It's ultrasound day! The morning did not get off to a great start though. We pulled DD from her preschool and the director has been a snatch about the whole thing and refuses to give me a refund for the registration even though her assistant told me we would be getting one. So of course I'm taking this as a bad sign for today. On the upside it distracted me from how nervous I am about the appointment today. So that's nice.
I don't even believe in signs, but on the way to my ultrasound at 11 weeks, I heard what I think of as my infertility theme song, and it got me all paranoid. And then everything was fine. I'm sorry you had a bad morning, but I hope your appointment later makes up for it!
we did, but I'm not 100% sure they "get" it. We've talked about it before and they kind of "knew" - they told their teachers, lol - but I don't think it's tangible for them yet.
Hey their birthday is tomorrow! Big party plans this weekend?

That's interesting you say that because when I got in the car this morning 'somewhere over the rainbow' was playing and I was thinking how I had one rainbow baby and was hoping it meant this one is our next rainbow baby. I'm Italian so I can probably find a sign in anything haha!
Gumby, that sucks about the GD. I hope it is easily managed through diet for you. Spain sounds awesome though.
My symptoms are starting to fade so of course my mind is going to the worst possible place. I swear I need some sort of 12 step group to deal with my anxiety over this entire thing. I am always waiting for the other shoe to drop.
swiftlyirun I've only gain a couple of pounds too and no effing way I could wear my jeans at this point.
I've been living in dresses and a pair of elastic waist capris I did break out a pair of maternity slacks for work yesterday.
The bloat is real!
Haha. The only maternity trousers I own are full panel, so that's what I'm wearing. They didn't fit properly when I first moved into them at 10 weeks, but now fit quite nicely. Probably helped by the fact that I ate an entire plate of Sunday roast at the pub the other day lol.

This was me weeks 8-10 for some reason, I calmed down a bit last week. I was getting so nervous I was trying to find places that I could just straight up pay for an ultrasound (don't do this).
My OB put it this way: "The hardest part about this for you now is that you're a normal patient, you're just like everyone else. No more ultrasounds every week".
He was so right, I think once I adjusted to the idea that I wasn't going to see my beebee every week, I delt with it better.
I'm sure none of this helps :::hugs::: coming from TTTC I think we all feel this way. I say I'm not as nervous, but I've talked to my nurse twice. In two days. So there's that

I am 14w4d today! I had an OB appt yesterday, and my little babies are doing great! I know they'll keep flipping around, but at least for now they have listened to their mommy and are both head-down. It was amazing to see them both in there, and I felt so relieved once we had heard both heartbeats! The tech agreed with the perinatologist's sex guesses, so we'll just have to wait a few more weeks to see!
I've started telling more people at work, and am now telling them it is twins (among those who knew I was pregnant, only my boss knew that). It's nice to hear how excited everyone is for us!
Unfortunately, my nausea is still bad. I've also been exhausted the past couple days -- I'm ready to move into the wonders that I hear second tri is supposed to hold!
Trying for #3; FET 8/18 -- BFN. Leaving things up to chance for now... After three years, three IVFs, and two FETs, we finally have our miracle babIES!
KB when you find the 12 step program sign me up to please because I am OFF MY ROCKER. I feel bad that y'all only know the crazy bcarp and not the chill, fun, actually normal bcarp.

I told my husband I was anxious about the chromosome testing results, and he asked when the anxiety would stop and I could just relax. I told him after these results, but...yeah right.
Okay cactuscookie I need you to talk some sense into me more often!
U/s looked great, baby is measuring one day ahead again at 8w3d and HR 166. They did see a slight sac separation which I had with DD at this same time so I know what to expect. Hopefully with the same outcome.
swiftlyirun I'll be in maternity or using a belly band soon enough. I'm only 6 weeks and already can't stand a few pairs of my work pants. I had put on some weight in my midsection due to my hypothyroidism and the bloat isn't making it any better. I have to wear dress clothes every day so I may be switching over to dresses soon. It'll be better once I've told everyone at work because then I won't have to hide it. I say whatever makes you feel comfortable you should go with.
Telling DD went great tonight. It took her longer to figure it out then we thought it would because she was afraid to suggest I was pregnant but when she did she got so excited, started crying and then hugged DH. I was like "what about me?" LOL. I can't wait until tomorrow night when the parents find out! Too bad those will be over the phone and via FaceTime.
@cookiemonster13 I can't believe how big the girls are! So cute. Happy birthday. We didn't do a friend party last year. Just too much going on. I couldn't get away with it two years in a row but it was nice for me to have a year off v
32 weeks. 2 months to go! I have to schedule my growth u/s. I'm nervous to see baby's position. He has been head down for the entire pregnancy, but there have been clear flips lately that make me very unsure.
I'm 7w 5d. I'm in desperate need of a car nap right now but I'm so glad to see other first tri (and beyond) ladies racked with worried. It makes me feel a little bit more normal. I thought after the BFP it'd be smooth sailing and all my worries would disappear- HA!

I'm so glad that I'm not the only one that A.Car naps. B. Refers to them as car naps! Love it.
Muddled I didn't know you are having a boy! For some reason I thought you were team green! So exciting!!!
loira FX for a successful CVS and quick, good results!
Oh, I don't know. That's my feeling, but I tend to flip flop my pronouns.
I think this would be the most annoying part of being team green. "It" just doesn't sound right, but he/she is confusing. I'm looking forward to finding out the gender (any day now, come on MFM, call with the chromosome testing results...) so I can stick with a pronoun!

shoeless, first tri is full of anxiety. It's totally normal and it completely blows, but you'll survive.
Ooh that's even more exciting!! I love when people are team green because I don't have the patience to wait that long to find out. I can live vicariously through them.
cactuscookie I can't wait to hear what you're having! Do you have a thought one way or the other?

It doesn't bother me. Whatever comes out of my mouth is what comes out.

Got the call with the chromosome bloodwork results. Less than 1 in 10,000 risk for the issues they tested for.
OMG you guys, this might actually happen.
I don't know the sex yet; I was in a meeting and the genetic counselor didn't want to leave that on a message, so I have to call and find out.
bcarp30, I was feeling one way, but then the ultrasound tech yesterday said that, although it's obviously very early, she would guess the other way. I'll know for sure in a couple hours.
Appointment went well this morning. We got to hear the heartbeat. It was at 122 this morning. And it's looking more and more like the second one is going to be a vanishing twin due to the fact that there's no heartbeat.
