Our journey through infertility, to pregnancy, with a few bumps along the way.
About Me
- Andrea
- Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
- After years of struggling with infertility we are finally parents to twins thanks to IVF#2! Learning through the difficult time of infertility, a multiples pregnancy, hospital bedrest, and a NICU stay that life is life, there is nothing you can do to control it. All you can do is try to make the best of it:)

Your baby bump is sooo cute!! I can't wait to see it grow as the twins grow bigger!!
You're so tiny! Just wait though, it will all of a sudden POP. So cute!!!!
Cuuutteee!!! Grow sprouts grow!
You look great for 14 weeks! Just watch, you'll be growing bigger much faster now. At 14 weeks I measured about 18 weeks. And by the end (at 36 weeks, 2 days) I measured 50 weeks - almost a full year! It will be interesting to see how far ahead you measure at each appt. too.
Enjoy the baby bump!
you look great :)
