MauiBliss, holy crap 15 weeks, I have been missing Tuesday check-ins over here. Congrats!
bibliothecary, You look beautiful and not at all like a whale
Fearsy, Love the bump pic with your sister, I didn't realize both of you were pregnant at the same time. Is she having a boy?
@led, Hai lady! Thank you SO much for thinking of me. How are you?
AFM: 26 weeks today. I have been feeling pretty good. The past week I have started to feel a little hormonal and sad that I feel like this pregnancy is flying by. Also starting to get anxious about labor and having a newborn. I am trying to just prepare the best I can and to stop worrying. We are team blue and have picked a name and have the nursery almost done. This whole process has just been so surreal.
I love reading all these updates and seeing all the squishes and bumps. Here is mine from today.
I've been doing pretty well. We started TTC again, so that's making me a bit more stressed/anxious than normal, but overall I'm doing well!
This is my first update! After a very rough first trimester that involved numerous meds to help me keep food and liquids down, I'm feeling much better and I'm almost 20 weeks (halfway point, boo yah!). I'm finally starting to "pop" and look pregnant. We found out last week that we're having a GIRL and the nursery planning has begun. For your viewing pleasure, here is my dog and a bit of my bump photobombing...
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
Ah! Okay I know I never respond to these because I can't figure out how to upload a picture from mobile or work (stupid firewalls)! But we are 20w5days today. This morning we had our 20 week ultrasound and got to see baby BOY! I had the Verifi test done a while back so we knew it was a boy, but those parts on the screen were unmistakable He is healthy and measuring 6 days ahead! I'm doing well, feeling good. Didn't ever really have any issues with morning sickness early on so I consider myself lucky in that respect.
On a side note...my mom passed away on May 20 this year. Some people may know that, but I'm not very active here anymore and I never announced it. So that has been extremely hard. I have been doing the best I can with the emotions, but it is a rollercoaster to say the least, bouncing back and forth between being so ecstatically happy about being pregnant, to being so sad that I can't share the moments with my mom anymore. She knew about baby from the beginning though so that is comforting.
Anyway, when I figure out this pic thing, I'll try to add one from our appointment today!

So happy you finally checked in with us!!! Glad everything is going well!
I'm really sorry to hear about your mom. I can't imagine how difficult that must be. *hugs*

Heyyyyy everybody!
Gorgeous outside baby Darcy!
Thanks for thinking of me Rama!
AFM, Cecily is 3 months old and is all giggles and smiles these days, which is good because she sleeps like total crap. Such is life. Her big brother is potty trained which is amazing because now I'm down to only wiping one butt other than my own, and he gets to start preschool in the fall!
I know you guys are all here for cutie pictures, so I'll contribute mine to the party too. I love and miss you guys, and while we are probably done making babies, I think I'll start stopping by more often to play. XOs.

I'm 30 weeks today! I can't believe how close we are getting! We went on our hospital tour this weekend and got all the feels looking at the Labor and Delivery rooms and everything. DH said it made him that much more excited just to imagine us being there in a couple more months.
This week we are finishing painting the nursery and then we finally get to move all the furniture in and hopefully finish things up by the end of August.
My next appointment is next Monday on the 21st...we are doing every other week until 35 weeks.

Nearly 18w and things are . . . not great. I've talked at length about this elsewhere, so I'll just summarize with anxiety has become uncontrollable and depressive episodes have increased and sleep issues have cropped up, so I have gone back onto Zoloft/sertraline and will start therapy this week at specialized clinic. I feel like things can only get better from here, that meds were an inevitability and that I did fine on them while pregnant with DD. But it also feels like a failure, and I feel embarrassed about it, even if I shouldn't or wouldn't ever think that about someone else.
Just trying to hang in there for now. In better news, baby boy appears to be doing well and AFP results came back negative on the screening (<1 in 5,000 chance of open neural tube defect).
jefa - I am so sorry to hear about your mom. Big hugs!
anonymouseliza - I'm sorry your struggling right now. You're not a failure. Hugs!
Hai ladies! 21 weeks and 4 days here. Lexi Bug has been starting to be more vigorous at night, and I even felt her kicking from the outside last night-though MH could not. I've been feeling pretty well other than some mild back pain and trouble getting comfortable at night. I ordered the snoogle, and it was delivered today, so hopefully that will help!
My next appt is my 1-hour glucose test on 7/29. I'm nervous about it and hope I pass. Otherwise, we've had the nursery painted and bought some wall decor and will get some of the big furniture soonish.
I'm always lurking and wishing luck to all of you beautiful GKU ladies!
Here are some AW pics of today's bump and nursery decor!
Edit to come back and make the pics less gigantic!

Congrats on your baby boy jefa, and I am so sorry for the loss of your mom. (((hugs)))
anonymouseliza, I'm sorry you are struggling, but I'm so glad to hear baby boy is doing well. (((hugs))) to you too! I have decided to stay on depression/anxiety meds this pregnancy, too, for different reasons, but I know the difficulty in making that decision. I really understand the feeling of failure...but you are not. You are doing what is best for you, your family, your baby.
AFM... I am 14w4d and not feeling great. I've been battling a bad cold, headaches, still feeling pretty nauseous (especially at night), and not sleeping well due to the heat lately. I've had a bit of hip pain too, which is unwelcome this early on. I started prenatal yoga up last night, so I hope that will help. I feel a little sore today, so I suppose that's a good sign that I needed it!
I saw my OB for the first time this pregnancy today, and other than needing to get some more vitamins in me (still nursing DD1 and was mildly anemic earlier on), everything is on track. DD2's HB was in the 150s today. I lost some weight by my scale at home, but not according to theirs, so that was good I guess. My anatomy scan will be at my next appointment in 4 weeks, and I hope DH can make it as he hasn't seen this little one yet!
No bump pic today because lazy, but it's definitely looking more bump-ish these days. Lurking and hoping for more BFPs all the time!
anonymouseliza *hugs* That's a really hard decision to make. If doing what is best for you and baby is being a failure, count me in that club come my turn. I'd be honored to stand next to you.
