Oh I agree. You don't HAVE to stay home because you have a special needs child. That was a decision we just made as a family, that that would be our choice.

Yeah, I've thought of that. I know it would just take so much work. You can't just sit back and go along for the ride if you want your child with a disability to succeed. You have to research and be pushy and fight for your child's rights. I've seen it way too much, there just isn't a lot of support or money out there. These poor parents really have to fight for their kids. There is so much out there, but it isn't always easy to find.

Kara-That's scary about the bloody amnios!
It's funny bc I'm not scared of needles at all, but something about that needle being close to my baby...maybe bc I have a scar on my head from when I was born by cesarean lol It's a super tiny scar, but I'm proud. I show people all the time! Like I said, I told her I just don't want anything invasive...blood tests are a-okay!

Rachel and Amanda-Such cute little bumps!!!

Morgan-My pants were tight at 5 weeks and I was pulling my lower abs like crazy around that time too. It seems to go in spurts, I'm guessing when there is major growth. Like today, even standing up I seem to be pulling stomach muscles. However, I'm not a skinny minnie like all you girls...I'm sure having an out of shape belly doesn't help lol Plus that small factor of twins! It's definitely getting harder though. I just can't wait to actually look pregnant and not just fat lol
You also mentioned the cm the other day...mine has been way more basically since I got the bfp. More than I've ever had! lol All my pain is from pulling muscles in my stomach and in my majorly sore/sensitive boobs/nipples! Not really any back pain yet. I see a chiropractor on a regular basis though, so I think that helps.

DW is obsessed with my belly...she always has been really, but it's way worse now lol She has to kiss the babies everyday.

Well, I think the constipation may have kicked in...probably bc I barely ate anything all weekend. I haven't had a bm since Friday. So I bought some prunes! lol My brother was calling me an old lady. I ate 4...do you think that will make me crap my pants? How many do you think I should eat?
 
Lol!!! I actually love prunes!! Haha, I think four is good to start...I dunno if I'd eat anymore though!!

That made me think of the "oops, I crapped my pants" SNL skit! Lol!! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8j8jVFTOV5Y&desktop_uri=/watch?v=8j8jVFTOV5Y

DH loves my belly too, he talks into it and kisses the baby goodnight and good morning :) I love it!
 
Lol a gallon of feces...I hope I don't need some of those later!
 
In roughly 45 minutes, it will officially be less than 2 weeks until my gender/anatomy scan! I'll be 17 weeks along and I'll have just 13 days until my scan. I really, REALLY hope these days fly by. I'm getting impatient. Especially after holding my friend's 1-day-old boy today!
 
Yay for gender scans!

I have 19 days until I'm 12 weeks, yay! Lol my stomach feels huge tonight! It's so hard. Prob bc I need a bm lol
 
Does anyone else get a weird taste in their mouth? If I eat real sugary foods or high processed foods it leaves the worst taste in my mouth. Maybe it's my body's way of telling me to eat healthier lol
 
Girls loving the bumps :)

Ah Julie, the dreaded pregnancy mouth. That had to be one of my least favourite symptoms. My MS sickness was bad and everytime I got that awful taste it made me feel even worse. I found the only way to get rid of it but only temporarily was a tongue scraper!
 
Love the baby bumps!! So cute!

I didn't think about extra specialists and whatnot being on hand in the case of a special needs child. Thank you for that view point. Definitely something to consider when we get to that point, especially considering our baby was still born, but still heartbeat of 130 the last I remember. It was so close.. although the neonatal team was on hand and worked on him for 25 minutes..I couldn't risk that again for sure. Cross that bridge when I get there! :)

Julie, I was so constipated! Ugh. Lots of water, fruits and veggies and other high fiber foods were helpful for me. Feel better!
 
Haha you girls are so funny.. I was reading along lastnight and fell asleep with the phone in my hand!!

Julie I can't imagine how you feel already. Like I said, mine felt hard yesterday and this morning it still is pretty "out there"!! Also on the BM front, my doc said it's okay to take up to 3 of the 100mg sodium docusate (general stool softener) daily w/ your prenatal. My prenatal also already has 25 mg of it in there, but it's not enough. It has kinddd of been helping move things along, but the fibrous foods definitely make it easier. I was used to once a day, now it's maybe once every 3! :/

Waves and Rachel- Lovely bumps, they are definitely unmistakable now! :)

And Waves woot woot for 2 weeks.. Those gender scans will be so fun to see for everyone. No one is going yellow (not finding out) right?! There are a ton of ladies on my April thread who are.

AFM- Maybe I'll post a bump pic tonight of this little bloat thing I've got going on! Lol
 
Rachel and Amanda, the bumps are too freakin cute!

Kara, Morgan, Julie....I wanna see some more bump pics please :)
 
Morning girls! (Yes, it's still morning in Cali)

Looking adoreable girls!

I started feeling taps and pokes around 15-16 weeks, but nothing noteable. But at 18 weeks, it was like he WOKE UP! Even then it wasn't every day, but it was obviously baby finally!

Oh my goodness... 4 prunes would have never budged my constipation. I just ate a ton of fresh fruit, at least 3 servings a day with lots of water.

Then my midwide suggested taking a magnesium supplement (200-400 mgs, but no more than that). It helps things move along nicely! And it's safe! It also helped with my migraines a lot!

Today I feel very tight and crampy. I am hoping my motor is getting revved up for what is to come with in the next 4 weeks!
 
I'm so excited Emily, you have to update us through labor and post pictures and such!!! :)

Think I'll look into magnesium instead of the other stuff, I've been getting headaches a bunch lately.

Amanda- I posted one in the other thread a few nights ago did you not see? I can post another tonight with this mini pretend bump lol. It's finally starting to do something in there, very sore today.

I must have missed it! You have to post another tonight please! ;)
 
I'll post another one on either Sunday or Monday. I feel like with all the pulling and weird things in my belly this week, there's been a lot of growth.
 
I had 4 prunes last night and have a baggie with me today...I've already had 2 today. Nothing so far! lol

I will definitely not be team yellow...like bb said, I am way to impatient and OCD not to find out. It's killing me now that I can't buy things!!! I bought some cute little onsies with matching hats and socks from Target the other day. They have a grey starburst on the front that says "New"...I had to satisfy the need a little!

bb-I might have to try the tongue scraper. I am not a fan of that bad taste!

I got those onesies last year as a baby shower gift for a friend! Super cute! they had them in a really cute pink flower print.

I can't wait to find out what you are having, Julie!
 
Me either! We started cleaning out the baby room this past weekend...we are going to be so anxious to start painting and decorating, but we can't really do that until we know what we're having! We are going with grey as our main color, but then will have pops of either pink, purple, turquois, blue...depending on the sexes. I think we've agreed to go to an outside sonogram place to get a gender scan before our 20 week apt with the doc. They don't do 3D though until after 24 weeks. I have no idea why. I may call and see what they can do for me...
