Weeks/Due Date - 16w3d / June 6

Symptoms - mostly just tired, headaches, constipation, and the rare bout of vomiting.

The Good - other than being tired, I feel pretty good most of the time. I randomly feel movement as well which is super exciting.

The Bad - so many holiday parties, surrounded by people drinking. I tried some non-alcoholic wine last night and it was horrible.

Milestones/Appointments - movement is getting more obvious / no appointments until January


To Do List - start exercising and check out boxing week sales for a stroller

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions? Meals? Etc.
We have a whole bunch of things we need to do, but we're having a storm today so we might have to cancel on some of them. As for today we will open presents with my family, and weather depending go to my aunt's for dinner (buffet style). Tomorrow is brunch at my mom's and Christmas dinner (turkey) at my other aunt's house.

To Do List - nothing of note

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions? Meals? Etc.
We spent yesterday making and decorating sugar cookies, then went to my MIL’s extended family Christmas party. After we got home I let the girls open all the gifts from DH and I, they were thrilled and didn’t want to go to bed. I am working this morning and then when I get home we will open santa gifts. After that we will go to my sister’s house to celebrate with my side of the family.

Weeks/Due Date - 22w, twins, sometime early-mid April

Symptoms - heartburn has gotten worse, my lower back is starting to act up and get more uncomfortable quicker.

The Good - things still seem to be going well as far as I can tell. Movement is getting more frequent.

The Bad - I suspect I’ll be complaining about sleeping problems from here out. Lol. I just hate the sleeping.

Milestones/Appointments - next appt Jan 6.

To Do List - this weekend my mom is going to paint my sons new room so that we can transition him there to start working on his room as the nursery.

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions?: We had Christmas with Hs family last weekend. Last night and today are with my family. Lots of good food and fun, we all get along well. We have also gotten a ton of our big baby gear we wanted/needed as gifts so that’s awesome. Saves us a ton of money!

Merry Christmas!

Weeks/due date - 16w1d/June 9

Symptoms - I’ve had a bad headache the past couple days, but I think it’s likely from flying/dehydration/eating different food than normal as much as from pregnancy. Still lots of round ligament pain when I get up.

Good/bad - not much besides headache

Milestones - anatomy scan next Friday the 3rd. My annual review at work will be that morning. I’d prefer to tell our CEO that I’m pregnant when he does my review, but I won’t say anything to work until after the anatomy scan.

Christmas stuff -
We flew cross country with the 3 kids on Monday (flight felt very very long!) to see all our family in Maryland. My parents sold the house I grew up in last year and moved to a bigger one, so it’s super easy to visit now with the kids. Yesterday my parents hosted my sister’s family (they have 3 kids similar ages as ours) and we all exchanged gifts and had dinner.

Today we did my kids’ gifts in the morning and then stopped at DH’s parents’ new place (they also moved last year to a smaller place) before we head to his sister’s around the corner. DS2 fell asleep in the car so I’m hanging in the car with him now and happy to have a few minutes to sit quietly after the craziness of the past couple days SIL is hosting us and her parents and in-laws today to exchange gifts and have dinner. Tomorrow we head a couple hours away to a theme park to spend two nights with my sister and BIL and DH’s sister and BIL and our combined 8 kids age 8 and under

Weeks/Due Date - 17 weeks/May 30th

Symptoms - I don't think I have too many right now, but may be distracted by the cold that DH shared with me. My nose is so stuffed up and it's difficult to sleep.

The Good - Movement every day!

The Bad - This dang cold.

Milestones/Appointments - My next appointment isn't until January 16th.

To Do List - We've finally convinced DD that moving her room upstairs is cool and started doing some things we need to get her up there. It's nice to feel like we're making progress!

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions? Meals? Etc. We did most of our Christmas stuff earlier this week, which is good because DS picked up a stomach bug from one of his cousins. Today has been a little rough.

Weeks/Due Date - 16w5d, June 5th

Symptoms - frequent terrible headaches

The Good - I’m feeling movement which is nice reassurance.

The Bad- I’m annoyed because nothing fits right now. My regular clothes are too tight and my maternity stuff is too big. I have a few things are for so I’ve just been wearing the same outfits over and over.

Milestones/Appointments - Appointment is this Friday. It’s crazy to think I’ll be scheduling my anatomy scan then.

To Do List - Nothing

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions? Meals? Etc. We spend Christmas Eve at DHs dads house on the afternoon then evening church service. Christmas Day is nice because we don’t have anywhere to be until the afternoon so the kids can just enjoy their gifts and play.

Weeks/Due Date - 15+5/ June 13

Symptoms - nausea is gone for the most part but I do get some bouts that are bad but pass quickly, starting to get heartburn mostly at night which is annoying, but it has been keeping me from after dinner snacking so I guess that’s one positive, also been getting headaches

The Good - finally told my whole family. That went well and I’m glad the whole announcement stuff is over with.

The Bad - nothing really

Milestones/Appointments - I have an appt tomorrow. Excited to hear a heartbeat. I have no reason to believe anything is wrong but it is a weird time before feeling the baby where I’m just like, am I still pregnant?

To Do List - I’m starting to do a little research into baby gear and deciding on a budget. I get overwhelmed with all the options. I’m trying to be as minimalist as possible but I have a tendency to go overboard so hopefully I can stay reeled in.

How are you spending Christmas? Fun traditions? Meals? We are at my parents. Got in Xmas eve and did dinner and played cards against humanity with my parents because my sister insisted and she is the worst, lol. Xmas day we opened gifts and just relaxed and ate a lot of cheese and apps, then did prime rib with mashed potatoes and carrots and a few other sides and it was delicious. It was low key and exactly what I was hoping for. Today we’re going to go to lunch and do a little shopping with my parents, while my sister takes Maya and my niece and nephew to Six Flags, then we’ll head back home.
