[quote=Anonymous]Hey, all!  Wow, lots of good updates and tips lately--thanks to you all!  Pregnant Chicken is so hilarious, my sides hurt from laughing.  The writer of Alphamom has her own blog at amalah.com, and she's just as funny over there.  That's more about her family life, but still worth reading.

afield, welcome!  I hope your wife's feeling well at this point, and the pregnancy goes smoothly.  My best friend had twins almost six years ago, and delivered vaginally.  They came quite early, but were/are healthy, and they received great care.  I think vaginal delivery vs. C-section with twins really depends on the individual factors involved: fetal positioning, doctor's expertise/skill, personal preference, etc.  I can't remember if folks have recommended one of the local parents of multiples clubs (Montgomery and Fairfax counties both have them), but they're well worth checking out.  The MoCo one has amazing semiannual sales, so you can get some good gear, clothes, etc. there.

We just got back from our NT scan, and all looks well with little Pip!  I'm going to follow up with my insurance company to see if they have a preference for which lab we use for M21, but we're really glad and relieved with the results.

jindc, thanks for your ice cream tips!  I really should just go to a good place and get a scoop when I'm having a craving, but that never seems to happen.  We bought an ice cream maker during my first pregnancy because I was craving tart frozen yogurt so much.  I made it with greek yogurt and it was delicious.  But, yeah, I see how being a gourmet ice cream maker could become a dangerous (if awesome) skill.

I've been considering the end of the first tri to be the end of 13 weeks, just to be conservative.  I'll be 13 weeks Sunday, so in the second tri April 21.  I wish there was some consistency; it was so weird to me during my first pregnancy how there were so many different methods of counting.  I would love to get together and meet up!  Maybe end of April or May, once Pumpkin is back?

Have fun with all your barre and yoga classes!  I'm going to try to resume yoga in the next week or so.  I have about six more classes on my pass at the studio I go to to use before June, so I'm going to do that and then switch to prenatal.  I figure the regular, non-heated flow classes will be fine for now (though how I miss my hot yoga).

Pumpkin--sending healing thoughts your way!!  Being sick while pregnant is just the pits.  A friend labeled her son patient zero after he took out his entire daycare classroom with a stomach bug/fever.  I'll be thinking of you.

Happy Friday, all!
