MaggieMay - thanks. I have thought about buying a BellaBand but, I didn't know if it would just be too big. I'll have to see if they come in different sizes. I'm usually a 0 or a 2P and often those have to be pulled in a bit in the waist. I don't want to go out and drop a ton of money on pants in a bigger size that I'll just wear for a month or so, so the BellaBand is worth checking out for sure!
I have been rigging some of my pants with an elastic but, most of my pants for work have a hook and eye so it's a little difficult to work with!

Ok Im ready, here I am!!
Hey guys, Ok Im ready to join you all!
Im feeling much better today after my disappearing twin scare. Im going to think nothing but positive thoughts for my little bean! AND Im going to take it VERY easy for the next couple of weeks. I have already cancelled several appointments that I had. Im in Real Estate, so luckily I am able to do that. I have my next ultrasound appointment on Monday at 8:30, so Im going to be ready!! So many of you helped me get through the day and I cant tell you how much it has helped!! The nurse called back with my labs and she said that everything looked great. She said that she talked again to my RE and she thinks that maybe it was harder to focus on the little heartbeat because the other sac was taking up room. She also said that my ovaries were still huge. Sounds to me like my little baby is just squshed! Stupid RE, everyone saw that heartbeat. I cant help it if she cant count, right?? Boston-I bought a belly band and its amazing. I bought mine at the cheap maternity store. I think it was $18.00. Im 5'1 and am a size 0-2. It fit fine! It is made of lycra so it streches as you get bigger. I have these adorable cropped shorts that I was so mad that didnt fit. Now I just leave the entire thing "undone" and cover it with the belly band. A longer than usual shirt, and "viola" fashionista! RobandIrina-How did your 2nd ultrasound go? How about the visit with your mom? MaybeBaby-Add me to the list!! EDD Jan 15!! ![]()

Guess I'll bite the bullet too! I don't have an "official" due date anymore... if it was a single baby then I would have been Jan. 14th (according to the RE). Put me down for whatever!
Havana - So glad you're feeling a little more reassured over there. Monday will feel much calmer. You'll have your questions ready, your usual u/s tech will be there, and the baby will be posing! So glad to be back home! No more traveling for a while for me and the twins. Another new symptom to add to the list... I think it's my sciatic nerve acting up. I've never had back issues before. Feels like a sharp pain when you bend over almost as though something is out of alignment. Anyone else got this fun one yet?

Hey guys. Well, I haven't had the u/s yet, but think I'll slowly creep over here. Different websites tells me either EDD Jan 17th or 18th. Just waiting waiting for the u/s next Monday and meeting with the RE.
Oh and I usually have sciatic problems on my left side, but have been having pains in the other cheek after walking a few miles throughout the day. No nausea yet? kind of wish I did a little, just sore boobs and a round tummy. People are definately looking at me sideways at work despite my attempts to hide it.

It's great to see so many of you wonderful ladies over here now!!!
I have been feeling terrible..nauseous all day. I just ordered some preggie pops and some crystallized ginger from Morning Sickness Help - Information and Remedies . Boy, I really hope they help! Havana, I'm happy to hear that you're feeling better about everything now. I just know that your next u/s will be a better experience!!
