Ah! Makes sense. I don't like to be fussed over. It's why I made DH be at both of our showers. I wanted some attention taken off of me and he's pretty goofy so it worked out.
But I think surprise popping out twins would be hilarious. Like hey we had a baby..actually we had two!
This is where my inner troll is definitely being fed. "Hey, we had a baby! And another baby! At the same time!"
easilyunamused, I was 23 weeks along in both pregnancies the first time DH could feel baby move. But I carry a fair amount of belly fat so I think that stuff comes later for me than most.
Thanks! I'll be 20 weeks on Friday, so hopefully it won't be much longer.
This baby has been moving non stop this morning. It's super cool, especially since I didn't feel him move much yesterday.
MH is anxious to be able to feel him move, how far long do you have to be for that to happen?
You are just about exactly as far along as I was the first time MH felt a kick. I took a bit for him to feel another one after the first time. Always seemed like baby stopped moving when I told MH to come feel him moving.
easilyunamused, I am anxious for H to be able to feel movement, too! I'm 21 weeks with an anterior placenta, so the movement I do feel is still really faint. My midwife said it could be closer to 30 weeks before H feels anything.

I'll have to start seeing if I can feel exterior movements then. He'll be so excited if it happens soon. 😊
ourcrazynavylife our house was essentially #3 when I bought it and we changed to almost #1 when we repainted. I like the slightly darker blue. We actually did black shutters and door, but the house is a cape (with a big white fence on both sides) so we liked it darker shade as contrast. I've seen people with light gray or white trim that looks really nice too.

Rama that's awesome that you're keeping it a secret! I thought not finding out sex would drive people crazy...I never even thought of not sharing it was twins, ha! I could never do it, we blabbed too much right away, but it's a super fun idea!

I think the only thing we'll hold off on is his name. When people ask, we just stay we are still deciding. But it's been picked out since we knew it was a boy.

I had a hard time keeping DD's name a secret last time. This time I have no problem telling people we're not sharing the name ideas we have until baby has been named. We also don't decide for sure until we meet the baby, but we have it narrowed down to 2 names for each sex. I just don't want anyone else's opinions to cloud mine.

With DD, we didn't pick a name until after she was born (and the meds from the c-section wore off because DH didn't want to believe me until I wasn't high anymore LOL). No one believed us that we hadn't finalized a name - they thought we were trying to keep it a secret. It actually started to become quite annoying.
I just tell people IRL he's named, but we're keeping it a secret. They usually back off when I tell them we changed DS1's name 4 days before he was born

We didn't share DS's name until he was born too. When people asked before birth we told them we had one picked out but we weren't sharing. Overall people were good about it and didn't bug us.

I'm 25 weeks. H felt some strong movement last week, but said he wasn't sure he felt it. Last night he 100% felt it and I believe it was hiccups (very regular pattern). Also fluffy around the middle. No anterior placenta. It will happen soon!
For trim, white would be classic and crisp. Or light gray (one with blue tones). If you want to add more color, you could do a lighter blue. Or even more color, a tangerine/softer orange/coral or something in the orange/yellow family would look pretty neat.
We didn't find out the sex and also are not sharing our name choices. I've seen some people be exceptionally rude about commenting on names before baby is here. DNW anyone's opinions. The only thing we've shared (with my immediate family and grandparents) is the middle name will be the same as mine, which is also my mom's and my grandfather's. They all liked that.
Yeah by not finding out sex we avoid a lot of the name questions. We just say we are going to need at least four and some of it will depend on what sexes they are in terms of combo with middle, etc. Most people move on at that point (so far

When we told our family Oliver's name, MH's uncle said "What the hell kind of name is Oliver?"

I don't need anyone's input on our name either. I'd much rather them talk behind my back like normal people once the baby is born. 😂 Our name is a real name, regular spelling. But it's not super popular. It has meaning to us and that's all that matters.

Exactly the same over here. We couldn't pick a name for a DD until like 2nd day in the hospital when the nurses were like "soooooo, you need to fill out that form so we can discharge you". Everyone thought we knew and were just holding out on announcing it.

We aren't sharing the twins names until they're born. People are less likely to be rude when they're looking at an actual child with the name. I think the only comment we'll get then is that one is similar to one of our nephews names.

E has not been nearly as active the last week or so. I don't know if she's just running out of room or what. She doesn't even get hiccups as often. I hate the hiccups but at least they happened so often that I always knew she was doing ok in there. I just played "guess the body part" for a solid 30 minutes before I was able to feel her shift underneath my fingers. Don't start worrying mommy now, kiddo.
