Good morning all! Today marks 17 weeks for me! Time is flying. I'm just starting to truly pop. It looks different at all times of day though (usually biggest when I first wake and my bladder is full). I finally am getting more energy, which is great, because my house has been a mess. Oh and apparently it's not too early for Braxton Hicks, so that had been a weird experience!
And here is the "is she eating too much junk food or is there a baby in there" bump:
Constantly lurking and love-titting over here! Love seeing all those BFPs!
I'm 9w6d and am FINALLY going to get my follow up u/s to check growth and then see the perinatologist today. Ahhh! I've been up since 2a being anxious and terrified and everything else, but right now I'm feeling relatively calm and hopeful about it. Blake wasn't able to be there with me so the lovely and amazing Rama is coming with me so I won't be alone. Hopefully it all goes well.
Hey GKU. I'm 12w4d and really don't have anything exciting to share.
Morning sickness is coming and going. It's definitely lightening up which makes me nervous. My gums have started to bleed a little bit when I brush my teeth. I'm having wild dreams.
I'm absolutely FREAKING OUT about telling work. Then I'm freaking out about whether I'm going to go back to work or stay home. Money will be tight either way (paying for daycare v.s. not working). So that stress has been fun (not).
My next appointment isn't for 15 days...not that I'm counting.
MH thinks I'm starting to show. I think he's seeing a bloaty belly and not a baby belly.
EDIT because I clicked too soon:
MH also told a person (or three) at church that we're expecting and forgot to mention that it's a secret. I'm irrationally sad because I feel like I've lost my 'announcement' surprise? But he's just so excited and it's his baby too...
Anyway, lots of love. I'm always lurking and lting all the things. Hope to see more BFPs!

@led crossing everything for you! Glad Rama can go with you for support! Keep us updated (hugs)
I am 25+3 today, which is ridiculous to my brain. I've been debating when to leave work, but I'm going to have to wait til December to decide until I see if the placenta has moved at all. The room is starting to get a bit more put together, we need to paint soon so I'll be picking that up this weekend. We've been passed along a serious amount of clothes from friends, I'll have to do some pretty intense sorting when all the boxes finally get to my house. Feeling ok for the most part, my back sort of always hurts how, which is no fun. Little man is moving tons, I swear he kicked my cervix the other day, what a weird feeling! Sunday I was dressed up for a memorial, but I looked good so I snapped my weekly pic.

Hey GKU! I'm 36 weeks today and actually took a rare bump pic. Feeling huge. Found out yesterday that baby is still breech, so it's looking like a scheduled c-section is going to be the way this stubborn baby makes it's debut. This means that it's eviction notice will be at least a week before my EDD, so my short countdown shrunk!! I'm excited and terrified all at the same time!!

whatsit - do you have an outside baby yet??!! I know you still have a few days to go but I'm so excited for you!!!!
@led I know you know feeling all the feels for you today!! I know you don't believe in this sort of thing but 30 8th graders said a prayer for Mme. Ray's friend this morning. I thought it was cute and really thoughtful of them (I had mentioned last week that I was excited for you)

@led sending good vibes your way and hoping for a great update later!!
ldubhawksfan you look awesome! You will have a squishy baby so soon!
29 weeks and 4 days here! I can't believe how close I'm getting. If this little girl comes on the same schedule as her sister, she'll be here in just over 9 weeks! It's making me equal parts super excited and in complete freak out mode!
The good news is overall I'm feeling much better and am totally in nesting mode -- which I really didn't experience much at all with my first and it was only at the very end. So I've been purging and baking and trying to get on a good cleaning/laundry/meal planning schedule.
I'm still dealing with some nausea and SPD issues/pain, but it has improved a lot. Mostly just "normal" pregnancy aches and pains and exhaustion at this point. It all feels manageable.
My next appointment is Thursday. I go every 2 weeks now and have scheduled all my appointments through the end of year because of work. I think baby girl may have turned this weekend, because her movements definitely changed over the last week or so. Funny because I know DD1 was head down and ready to go from ~30 weeks on too.
Here's an above the bump view while I wait at the eye doctor:
And here's a mischievous but cute toddler who is working on her 2-year-molars, I think, but has otherwise been a sweetheart and sleeping great lately! (Mama thanks her!):
Love seeing everyone's updates and lurking always for BFPs!

I am typing this from a shower closet as I pump on my second day of work. It's literally a closet off of the public bathroom that has a shower in it. I found it on my first day and decided that would work for pumping so I don't have to make a scene about needing somewhere to pump. It's roomy enough but it's super awkward when people are peeing and I can hear them but they don't know I'm here so I try to be super quiet. I feel like a creep...
My biggest update is that I'm back to work at my brand new job. I love it but already hate my bosses because they are super insensitive and rude AF. I'm just biting my tongue.
Allison is doing so well, sleep regression is a bitch and she's throwing parties til 2am most nights this week but I love her to pieces so it's ok. Hey! Monkey! You're my best friend...I'm so milk drunk right now...

Big hugs and lots of good vibes sent your way, @led!
Hey! E is 3.5 months. She is just a joy. Sleep regression has sucked, but she makes up for it in smiles and giggles. She has discovered her voice this past week and has been sharing so many stories (and shrieks!) with us. It's loud, but adorable. My little chatterbox.
Tomorrow marks the 1 year anniversary of my positive beta draw after 3 days of "this could be it". Here's the pic I made this morning to post on FB and IG tomorrow. For those of you I'm friends with you get a sneak peak! Lucky you!

I'm thinking of you today, @led!! Rama, you are the best!
Knock, knock! Can I come in?
Last week at 8dp5dt, I went in for betas early because I'm impatient my husband was leaving town on business, and learned I'm KTFU! My baseline beta was 345, followed by 664 two days later, and the third was 1538! I don't go in for any further appointments for another 2 weeks, but we'll be doing an ultrasound and hopefully I get to bring my cap and gown to graduate from the RE to a regular OB.

36w2d here. I have a growth scan Thursday morning and a regular appointment -- we're doing weekly appointments now! And now begins the scary time for me because my doctor is going to be out of the office for the first couple of weeks of November But I really like the facility and everyone is obviously very competent at their jobs. We did our L&D class/tour Saturday so now I can get my bag together (eep) and start the waiting process. I'm pretty sure she's head down and starting to head in that direction.
I'm really trying to make it through the 17th. EDD is 11/22. I'm not horrifically uncomfortable at this point so I'm okay with waiting. I have a Veterans Day performance and an orchestra contest to get through lol. I don't want to put that on my sub. She's totally qualified but that's asking her to go way above and beyond! Hashtag music teacher problems haha.
I keep getting compliments on my appearance. I've lost weight in my face and arms and it really shows. I'm fine with that. Better than getting pity faces and "But how are you feeling?" I hate that shit.
Glad to see so many doing well! And congrats, madamewaffles! And GOOD LUCK @led!!!!

Hey GKU....almost 35 weeks here.
H just went back to Angola after a 10 day visit. It was great having him here but I am exhausted. We had so much to do in such a short time but I'm glad we got a lot done.
I'm feeling good most of the time with the exception of some horrible swelling. Apparently I am one of the lucky ones who who has extreme water retention. I had high blood pressure at my appointment last week so now I am monitoring it at home. No high readings since thing so I think it was a fluke.
We did our maternity photo shoot while H was in town and I am so happy with how they turned out. I'm going to AW one of my favorites!!
