Going to have an ultrasound in a few hours. Haven't felt a single symptom in 3 days except for the fact that my face is broken out. Kinda worried.

I personally despise him for a long list of reasons and want him completely cut off from the family. DH says we can't just write off family. I fail to see why not. Nobody would put up with that behavior in anyone else and still want to be involved with them. I don't think it should matter if it's family or not.Quote:

FIL has been ranting on Facebook about it all night though. I have him blocked because of his random rants directed at me in the past, but my mom emailed me the screenshots. I'm pretty sure he's going to ruin my Easter announcement now by telling everyone before then. The man is an obnoxious control freak and totally fits the characteristic personality traits of a narcissist. Always tells you what to do, thinks he's the expert on everything and puts others down for differing opinions, pretends he never said what he did and acts like anyone is crazy for saying he did, insults your intelligence. All that fun stuff. I've had nothing but problems with him over the years and feeling nothing but burning hatred toward him. He's done and said so many things that are completely out of line, lies to my face, and has no concept of or respect for boundaries. As awful as it sounds, I eagerly await the day he dies.

What is wrong with people? If you aren't he one who has to pay for them or raise them, I couldn't imagine why you would say something like this. People are horrific.Quote:

AFM- just submitted my scan for a Ramzi guess. I think abdominal scans are mirrored? Idk lol.

They got back to me and said they couldn't tell based on my image ( which was clear as day) and said they would offer a 50/50 guess of boy. LOL. A couple of the ladies here thought girl. I just can't wait for my scan in a little over a week!Quote:

BunnyGirl I would feel the same way. My In-laws aren't excited either about this third baby, they think no one should have more than two. My FIL said to DH "I don't know why you would want a girl, they're nothing but a headache and trouble." DH sister was a challenge for them to raise but it was due to circumstances they created and maintained, not bc she was a girl.Quote:

We have plenty, we need nothing and when we tell them something the boys do need to get for a gift they refuse bc it's not "fun". Sometimes I think my in-laws are just miserable and want to make everyone else as miserable as they are. Maybe that's your in-laws problem too! Sounds like your FIL has issues with control. I say if they don't add any joy to your life then it's time to cut them loose, family or not. That's why it's our goal to move away from our families as soon as DH gets a promotion. We need to create a positive environment for our kids, and I don't think that will be possible as they get old enough to understand more. :p
Hoping you can separate yourself from the negativeness of your FIL. I think you have MUCH to be excited and happy about and I hope your DH can find the courage to stand up for you and your family to them. Thinking of you!!
Omg I can't imagine!! Hopefully you guys can stay away from him. My in laws annoy me sometimes but I know our families are going to be freaking out and happy. My mother in law has 5 granddaughters so she's going to be annoying about if it's a boy or not. Ugh his whole family will be and that drives me crazy. I get really protective of my girls, like what's wrong with them?!?!Quote:

Bunnygirl--that is just so unfair. I'm so sorry you've got in-law drama!
We told the kids last night. 6 year old is so excited he's been telling random strangers all day. Lol! My 16 year old's reaction: "Uh...can you afford another kid? Do you have time for another kid?" Ha! Gotta love a practical teen. I told him not to worry--his college fund is already funded and he doesn't have to share a room with a baby sister. He seemed mildly reassured by that. Waiting to tell everyone else until Easter. We have a fun reveal planned, but i have a feeling 6 year old will blurt it out before we have a chance.
Let's talk weight gain and bellies. I haven't gained weight at all, still down 8lbs. and I'm 11 weeks. I'm not really showing, unless you count the bloated stomach at the end of the day which really makes me look chubby and disappears in the morning. I'm spreading out more than growing out. My bras feel too tight around the band (I think this may be a side effect of the nausea and loose clothing feels so much better.) and my jean are tight around the waist but not out in front so much as the whole way around, but they fit everywhere else. So I gave in this week and pulled out the maternity clothes so I could be more comfortable. I've always had an ultrasound by now in my previous pregnancies so I felt a little more reassured by the heartbeat and such. I've never had a baby with the Dr. I have now, but she hasn't ordered any ultrasounds yet. She said we'd talk about it next appt. I wish I had asked for an ultrasound now. Everyone in my circle of friends keeps commenting on how much earlier they showed with each consecutive baby. Should I be worried? Is anyone else not gaining or showing yet? :worry:
I've gone from 137 to 162 so far. Yikes! I definitely have a baby bump. I'm bigger at 17 weeks with the twins than I was at 28 weeks with my other kids. I'm doomed. LOL
I don't think you need to worry. Plenty of people feel so sick they lose weight and although many show sooner with each pregnancy some say each one was different. I've been "showing" since 7 weeks this time (but just to me with no clothes on). Now at 11 weeks it's obvious with a tight fitting shirt, my jeans are becoming snug and uncomfortable and I've gained 1-5 lbs. (mine fluctuates so much I can't be sure). I'm surprised you haven't had a dating ultrasound around 8-10 weeks?
Aw, BunnyGirl you're having twins!! It's going to be so wonderful, no matter how much you gain or how big you get!! :)
I know, I thought it was odd too. But I also knew our exact conception date because we only tried once that month. So maybe since I was adamant about the conception date she didn't think an ultrasound was necessary?? But now I just wish I would have asked for one so I wasn't so worried. It doesn't help that I'm waiting for my Harmony results too. :/Quote:

