EDD: 2/17

How many weeks today: 12w3d

Appointment plans/results: Next appointment is Thursday. We'll discuss the panorama results and get an u/s.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I felt better over the weekend, but today I'm exhausted and the nausea is back full-swing. I'm so over the stomach issues. Otherwise, just ecstatic that our results were good and we're having a boy It was fun telling family this weekend! We also picked a nursery theme, and I get to do some shopping for decorations this weekend. We're reusing J's furniture, so there's not much big stuff to buy. Except a new glider. MUST get a new glider.

Any U/S, bump pics: Not today. I took my first one on Friday, but mainly just to start doing it. 12 weeks seemed like a good starting point

Bonus GTKY: I'm old school - The Beatles

EDD: 2/15

How many weeks today: 12+5

Appointment plans/results: Checkup this afternoon. Listen for the heartbeat again.

How ya feeling: Went off Diclegis because it seemed to be working less and less. Having less all day nausea since then, but more intense vomiting. Hopefully this will end soon.

Any U/S, bump pics: nope

Bonus GTKY: I loved Dave Matthews for a long time. Still a fan, but don't follow as closely any more.

[oldbaylover1024]

Appointment plans/results: A week from today!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Feeling better! Nausea has seemed to go away for the most part (knock on wood) however, I am still incredibly exhausted. Excited for that second tri energy to get here!

Any U/S, bump pics: Will hopefully have a new ultrasound picture next week

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? Is it terrible that I haven't listened to my own music in months? I do like 80's music when I have the opportunity.

[staz]

How many weeks today: 11w4d

Appointment plans/results: Results are in with no heightened risk of chromosome disorders and..... we're team PINK!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm starting to feel much better! Plus I'm on cloud 9 now that we know what we're having (well, I know, H will find out tonight). And knowing the baby is healthy is a huge weight off my shoulders

Any U/S, bump pics: I'll have a new U/S in a few weeks.

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? My favorite will always be Phil Vassar.

[notagoddess]

EDD: February 22

How many weeks today: 11 weeks 5 days

Appointment plans/results: Friday! Scan and getting blood drawn for the Harmony test.

How ya feeling: The nausea is starting to go away! I've taken full advantage and started eating healthier and doing some light exercise. The exhaustion is still a problem. I hope that the legendary 2nd tri energy boost is a real thing.

Any U/S, bump pics: I think I'll have a bump pic soon.

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? I don't have a favorite. I have listened to music less and less as I get older. I haven't listed to something on my own in months. I enjoy 80s and 90s music though.

[nomnom]

EDD: 2/24, twins

How many weeks today: 11w3d

Appointment plans/results: 8/19 for NT scan

How ya feeling: I think nausea and fatigue are getting better. I'm not sure if it's coincidental timing or that I'm weaning off of hormone supplements. I also started my daily regimen of ranitidine to ward off acid reflux. That was the only reason I threw up last pregnancy.

Any U/S, bump pics: Still too lazy to upload a photo somewhere.

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? +1 to Phil Vassar. He puts on a great live show, too.

[staz]

nomnom, usually nobody knows who he is lol!

I've seen him live 15 times. No joke.

[nomnom]

staz MH and I have only been to two of his concerts. How could people not know who Phil Vassar is???

How many weeks today: 12w 1day

Appointment plans/results: had my first mw appt last week and things went well! We heard babys heartbeat, 160, and she said my ute feels right on track.
Next appt in 3 weeks but more importantly g/s on 9/10!!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)

I don't want to jinx it but I might be feeling better. I stayed up till 10 last night and didn't die of exhaustion. I feel mildly nauseous and that's better than usual. A week till I'm in the clear if this pregnancy goes like the last one

Any U/S, bump pics:

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer?

I love love Ed Sheeran. He's ridiculously good in concert. Also Sara Bareilles.

EDD: 2-16

How many weeks today: 12+4

Appointment plans/results: we JUST got a call from the genetic counselor- EVERYTHING CAME BACK NEGATIVE!!!!!! THE BABY IS HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I started crying I was so happy bc I've been so sad and worried.

Our next ob appt and u/s is on 8/22 and were hoping the cysts are gone. Of course I'll still worry and we don't want to tell anyone until that u/s confirms baby is still on track, etc, but I just want to shout it from the rooftops right now!

