. We played a game where you "chug" apple juice from a baby bottle. Only a few of us actually did it. Man that is hard, I have no idea how babies do it. Here's a pic of DD and I from the party. It is actually the only pic of me from the party because H decided to video everything else. It may be a good thing that there's not a picture of me sucking on a baby bottle to put on the interwebs. Lurking and loving hoping for BFP's! I'm also following the superlatives **PDQ the picture**

penguin129 that picture! Omg my heart is melting!

Roar will be four weeks on Thursday (how???). He outgrew newborn clothes this week, but he is swimming in his 0-3 month outfits. Stay tiny little man!



We went and visited H's grandparents over the weekend so that R could meet his great grandparents. The trip went well, but traveling with a baby is hard. Between construction and nursing breaks, a 3.5 hour drive quickly became 5.5, but Roar mostly kept his cool. H went back to work this week, but he works from home, so it isn't too bad.

I actually have pictures this week!

Currently at 31w 4d. Single digit weeks!!! This is insane! My shower is this weekend and I can't wait! I don't know much about it, so I'm super excited.

Everything else is going well. I've graduated to biweekly appointments and everything looks to be great with her. The only thing I'm struggling with is the swelling in my feet and fingers. It's almost like an arthritic feeling in my toes and fingers when I move them because of all the swelling. There's no underlying medical reasons. Just pregnancy symptoms. Other than that, I'm feeling great.

Here's some pictures I took last week. The second one is me at the Guns n Roses concert.

Still stalking you people and pissed that my automatic win category (Shuffleboard Queen) was not included in the superlatives.

The girls are 6 weeks old tomorrow and slept 6 1/2 hours last night (wut!?) and we are all doing pretty good. My Moby is a life saver, although Evie likes to wiggle over to snuggle Finn.
More pics for fun.

housecarder WOW! They are precious. I had no idea you could wear two babies in one carrier like that. So cool

Hi GKU! I'm 9 weeks 6 days today. I'm waiting impatiently for my 12 week scan on August 12. If that goes well, I'm excited to tell more people, including my brother and in laws!

YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS I HAVE AN OUTSIDE BABY!!!

My due date was last Wednesday with no labor signs in sight. I was scheduled to be induced on 7/29 if I hadn't gone into labor on my own. Thursday I went to my weekly doctor appointment & they did an ultrasound. The doctor came into the room & told me my amniotic fluid was low & I needed to head to the hospital to be induced. I almost fell off the table, I was expecting to be pregnant for like another week.

The induction went very well, from the start of Pitocin to delivery was about 9.5 hours. We welcomed Ethan James to the world on 7/22 1:33am, 8lbs3oz & 19.5" long. He is perfection and I am so so so in love with him. 😍😍😍

We're home now, working on this whole breastfeeding thing & falling into a routine. DD is bouncing off the walls excited at all times & it's a little overwhelming. E also cluster feeds all night so I'm fucking exhausted!

Now the part you guys are really here for (PDQ):

**poof**

DD meeting E for the first time, cue heart explosions.
**poof**

**poof**

Trying out the Boba wrap for the first time last night..big success!
**poof**

So many of you have been with me through all this, from losses through pregnancy & now with this kiddo finally here. I get the hardcore feelz when I think about everyone here. I love you guys, always crossing all the things for BFPs & healthy babies. ❤️❤️❤️

It's the only way I get things done.

They love it and usually hold hands in there.

[penguin129]

housecarder I've never seen someone baby wear twins (granted I don't know a lot of twin mamas) - you're a rockstar!

Hi all! 32w5d here. Baby K is measuring right on track but still hanging out in either a breach or transverse position, which has my OB mildly annoyed.

Still dealing with HD, though I'm getting much better at managing that with diet and exercise. I'm actually down about 10lbs from my pre-pregnancy weight, so that's actually pretty nice. I've had a few people ask me if I've lost weight, even with this rapidly growing belly.

I stalked the tandem Facebook group while pregnant. It really has made the juggling babies easier. I had to figure it out or be stuck holding babies all the time. I plan on upgrading to ring slings eventually.
For all the other twin moms out there my three biggest life savers have been my wrap, the Rock n Plays, and the bottle prop bibs so I can feed them both at the same time.
