@blackbird: @autumnlove: It was hard to stay strong when she asked if I wanted the gender included in the report to my midwife. Now the only person who knows is the u/s tech.....so tempting!
@bpaig: Thanks
I know what you mean about the bump, but I am happy to be getting the point where I look more discernibly pregnant as opposed to chubby

@blackbird: Bloaty bumping, more like it!!!
@autumnlove: I really AM so happy. This pregnancy is such a blessing - it took us so long to get here, and I thank my lucky stars every day that IVF #2 has brought us here so far.
@Mrs. Blue: Thank you! I scored the dress for $5 this past weekend. It's a little short, but tights underneath make it ok!
@hergreenapples: Good for you! That profile is gorgeous. I LOVE your shots. I know we'll not find out for a while yet, but I'm going to call GIRL for you.
@bpaig: I'm 17+3 and feeling the same as you. Felt smaller until I took the pic and saw my gut out - and lots of stretchy and tender growing pains. Maybe this is normal for this stage of pregnancy?
@autumnlove: CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!

hey mamas!
our 2nd NT scan/ anatomy scan/gender reveal is tomorrow! Hubs & i are hoping for a girl...but more so, a happy healthy baby. positive thoughts would be immensely appreciated!
so far, i've been blessed with minimal pregnancy symptoms (only a little nausea and no fatigue) and i'm carrying on the low side. heart rate has been high every visit, in the 160+ range.
any guesses? i'll be sure to post the big reveal tomorrow after our appointment!
Hope everyone is feeling good this week!

We had our anatomy scan today! I can't believe I'm 20 weeks! Even crazier is I'll probably be having these babies in about 3/12 months (figuring early March). They were able to get almost all the anatomy in one u/s, which is apparently unusual with twins since they are cramped up in there. Both babies had no abnormalities and were definitely still boys (even I could tell this time and I suck at distinguishing anything on ultrasounds).
The high-risk dr. also came in and told us that even though we're never really past the risk of them developing twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome, that since they are showing absolutely no signs of it right now, he feels like our chances are much better that they will keep growing just like they should. Just thinking about maybe being more out of the woods makes me tear up; it's just such relief to hear good news! We will still be going every two weeks for u/s and watching closely until at least 30 weeks. He said at that point, if they develop TTTS, it would be less risky to just deliver them and have them in NICU for a while then to risk one of the TTTS procedures, which could result in us losing one. All in all, it was such a good report, and I'm just so happy my lil' men are doing well!
So anxious to hear from our @Sylvie_B and @Serendipity about genders! Happy Friday!

@jaguar: Boy! Boy! Boy! (I know I should wish a girl for her, but I just really need some company over here on Team Blue!!)

Update, lady!!!! I want to know how Baby Ostrich is doing!
@Mrs. Blue: This is such wonderful news - I'm so thrilled your baby boys are doing well. Just think - lots of scans = lots more time to ogle your wee ones, while we're all twiddling our thumbs!

@Mrs. Blue: I am so happy to hear you had a great anatomy scan and your boys are doing well!! Yay!!
@sylvie_b: Can't wait to hear!!!!!
wonderful grape / 20453 posts
yay Mrs Blue! I'm so happy you have great news! I can't believe you'll be having those boys in early March!
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
@jaguar: I do love see them so often, even if it's always accompanied by a lot of raw nerves! I think I'll do a post towards the end of my pregnancy with the ultrasound pictures so everyone can see how much the babies change all the way through. That's one of my big blessings is that I get to watch all the minute changes as they slowly become more and more human looking!
@blackbird: @sslm: Thanks, ladies! Blackbird, it is crazy that it will be early March, but my due date is April 6 and from what they say it sounds like I won't be allowed to go much, if any, past 36 weeks. I just hope they keep baking until then! So far, so good!

Looks like blue is not only my favorite color.....
We're having a healthy, happy BOY!!! He was so cooperative and everything looks perfect. We even saw him opening and closing his mouth! so crazy and we're over the moon
So much for maternal instinct and fast heart rates!
@Mrs. Blue: sooooo happy to hear your baby boys are growing healthy and strong!
@serendipity: how did your scan go today, my dear???? Thinking of you!!!
pomegranate / 3764 posts
@sylvie_b: Squee!!!!
@Mrs. Blue: Very exciting to see them grow and change. After the 19 week one, I don't know when our next one will be. They mentioned wanting to scan for growth further along... but we'll see.

sylvie_b, yay team blue! Mrs Blue needs some blue friends
@mrs blue, exactly! I was thinking, "wow i think she's due after me?!" and it's so crazy that they'll be here a month earlier now! You just lost a month of planning for them, ha
blogger / pomelo / 5361 posts
@sylvie_b: BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO excited for you! I think I recall that you were thinking girl (as was I for myself), but a boy will be SO much fun and you can now buy cute sweater vests and suspenders! I'm starting to get really excited about little boy things, and I'm so glad to have some company on Team Blue and someone to share boy ideas with! Congrats, my dear!!
Some of my current boy LOVES:

how many mamas have opted out of a FB baby announcement??
For some reason, the hubs and I feel like keeping this news a little closer to home. So, our official announcement will be via our holiday card, which we ordered on tiny prints.com {25% off sale!} today. And here's a sneak peek!
Any other mamas announcing via holiday card? I'd love to see!
@Mrs. Blue: yay team blue!!!! Love love love these crazy cute boy pieces....I can't wait for us to find more things for our little dudes!
@jaguar: gorgeous mama and a gorgeous baby bump!

Watching all the mamas having early labor on the November thread is getting me SO excited for April!
Baby is super active today, little "kick kick kick kick" all afternoon. Makes me want to go get an u/s RIGHT NOW and find out if it's a he/she. Sigh... soon.

@jaguar: thanks so much!!! I feel a little not so hot, like I've gained weight in my face... But my DH sweetly says I definitely haven't.
