Yep, MH travelled to an active transmission region last month for work, so we are on condoms all the time too. I don't think they will test either of us because he had no signs of exposure (no bites that he knows of) but better safe than sorry..... As if we didn't have enough to worry about!
Exactly! We have a wedding to go to in Austin Texas in may. I just plan to use a lot of bug spray if needed while I'm there. I don't think it's an active transmission area, but it's a potential risk area.
Coming from a Texas resident, I wouldn't stress too much about Austin in May. That's not full on mosquito season yet, and it's not very humid there so (compared to other areas of Texas) mosquitoes don't ever get that bad. Definitely some precautionary bug spray though!

You can have all of mine!!! I'm also a 34GG (I went to a 34K last pregnancy) and I'm a size 8 so buying clothes is next to impossible. As soon as we're done having kids and breastfeeding I'm getting reduced to like a C. I can't wait. I wish I could just donate my boobs.
Funny enough, my mom just got a boob job two years ago because she was a AA cup. Like how are we even related?SaveSave
Lol as soon as we are done having kids and breastfeeding I am seriously considering implants. Maybe we can team up!
My mom has never been happier with hers, she said they're such a huge confidence boost. Just like I can't find shirts that fit my boobs, she could never find any that fit her lack of boobs, so I totally understand that both extremes come with such difficulties. Plus she doesn't have to wear a bra and her boobs look amazing. That's the dream.SaveSave
@wicky, I wasn't planning to do any of the genetic testing except for the cystic fibrosis. It was going to cost me more to just find out about the CF than to do the whole panel of chromosomal tests. It was just an added bonus to find out the sex. Otherwise, I would have waited for the anatomy scan.
Day 3 of a migraine. I have taken the max of Tylenol each day without relief and now I am vomiting with it. I'm just waiting on a call back from my OB to see if I can get any relief.

Happy St. Patricks Day! FFFC - I've eaten 2 green krispy kreme donuts & am seriously considering a third. They are amazing.
mambo, - I can't wait to see Beauty and the Beast. I love that movie.
salmon2017, - weird, I was just watching Big Little Lies & one of the characters was wearing a white (possibly linen) dress that I loved & now I want one also. Let me know if you find one you like. Also, weighing in on the bikini vs maternity suit topic from last week's randoms. I am planning to rock my bikini for our vacation in May. I'll be 26ish weeks. I may also pick up a tankini from Target because I like having at least two to rotate between. We spend almost everyday all day at the beach.

I've wanted a reduction since I was in my early 20's! I went as far as to get approval/documentation from my PCP and met with a plastic surgeon but didn't get approved through insurance despite being a size 2 at the time (decidedly not that size anymore). I plan to get it done in the future too even if I'm paying fully out of pocket and I seriously can't wait for that day.
@wicky I'm feeling the same way. I want to know which list of names to narrow down and what paint colors to pick out. I know I have time, but six weeks feels like forever right now!
+1
I'm so anxious to find out and still have 6 weeks as well!

Happy St. Patrick's Day ladies!!!
Today is my birthday and it's funny how much less exciting they get the older you get. But MH did make me a homemade banana bread bottom cheesecake so I'm excited for that!

That is ridiculous! Maybe because I'm not a doctor but I don't see how testing for one specific thing is more expensive than testing for all the things.
It had something to do with the insurance. I was shocked too because I didn't want all the testing.

DH is at work. We have my sister's family here. They have 4 boys and I love when they come. Seriously, the kids all play together and have a blast. Ahh cousins. I wish I would have had so many cousins my age, but alas I didn't. Any hues fun times here. I better think about making some lunch for everyone. Kind of leaning towards Mac and cheese and hot dogs....

I'm having a little bit of a downer day. I can hardly tell I'm pregnant - I don't look it or feel it. I look like a ate a few extra burrito's, lol. I KNOW I should feel lucky I've had almost no symptoms, but it just makes me more nervous. Today I'm back DOWN weight, having gained only 4 pounds total. Again, that should make me happy but in all honestly, it worries me. I hate waiting on ultraounds. I'm an overthinker and now I'm just wondering what's wrong. I had great results on the Harmony test, but still...I just want reassurance. I have a fetal doppler and that's brought me reassurance she's still in there with a beating heart.
I'm also super frustrated with people at work today and am making this am having a glass of wine tonight at dinner (I limit to once a week, but dammit, i need it)
greenball, I felt that way last week and then I had more symptoms flood me and I feel like I have "popped" in the last 2 days. You will likely start seeing a bump soon (unless this is your first pregnancy). Hugs!

Thanks! It is my first, so I'm sure that's why I feel so little. I just compare myself to others who are at the same week and I feel like "Um, hello? Baby girl? You ok in there??"

This board is full of STM+ so you really shouldn't compare your belly size with us. I'm really just now developing a bump and I'm 12.5 weeks along. I'm carrying high though. I only say that bc I can still wear my normal pants. With my first I was well into the 2nd tri before I developed a noticeable bump.

greenball jumping on the "it's ok" bandwagon. I can't see your siggy, so not sure how far along you are. But I can say that with my first my bump didn't pop out till almost 20 weeks! I find early second trimester tough because a lot of symptoms are gone, but you can't feel movement yet. No worries, time will fly!

I haven't been this pregnant (16w) since dd's pregnancy. I'm so happy to have made it this far and am 98% sure I'm feeling daily movement. Next scan is Monday and it can't get here fast enough!

So, along with the good news at my First Tri screen, I also found out I have an anterior placenta. I know it's not a big deal at all in the long run, but I've been so looking forward to feeling movement, and now I'm bummed that it might be a while, and that it might be hard to feel throughout this pregnancy.
