Michelle I'm glad everything went well.

Cute scan pic Michelle! Can't believe how far on everyone is, time is going so quickly! I'm finally an orange yay!!

Hold - sry about your headaches and hope they go away soon. I had them for awhile too and they were horrible.

Michelle - awesome pics girl. Both your ultrasound and your bump look great.

Whisper - hope your back pain improves and good luck with your appointment on Monday. Eat a small candy bar before you go because it will help the baby move more and give the nurse a better chance at finding out the gender.

Sandoval & Happy - Happy 15wks girls!

Hope everyone else is doing ok.

As for me - got the call earlier today and the test results cameback ok! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers ladies. Now I can finally enjoy my pregnancy. Well, as much as I can with all the nausea, aches, and discomfort. Lol

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Good morning ladies! I hope everyone had a great weekend. Here is my 15 week bump!

Want - SO SO glad your results came back good Enjoy and relax, as much as you can!!

Happy - CUTE CUTE CUTE bump

Sandoval - Happy 15 weeks

 

[Whisper82]

Sandoval - Yay for being an orange!

Happy - Absolutely fabulous bump!

Want - Phew! What a relief that the tests came back good!

AFM - Saw my OB today, and everything is still looking good. Still no definitive word on genders. One of the babies was turned in a way that it was impossible to see anything. He did get to take a look at the other one, and he thinks the one he could see is a girl. He said he was about 75% sure. lol. So basically, we still don't really know for certain. We will go for our 20 week scan in two weeks, where they will be using the super high tech ultrasound machine. Then, we should find out genders. I'm dying of anticipation! But I am super glad we even got to see the babies today and that they are looking good with heartbeats and such.

@Want, that is great that your results came back good. I am so happy that they did!!

@Happy, Cute bump hun!! You are looking good mamma!!

@Whisper, I am so glad to hear that everything is looking great with the twins. I know you must be anxious to find out the sexes for sure!! I know I can't wait either and I probably won't be able to find out until my 03/15 Level 2 twin ultrasound is done. It will be exciting to see if the ultrasound person's guess was right and if one baby is a girl for sure.

@Michelle, I love your scan picture, it is very cute!! It is so neat to see how much the baby has grown since the last one!!

 

[want2conceive]

Happy - cute bump girl!

Sand - congrat's on the orange!

Whisper - sry you couldn't see the genders yet. I'm eager to find out what your having so I know you must be too.

Michelle and Wanna - hope you both are doing great!

Sweet - where are you. Worried because you've been MIA a long time. Hope everything is well with you and your little one.

Update on me - went for an ultrasound yesterday and everything looks good. Was so cute when our little one scratched his nose while we were watching. Lol. We started buying some things too. Small things though like clothes, towels, and diaper stock. Found a couple of cool sites too that have sales from many different brands everyday. You order and then they place a bulk order. Some things are expensive like all sites but there are things that are worth it IMO. I'll see if I can post a link later tonight. Because if you girls signup through me, when you make your first purchase I get a $20 credit. : )

 

[want2conceive]

Oh, and disneyshopping.com was having a 40% off baby sale yesterday too.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Want I'm so glad the results were ok. Yay for shopping! I'm glad your appt went well.

Whisper how exciting a girl! Two more weeks and you'll find out the genders.

AFM, I had my appt with the specialist and he said everything looks good. He wants me to hold the twins until 36 weeks. He said twins are known for coming early. I'll have to have cervix u/s to make sure everything is moving along. Two more days and I get to see my twins and then the actual gender scan is next week.

 

[wannabeprego]

@Want, that is great that you have found some really good deals shopping for baby. I am looking forward to getting the web link to check out some of the good deals you were talking about. That is wonderful that your appointment went so well.

@Happy, How exciting, I can't wait to find out the genders of your twins!! I want to do a creative and fun announcement when we tell everyone the gender of our twins. I saw some really cute ideas online and on the boards on how to make the announcement. Are you going to do anything special when you announce the sexes?

I saw this video and I wanted to share, it is just too cute and so funny!!!

[HappyBunnyAB]

Wanna no I'm not creative at all. We were told two weeks ago of the sexes but next week it will be confirmed. DH already called everyone and said what they were. The video was funny. How about you? What ideas do you have?