They guessed girl for sac #2/Twin A and baby is in the exact same spot.
I'm not sure. I gave them my conception date too but my doctor still only goes off last period..it's a rule. So weird. So when is your first appointment and scan then? And when will you get harmony results back?Quote:

I haven't had one yet either. I'm 10+4 now. Will have one at 12+4 in a couple of weeks. My dr was willing for a dating scan but I knocked it back because I know my dates.

The only thing giving me a hint of hope is now that I know what they judge by, I do see that my sons 8 weeks scan is the opposite of this scan. His is thicker on the right side and fades thinner on the right. So I'm hoping that them being opposite scans is a good sign.Quote:

I've lost weight too, but my belly is huge! It's my forth baby (6th pregnancy), so that factors in I'm sure, but no way can I fit in normal clothes anymore. I said goodbye to jeans ages ago. Lol! I'm still okay in yoga pants, but I bought a couple pairs of cheap plus sized ones. Will have to break down and go maternity shopping soon. I so hate it. I usually love shopping, but maternity clothes are always so ugly, IMHO. And overpriced! Like, I'm only gonna wear if for a few months... cut me a break!
Hi guys. Hope your weekends are all starting off good. Doctor brought up harmony test at my appointment this week so got my blood work done today. Excited and nervous since we thought we wouldn't find out for a few more months!

I'm not aware of any correlation with when you show or not.
We're doing our announcement tomorrow. I got the basket part finished. I still need to make the sign which will say "Two new Peeps due September 1, 2016."

Oh wow bunny I didn't know you hadn't announced yet! You are patient!!! I'm still contemplating if I should announce tomorrow or not. I'll only be 8 weeks but I'm just sooo excited.
Two- I don't think there's a correlation. My friend that has three girls has shown super quick with all of them and me with a boy showed really quick too. I'm already using a rubber band on my blue jean button hole. Haha

I would have announced around 12 weeks, but DH wouldn't let me. FIL is already having a huge fit about it and how dare we have more kids when our other kids are f'ed up and can't talk right (DS1 can't pronounce certain letter sounds so he's hard to understand; the other two are a little "slow" but still fall within the range of normal for age). Seriously, wtf?!! Who knows what else DH isn't telling me was said because I wasn't there. My stepmom is going to freak out at the announcement too. She complains because my kids all still used pacifiers at 2 and were not 100% potty trained by 2; therefore, we are shitty, lazy, incompetent parents that shouldn't have more let alone the ones we already have. Did I mention family is obnoxious? LOL
I don't care what they think one way or the other, but it upsets DH. I just can't believe some people can be so rude, asshole-ish, and judgmental.
Jesus bunny I can't imagine speaking to someone like that about something as special as a baby.
No correlation for gender for me either. I mean I showed earlier with my boy but only because it was my second pregnancy I am sure and this time I showed very early but I only had a baby a year ago so I think that's why.
We're announcing tomorrow with an adult easter egg hunt that have pieces to a "puzzle" aka a picture of our 5 year old making a copy of our little guy on the copy machine. Lol! Then we're going to incorporate the ultrasound photo...not sure how yet.
