QOTW: Summer is here! How are you dealing with the heat?

I guess I go here now!

I am 5wks today! I have been incredibly anxious about my first ultrasound. Basically because the nurse who gave my second BETA said "We'd like the second draw to have been closer to 50, but a 40 is okay". She said just enough to make me worry. I went from a 23 on 11/12 dpo to a 40 13/14 dpo and no third draw. So I'm not really sure what to think.

I have had some cramping off and on, and some mild nausea. I am so afraid to go to the ultrasound and nothing be found. I haven't had any spotting or anything concerning, but I read the progesterone can keep any signs of loss away.

I am super excited to finally be pregnant, and Julie is so so so excited. I am just worried if being a let down.

Additionally, waaaaay more people know that I originally wanted to know, but it became pretty apparent at my family reunion this weekend.

We are 32 weeks with #2. Team Green.

Next midwife appt is Monday. I think M found a midwife she connects with finally at this practice. I haven't been able to go to the last few appts but if she is comfortable that's what matters to me. Now just to hope that she's on call when we go into labor!

M isn't sleeping well even when O is now. I feel bad for her but don't really know what to do to help. It feels like everything is moving much faster this time around. I can't imagine parents on the third or fourth kiddo! We did order the furniture and it might be here in time. Our rocker also broke last week so we ordered another one. This one reclines and I think we are really going to like that feature if #2 is anything like O.

Hey all, we're at 14 weeks, will be 15 tomorrow. Wow this is going quickly.
Currently awaiting lab results for genetic testing which will tell us the sex - we made a pretty solid compromise on finding out. I was team green all the way, but I've been convinced

K has been having some pretty bad headaches the past week, staying in a dark cool room a lot of the time. Otherwise, she's been a trouper even though she's very bad with discomfort, haha. We're trucking along.

We're both bad at heat, so lots of time in the cool dark basement and a few trips to the pool
