peaseblossom55, I don't want to sound like a creeper, but, could you send me a PM of some of the places you're looking at? Cape may might be on our list of places for mini vacay/baby moon too, but I've never been beyond WW for shore towns.
heybulldog56, I hope everything is ok with your pup and meds and/or diet changes can fix whatever is wrong! It's so frightening when they can't tell us what's wrong
Afm, I'm getting ready to go for my 2nd MW appt. these last 4 weeks have simultaneously flew and dragged. I'm nervous because of how good I feel. Everything says at 11 weeks I should be feeling the height of my MS and first tri woes, but they're all but completely gone. I am unreasonably nervous that they won't be able to find a HB with the Doppler.
Heyyyy just returned from the NT scan and retrieving DS from the grandparents. Initial results look good! Gremlin was bouncing all around, way more than DS ever did for any of his ultrasounds. Figure in its game of hide-and-go-seek at my last belly check and I'm thinking this one will give me a run for my money!

jrun2013 so I was able to go in to the United Healthcare website and search within their multitude of plans vs just my current plan type. It does show him based on the plan type of the three-tiered options and puts him at Tier 1 which I'm assuming correlates with the Gold tier here so I think I'm in the clear. There at other OBs at the women's hospital where I'll deliver covered under the tiered approach plan. I won't know for sure until open enrollment and I can actually research the new plans but I do still plan to have the insurance office at the hospital to look into DH's coverage too, just in case.
Sorry for hijacking the thread ladies. If I wasn't mobile and knew how to share a picture, I would upload lots of goodies for you all
I had a big, fat, buffalo chicken sandwich for lunch. i'm so full and so sleepy that i canNOT motivate myself to work.
AAAAAHHHH now I want a buffalo chicken wrap from Buffalo Wild Wings. And I don't have a car at work.
I don't feel good. I mean, in an "I ate way too much, way too fast" kind of way. Probably should not have polished off the who spinach dip appetizer...

You can keep the buffalo chicken it does not sound appealing but chicken never has. I've hit a wall and am just purely exhausted. I need a mid day nap.
pibblemom, good luck at your appointment & PM sent

peaseblossom55, yes! A midday nap sounds glorious. I need to work for one of those "forward" companies that appreciate their employees so much that they give them cool perks like nap rooms.
rinny that has totally been a fear of mine about appointments. Last pregnancy I would always get a call or text the day before confirming my appointment. I haven't received any this time around and I always second guess myself!
meeggaannw , At least your DD has been happy in the crib! I hope she isn't super cranky the rest of the day.
Today has been a good day around here! After breakfast DD and I went to Starbucks so I could get a coffee, then we went to the toddler playground for a bit. We also went to our first story time of the summer and it was really fun! The library also had a train table, so we stayed and played there for a bit afterwards. It was only a ten minute drive home, but she fell asleep in the car. Luckily I was able to successfully transfer her to the crib. Now I'm just relaxing and planning on taking a nap soon.
Have a great day everyone!
How do you do the mythical carseat-crib transfer? Tell me your ways lol! Usually the instant I turn the car off DD wakes up, nevermind trying to unbuckle her, carry her into the house and put lay her back down. You've got skills!
Just got out of my OB appointment. HB was strong at 161. Forgot I had to do a Pap Smear. That shit hurrrt. And I got supplies for testing my sugars. OB agreed with me that attempting the test again was stupid.

Oh, I totally got a notification via email. And I checked the portal. Nope, today still stuck in my mind.
So it's a satellite location and they are only there one day a week. I SWEAR it is normally Tuesdays, but apparently it's Thursday this week.

Don't hate me, but my kid likes to nap! Sleeping through the night is a different story though.

I've learned to heavily rely on the appointments I make in the Ovia app. I use it more than my phone calendar. But luckily, my midwife's office has a text alert the day or two before your appointment which is great.
Omg guys! In my excitement I forgot the most important. We had been telling our parents for a while now that we would announce after the scan. While waiting for my blood to be drawn I texted them all an ultrasound picture and updated them that everything looked good so far and I was waiting for the blood draw. My mother, who frequently eats crackers for me, immediately texted back "can I post now?". Not good news, awesome, or congratulations but can I post? Slow your roll attention whore! Have we actually announced yet? No. I'm still at the hospital and not your news to post. It was pretty typical behavior from her and it just drives me batty.

This is my MIL lol!
She's so excited and wants to tell the whole family. I told her I wanted to wait till 2nd tri, but todays appt went well, so I told her "I'll have H call grandma tonight" because I knew she wanted to tell her, but it is really his news to share. Luckily, she's not so antsy about Facebook, just the ENTIRE family. She asked if she could tell aunts and uncles tomorrow at a family gathering, and I agreed to that. We won't be there, and most of them we won't see unless there is a wedding or funeral between now and baby's birth.
At todays appt it took a LONG time to find baby's HB. Cue nervousness. She did a pelvic exam and said my ute was tipped slightly back still so that could be why, then had me make fists and put them under my hips to elevate myself a bit. That worked and she found it quickly and I got to listen to that beautiful sound. HB sounded great at 152, everything else seemed fine and they drew blood for the Harmony testing, so that was a relief. I've opted not to do the NT scan, so next US won't be until the AS I guess.

Here I am again with bad news. I am so sorry for being such a downer lately. The news from the vet wasn't good. Her heart is the issue. She was there all day getting antibiotics and fluids. She has been sent home for 24 hours. We will meet with the vet again Thursday morning to deternine whether the antibiotics have helped her/improved her quality of life or not. I am heartbroken. I know the answer. She isn't eating, she seems so tired, and miserable. Poor thing doesn't want to move from her bed. I have been crying all afternoon. I could use a lot of hair pats and hugs. Thanks for listening (reading).
Here is a Pet Quality of Life scale I wish I had when my first dog was suffering from diabetes and CHF. I would have saved her a week of suffering if I had it then. I hope you don't need it:

Thanks for the link silvermelody. That's actually really helpful. It's only confirming what I suspect is coming but it's oddly helping me accept the decision I will probably be making in a few days. If that makes any sense.
