Hi friends! I'm 11 weeks today! As you may remember, I had my first U/S last Tuesday which was absolutely amazing. Well I had my follow-up appointment on Friday with my OB, and she said everything looked great! I also got to hear the heartbeat for the first time which was so neat! My OB is moving up my EDD by two days based on the U/S, even though I know the exact day I ovulated. Oh well, I'm still telling everyone April 5th anyway.
We scheduled my A/S as well, which will be Nov 11th! Counting down the days til we can see our peanut again. And we now have less than 2 months to decide if we want to find out the sex (but I don't think I do).

HAI GKU!
I've had a busy last few weeks and have not updated here in a while, but I now have an outside baby!
Baby Olivia was born Sept 3 at 721pm weighing 8lbs 14oz, 21 inches long and we are so in love. Delivery went very good and happened fast, I went from being 5cm at 6pm to delivering her at 721. She is such a good baby and I can't stop staring at this little human we created.
As always I am rooting for all your bfps!
Now I'm going to AW a few pictures of Olivia for your enjoyment.
Olivia 1 Day old
And a few more from the last few weeks just because.
Fearsy I was thinking of you yesterday and wondering how you were doing.
As for me.... 18+4 right now. Feeling ok, had a busy weekend which left me with super sore hips, but I'm feeling better now. My A/s is next thursday, I'm getting all the feels, mostly nerves. I need to calm myself a little bit, the anxiety is a bit rough today. Its making me touchy about things people say to me and interpreting things worse than they are intended. Sunday I had a friends baby shower and this is from right after, I look a little ragged but I had been hosting. My mother was grilling me then about my own shower, which may be why my nerves are a little frayed.

I can't remember the last time I made an update, it has been a few weeks....anyways I'm 39 weeks today. I had an appointment this morning and my doctor started checking my cervix at 37 weeks and I'm still the same two weeks later. There are no signs of progressing towards going into labor anytime soon.
Other than that I'm still feeling ok, just uncomfortable and anxious because I want this baby here!
My next appointment is next Monday which is the day before my due date. Hopefully there will be some changes then.
This is me at 17 weeks compared to two weeks ago at 37 weeks:

TTC #1 starting July 2013, RE last 2014 First Angel baby lost July 11, 2014 IUI #1 with injections successful: EDD 11/24/15 Rainbow baby DD born 11/14/15 TTC#2 October 2016 Second Angel baby lost Jan 5, 2017
She's starting to babble a lot more & not only can she mimic sounds, she's now mimicking movements. If I stick my tongue out at her, she'll do it back! She can almost roll from back to belly & is about 95% there. She's eating 5oz every 3 hours & is sleeping 5-6 hour stretches at night (normally). She's discovered her hands & is always chewing on them. She can easily track things with her eyes, responds to her name & is starting to reach for & grasp things. She hates tummy time but LOVES her swing! She's growing up so fast & we couldn't possibly love her more!
Hi GKU!! I will be 14 w on Thursday. End of first Tri!!! Woooo! I am feeling much better. Still no real bump to speak of, but we did get all our results back from our 12 w scan and Panorama blood test. Everything looks heathy. Here is the team announcement we sent to friends and family (so excited!!!):
AFM, just trucking along at 30+4 here. Had my first 2-week appt yesterday and got my flu shot. Not much else going on right now, just waiting for November.
Love seeing the BFPs and hope to see some more soon! Rooting for all of you ladies!

Hai! I'm just sittin pretty at 17w4d. I feel pretty good. I had an episode of ute pressure/tingling/lightning crotch for about 36 hours over the weekend. My mom and OB nurse line thought it was a UTI, so one trip to urgent care later... no UTI. It has since dissipated and I've chalked it up to little wiggler being camped on my bladder over the weekend. But other than that, I'm feeling great. I'm ready to have a real bump and to quit feeling/looking bloated.

I have an outside baby! Eloise Julia was born September 11 at 6:07 am at 41w1d. She is 19.5 in long and weighed 7lb 11oz. We did opt for an induction - when I got to the hospital the plan was to start Cervadil, but I'd dilated on my own from a 1 to a 3 cm since my appointment the day before. So we went straight to pitocin and about 8 hours later she was born.
She had a really bad tongue tie that luckily we got clipped on Saturday - it was impacting her ability to nurse. Other than that she's kind of perfect and a really good baby - she is already back at birth weight and we are adjusting to her night time schedule.

