    Guys, have y'all noticed how much @however briefly has shown us up on the October board? She's making charts and calendars! The bar has definitely been raised. I'm thoroughly impressed with her mad skills.

    @T.H.O.U.: That is very true. I really love that.. it keeps me from saying that I'm "between 12 to 15 weeks, give or take a few days." I love the August ladies!

    Here, how's this? I made it match Hellobee!

    Maybe I could make the names pink/blue/green for genders and team green? Unfortunately I don't think I can fit number of LOs in this! We'll need a separate chart for that.

    Welcome @swurlygurl!

    @PUI: love the calendar! Thanks for doing that!

    In regards to fertility struggles/announcing...while I didn't struggle as long as some ladies (got pregnant on our 7th cycle) I remember struggling with jealousy everytime someone announced their pregnany (those 7 cycles were the longest of my life and I felt very alone!) I swear everytime I turned around someone else was announcing!! However I was very open with people in my life about how we were trying and my frustrations and a lot of people opened up to me about their journeys. That helped me realize I wasn't the only one who didn't get KU on the first or second try (like I felt most people in my life were fortunate enough to have happen- silly me!) I wished more people were open with their journeys so we could all commiserate together....it helps to know sometimes you're not the only one going through something.

    @locavore_mama: I'll get around to posting a u/s pic of the twins soon. They aren't in the same plane of view (apparently) so the u/s tech wasn't able to get a pic of both of them together. I'm happy to see they are looking less like blobs and more like blobabies. Lol

    @pui: that calendar rocks!

    Is anyone else having mild cramping? im not bleeding or spotting so I'm not super worried, but it's the first time that I am feeling mentrual-like cramps so far. I'll ask the midwife next week and will call if it gets worse, but thought I'd ask you guys too since there are a lot of repeat mommas.

  23. regberadaisy

    GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts

    @MrsT927: yes, off and on. I did with #1 as well. It's very normal because your insides are basically stretching and everything is being moved around to accommodate the baby.

  24. pui

    bananas / 9899 posts

    @MrsT927: Yeah I have had some very minor cramping. It's definitely less bad than the cramping I would get before AF so I haven't been too concerned. Like @locavore_mama said, lots is changing in our bodies!

  25. MrsT927

    olive / 51 posts

    @locavore_mama, @pui: That makes sense! Thanks! I knew it wasn't anything to set off major alarm bells, but definitely a new feeling at this point. It's exciting to think about how much baby is growing these days!

  26. regberadaisy

    GOLD / wonderful pomegranate / 28905 posts

    @MrsT927: yea, LOL if you're interested you should ask your midwife. My OB showed me a diagram of how your insides all shifted all kinds of crazy to accommodate baby. Things that should be down low are all the way up high. Craziness. Then it all just moves back in place PP!

    @pui: so pretty!

    Has anyone else noticed any lopsided-ness in their bump? Mine looks a little wonky during the day, but when I wake up in the morning it is CRAZY uneven. It's pretty comical....

    You guys - karma!

    Last night, DH and i were driving and a car blew past a stop sign and hit us. We had very minor damage as DH swerved so we missed most of the impact but they still did hit us on the rear passenger side. So while I called the cops, DH went over to see if they were ok (and realizing that they are a 90 year old couple). DH comes back, we look back, and they had left! They just left - i have no idea what they were thinking! So the cop shows up, we tell them what happened, and he takes off to try to look for them and tells us he will be back and for us to stay put. While waiting for them, DH spots something reflecting on the road where we got hit. He goes over - what does he find? Their license plate fell off!!!!!!! So when the cop came back he ran the plate and found their information and whatnot.

    I feel bad because they were very old, and maybe they were confused, but at the same time, they really could have been hurt very badly or hurt someone else. The cop told us the old lady who was driving, will be required to take a driving test. I was just trying to get home! It was an eventful night to say the least.

    @chibee: LOL wow what are the odds!? That is amazing!!!

    I'm of the opinion that if you can't drive, you can't be on the road, doesn't matter the reason. I feel bad that as we age we lose some of our reflexes and such that makes it harder to drive, but if you can't drive safe you shouldn't be driving, period! I see nothing wrong with her being required to take a test.

    @JennyPenny: Wow that is pretty uneven! I haven't noticed anything like that, but I haven't really been paying attention either.

    @JennyPenny: wow that's funny! I forget you are much farther ahead than most of us and that makes me really jealous!! have you felt movement yet?

  33. swurlygurl

    honeydew / 7091 posts

    @JennyPenny: How funny! I have some extra padding, but when I feel around, it feels exactly like yours looks - just a big lump on one side!

  34. swurlygurl

    honeydew / 7091 posts

    @chibee: So scary! I'm so glad you're okay and your car didn't get hurt too badly. It's such a sad thing to have to realize when you're too old to drive, but I agree @pui: - when it's not safe, it's just not safe!

  35. JennyPenny

    nectarine / 2460 posts

    @chibee: Yep, about 3 times now. It lasts 10 minutes or so and feels like tickling. So far, I think I would describe the second trimester as funny. Between my lopsided bump and my tickling dance parties there's a lot to laugh about

    @locavore_mama: how are you feeling now with your pneumonia? hope you're feeling better.

    @msmug: glad your NT scan went well!

    @mrs. 64: Yay! Glad your NT scan went well!

    @pui: This one was a surprise but my first took 8 months with 2 miscarriages in there. I still announced on FB. I felt like it was my turn to be happy and I wanted to celebrate and share that with others. I didn't know of any friends going through issues otherwise I would have talked to them before doing the announcement.

    @swurlygurl: Welcome!!!!

    @pui: love the calendar! I love that it matches Hellobee! Great job.

    @MrsT927: I get mild cramps here and there. They don't even compare to AF cramps so I'm not worried about it.

    @JennyPenny: wow! That's crazy. That didn't happen to me until I was much farther along. Like 30+ weeks. Are your really thin? You can totally see baby is hanging out on your left side.

    @chibee: oh my goodness! How scary. I'm glad you guys are ok. Don't feel bad for the old couple. She could have seriously hurt someone so it's good that they'll be able to find her and make her take a driving test.

    I feel like I've been MIA for a little while. My nausea has subsided a lot! Yay! It feels good to feel good again. I'm just counting down the days until my u/s next friday! I can't wait. Hopefully they'll be able to tell us what we're having!

    Hope you all are doing well!

    I am so so so so SO ready for this bone crushing exhaustion to just gtfa already. I'm always thinking of my next nap. & around 2pm every day i just die. It's ridiculous.

    Cannot believe I'm already 16wks (today!). It feels like time has been on fast forward since December.