Wanna no I'm not creative at all. We were told two weeks ago of the sexes but next week it will be confirmed. DH already called everyone and said what they were. The video was funny. How about you? What ideas do you have?

I was thinking of DH & me blowing up either pink or blue ballons, depending on the sexes and taking a picture of the two of us together for the annoucement, Or getting a pair of pink or blue baby shoes and holding them in the palms of our hands in a picture together, Or I could stand in front of a streamer that says the genders holding my bump, Or ultrasound pics with either pink or blue bows on the babies heads. This is just a few ideas I saw. Out of those I think the balloon one is the cutest, but I am still going to look around a little more before I decide for sure.

@Want, thanks for the links. I will be sure to check out the sites!!How do I indicate on the website that you invited me in case I buy something so you can get your coupon??

 

[michelle01]

OMG Happy, you are gonna know next week I am so excited to find out.

Want - How are you doing?

Wanna - That video isn't available anymore

I feel like I am just getting so big now! I posted my 13 week bump pic in my journal; a day early and I compared it to the past 2 weeks. Amazing how much you grow in just 2 weeks!

 

[Whisper82]

Michelle - Checked out your pics; your bump is growing! Woot! I woke up this morning and I think my bump grew overnight! So weird...

Want - Way to go with the shopping! You are on top of it. Glad your scan went well. I am also excited to start shopping - I really want to buy some gender specific stuff. Ugh - two more weeks to wait! I am going to check out the sites you posted.

Wanna - GL finding just the right way to tell everyone about the genders of your twins! Let us know what you decide to do. Cute video btw. \

Happy - Whoa next week is confirmation week for you! How awesome! My doc is also preparing me for the twins to come early. He said that in about six weeks or so they will be checking me out to determine if my activity level needs to change. Hoping to be able to stay active, but whatever it takes to keep the twins cooking!

AFM - I'm just in the "TWW" to find out the genders. Still dying of anticipation. I am also just working on getting myself centered and as emotionally ready as possible for new twin babies. I think I really need to spend some time reconnecting with old friends and possibly making some new friends before the babies come as I am a little worried about being too socially isolated as a new mom. I really withdrew from people a lot over the past year while dealing with infertility struggles. I think I need to reach out and make some new friends, but I am actually pretty shy. Hoping I can get my courage up to make plans with some new people.

 

[sandoval_star]

Wanna - I love the idea of a picture holding either pink or blue baby shoes. Cute!

Michelle - I'm so jealous of your bump! I've put weight on around the middle but have definitely not popped yet. Wish it would hurry up!

Whisper - I hear ya on the withdrawing from friends bit. Dh and I didn't tell any of our friends we were going through IVF so it was easier to not see people than socialise and make up excuses for why I wasn't drinking. I've made much more of an effort now I'm pregnant and feel better for it. I'm sure some of your friends that haven't heard from you in a while will be so happy you have reached out x

 

[want2conceive]

Wanna - I think it already links your account to mine as long as you signed up from my link or invite. Let me know when you make a purchase n I'll check. And wanna, my DH has a whole list of ideas fir pics when I get bigger. I'll see if I can peak at his list and give you girls some more ideas.

Michelle - I'm doing good. Taking it easy n dejunking the house a bit. I know what you mean about getting big. I feel like my bump has doubled in size since a couple weeks ago.

Whisper - I really hope you find out soon. So you can start preparing his their arrival.

Everyone - make sure once you sign up on those sites that you check them daily. They add sales everyday and they usually last only a few days but some items sellout fast. I stay away from the expensive stuff and have found some good items at great prices on zulily. For totsy I just recently found that site but it is almost the same as zulily. I'll try and post pics of what I purchased with prices by the weekend so you ladies can see. Some really cute stuff.

Update on me - I felt my little one move today after drinking some water and laying in bed. Felt him for about a good 3minutes. Was awesome knowing you have a human being growing in you but feeling it too.

 

[michelle01]

want - How awesome on feeling movement; it is so amazing!! I cannot wait for that.

Sandoval - I really think a lot of my bump is water weight You will pop out, give it time

Whisper - I am sure these 2 weeks will fly by for you I am sure you will make new friends; maybe look into mommy play groups or something like that in which you can meet new people that also have newborns!
