@ladyfingers: Love the bump photo

I've been taking weekly photos and up to last week it still looked like I just had too many burritos. I think this weekend (I take pictures on Saturdays) it might look a little more like a baby bump, if so I'll post mine too!

Happy Friday ladies! My appointment is today at 2:40pm. I'm going to be staring at the clock all morning in anticipation.

Any fun plans for the weekend?

We are having some friends over for a bbq but that's all we have planned so far. I think I will check out some maternity consignment stores as well.

Hi!! I'm new here, though I was on WB. My due date is 2/16!

I had my appt on Friday with my OB and the babies looked great. I had my NT scan today which is the only genetic screening available for multiples and the doctor said the measurements looked good! What a relief. I was also able to see the babies again. It was so cool to see them squirming and moving about. Their little limbs were so cute! Here is a profile shot of both them.

@photojane: Hi, thank you!! Been feeling good lately, the mega fatigue is easing up and although smells still bother me, I don't really get nauseated any longer. Now it's ravenous hunger!!!

I hope the 2nd brings some relief for you!

@WALLAROO: hey! We actually had lunch first and it was 4 by the time anybody made a move for the beach! I was too exhausted so the suit will have to wait till next week in the Outer Banks for its debut

Your twins look great!

@WALLAROO: Not yet, I have to go in for high-risk cervical measurement scans at 16 and 18 weeks so I've got those yet! Aug. 23 is our next one, we're hoping we can find out the sex then!

Congrats, Layla! So happy to see you here

I'll email you

@wallaroo - my anatomy scan is also scheduled for september 10th!

@laylabelle - welcome!

Today is 13 weeks and 3 days, and I traveled to New Orleans over the weekend.... and ended up eating mostly salads, potatoes, and tomatoes. How sad right??? I was eating some fried chicken (which is awesome there), and then felt all of this pressure around my heart, like someone's hand was squeezing it on all sides - one of my formerly pregnant friends just told me that this is what heartburn is. Boo..

Otherwise, I'm feeling pretty good, and since I haven't told work yet, I'm trying to hide this bump!! Not sure how much longer I can wait before people really start to notice.

@photojane: Oh no! I got really nauseous this morning, more than I've ever been yet and I was thinking, is it possible for MS to kick in at like 14 weeks?! Thank goodness it passed. I'm sorry you're feeling yucky!

@photojane: Oh no!!!

@Emilie: unfortunately, no! i wish it was just certain foods. sometimes when i'm really sick, and i try to drink water to keep from getting dehydrated, i even throw up the water! it's the weirdest thing. like @ladyfingers, it's actually gotten worse the farther along i've gotten.

@laylabelle: welcome and congrats!

Do you ladies get people asking others if you're pregnant and guessing you are way further ahead than you actually are? My friend's mom thought I was 4-5 MONTHS along! I'm only 13 weeks. Way to make a pregnant woman feel self conscious!

@Mrs. Lantern: I've been circumventing all possible comments by being quite vocal about how huge I think I am for how far along I am. I'm insufferable like that.

@Mrs. Lantern: I haven't experienced this yet. I'm still trying to hide the bump since I haven't told work yet. I plan on telling them next week.

I ordered my first set of maternity clothes last night online from Old Navy and Gap. I hope they fit and don't look frumpy!

hubs and i are making a chalkboard tomorrow to FINALLY start our weekly bump pictures. i've been waiting until it looked like a bump, and not just fat. i'll post one as soon as we get it finished!

@photojane - you know, I think it was the fact that there were two tiny pieces of chicken mixed in with the pasta. Otherwise it was mostly vegetables and pasta. Note to self: take the chicken out before trying to eat the rest! I did have some pork last night though for the first time during my pregnancy and that I was able to eat that just fine - so, I'm glad I'm getting some protein in my system.

Oooh - I just saw the hellobee post.
@Mrs. High Heels - where are you?? congrats!!

@Mrs. High Heels: WOOHOO! so excited to have you join the feb mamas group!!

This weekend I officially entered the second trimester. Woo hoo! I celebrated by going to Gap Maternity and bought my first pair of maternity jeans :). My online order should be coming in today or tomorrow. At Gap they had one of those fake bumps you can wear to try on their clothes. That was kind of fun to put on and imagine what it will look like once I have a real baby bump. My husband took a picture and sent it to my dad and sister and they thought I really grew that much over night. Haha!

@Mrs. High Heels: Welcome and so glad you are joining us!

@Phillybaby2013: I'm doing my best to hide it at work but on the weekends my family and friends say that I am showing now. I am planning on telling my boss this week so then I won't have to hide it anymore. As for the fashion right now, hopefully with fall and winter coming up we'll have more options. I'm looking forward to leggings, tunics/light sweaters, and boots!
