Upcoming appointments this week?
acupuncture on Wednesday, see MFM for another ultrasound next week


Any new symptoms or changes?
Just feeling really fat and bloated.


Rants/Raves/Questions?
 I finally caught the cold DH and DS have been passing back and forth. It's making me pretty miserable.


QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? My mom and I usually take a big trip every year. I'm a little scared to plan anything while pregnant given my history and my ute still looking funky on ultrasound. I'd love to do a family trip with DS before the new baby gets here, but we'll see. My mom suggested we just go to the Jersey Shore this summer - which sounds terrible. How hard do you think it would be to travel to Bermuda with a newborn?


@katerli, just went to the Big Island of Hawaii in July. It was awesome! What island are you looking at?

[MissSally]

How far along are you? 15 weeks!

How big is baby? Eclaire

Upcoming appointments this week? Thursday! And maybe an ultrasound to find out the sex! woo!!

Any new symptoms or changes? Nothing really. Just a growing bump!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I've had a never-ending cold for three weeks that just turned into a terrible cough. Haven't been able to sleep AT ALL, and every time I cough it makes my round-ligament pains flare up really badly. Boo.

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? H and I are thinking about going to Disney in March! I'm really hoping it happens. I'm contacting our travel agent this week so she can get us an itinerary and quote for the trip.

I scored these cute little rainbow outfits for my rainbow baby over the weekend at the baby Gap outlet!

AmazingTulip we are thinking Maui. I want something beachfront as I am going to have 2 4-6month old babies plus dd who will be 7 years old.

We stayed at the Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel on the big island. It was ocean front for about $250/night. 
I would definitely recommend it if you switch islands. 

[JustJudy]

eameselephant, small world! Neither of us have been and we're excited to explore. And we're staying in a castle for three days at the end of the trip. A lifelong dream of mine.

@katerli, Maui is my family's favorite island! We always rent a condo near Kaanapali and have the best time.

[easilyunamused]

JustJudy, I'm so jealous. I want to visit Ireland so bad.

@katerli, have fun in Maui. Even though I lived in Hawaii for 5 years, I never made it there

@amazingtulip, Bermuda with a newborn might be do able. I have friends who are taking their 3 month old to New Zealand this month! I lived on the BI for 4 years. Hapuna was my favorite beach by far!

eameselephant, that's awesome that your heading to Ireland as well! Try not to stress too much about the brown spotting.

MissSally, those rainbow outfits are so cute!

Is that where you are? We are desperate to move back, but it's a waiting game with jobs.

How big is baby? Lime

Upcoming appointments this week? None, but should get back our blood work from our Quest Diagnostic test...I am impatiently waiting!

Any new symptoms or changes? I am having more better days than bad days so that is a plus but still a lot of nausea

Rants/Raves/Questions? good for now.

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? We are planning a Hawaii trip for March. Definitely going to Aulani as we are taking the 2 year old and may also see Kauai but not sure we will have the funds to cover both.

[xxjen015]

How big is baby? Lime!!

Upcoming appointments this week? Yep! N/T scan on Wednesday. Both of our moms are coming, too

Any new symptoms or changes? I have a killer headache today. I napped for 2.5 hours, used our essential oil diffuser the whole time with head ease.... Nothing.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Is anyone else having trouble getting in protein? Most sounds so unappealing to me.

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? We're planning on going to Montana and Calgary at the end of May, beginning of June while my SIL is out there for PA school rotations. Also planning on Chicago in October for H to run the 40th anniversary Chicago Marathon. That will be fun with an infant. And my in-laws want to go to the food and wine festival at Disney in November.

[MissSally]

xxjen015 I don't get any protein... my OB didn't seem terribly concerned, as the baby is still pretty small and taking whatever it needs from me. I can't stand the thought of meat. I can tolerate some cheeses every few days, but mostly I eat fruit and carbs.

How big is baby? And army man

Upcoming appointments this week? Regular OB appointment on Thursday

Any new symptoms or changes? I definitely have a bump/blump going. Really hoping I get more energy in 2nd tri.

Rants/Raves/Questions?

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? We're going to Florida in October with my family to celebrate my mom's retirement. The trip was originally supposed to be in June, but got switched because my OB won't let me travel then.

[JustJudy]

xxjen015 I'm having trouble eating much of anything. I feel your pain! Half a gluten free bagel with peanut butter is my go to right now. Not great, but it's something.

[morwen]

xxjen015, meat sounds unappealing right now to me too. I remember this lasting until about 15 weeks for me last time. I try for cheese and yogurt for some protein.

How big is baby?
Prune

Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope

Any new symptoms or changes?
No, just sick off and on. That's gradually improving as long as I eat CONSTANTLY. Blech.

Rants/Raves/Questions?
It's snowed here more than we've had in years, and I love it. But we only have one good snow vehicle, so I'm trapped at home all day with ds while dh is at work. Hard on a Preggo lady who needs a variety of food constantly! It's really hard keeping stuff to eat on the house that will keep me from getting sick. Plus, restless!

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one?
Not with this lo on the way. Even if we had the money, gotta save up the dh's vacation days so he can have some time off with us when baby arrives.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Not this week

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? My ILs were discussing a family vacation for the end of August. Not sure if we should sit this one out with a 1 month old.

How big is baby? An apricot

Upcoming appointments this week? Yup! I have an ultrasound and regular OB appointment on Thursday.

Any new symptoms or changes? Still exhausted. My appetite is back, which is good, but I am hungry all the freaking time now.

Rants/Raves/Questions? My maternity leave is only eligible to be paid for one week when the school year starts. However, I can take 12 weeks of leave unpaid beginning when school starts at the end of August. Decisions decisions.

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? No, I wish though. We will go to a family member's beach house for memorial day weekend but that's about it.

Any new symptoms or changes? Nausea is much better. Headaches have started though. Blah.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm starting to be uncomfortable at night. It's so weird.
QOTW: Sadly no vacations planned in the near future. We are tentatively planning our 10 year anniversary trip back to Hawaii, but that won't be for another 5.5 years...boo! I'm hoping we can get a weekend getaway this spring.

Upcoming appointments this week? nope, not until 15 weeks

Any new symptoms or changes? oh the hormones - crying for silly reasons is definitely in full swing. Also started to get a bit of acid reflux, and still some minor nausea but mostly just aversions now (meat sounds terribly unappealing, all I want is yogurt and fruit, and bagels with cream cheese)

Rants/Raves/Questions? nope

QOTW: Does anyone have any vacations coming up, or planning one? No, although some of your vacation plans sound amazing. We don't tend to take vacations much.
