Hi GKU! I'm 23+2 today and not much to report. Baby is currently hiccuping into my bladder and no matter how much I use the bathroom I feel like I'm about to pee my pants. Also, I definitely look pregnant now.
Fearsy that sounds like a nightmare. I told my mom I wanted everyone to have their flu shot. Her response: "Well, I never get a flu shot. It gives me pneumonia." I called bullshit (my mom is one for the dramatic) and told her that she'd meet her granddaughter in the Spring then. My grown ass mother feeling sick after a flu shot is much better than my newborn getting the flu. Sorry, not sorry. I hope your situation works out in your favor!
Thanks. I just don't understand what the big fucking deal is. Babies DIE from pertussis and it can be prevented if people just fucking get the goddamn vaccine. I'll honestly be shocked if she chooses not to follow through, get it, and show us documentation that it's been done...but I know she'll bitch about it and make snarky comments about it the entire time. Such bullshit.
Your kid, your rules. Stick to your guns! I fought with my MIL over this too. She was all bent out of shape until she remembered that her daughter had whopping cough and it sucked. Then she went and checked medical records for her and my FIL.
I double dog dare a bitch to try and pull the "you're holding my grandbaby hostage!!" Seriously, you can see that baby whenever you want if you spend 10 minutes at CVS getting a shot.

Thank you for the reminder that I need to warn all grandparents and siblings that they need to get a flu shot this year, and whooping cough vaccine. I need to check my records for when I got my Tdap last, but I'm thinking it was last year before Belize.

SheilaTheTank, sorry for the scare but glad things are looking good!!
As for me I am almost 24 weeks and feeling great. I've been super busy getting our house ready that a lot of the baby planning stuff has been put on hold. I am heading back to Angola on Monday. I am happy to be with my husband again but not looking forward to the 14hr flight.
I hired a doula last week so I am feeling really good about that. Next step is signing up for classes my husband and I can take together in October. Also finding a photographer to do a maternity and newborn shoot. Lots of things to figure out!!
Hi! 8w5d today still feeling sick, tired and happy. H and I are on our way home to tell our parents. I am so excited I cry every time I think about telling my mom. Also this past Thursday i had my u/s and first appt, everything looks healthy. Got to hear baby's HB at a strong 171 bpm!!

Hi GKU! I'm 25 weeks now. Time is flying. Feeling good. I have pretty regular movement that I feel, which is reassuring. I had my FU AS last week and got confirmation that everything is fine with our little acrobat! I finally started registering and starting to buy things for the nursery. I'm so excited to get it settled! I have my GD test next appointment in 3 weeks, and we have our hospital your later this week.

Hi! I am 12w3d. I had my NT scan last Friday and everything looked great, and baby was measuring 3 days ahead. DH and I heard the heartbeat for the first time and it was amazing.
I am starting to feel more energetic. I even stayed up until 9 last night.

I'm 19 weeks 4 day, 20 weeks and half way there on Friday. There isn't too much exciting going on. We are probably going to look at more baby furniture this weekend. I started to transition over to some maternity clothes and people are noticing I'm pregnant. I'll post bump pics next week hopefully. I take a licensing exam for work in 3 weeks and that has been my main focus right now.
jags8, Thanks! I am proud of it, but after so long it's strange to have it be over. And I think I feel that way because I wasn't forced to do it (as in lack of supply or risk of pre term labor etc..), and had I not been pregnant I would have kept going. I just decided to do it.
But even if I wasn't pregnant I still would have been sad.

Hi all! Miss you but I love lurking on your board! I am almost 29w and not happy to be going back to work. It will be a good distraction though. My shower is in a week and a half and I'm really excited to see family I haven't seen in a while.

Hey! I'm 12w 4d and had my NT scan today. Everything was great and I had blood drawn for the Harmony test. The tech said her "educated guess" was a boy, based on the dangle. We'll see!
I'm feeling great and getting more energy each day. It's just waytoofuckinghot in Texas - 104F today. D:
Here it is waving. And here is me from an outtake of what I'll use to announce on social media this weekend.

Today I'm 4w4d. I haven't been having many symptoms. The RE's nurse called this morning with my second beta results. I was relieved that they were strong. We are scheduled for the first ultrasound around Week Eight.
Sending love to all you friends, and I'll be lurking and love titting as much as possible.

Ugh... I just mentioned having family getting flu shots to MH, and he acts like I said I wanted them to have their left arms amputated.
I'm so glad my mom was so receptive, like no problem. DH doesn't normally get flu shots, but I already shut down his whining. Now to make sure my ILs get the shots.

Well, I maybe went a little mama bear on him, and now he's seeing things my way. Though he thinks it'll be "awkward" to ask that. Maybe so. Don't curr.
Hi all! I'm a day late. I meant to check in yesterday but the day totally got away from me!
I'm 18 weeks, 5 days today. I have been feeling *slightly* less nauseated during the day, and am able to only take Zofran twice a day most days now! (baby steps!) I am suddenly feeling quite pregnant and my lower back is feeling it. I had to miss prenatal yoga this week, so that was a bummer.
Work has been busy and somewhat stressful... I have not been sleeping great, but DD & I are going on vacation with my parents next week, so hopefully I will be able to relax & get some extra sleep... that's what grammie and grandpa are there for, right?! Either way I plan to have lots of virgin pina coladas and maybe even a sip or two of rum swizzle (we are going to Bermuda).
My big news this week is I got a new car last weekend! I had my last car for 8 years, so it was 100% time for an upgrade. I am LOVING my new Rogue, all the extra space, and relishing that new car smell for however long it lasts. DD seems quite content as well, I think she has a better view being up higher and tinted windows mean no more sun in her eyes (she HATED that and would totally freak out even with window shades).
Hey everyone! I'm sorry for the lateness but this week has just been awful and very busy. I have appointments every day either for myself, DD, or both, and wake up every morning feeling like I'm going to puke out all of my internal organs. It's quite a change from the minimal symptoms I had at the beginning. I promise I read and saw all your updates and beautiful bump/baby pics. You ladies are all amazing and special and I am praying for y'all every day. Big hugs to everyone and I hope to keep seeing more BFPs.

Hey ladies.
Nothing new much here except a GD diagnosis. I'm still waiting to get a call scheduling me into a diabetes class and with a counselor so we can get a meal plan going. In the meantime, just trying to make healthy choices and eat consistent snacks throughout the day to keep my sugar level.
Otherwise, I feel fine. Baby's kicking all the time, I survived the first day of school (we've been walking in the evenings but I had to pass on tonight because I'm just pooped!), and apparently everyone at work is pregnant heh.
