~*~GRAD WEEKLY CHECK-IN~*~

[risscaboobs]

We all need a little sunshine today; so, come on, ladies!!! Show us those adorable bumps and babies!!

[mrsrexmanning]

Good morning GKU!

I'm sitting here at 34w4d and I feel like a geriatric walrus. Slow, large, and with hair in awkward places. Apparently I also make really attractive noises while I sleep. The good news is that the snow here is melting, the days are getting longer, and April is just around the corner!
And now for the bump. There is a lot of it, so enjoy.

Rooting for you guys so hard! I miss you all!

Hey there! I'm 22w6d and trucking along!

I have a doctor's appointment this afternoon, just a basic check up. Symptom wise I haven't been sleeping well and have been having some skin itching issues. I realized that my Diclegis had antihistamine in it and since I'm not taking it anymore I think that may be the culprit. I took a Benadryl last night and I'm feeling much better today. The more you know. I pee a lot. Like a lot. Baby E is getting more active, I saw my belly twitch from a kick last week. Coolest (and weirdest) thing ever! She always keeps me guessing. I'm really excited for Viability day next week. I love reaching milestones. One more month until 3rd tri, which is kind of freaking me out a bit. Haha.

I'm always rooting for and lurking you guys! Much love you to all!

Here's my bump from today. This dress is pleated so it makes me feel a bit lumpy.

Hi guise! I'm 14w5d. I'm feeling pretty good right now, other than the twatwafflery that is daylight savings time screwing with my sleep cycle. I'm a little sad that I don't have a bump yet, but I suppose it's coming! I go in for my next appointment Thursday, which should be my last one before the anatomy scan.

Last week I visited my friend in Phoenix who has 1 year old triplets. It was fun to play with her kids, but multiples are a lot of work. I'm so glad I'm only having one baby right now! I got some good swag from my friend, including the exact infant car seat I wanted. It's nice to check that off the list of things to buy.

Hello everyone! I'm 12 weeks today! I can see the light at the end of this first trimester tunnel! I bought a bella band last week and it has been Da Bomb! I love this thing. I have like half of my clothes still fitting me and the other half not fitting at all so it's nice not having to button my pants every now and then.

Thursday is my NT Scan and I'm so anxious about that getting here. I feel like it has been forever since my last ultrasound and I'm super impatient so this has been a difficult wait. I'm just glad I'm within the week of that. I'll have my results reviewed with me the following week and then I have another scan shortly after that one.

Cruising into week 13 on Thursday with not much changing. Heading to the OB tonight for my 12 week appointment and at some point over the next 5 days we will be finding out if we're having a boy, girl, or vampire. Hopefully next Tuesday I'll have an update.

Hope everyone is staying warm and fingers crossed for more BFPs!

[thelittleredm]

Hiya ladies! Little A is almost 3 weeks old and we are still working on some sort of routine. She is quite feisty and fussy so we started giving her the paci so I don't have a child permanently attached to my boob. My husband and MIL also decided this was a perfect time to potty train DD1, so we've had that going on as well. I appreciate the help, but the timing has been less than stellar. She is doing well except for poop. I'm really hoping that part clicks soon. REALLY HOPING.

I'm always rooting for you ladies, and love seeing all the grad updates! mrsrexmanning your bump is fabulous! You're all baby!

Congratulations! I haven't been around much lately and missed that you had your baby! Good luck with the potty training. Maybe DD1 will enjoy the extra attention after baby girls arrival.

AFM, my little man is now 7 months old. Its insane how fast time is flying. We're still dealing with milk protein intolerance and had an unplanned dairy challenge last week. That didn't go well so we're still on the dairy free train. He also seems to react to eggs so that's out now too. Between my wheat intolerance and his dairy and egg issues my H started calling me the wheat light meat eating vegan.

Other than that he's awesome and I'm thankful most of this is temporary. . I love everyone's bumps!

Fearsy, congrats on the baby girl!