All these babies just make me want mine here even more! 40w yesterday, I've got nothing going on that would point to labor but baby is low and in a good position so at least I've got that going for me.
Here's my torpedo belly (as H calls it) from yesterday:
Hi GKU. I feel like it's super early for an update, but... don't care. Updating anyway.
I had my 'first' appointment last Thursday. It pretty much consisted of me peeing in a cup so they could test and tell me that I wasn't delusional and am in fact pregnant. (Spoiler: I already knew this because I may or may not have peed on several sticks plus a digital since my first test )
My REAL 'first' appointment is not until October 7th. I was told there most likely won't be an ultrasound because I'm not considered high risk or have any known issues. So even though I'm sad that I probably won't get a sneak peek, I'm grateful to not need it?
Anyway I lurk alllllll the time and love tit lots.

Hello GKU!! I am 28w5d and still feeling good. I have been getting uncomfortable at night but nothing too serious to complain about. I love how much baby boy is moving. I find myself just sitting and watching my belly bounce all around.
I have one more week left in Angola and am experiencing a lot of anxiety over leaving. I don't like being separated from H but this is how it has to be. I will feel better about being in the U.S. though as I have fears of some crazy medical thing happening while I'm still here.
I'm still lurking this board regularly and always on the lookout for BFPs!!

Hi GKU!! B will be 16 weeks on Thursday! He is laughing and smiling, making noises and is so stinking cute!
He is sleeping 8pm-4/5am and then will go back to sleep until we need to leave for the day around 7ish. He also goes down each night without a hassle, so we really can't complain! He is a big eater and is over 15lbs already! He is doing amazing at daycare - they all love him, I can see him gaining new skills everyday and he seems happy! I'm always lurking and rooting for you ladies!
I am 14 weeks today and into second trimester!! It all seems like a dream every day. I've had like 5 ultrasounds and all looks good, plus we got our blood test results back and baby is healthy and growing on track!!
Also, we found out we are team PINK!! I am so excited for everything still to come! We announced at work this week and reaction has been so supportive. I will try to take a pic later, but I am really still just chubby right now, as my rolls rearrange themselves.
So great to see so many beautiful outside babies and amazing bumps here!

In an effort to (hopefully?) cheer you up a little, I will share with you that when I see your avatar, which is so cute, I am reminded of this:

how are you 30 weeks already!!!!!
lol i was literally just about to say the exact same thing
I am 23 weeks and change. I have not been feeling great (combo of increased nausea again, exhaustion, RLP, hip/back pain, etc.), but I am making due, and MH is a great support and huge help with our crazy, active, busy toddler. Her two favorite things right now are climbing EVERYTHING and showing us how she can take off her diaper... yes, even the cloth with snaps!
Work has not been going well. Things are very stressful and that is weighing on my mind a lot. I'm not sure what the ultimate outcome will be, but it's definitely affecting how I feel. I'm also nervous about how I'm going to get from here until due date (or at least Christmas, when I planned to start mat. leave) with everything on my plate, and what I'll need to be doing from home on my leave when that time comes. I know I won't be able to 100% check out for 3 months by any means, so I already feel some guilt about that... both about having the baby and being away from the store, but also about not being 100% focused on my baby during that time. I'm just trying to believe that everything will work out, but I have a lot of complicated feels right now.
Here's the bump (that apparently already inspires people to ask when I'll be delivering...uh not for about 4 months, thank you....)
Love seeing the recent BFPs and new faces on this check-in, and hoping for many more of you to join us here soon!!

Dominic is now a week and 2 days old and uses me as his own personal mattress but hey if it gets me snuggles and sleep I'm not complaining. His first week home we've gone to lunch twice and this weekend he'll go to his first football game for his big brother.
As soon as he is awake brothers come running to talk to him.

IDK! It freaking flies by! Sometimes I'm like, man... 9.5 weeks to go. Then I remember how fast these 30 weeks have gone, and I start to hyperventilate haha.

Hi lovely ladies.
I'm 9w4d. We had our first u/s last Thursday, and the little gummy bear moved his or her limbs a couple times for us. It was hard to fathom that he or she was only the size of a raspberry. He looked like a little Miyazaki cartoon figure on the screen.
I am feeling pretty good overall. I have moments of nausea and heartburn, but they have mostly gone away now. I can sleep like nobody's business. I get my Panorama blood test on Monday but will have to wait a while for those results. My toddler started preschool three days a week and keeps me running, so I sometimes forget I'm pregnant. Except I must have a snack in hand at all times.
I'm always lurking hard and love titting when I have time. You ladies are the best.
