EDD: 2/15
How many weeks today: 8 + 5
First appointment plans/results: First appointment last Thursday. Nothing exciting, just scheduled for sonogram next Monday. I can't wait!
How ya feeling: Crappy with non stop nausea. Dr. prescribed Unisom B6, but I can't keep my eyes open taking it. Gonna call back and ask for Diclegis since that worked last time. She scoffed at my request and suggested Zofran, but I'd rather just stick with Diclegis. Hopefully it won't be a problem.
Any U/S, bump pics: not yet.
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I dreamed I gave birth to a full size baby already at 8 weeks and was like Well what do I do now? Nobody at work even knew I was pregnant! I didn't get my leave paperwork done! I guess I need to get my pump out...
Also one featuring Harrison Ford. I never really had a thing for him, but he apparently had one for me... and it was Huge.

EDD - 2/22/17
How many weeks? - 7w5d
First appt plans/results - had our first ultrasound/appt last week Thursday and Friday. Everything looks great and LO's heartbeat was 144.
How ya feeling? - on and off nausea all the time and super tired. I started spotting lightly and cramping last week Wednesday and it's been very sporadic ever since. I mentioned it during my appt but everything looked okay so I was told just to keep an eye on it. Oh yea, my gums are sooooo swollen!!
GTKY - none that l can recall!! I've had a lot of insomnia lately.

How many weeks today: 7w4d
First appointment plans/results: I had another scan today and a nice strong heartbeat of 159! I also got to see the spine and the beginning of arms and legs. I am in love with my little peanut.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice). The little peanut is kicking my butt. I was given diclegis last week and I am in love with those pills. I am still nauseated and wiped out all the time, but I am not puking anymore which is awesome.
Any U/S, bump pics: I do but you really can't see all that much.
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I dreamt I was in marching band and we were loading up the buses but I didn't have my uniform or clarinet and it didn't bother me. My main focus was having a supersize order of McDonalds French fries for the trip. The night before was a dream including nachos.
EDD: 2/8 How many weeks today: 9+5 Appointment plans/results: first appt was 3 weeks ago; I go again next week How ya feeling: thankful that diclegis is working a little better. Still getting waves of nausea throughout the day, especially in the evening. So tired. I've been going to bed early, sleeping a little later, and napping.
No pics
GTKY: last night I had the weirdest dream. I dreamed I had a dream but I didn't know if the dream was real or not. And it was some kind of scary dream that I didn't know if it was true or not.

EDD: Feb 22
How many weeks today: 7 weeks 5 days
First appointment plans/results: Nothing for a while. Paperwork appointment with the OB nurse on July 27.
How ya feeling: Pregnancy has been kicking my butt! I'm trying to get back to healthy habits so I'll have a little more energy (said right after snacking on chips and chocolate... sigh). I'm planning on going to yoga class tonight for the first time since my BFP.
Any U/S, bump pics: I'm bloated enough to look pregnant. Can't wait for the actual bump though.
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? Yes. TMI: I'm having a ton of vivid sex dreams.

First appointment plans/results: This Thursday is our first appointment! My AL brain is going nuts, but I'm excited regardless. Our two mmcs were discovered at first appointments. T&Ps would be great!

Any U/S, bump pics: Hopefully Thursday I'll have an u/s to share next week.
Bonus GTKY: I've had some pretty vivid sex dreams lately. And I'm not really complaining.

Appts/ Results: First appt is next week Monday, but I found the heartbeat with our doppler today!!
Symptoms/etc: Nausea comes and goes, breasts are always sore, and exhausted! So tired.
U/S pics/ bump pics: nope
QOTW/ GTKY: I was having really graphically gorey nightmares last week. I can't remember details (I frankly don't want to), but I was both the victim and perpetrator and ended up covered in blood. So unnerving.

EDD:2/12
How many weeks today: 9+ 1
First appointment plans/results: next appt. 7/26
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Worn out, nausea is fading though so that's nice.
Any U/S, bump pics: nothing to see, which means there's also no way to explain why my pants and dresses are tight.
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? All the weird dreams. Mostly with friends from middle/high school that I haven't seen in at least 10 years. I can't ever remember them all the way either. I kind of forgot about pregnancy dreams.