Hi everyone,

25 weeks today and feeling pretty great. Have my next regular OB appointment on Thursday and will probably have my glucose test then. After a few horrible weeks of ultrasounds, biopsies, and waiting after finding a breast lump, the breast surgeons office finally called today and told me the biopsy results came out fine. Only wants to follow up in 6-8 weeks. So I'm so relieved and thankful to be able to focus all my energy on this LO.

Miss you all and hope to see many more BFPs!

[Rama]

holliberry28 Hooray for the good news!

Hey all!! The thread seems a little quiet today! More babies and bumps please!!

I'm 12 weeks, and so looking forward to the end of the first trimester. I think my nausea is easing up and I only tend to feel really gross around 4 pm or so as opposed to every second of every day. I haven't even taken a Maxeran or Zofran in about two days!! Today I went out to Buy Buy Baby and Babies R Us and talked to them about registries and walked away with giant bags of samples and coupons, it was so fun!!

My belly also really started to round out! It doesn't look like much but I had a very flat stomach before so this is a huge change to me! I've decided whether bloat of bump I'm embracing it and have full on moved into maternity clothes and I can't believe I waited until I was pregnant to buy maternity jeans. They are probably one of the greatest inventions of all time.

Hey Everyone!

A little late today...

I'm 13w 6d today. Starting to feel much better! I had an appointment today and it turned out pretty eventful. Due to not being able to find the heartbeat at first my doctor decided she wanted me to get an early U/S, I went to another office where they had a portable U/S machine and I got to see my little squish. He/She was dancing around like crazy and was doing great.

Always lurking and rooting for all of you!

[MrsC0617]

mrsrexmanning, love tit for your adorable bump but also that fabulous shower!!! I'm so jealous!

Hiiii everyone! I'm 7w1d today. I had an ultrasound last Thur but it was a waste of time. The crazy tech yelled at me for scheduling my u/s so early. Umm, I didn't? I called my ob, said I had a positive test, and they told me to come in for an u/s that day. Not my fault, lady! Sooo, after scrambling for work coverage, I was less than thrilled to see nothing on my u/s. But I did get set up with the nurse, got a script for blood work, and scheduled my first dr appointment and next u/s.

After worrying that I have yet to have morning sickness, it hit me for the first time on Sun and has been sticking around most of the day since. Brushing my teeth has become my morning challenge. But anything for a healthy LO!

I'm a dirty lurker and here daily because I miss you all. Fx for moar BFPs!

Haiiiiii everyone!

I'm 14 weeks today! I had the absolute worst miscarriage dream last night, woke up in tears, and couldn't shake it. I called my midwife and asked to be seen and MH left work so he could be with me.

Because of my anterior placenta, it took forever to find the heartbeat. My midwife said all of the wooshing was all of the blood flow around my placenta and we even got to hear some movement sounds, as well as the heartbeat, of course. I'm so glad I called and went in. I'm actually starting to think now that this might be our rainbow baby and it's so unreal to me.

Also, last week I had called to get the results of our Harmony test. There was a mix up or something and they said it would be another 5-10 days. I was pretty bummed but they ended up calling me back with the results the next day. I'm very low risk for the genetic abnormalities that were tested - 1 in 10,000 so that was a huge relief. Baby Fearsy is also a girl! I almost can't even believe that we're able to talk about girl names and think about what the nursery will look like.

I've been lurking like crazy and want to see MOAR BFPs!

YAY!! Congratulations on the baby girl, @fearsy!!

I just want to say that I sorely miss your poetic additions to GKU.

+1!

Who am I kidding? +1000!

[icequeen]

Hi ladies, y'all look fabulous and your updates always bring a smile to my face. Continued prayers positive thoughts your way!

[sunfrogger88]

Hi GKU!!

I may have disappeared for a while but while I was gone.... BFP!!! And I didn't want to do a drive by because, rude, so I wanted to squee in here with you. ?

It's SO weird knowing I have a little nugget inside of me. With a heartbeat!! 5w5d.

End of squee.
