I'm here. 26+3. I'm 8 minutes in to my 1 hour glucose test. M is good, appointment with my midwife next Monday. My only complaint is my separated pubic bone but I'll live.

Miss you ladies. As always, FX for BFPs!

[butlerfan]

onesweetworld good luck on your glucose test!

Thanks! The drink wasn't bad but I'm hungry now. 35 more minutes until my draw.

Guys, I am 20 weeks today. WHAT. This past weekend my husband felt the baby kick for the first time so that was neat. I feel like every week I post here that it is starting to feel real but I am still in constant disbelief.

[requiressnacks]

Happy Tuesday GKU! I have two month olds. Like, wut? When did that happen. We had our two month pedi appointment yesterday and my big baby girl is 11 lbs, 9 oz and my little peanut boy is 9 lbs, 1 oz. I just can't believe they've both doubled their birth weights. Eek! And we finally started getting little baby smiles! It was very exciting for me because caring for twins was beginning to feel like all give and no take. Finally, something back!

And without further ado...Gianna (L) and Gabriel (R)



Xoxo. Moar BFPs!

[joy]

My lil baby can roll both ways now. But she cannot possibly remember how to do both at the same time.

She learned belly --> back around 2.5 months old. She learned back --> belly at 4 months old. But, apparently six weeks was too much time as she now rolls onto her belly and falls completely apart because "Zomg, can't remember how to roll back!"

I stand there saying "You learned how six weeks ago!" She just looks at me and cries. We're working on it.

This is her after her first successful back --> belly roll. Proud as all get out.

** poof! **

Hi guise!

DS is eight months old. I can't believe it... he's starting to pull himself up and stand for brief periods of time. He's lazy at sitting on his own (just like he was with his head control). But a few days ago I looked on the monitor and he was sitting up in the middle of the crib. 🤔 I watched him for a few mins, when I went in he pretty much threw himself down. 😂

I love watching him interact with H. Hey we're laughing together last night and it makes my heart melt.

[akraus2015]

Hi friends! I'm here, just chugging along and already ready for Oliver to be here. We picked out nursery paint and furniture, but other than that I'm enjoying this boring portion for a few weeks! Miss you all, and I'm always lurking in your bushes and praying for BFPs! XOXO!

[akraus2015]

joy she looks so proud of herself!

[ldubhawksfan]

DD is 14 mo in a few days! I'm still amazed at how much of a personality she has. I love watching her mind work. She still isn't talking a whole lot, but she communicates!! She also hates the word no and throws tantrums....yeah I thought we had another year.

She is currently my everything and I'm so glad to have and hold her while going through the loss. ❤

[achromia]

This seems like the perfect way to make my 1,000th post!

Hi GKU! My LO is four weeks old tomorrow. She is becoming more aware and interactive in the last several days - we feel like she can finally see us and react to faces now, which is a lot of fun. The whole household is still sleep-deprived, but we're working on getting into a routine that will hopefully give us more freedom to get out of the house or get chores done during the day. Obligatory AW of a proof from her newborn photos:

 

[akraus2015]

W, come AW your little angel!! Need moar pics!!!

[Deleted]

Nothing new. She's 7.5 months and the best thing to ever happen to me.

Good luck with the pubic bone. That shit hurts. Do you have SPD? I'm almost 8 months out and mine is STILL bothering me. You have all my sympathies.

[dashook]

joy, oh her smile is just too much!
akraus2015, you look so cuuute!
ldubhawksfan, I didn't get to say it on last week's thread but am sending you big, big hugs mama.

[Deleted]

Omg joy! That smile!!! Melts my heart.

[swivelchair5]

achromia congratulations! She is beautiful!

[dashook]

Hi ladies!

D is 7 weeks old and to me she is cuter and prettier every day. She's still not really smiling, which I get bummed about sometimes, though we've seen little glimpses here and there. We had a very rough time between 5 and 6 weeks with sleeping but (*knock wood*) she seems to be figuring it out again. She slept almost 8 hours straight last night!

