Hey!!!! So, I will be on the bus on my way to my NTS in 12 hours. Pretty sure I'm not getting any sleep tonight. I was able to find the heartbeat on the doppler on Wednesday, but haven't found it since (I have an anterior placenta, so not really a surprise). I'm so scared/anxious, but hopefully it'll be good news and I can finally start to relax a little!
I'll be back to update after the appointment, probably around 2-ish PST.

Good morning, GKU!
I will seize this early morning opportunity as I return from my visit to the porcelain gods. I had my last RE appointment on Thursday and there is a baby in my ute, measuring 2 days ahead with a fluttering heartbest of 132 bpm. I go back next Wednesday for my nurse intake at regular OB!
@led, good luck at your next appointment! @littleliverpill, hope you get some relief soon!

Good morning ladies! Can't sleep tonight so I'll post pics! Dominic is 10 weeks and is smiling and talking up a storm. It's officially been a year since I found you knowledgeable ladies and I'm still very thankful!
Good morning, all! I'm 20w2d now. Sleep has been a joke for me since the morning I got my BFP in July, so here I lie awake at 4:30 a.m. The plus side is, I get some quiet alone time to feel the little pumpkin squirming around and kicking. I've felt it on the outside a few times now, too! Take that, anterior placenta.
I had my A/S last week, and it was amazing! We invited my mom and my MIL, and they thought it was so cool with the updated technology. We told the tech we didn't want to know the sex, and she said "Ok, then neither do I! We won't even look down there." And most importantly, Baby looked great and is healthy!
Look at that cute nose!
And here is a pic of me from Sunday at 20 weeks. How is this kid already halfway done cooking?!
Aw shucks, thanks mosdub! I have never been more confident about my body as I have been since getting a bump!
@littleliverpill why thank you! Was a 32E pre-pregnancy. Now who knows! DH loves them, but the conundrum is he is now not allowed to touch them cuz they hurt
Eleanor Anna was born Monday morning at 3:28am at 37w1d. My water broke Saturday night around 5pm after questionably trickling all day. My labor was long, 12 hours of cervadil that only got me to about a half cm, two hours of natural attempts to progress, and two rounds of misoprostol only got me to 1cm, 60%, -2. It was super frustrating. The plan was one more misoprostol, the balloon, then pitocin, but the third round of misoprostol worked. It worked too well in fact. I got up to 2cm, 80%, -2 over the course of a couple hours, then horrible labor kicked in. My contractions barely were a minute apart and I jumped from 2cm to 8cm in only 45 minutes. Baby got distressed and they actually gave me medicine to try and slow my labor before finally throwing in the towel on a c-section.
Ellie has no complications and both she and I are fine. She had to get her blood sugar checked a few times but shes already graduated from that. We're having to supplement with formula until my milk comes in since I have stubby nipples that are hard for her to suck as well. But otherwise everything is perfect and we should be home by early this weekend!

I'm the same bra size as you. Pre-pregnancy, of course. When/if I need maternity bras i'm making a mental note to ask where you got yours.
I finally saw my doctor last week so I've got an update and a picture! We are team green so I named our baby "biscuit". Biscuit is measuring right on track, strong heartbeat and doctor said everything looked awesome. I had strong nausea from about 6 weeks - 12 weeks luckily no vomiting but the nausea came everyday and a lot of times lasted all day. I'm so thankful to be feeling better! I've also got insomnia, lots of acne and raging hormones. Way different pregnancy than DD but since we're team green I guess I'm over analyzing. I've got lots of time to think lol! Congrats to all the BFPs and babies, it makes my heart so happy! Praying for many more to come And I leave you with this...

Good morning! I am either 26+2 or 27+2. My OB and MFM are in disagreement about my actual due date. It is an important distinction, since the baby is either in the 25th percentile, or the 9th. My next OB appointment is Friday, and I hope they will have reached a decision because I am getting confused. Regardless of her percentile, baby girl did catch up a bit in between the last two appointments, so the MFM was pleased with that progress.
She kicks me all the time, which I love except when she is aiming for my bladder. For the first time yesterday, she spent the whole day in my ribs. She dropped back down sometime after dinner and it was instant relief, as I was able to take my first normal breath of the day.
Here is a picture of the belly from Sunday (at either 26 or 27 weeks).
And here is a picture of my girl's beautiful face that we caught on Friday! (Right eye in shadow). I think she looks like DH already.
Edit: Giant pics - you don't need to see these life-sized.
Good luck today @led - looking forward to hearing how the NTS goes
@littleliverpill I hope you are feeling better soon - you are almost there!
AFM: I am 5 weeks today. All my previous symptoms have disappeared and the only thing reminding me that I am pregnant now is slightly tender breasts. Sometimes it's hard not to let the relative lack of symptoms play mind games on me. I had my first prenatal visit which was pretty uneventful. The RN just took a detailed history, assigned me some bloodwork which I am going for today, switched my anxiety meds, and told me my first u/s will be at 18 weeks. I don't want to wish away my pregnancy but I am so impatient to see our little bean!! haha DH and I will also be looking into mid-wives this week. We have DH's two sons with us this coming weekend so we will be telling them then which I am very nervous about! I really hope that they will be as happy as we are
lots of love!! ninja-lurking always
Ray
eta: I got new prenatals and am swallowing them like a champ!! (this has been a real issue for me in the past)
Congrats on the outside baby, cnf2013 - she's beautiful!
jags8, my first thought when I saw your bump pic was, "Why does she have her face covered in the photo? She has her pic as her avatar." Because, you know, I apparently think you're Luna Lovegood.

Congratulations cnf2013!!! @led I'll be thinking positive thoughts for you today!
As for me, not too much new, I accomplished a grand total of nothing except making it into 3rd trimester this week. I'm 28+3 today, which still seems really nuts. I havent gotten much done in little mans room except add more bags of clothes from friends, this kid can never wear all he has been given. My shower is in 2 weekends too! I am debating getting my hair did this weekend to have fresh highlights, but its really not bad enough to need it. DH and I have our prenatal labour and delivery class this weekend for 4 hours, which is kinda scary. Not too sure DH knows what he's in for.
Edit because I hit enter too fast. Heres the bump from yesterday!

Not too much going on here. We announced on FB last week. MH had promised he was going to be patient with me taking pictures for the announcement, but he definitely wasn't. (Rood ) Anyway we posted this one:
and really liked it...
Then we posted this one because MH wanted a profile picture and apparently people liked this one more.
So I guess we sort of had two announcements haha. Fun fact, the second picture actually is BOTH of us holding the onesie, but since I needed to fade it out in order for the text to show up better, it kind of looks like only one person is holding it. I'm not sure if that means I have manly hands or MH has girly ones...

So we had our first ultrasound today and I guess both embies stuck because there are two babies in my ute. Other than that excitement I'm just reincarnated as the 11th Doctor with my starvation and immediate food aversion. Loving all the bumps and babies in this thread!
