Tuesday's = GRAD THREAD

[housecarder]

wanderingheart, I'm still kinda in shock. I worked last night and tonight so our ultrasound morning was kind of a blur followed by a long nap while H texted everyone. As soon as he inserted the wand though I saw the two sacs and he said twins before even a minute in. We knew it was a possibility but we are still shocked that even one embie stuck, let alone both. In my head I've been calling them Fred and George because I think its boys and #HarryPotter.

Hey guys! I've been reluctant to post until my first appointment, but now I have news! I am 8 weeks 2 days and we found out yesterday that we are having twins!! Babies were measuring great and we saw their little hearts flicker. I am over the moon excited but now that I'm thinking about it more, I'm terrified! I feel like the risks are just so much higher with twins and I'm just praying for two healthy babies at the end of this. It's also late and I just spent the last hour googling, so I'm sure that's where a lot of my anxiety comes from! I have another appointment in 2 weeks, and I'm sure that will help with my nerves.

Congrats to all the outside babies!

Appointment went well! And Blake was even able to take the afternoon off and be there with me!!! They officially changed my EDD to be what I've been going with and I got a really long lecture about passing out, which Blake was happy about in an I told you so kind of way. I don't have to come back until the A/S on Jan 7th. Well, except blood work at like 16 weeks or something.

So hooray for good news!!!!

So I obviously don't post here nearly enough cause I had no clue you were KU. I'm so freaking happy for you! Congrats @led! (Like 2 months late, sorry)

I approve of your name choices. 

We were in shock at first too, so I totally get it. We knew it was a possibility, but hearing it confirmed was something else...especially when you have to struggle for so long to conceive one baby, to hear it was two was probably the best thing ever. 

[housecarder]

twobananas, I understand the fear. But I know several sets of twins who were born healthy with minimal hospital stays. I'm just trying to focus on the positives, like the fact that my kids won't have to argue about who gets to hold/feed/play with the baby because there will be one for each lol.

[TheEleventhHour]

Ahh twins everywhere!

wanderingheart I love your announcement! So cute. I cannot believe you are already 12 weeks. Congrats on the house and good luck with the move!

[RajahMD]

SO MANY TWINS! I love it. Best of luck to all y'all!

[penguin129]

There's something in gnu's water with all the twins going around. Congrats to all.

@ wanderingheart that announcement is so neat!

[daisy818]

Loving all the twins! Congrats to you all and very best wishes for happy and healthy pregnancies, wanderingheart, housecarder, and twobananas!

@led, SOOOOO thrilled about your great appointment!!!

[kelle017]

I'm late again! 29 weeks today.

I get out of breath pretty easy already, and have kind of hit a point where food doesn't really excite me. Still haven't really done much to prepare for the baby at all. I did go through dd's newborn stuff and hand me down stuff to see what I have that will work for a winter baby and I need some fleece sleepers because I don't really have any.

Not much new otherwise.

[Sparkly]

OMG with all the outside bebehs!!!


cnf2013, congrats! She is beautiful! Sounds like an ordeal with her birth, but I'm glad you're both doing well!

Cute announcement teraiin!

OMG and congrats on the TWINS! housecarder

Ahhhh Riss!!!! Congratulations risscaboobs! Lexi is adorable and I'm glad BFing it going well!

Good luck tonight frankenboom! Can't wait to see MOAR squishy babies!

Congratulations expatmama11 -- he's such a cutie!!

YAY for good news @led, I'm so glad everything is going well for you!


Holy moly, I think (I'm sure) I missed some great updates, this thread is jam-packed with happy news!!!!!

[Sparkly]

wanderingheart, I LURVE your announcement!!!

[Sparkly]

Okay, here is my (brief) update. I am late because my life (mainly work) is freaking insane right now and I'm barely holding it together most days.

I'm waddling along (quite literally -- due to SPD/PGP/vag pain) at 32w5d. Everything hurts, I'm STILL puking, and as mentioned work is stressing me out SO much, BUT the end is in sight and as far as I know all is well in there with DD2, so I'm trying to just take it one day at a time.

I love all these updates and all the recent BFPs... I love you guys and miss this place. I try to lurk every day or two for happy news, and I'll try to keep checking in when I can as the holiday season gets into full swing! Loves of love to you all.


Obligatory Bump:

Good, thanks!

As of this afternoon, we have a heartbeat! Lil muggy was measuring at 5 weeks, 6 days, with a heartbeat of 117. I am so relieved.

[LadyNymeria]

Congrats mugster!

Zulily - last pregnancy. Brand might be Pink Blush? It's a little itchy with the sequins but it's fun for the holidays!

Yay for all the new babies this week!!! I'm too tired to tag everyone, but congrats to all the new squishy faces and the mommas! Also, risscaboobs, I lurve Lexi and her face so hard. I'm going to come snuggle her and maybe steal her. Okay?

housecarder YAY FOR TWINS!!!!!!! Congrats, lady! I'm glad you're going on this journey with me! Important questions... what did you name them? Because #important

Thanks for the tag Rama! Sorry I'm so late guys - this week is CRAZY. We are closing on our first house Friday, completely renovating the floors Saturday, and moving Sunday. I have so much to do between now and then, but I wanted to stop in and say hi!

So I'm 12w2d and we went FB official on Sunday! MH really can't keep secrets and he was squirming like a little kid about to pee his pants. So we announced and shocked everyone with the twin announcement - only our family and best friends knew about Hashtag and Hashbrown. And yes, we have our own cool hashtag for the babies...but Internet privacy and all (it includes our last name). PDQ.



#yesmyhusbandisagiant

Otherwise, besides packing and moving and all that jazz, nothing too much going on here. We did break out the fetal doppler last night and were able to find Hashtag's heartbeat!!!!!! Hashbrown was more stubborn, and we could only find it for a couple seconds before we lost it again. It gave me reassurance for sure. As always, lurking in your bushes even though I'm terrible at posting. 

yes to snuggles please. Oh and you can snuggle Lexi too, I guess.

[thelittleredm]

I love the cute new babies! And oh my goodness, all the multiples!!!

[Ray]

I know two days late but
wanderingheart !!!!!!!!



Saw this at Coles and thought of you lol

[wanderingheart]

Ray,I love it! I've seen a couple hashtag onesies, but they're mostly sex specific so I'm waiting to buy them!

[becwheat]

I am late! I suck at checking in!

So much good news and new babies here!

I am 25 weeks along and little girl is super active. My heartburn is crazy so I suspect this little girl will have hair like her sister did. I officially got rid of my desk chair and sit on an exercise ball at work, which is much better for my poor hips. I can't believe how fast February is creeping up!

[sunfrogger88]

Was just thinking about you dear as I haven't seen you on the BMB lately. Congrats!!!! So happy Lexi is here
