Appointment plans/results: September 9 (ho-hum)
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice)
I'm actually not feeling too nauseous! Which makes me a little nervous. Also feeling kind of bloated and having a hard time remembering to try to suck in my blump. I've discovered that water makes me the most nauseous - so I've been trying to drink sparkling water with a bit of cranberry juice to get my daily water intake up.
Any U/S, bump pics: saving my blump for HDBD (whenever we start doing that regularly )
Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer?
I like singer/song writer types and blue grassy music. I currently am loving The Wailin' Jennies, Gillian Welch, Rosie Thomas, and the Weepies. I used to love Death Cab for Cutie, but I think I've outgrown them

How many weeks today: 12
Appointment plans/results: I waited to update until today... first appointment was today and everything went fantastic! I love my midwife so much. We got to see Lil Bit and confirm that yes, there's only one in there. I was glad to see the u/s because we couldn't find the heartbeat on the doppler. I'll get my order for blood work and get to go in to do that here soon.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I'm somehow not as nauseated the last two days. Knocking on allll the wood!
Any U/S, bump pics: I have them, but too lazy at the moment to upload at post.
Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? Idk...

EDD: 2/5
How many weeks today: 14w4d
Appointment plans/results: I had an appointment on Tuesday. Baby was doing great. Heart rate was 152.
How ya feeling: (Symptoms, cravings, rants, raves, baby names, interesting articles, good buys, other advice) I thought my energy was returning but today was rough. My daughter woke up at 5:30 and I couldn't stay awake! Thank God for Daniel Tiger! I've been craving chili cheese hot dogs and tater tots. Maybe I'll make that happen tomorrow.
Any U/S, bump pics: none this week.
Bonus GTKY: Who is your favorite band/artist/singer? We've gotten away from listening to country but I don't know any of the names of the pop singers/bands that we listen to now on the radio. Also been listening to christian music lately in the car.

I'm pretty exhausted. Haven't been sleeping well. Don't have much of an appetite. I've actually lost a bit of weight. (I'm only up 2.5lbs this whole pregnancy.) Acid reflux has been kicking my ass, which may or may not be contributing to my lack of appetite. My boobs are ENORMOUS and sore. Otherwise, all is well.
As an aside, DH and I are planning on announcing publicly in the next week or two. I know most people have probably announced by now. We've just had a lot going on and haven't been ready.
I spoke to my brother (that I'm estranged from) two days ago. Told him I'm pregnant. And he spent an hour and a half trying to convince me that I should use this baby and this pregnancy as a way of mending fences with my mother and her family (that I'm also estranged from). It was actually a very good conversation because somewhere in my mind I had secretly been entertaining the same idea. So I got to basically play devil's advocate against myself. And I realized that if there is no reason to believe that any of their toxic behavior is going to change, then why should I repeat toxic relationship patterns? That won't be good for my baby, my marriage, or my emotional health. Towards the end of our conversation, he said that he didn't know if he could ever have a relationship with me if I didn't have one with my mother. And I told him that I was sorry he felt that way, that was totally his decision, and I'll still love him and wish him well regardless. It was heavy.
Any U/S, bump pics: Not yet. The bump is there though.

I'm really into 90s/00s Alternative Rock....so maybe Lifehouse? I really do like a bit of everything though.

Ugh, loves2shop4shoes, you're going through a lot this week. All the creepy internet {{hugs}} to you. I'm glad it was a good conversation with your brother, but do what's right for you - that's what's most important in the end.
And I'm super glad the test came back negative for CF

EDD - 2/22/17
How far along - 12w2d
Symptoms - still spotting and cramping from the cervical polyp... I think I'll be dealing with that the whole pregnancy ... Nausea if I eat too much and just overall exhaustion. I've had more headaches than usual too. I remember going through this w DS1.
Appts - had my 12 week today. We declined the genetic testing but still got an ultrasound to see how baby is doing. Everything looks great - measuring 12w5d and HB was 168.
Pics - super grainy but my little thumb sucker!
GTKY - I don't really have a favorite artist... I'm kind of all over the place with genres and what not.
