Thanks for starting LadyNymeria!

How many weeks? 19w 3d

EDD? 9/23

Next Appointment? 5/12

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I'm feeling overall pretty great! I got a burst of energy Saturday and accomplished so much I feel like I had put off for the last few months.

Rants/Raves? Someone bought the mamaroo off our registry and I'm pumped

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) MH's birthday (2 days after my bday) falls on Mother's Day this year! He has requested to see a movie and no gifts. Yay! We are doing stuff with our Mom's to celebrate Mother's Day/our birthdays a couple days before

[LadyNymeria]

How many weeks? 21w5d

EDD? 9/7

Next Appointment? Monthly check-up and 1-hr glucose test on 5/23

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Tired as always, but otherwise ok for the most part. I think my ribs must be stretching though because where my ribs meet my spine has started to ache pretty badly at times the past few days. Not enjoying it.

Rants/Raves? Still loving feeling movement! Really need to get started on clearing out the room that is going to be the nursery and should probably start looking for furniture.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? I imagine we'll do something with my family for my mom and with MH's family for his mom and grandma, but nothing is actually planned yet as far as I know. I wasn't planning celebrating for me this year but I can see our moms getting me cards.

[singingsea]

How many weeks? 22w+3

EDD? September 2nd.

Next Appointment? This Thursday for my anatomy scan! I'm so excited. I haven't seen the baby since my last ultrasound at 11 weeks.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Alright. Had some indigestion issues this weekend. Certain foods are just wrecking havoc on my bowels. Thank goodness for tums.

Rants/Raves? My EDD for my chemical pregnancy is coming up on the 14th. I'm ok right now but I'm sure the feelz will come out. I'm really grateful to be pregnant but I feel sad about not having that baby. I should be ready to pop right now.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) There's a family brunch in the works. Other than that I hope I get to sleep in. We'll see if DS allows that I got my mom a card and one from DS with his handprints in it. I'll probably put an ultrasound pic in it from this Thursday's A/S. I'd like to either get her flowers or a framed picture of DS too.

How many weeks? 19+4

EDD? 9/22

Next appt? 5/26, regular on appt

Symptoms/ how are you feeling? Still just really tired. Heartburn at night, Ts are kept on my nightstand. I've been propping my head up at night bc several times last week I woke up choking on reflux stuff and my throat burned. Sorry for tmi.

Rants/raves: just super excited for my Vegas trip next week! 2 full nights of sleep! I asked the dr what I'm allowed to take for sleep bc sometimes I sleep lightly in hotels.

QOTW: Nothing planned atm. Probably just hang out at hm and get ready for the trip by doing laundry and grocery shopping. Last year I told DH that I didn't wNt to change any diapers so I'll do that again. Pretty funny, the baby pooped a TON last year. We did the same thing for him on Father's Day and DS didn't poop at all!

Next Appointment? Thursday for regular OB appointment and anatomy scan!!! singingsea we're anatomy scan buddies. If I remember correctly cbrandt1 has hers that day too.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Nausea is still here, and got sick for the first time this weekend. They offer me anti-nausea meds every time and I keep saying no because I think it'll be gone soon. I think I'll say yes this time.

Rants/Raves? Just exhausted from a cold, but excited for the AS Thursday and to tell my family in person this weekend what we are having.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? We will be visiting my Mom and family, I got her a gift to decorate her porch. H keeps asking what I want for Mother's Day, and all I can come up with is Starbucks gift cards - addicted to their green tea latte.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? I have a sinus infection that is slowly killing me.

[caz1221]

How many weeks? 19w 5d

EDD? 9/21

Next Appointment? Had one this morning - next one is 6/2

Symptoms/how are you feeling? This nausea just won't quit. It has gotten better week by week, but I expected it to be completely gone by now. At least I'm feeling pretty good otherwise.

Rants/Raves? I completed one of my biggest projects at work on Friday! The last few weeks have been a major crunch, so it's nice to be able to get back to a normal pace.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) No plans - I'll probably try to take DD to see my mom just to hang out.