Here is my sleepy sweetheart (PDQ):
*poof*

Rooting for more BFPs!!

[pismoduo]

joy, she's adorable! And that smile!
onesweetworld, GL with your glucose test!
teraiin, can't believe how big he's getting!
@led, R is adorable as ever. Love the pic of her with the string in her mouth!
akraus2015, So glad things are going well for you!

AFM - K will be 4 months on Thursday. She's a super star in terms of her social skills - laughing, smiling, she's even starting to try to blow raspberries and sometimes we can get her to wave at us (or at least, she moves her arm around in a sort of waving motion). She sits up like a champ and is very good at grabbing hold of things (as one of my friends learned the other evening after K almost tore her earring out...). She loves her little jumparoo toy. She's growing like a weed, already into 6mo sizes in pants and jammies and almost there for body suits and onesies.

She's not yet rolling over, or even showing any signs that she'll do it soon. Up until this past week, any time we put her down for tummy time she would just lay there and cry her eyes out. No amount of toys, noises, making faces, etc would get her to do jack shit while she was on her tummy. For a while she'd roll onto her side from her back, but she hasn't done much of that lately either. She does use her legs to wiggle herself around in a circle while on her back. I know she's still got time and I'm overthinking it.

This week we're meeting up with another mom who lives a few blocks away to talk about swapping childcare hours - she'll watch K for a few hours a few mornings a week so I can take care of meetings and trainings, and I'll watch her 16mo old boy for a few hours a few afternoons a week so she can study for her doula certification. I'm hoping it'll be a good solution now that MIL has moved 2.5 hours away for work. It'll do K good to have someone else take care of her for a bit more often, and we hopefully won't end up having to pay for childcare except the occasional evening babysitter.

Back in a tick to add pics!

Finally starting to get this tummy time thing figured out...


The dog was mad she was in his chair until she started eating her hand... Then he thought she might have a snack to share.


Hanging in her jumparoo


Rooting for the home team!

[BabyStandish]

Hi GKU!! I'm chugging along at 20w4d. I had my A/S last week and everything looked great. We are team green so no clue what sex baby is. Baby is becoming a lot more active lately which is always fun. Always lurking and rooting for more BFP's!

Here's a bump shot for you:

[cateyes]

Thanks for the tag butlerfan!

I am here at 18w2d and just waiting for the AS scan on the 26th. All is good so far with little Bug and we enjoy using the doppler once or twice a week to hear the heartbeat in between appointments. Last night sounded louder than normal so Bug must have been in a good position. I can't believe we are almost halfway there!!! We have started cleaning out the room that will be the nursery but won't do anything major until we find out the sex.

I am still lurking (and outing myself with LTs) and rooting for more BFPs/matches/foster placements!!!!

[juliayadda]

Hey y'all I am at 13 plus 5 weeks and I stopped taking diclectin today yaaay sorta... I just barely made it home after a hard bus ride. But I think I can call it 2nd tri now.

I met my OB who is super nice and heard baby's heartbeat. I came out at work as preggly and did the Facebook official announcement. Next steps are second OB appointment and then the anatomy scan in 6-7 weeks .

My bump is still mostly hiding from pictures but maybe in two weeks it will pop out.

[joy]

pippacricket - I'm so anti those headbands on girls, but your adorable girl makes me want to break one out and put it on mine to reevaluate. N is sooo cute.

Yes I have SPD it's awful. I'm so nervous about how long it's going to bother me. I'm afraid it's going to put me on bedrest as I get bigger.

Morning! I completely forgot about this yesterday.

I have an outside baby! W.illiam G.ordon was born at 7:06am on the 7th after an hour and a half labor that very very much could have ended in a car baby. He was 7lbs 14oz and 20.5" long.

Here is a link to my birth story if anyone is interested: www.goodbyecb.proboards.com/thread/132241/

And baby pics behind the spoiler:
