Eames, Next scan is a/s at 20 weeks, then he wants me to get scanned every 4 weeks after that. He also said around 32 (possibly 30?) I'll go in for 1-2x weekly NST.

I compared my bump to the pictures from E today and I'm closer to what I was at 21 weeks with her (almost 17 now). I wasn't even wearing a maternity top until 21 week pictures last time apparently!

Same. I remember that I got maternity shirts for Christmas when pregnant with DD but didn't need them before that and I was around 20 weeks.

I didn't really take bump pics until I was much further along with my DD, but I feel like right now I'm as big as I was when I was 20+ weeks with her.

I made a photo book of my pregnancy last time (oh to be that ambitious again 😉) and was a little embarrassed, my first "bump" pic was from like 9 weeks. I know I took it for comparison, but it's pretty silly now, ha.

And it looks like I'm arching my back more to make it stick out. So embarrassing!

When I was in the waiting room at the doctor's yesterday, the receptionist was scheduling an appt on the phone and the caller "thought she had a tampon stuck." Yikes.

I remember being frustrated that I didn’t look as big as I thought I was on camera, lol

Oh gosh, this made me go back and look at old bump pictures. I was so tiny! Ahhhh the good old days, when I had time and energy to workout every day.

You got not-in-very-good-shape mom to carry you.

You guys, I'm not sure where to put this, the crying thread seems too trivial. I just told some extended family the news, and while they seem excited it made me really miss my mom (she passed away from cancer). She would always be the one to call everyone and would just be so excited.
All of a sudden it hit me full force that she won't meet these two, and I miss her so much and am sitting here sobbing. 💔
(I'm working at home today.)

I'm sorry Eames. My FIL passed less than 48 hours after our baby shower for DD. So he knew we were expecting and what we planned for her first name. This time he doesn't even know the twins exist. It's so incredibly weird and sad at the same time.

Eames that’s so hard and so sad. I’m sorry. I wish she could meet them too. It’s strange what can make us feel someone’s absence, things as unexpected as having to make your own phone calls make you realize which spaces in your life she’s missing from. ❤️

Thanks, all. It hasn't even been a year, so while I'm mostly ok, sometimes I get these waves of grief out of nowhere. ❤

I'm sorry, Eames My dad passed in 2013, and when we announced on FB yesterday, all my uncle could say was "I wish your dad was here for this", and i just burst into tears. I totally get it. It's such a surreal feeling.

Regarding the size of bumps... with my first pregnancy I remember going to Motherhood Maternity around 16 weeks and not really needing maternity clothes yet. This time around, I've been in them since... before 12 weeks? They're just so much more comfortable.
I really need to take some bump pics. I've been working on DD's baby book and photo album, and am already having guilt about doing the same for the next 2 kids. I want to make sure I do stuff, because I was the second child and my older sibling definitely has more of that type of thing!
One thing I want to do is take pics of each kid individually, not just "the twins" together all the time.

I had an appointment today and the doctor did a quick ultrasound peek before the doppler (I think it’s his standard so he doesn’t waste time figuring out where the baby is lol) and he paused and said “yup, that’s a boy alright!” And showed me the kid’s junk. It made me laugh but also like omg it really is a boy. Apparently I believe things I see with my own eyes over DNA. It was so great to see him and hear his heart beat, although he did look at us face-on and that gives the freaky Voldemort face rather than the cute side profile. Ahhh.
I also got a prescription for my heartburn and I cannot wait to pick that up this afternoon. God bless Prosilec.