[rufus426]

singingsea, Sending hugs

How many weeks? 22

EDD? 9/5/16

Next Appointment? Friday I have my monthly check-up

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Heart burn is for real.

Rants/Raves? I love feeling the baby move. DH felt it for the first time last weekend, which was pretty amazing. Last year, we found out we could never naturally conceive so it is pretty special that a year later, I am pregnant and we are feeling baby kicks

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) We will be out of state this weekend for my best friend's daughter's first birthday. We will be in the state where MIL lives, but she will be about 2 hours from us. A month ago, she was in our state about an hour from us and didn't even call, so I am refusing to drive an extra 2 hours to see her. It may sound petty, but there is a lot of background that goes with it that makes it more justified. Also pregnancy hormones. My mom is going to come over for dinner on Sunday night after we get home.

[annapunkalunka]

How many weeks? 22w 4d

EDD? 9/1

Next Appointment? 5/26 for monthly midwife appointment. Glucose test sometime between now and then.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Meh. The worst part is my back pain. Otherwise, not too much to complain about.

Rants/Raves? Physically I think my toddler is trying to kill me. She's so demanding and I struggle to keep up when I'm solo parenting all day. I totally wasn't expecting that to happen this early on. WIN for last week though, we got daycare set up for C and baby 2! I'm so excited (hugely nervous for C adjusting, but it'll be SO great afterwards!).

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) Nothing planned yet. I need to do a cute little hand made gift for the moms/grandmothers this week at some point.

Next Appointment?
5/24 for monthly appt + glucose test

Symptoms/how are you feeling?
Just a lot of back pain. I also had a lot of trouble playing flute in church yesterday. I think baby is starting to crowd my diaphragm, which is affecting my air support.

Rants/Raves?
We bought paint for the nursery. Goal is for the room to be cleaned out and painted by the end of the month.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.)
DD is spending Saturday night with my parents so DH and I are going to have a date night. Then we'll celebrate with my extended family the next day.

Thursday

I have felt more energetic the past week or so. I cleaned my house top to bottom over the weekend and we got the nursery furniture. We have one crib completely together we will probably tackle the other one this coming weekend.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.)
I always have Sunday lunch with my mother and grandmothers. MH is excited that I get to celebrate this year too.

[LadyNymeria]

[lovetruly2015]

How many weeks? 20w2d

EDD? 9/17

Next Appointment? The 15th if I remember correctly.

Symptoms/how are you feeling? Fine kinda a head case

Rants/Raves? The way im feeling movement has changed. Last week I was feeling very firm movement both by mu bladder and around my belly button this week its really only by my bladder and not as strong or as often. Im trying not to let that turn me into a total nut case but I'm right about where I was in my pregnancy with Conner when things went bad and that's definitely messing with me. I've used the doppler to listen to his heart so I have that reassurance but it's still hard to keep calm.

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? (whether for you or for your mom, grandmother, etc.) I have no idea. My mom wanted some plants for the farm so I imagine I'll go out there to give them to her at some point but other than that no idea.

Feeling pretty good! Feeling baby kick a lot.
Rants/Raves?
I got nothing this week!

QOTW: Any plans for Mother's Day? We'll go to my sisters for a brunch. That's all the plans I have for Mother's Day! Idk if DH has something planned or not!

[LadyNymeria]

lovetruly2015 - Big big hugs to you. I imagine it will be tough to not worry about everything because of your experience with Conner, but even though I'm feeling movement every day it definitely differs in location and intensity day to day. There's still a lot of room in there so depending on how baby is positioned it may be tougher to feel some movements. I realize that is really not a good thing when approaching a loss milestone, but I wanted to let you know you're not alone with movement not feeling the same all the time.

I hope baby moves back into a position where movement is more obvious so that plus your doppler can reassure you during what I imagine will be a tough time.

[lovetruly2015]

LadyNymeria, thanks. It helps that im still feeling movement and the doppler is such a relief to have at this point. I just wish it was easy to calm my mind. The brain is such a awesome and annoying thing at times.
