How far along? 23 weeks!

How are your symptoms? Feeling good.

How is PgAL brain treating you? Baby movements are keeping PgAL brain at bay.

Next appointment/milestone? I go back 3/6 for a checkup and for my 1 hour glucose test

GTKY: Any Valentine's day plans? Hubby says he is surprising me. Not sure what we will be doing!

[flippinchica]

How far along? 14 weeks



How are your symptoms? OK, still some nausea and aversions but overall better. I'm still exhausted, though.



How is PgAL brain treating you? Not too bad. If I get anxious I pull out the doppler and that helps a lot.



Next appointment/milestone? Mostly just waiting on my Mat21 results. It will be 2 weeks on thursday since it was drawn so I'm carrying around my phone waiting for the call. Next appt is 3/2 and anatomy scan is 3/19.


GTKY: Any Valentine's day plans? I'm working out of town so nothing fun for us.

How far along? 30 weeks --- omg!

How are your symptoms? I swear pregnancy hit me like a mac-truck in the past week. Suddenly I'm exhausted all the time, move super slow, my back and lower abdomen are achey, sleep is horrible, the night-time pee sprints continue, and I've been mildly nauseated even though I'm hungry so eating has been an adventure at best. I even started wondering yesterday if I was going into labor --- I had several of the symptoms, minus contractions. I think it wasn't labor, per se, but just having a really blah day. All of that, and I still feel this urge to nest, I just have no energy to really do it!!!

ON a side note related to GD, I haven't been able to get my fasting glucose #s down to a range my OB would like so I just got a message from my OB that he's starting me on insulin. I was resistant (ha! pun intended) to the idea at first but after another week of frustration that I couldn't influence my #s much with diet+exercise, I'm totally on board with the insulin plan now. Just hoping it works!

How is PgAL brain treating you? With frequent baby movement, PgAL brain has kept its distance for the most part.

Next appointment/milestone? I see my OB at 32w, which is about 2w from now. I feel like I'm in a race against time, though, dealing with GD, so I've got my eyes on 37w before I can feel comfortable that something won't suddenly go sideways on me.

GTKY: Any Valentine's day plans? Eh, we kinda suck at Valentine's Day. This year I think we're going to stay in, build Lego sets and/or play some Lego games on XBox (the only video game I have any patience for or enjoy at all, so MH loves it when I agree to play) and make our favorite dinner.

How far along? manada and I are 10 weeks.



How are your symptoms?
Nausea has increased, but I've started taking Diclectin and that is helping. I also am trying to make sure that I eat at least every couple of hours. Every time I go more than 2 hours without eating (other than overnight), I feel like I'm going to die.


How is PgAL brain treating you? I was starting to get worried about our next ultrasound tomorrow, but last night manada found the heartbeat for the first time with doppler. That helped a lot and was so cool.


Next appointment/milestone? First doppler heartbeat was last night! That feels like a milestone. And then we have our next ultrasound tomorrow. (We're with an RE so we get ultrasounds every 2 weeks through the N/T at 12 weeks.)


GTKY: Any Valentine's day plans? Neither Manada nor I are fans of Valentine's Day. And M's birthday is on the 13th. So I think we'll focus on M's birthday this weekend. Maybe I'll convince her to watch a rom com with me on Saturday (perhaps "Imagine Me and You" which is the gif featured in my signature)
