Danny, lovely you're feeling taps! I'm anterior as well (I just found that out yesterday). I've felt rolls and some taps, but I don't feel like movement is increasing like everyone says it will! It's still early, though. It is exciting! I love the thread idea!
Glad you're feeling better, what an awful thing to go through! Yay for a bonus scan, though
Maryp, wonderful you've agreed on a boy name!
Sonny, I agree with you! I use a neti-pot for sinus wash anytime I feel pressure up there and I haven't gotten an infection for years now
Sorry to hear about your heart palpitations! Has your doc suggested baby aspirin at all? Wisdom teeth?!? How awful! I can't wait to hear how your scan goes!
Hi Butternut! Sorry to hear about your nerve pain! I don't have a nursery set up at all, we haven't even finished putting on the primer. I use the room for yoga right now! I can't wait to hear everyone's suggestions as it's my first time and I am clueless. We've been looking around, but I think it's totally normal not to buy anything big until after 24 weeks or so. And yes, I have big stuff on my registry, but I'm not planning on anyone picking that stuff up! I'm having two small showers, one here and one down where my family lives (traditional to have one there, but I don't want to leave my local friends/family out!) and I'm doing a registry mostly just to get free stuff from amazon/target
The reviews on stuff are helpful, though! Still having trouble figuring out a breast pump. Any opinions on double ones?
Mdc congrats on team PINK!! Any names picked out yet? So funny about the random person milestone! AFM, haven't popped yet
MissDoc, love the pics! Look at that little nose! So funny about how stubborn they can be, right? Sounds like you're far along on the preparation wagon!
My scan went really well yesterday! Well, mostly. 12/18 was the anniversary of when we found out about the MMC for the twins last year, so I was super anxious about this visit. It was hard to be in the office, even though it isn't the same OB, and OH was stuck working so I was alone, just like last year. I didn't think it would be a big deal, though. Anyway, then they tell me the sonographer is behind and the OB will see me first, but not my usual OB (which is fine, I want to meet all of them anyway BC who knows who will be on call when I deliver!). I'm fine until I start thinking about it. Then I start tearing up right before she comes in to do the doppler...When she does come in to do the doppler and we hear the heartbeat, all of my emotions just release and I start crying, I don't know if with relief or what, but it was just a tough moment. It was good knowing everything was fine. I guess I was really depending on that scan first to know she's moving around and all. Anyway, they finally got me in for my scan and sure enough, she's fine, wriggling around in there. I felt totally ok after that, except for a bit emotionally drained. I did find out I have an anterior placenta, so I might feel less movement. Maybe that's why I haven't felt the dramatic upswing in movement I thought I would! Or maybe it's just not a dramatic thing.
I'm so eager to know!!!