EDD: 2/5
How many weeks today: 10w+1d
First appointment plans/results: I have my intake appointment with my midwife tomorrow so blood work and lots of paperwork.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) the exhaustion is letting up but I still took an almost 3 hour nap with my daughter today. We're telling my mom and sister this weekend when we go to Houston to see Wicked. I'm really excited.
Any U/S, bump pics: none yet
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I'm a childbirth educator and a birth assistant and I dreamed that all of my students went into labor at the same time. It was crazy.
First appointment plans/results: Thursday! Will have ultrasound then, as my MFM is my main for my pregnancies at this point.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Crappy? Not nauseated.. this symptom happened with my twins as well. I get oversensitive to polyurethane. We had to sort out what the heck was happening last time around because I was so much better every time we left home. We isolated me room to room for a day and sorted out that it was our Sumo chairs and the really nice soft comfy polyurethane pillows. It's cropped back up this time.. so all windows are open during the day and we're taking an evening walk.. lots of park time for the twins, etc. Oh.. and exhausted.. I love my kiddos.. I hate being pregnant ><
Any U/S, bump pics: .. I should take bump pictures for future reference.. but I don't like how I look right now. I just look like I'm back tracking on all the work from losing the twins weight
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I thought it was because I was getting extra sleep with being out of work.. but you guys reminded me that the vivid weird unexplainable dreams are probably from the pregnancy. Yuck!
Good luck to all the ladies with appointments this week!
EDD: 2/24
How many weeks today: 7w3d
First appointment plans/results: Thursday!!
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Not terrible. Tired, a little nauseous, heartburn..
Any U/S, bump pics: No but I will next week hopefully!
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? Yes! The most recent I dreamt that DH's company was moving us to Atlanta & I was due any day. I was so sad.

EDD: 2/12/17
How many weeks today: 9w1d
First appointment plans/results: 1st OB appointment is this Wednesday
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Physically I'm doing mostly alright. I pee a lot, I'm tired, and I have some sore boobs. That's it so I'm taking that as a positive. Mentally I am stressing a bit because I started spotting Friday, stopped Saturday, and then it came back yesterday. There's no cramping and it's not getting worse so I'm trying to hold out for my appt Wednesday when I already will be seeing the doctor. (Doesn't help that H started a new job so that means new insurance today, which I don't have the info for yet)
Any U/S, bump pics:
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I have had a few strange ones but I can't remember specifics at this point. A lot have been sex related and involved random faces from the past (not necessarily boyfriends just faces I haven't seen in years), but I always wake up to pee before the good stuff.

First appointment plans/results: had our dating u/s today, they said since I was within 4 days of what my Edd should be, they're going to leave it as that. Except I know for a fact I'm at least 4 days behind what they think. But, whatever. Least of my concerns right now.
**possible trigger*
We got some not so great news. There's a cyst on the umbilical cord. From what we were told, I need to have the fetal dna blood test which will help determine whether or not there's actually something wrong or just a first trimester cyst that will go away. Usually it's indicative of a trisomy. I'm devastated. The dr said its probably nothing but I can't help but think worst case scenario. We're both in the medical field and just can't right now. DH was asking real questions like what is the increased risk now- the dr said something like 1.2, which DH explained is something like for example, let's say for T21 you have a 1/1000 risk, now with the cyst it had be 1/820 or something. Idk. We have a lot of research to do tonight. And calling my dr tomorrow to schedule the blood tests. Until then. I'll probably just cry all night. We were going to tell my parents tonight, but now I'm not saying anything to anyone until we find our the blood test results bc I can't.
Has anyone gone through this or heard about it?
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice): aside from my devastation and crying, I'm nauseous as all heck. B6 isn't doing anything anymore, I have nonstop heinous headaches, and I dry heave so often I have broken blood vessels splattered across my face.
Any U/S, bump pics: I honestly can't even be excited for today's pictures.
Bonus GTKY: Had any weird dreams lately? I sleep like shit, so I don't think I am even asleep long enough for good dot weird dreams.

First appointment plans/results: Met with my family doctor today and had a good chat with him. Will have my first OB appt in a months time. Not too much to report yet
How ya feeling: Physically, just tired. I'm starting to get excited about this pregnancy, where as before it felt like I was still processing everything. So I feel good about that!
Bonus GTKY: YES! Weird and vivid sex dreams. Happened last time too, such a weird symptom!
Huge hugs, addymac. I'm so sorry you're going through this, it sounds extremely stressful. I hope it's nothing.
How long does it take to get the blood tests back? You'll be in my thoughts.
Thanks, everyone. I've had time to process and do some more research. Even though I still break down in tears when we start talking about it, I am also just feeling like ... Well ok... Can't change anything if something is wrong, so why cry and freak out. Just wait and see. Easier said than done, so I'll just cry and panic and scold myself and feel detached and stop trying to feel too invested.
Plus side, research (which there is very little of) says that majority of cord cysts disappear by the second trimester and nothing is wrong with the baby. So we are just crossing our fingers it's a random benign cyst and it will go away on its on.
I'll call my dr tomorrow to schedule the cell free fetal dna blood test, but some places were saying they don't do it Til 10 weeks but the dr we saw today said we could get it done at 9 weeks. So, we will see what my ob says. And we read it could be ready in as little as 7 days. I assume it's a send out test, so i bet it'll take at least a week but who knows.
Thanks for your t&ps. Just trying to not panic so much and not think worst case scenarios right now. So hard
