[PiradicalMaid]

@ismellbooks, did I miss that we're EDD twins or is my pregnancy brain so bad already that I just entirely forgot? Either way, I have an appointment on Friday too! Is yours your NT scan?

buttercup, some full panel comes in a light beige, so that might blend better. I agree with heartbot's assessment. Last time I bought mostly full panel and then they got itchy and annoying so I only wanted to wear under the belly. I know some of my full panels did ok being folded over. I think I'm going to get full panel leggings, just because I don't believe they'll stay up otherwise. I'm thinking about buying another pair of jeans and I'll probably get those under the belly again because I just think it's comfier.

I am also looking forward to being able to eay, graybaby! Although I have some good moments here and there. Also, love LOTR!!

GL tomorrow, graysweater!

Ahhhh, I love Neverending Story and Dark Crystal, wowcheezits! Movies of my childhood

Do you have a link or a picture of the shirt you ordered, Courtniko? Just curious because I think they're cute

[PiradicalMaid]

Week/Size fruit: 10w5d, kumquat

Appointments: NT scan on Friday

Symptoms: I've got a serious blump! Nausea/vomiting are coming and going. My boobs hurt all the time and I swear they grow a little every day.

Rants and raves: Just tired of being sick. i've been fighting this icky cold/flu for over a week and I'm over it. Luckily I'm starting to feel better.

GTKY:
NBR - Favourite movie(s) of all time? I like so many movies, but Serenity is my all time favorite. I just love movies in general!

BR - Have you been documenting your pregnancy in any way? Tell us about it. Not really :/ I took one official belly picture (snuck it into our engagement session) and then a few selfie style ones that I've texted to the dads. Other than that... nope.

[PiradicalMaid]

GL tomorrow, gooselover2012! Also, LOVE The Game. So good.

[quietjoy]

gooselover2012, I did have my confirmation appointment and a dating ultrasound. So I've at least done that much. My OB practice is pretty easy to get appointments with, so I am lucky with that. (Now watch that statement bite me in the butt)

[wittyandwaiting]

Happy Monday!!!

Week/Size fruit: 13 weeks today! Either a peach or a kiwi, depending on which app or book you look at.

Appointments: none this week. Actually, no more this month.

Symptoms: puke. All the puke. All. The. Time. Also huge boobs and mega tired.

Rants and raves: I am weaning off of progesterone suppositories right now! I'm really looking forward to a suppository free life.

GTKY:
NBR - Favourite movie(s) of all time? I really like American History X, Mean Girls and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

BR - Have you been documenting your pregnancy in any way? Tell us about it. I've been taking some notes in a notebook and bump/blump photos once in a while, I'm not quite sure what I plan on doing with any of it yet but maybe I'll try to put together something fun.

[shananagins]

Week/Size fruit: 9w1d

Appointments: Monday is my first OB appointment. I have an enormous packet for them from my RE!

Symptoms: Heartburn and bloat. And I nearly threw up three times today (once in the morning, twice while working out).

Rants and raves: Starting to cringe every time we're doing my nightly PIO shots. Relieved I get to stop that on Saturday!

GTKY:
NBR - Favourite movie(s) of all time? Shawshank Redemption, Road to Perdition, Pirates of the Caribbean, and all things Pixar!

BR - Have you been documenting your pregnancy in any way? Tell us about it. I keep notes on everything. No photos so far (I gained so much darn weight on back to back IVF cycles that I'm not exactly itching to take my picture right now...) My mom actually just admitted to keeping a journal of our IVF journey to give to our little guy someday. I read it and was a complete teary eyed mess.

[creamcheese17]

Late as usual. Happy Tuesday!!!

Week/Size fruit: 9w3d green olives

Appointments: Friday last appt with RE

Symptoms: ugh! Nothing but fatigue everything else has faded away.

Rants and raves: hiding the blump is starting to become difficult!

GTKY:
NBR - Favourite movie(s) of all time? All of the Fast and the furious series.

[Courtniko]

PiradicalMaid, this is the shirt we got. It was not my favorite, but most of the big sister shirts started in 2T, which would have been way too big on DD. I thought about a cute one from Etsy, but did not want to spend too much.

[PiradicalMaid]

That's super cute, Courtniko! Thanks for posting

[steveo]

gooselover2012, my advice to people is -- don't go into it thinking positive / negative. Those tests cannot BE positive, they can only give probabilities. So as long as you understand that, you can properly put any higher probability results into context.

Week/Size fruit: 10w5d

Appointments: Pre-check for CVS yesterday (baby was looking great, measuring 2 days ahead and super active), CVS scheduled for Friday morning.

Symptoms: Still nauseous -- had improved before the weekend, but was awful over the weekend. Headaches, exhaustion. I'm ready for first tri to be over.

Rants and raves: Haven't been around here much. I have to get through the CVS and the results before I can really feel totally mentally engaged with this pregnancy. I have so much fear right now. One good piece of news was that the baby looked totally normal yesterday -- with DS2, he had a cystic hygroma at 11w6d that gave him a nuchal measurement of 4.9mm (normal is below 2 or 2.5, our first signal that something was wrong). It doesn't look like this baby has that, which is hugely comforting already. Though I can't get my hopes up until I know for sure. My OB told me she is going to be optimistic enough for both of us, until we get results.

GTKY:
NBR - Favourite movie(s) of all time? So many. The three I've watched the most are Breakfast Club, Dirty Dancing and Romeo and Juliet (Leo & Claire version), but there are many others I've loved.

BR - Have you been documenting your pregnancy in any way? Tell us about it. Not at all. Hopefully once we have some answers I will. I think finding out the sex early next week will help too.