And stupid DH didn't want her to tell us what the sex was! I want to know but he wants to wait for the 14 / 20 week ultrasound. I'm sooooo annoyed but too happy to really be annoyed. We both think it's a boy, haha!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) prett good. Idk if my exhaustion is pregnancy or night shift related, my nausea comes and goes but is mostly nonexistent. Actually, lately I just feel nauseous AFTER I eat, like towards the end of my meal, so I just stop eating and take a zofran and it goes away an hour or two later. But no throwing up this past week for me!!

Any U/S, bump pics: nah, I started taking bump pics at 12 weeks, but mostly I just look like I had a large meal and didn't exercise for the past few months lol

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? Hmmmmmm idk if I an pick just one. Music - alternative / punk rock was My LYFE as a teenager but as I got older I stopped listening to it as much. Pandora has brought back my love of music but I mostly listen to 90s or 80s music station...... I'd say Taking Back Sunday or Something Corporate, if I had to choose.

[ls2012]

addymac THAT IS AMAZING!!!!!

I can't love tit this enough, I am so so so so happy for you!!! What a huge relief that must be. I have everything crossed that it's nothing but smooth sailing from here on out for you!

[EmMilAlly]

addymac wahooooo!!!!!! That is the best news ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oldbaylover1024]

addymac - YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I'm so happy for you! I have tears in my eyes!!!!!! FX the rest of your PG is smooth and boring!

[addymac]

Thank you ladies!!!!! I hope it is, too! Can't wait to confirm on the u/s but they say any other complication would be so incredibly rare, so we are just so relieved and happy 😄😊😀😁

[shawnabm1320]

addymac I wish I could like your post a million times. Gah!! That is amazing news!

[scotipino]

EDD: 2/4

How many weeks today: 14w3d

Appointment plans/results: Next appt next week- should be 2 weeks but have to go to Endo instead. I start work late on Tuesdays so always make my appt early in the morning so that I don't miss. But it gets busy with my appts and the 3 kids appts. I have run out of Tuesday's this month.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice). We told the kids what the sex is this weekend at our daughters birthday party. Did the cake reveal and they loved it. Only the birthday girl guessed right. Our boy still says he is having a baby brother, we have lots of time to work on that!

Any U/S, bump pics: Nothing new here, but if curious we got an early guess based on the angle of the dangle at the NT scan and they were correct- 3rd girl via NIPT

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? I don't have an all time favorite, I tend to listen to today's top hits. However, I can listen to Otis Redding for hours

[beachdreamer]

So happy for the good news, addymac!!!

EDD: 2/12/17

How many weeks today: 13w1d

Appointment plans/results: OB appt last Friday. She couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler (cue my panic) but said she heard plenty of movement. So she brought in the handheld u/s to reassure me. I still didn't see the heartbeat even when she pointed it out to me, but baby was definitely moving and kicking in there, just like DS did. Now we are just waiting on genetic testing results and my 24 hr urine results. Next appt is 9/1.

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) Today I feel lousy, but mostly I have been doing ok. I feel queasy if I don't eat frequently, then if I eat a normal size meal, I feel nauseated after. Still nothing awful though. I've had a little bit of dizziness off and on. I'm definitely noticing my blump is firmer so it seems to maybe be turning into a real bump. I'm just anxious to start feeling some movement in there.

Any U/S, bump pics: I really need to start taking some pics so I can see progression.

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? I don't know that I have a #1 favorite, but one of my definite top picks the last four or five years is Five Finger Death Punch.

EDD: 2/19
12w 2d

I had the first part of the genetic screening yesterday and we got to see the baby and did the finger prick. I go back for a blood draw and another u/s in September. Baby was super active! I'm jealous of all of you that know what your having already...I'm dyyyyiiingggg to know!

I go later this morning for my normal check up.

I have to call MTFM and change my appointment because I made the next one when we'll be on vacation. The pregnancy brain has been strong lately.

I'm still nauseous pretty much all the time and tired as well. No intense cravings or aversions yet.

I can't pick one favorite musician or band. I've been listening to a 90's station on Prime Music. As well as country and Sinantra or Michael Buble' station. It's a music smorgasbord.

EDD: 2/12

How many weeks today: 13+2

Appointment plans/results: Have an appt with the midwife tomorrow!!

How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
Feeling pretty good. Still tired but the nausea is pretty much totally gone. I'm craving all the sweets though which isn't helping this blump.

Any U/S, bump pics:

Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer?
Right now, Luke Bryan. Have stopped listening to his last cd since I got it last May.
