@led - 30 weeks?!? Wow! So excited for you you're getting so close!
Congrats on the BFP daisycat !!
LOVE that shirt housecarder !!
Congrats again on the outside baby @pugsandwine !!

AFM, I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow! Not much has happened in the past week except my stomach now hates coffee (even 1 single sip ) and I told my boss the news. Work took it very well and already agreed to my request to work from home a day a week after my leave ends. Now that work knows I'll be posting an announcement on Thursday (St. Patrick's Day!!!). If I remember, I'll come back and share it.

FX for GKU BFPs!!!!

Congrats, @pugsandwine!

[fuzzylogic]

I realize I forgot some very important information. So, here's a pic and some stuff y'all might want to know.

3mo appointment -- weight, 14.5lbs; length, 24 inches; head circumference, 16 inches. Solidly in 6 month clothing, and in some brands 6-9mo, whatever the difference is. She has lost hair, as you'll see in the picture lol. She almost did a full 360 roll (back - belly - back) today, but just didn't quite have the momentum!

A picture for you, with a rare glimpse at my own face. But then you can all tell me that she looks like me, so...

Rama tagged me last week (thank you!) but I got it late and didn't want to bump the thread.

Ada is 14 weeks old and she loves to smile, laugh, grab stuff, and splash in the bath tub. She is a really happy baby so we're pretty spoiled. She is a little chunk, too.



Lurking creepily as always and rooting for all the BFPs!

Hey GKU!

I'm 7+5 today and pretty laid out. On Friday we saw LO on us again and it's doing amazing!! It tripled in size and the heartbeat was amazing to hear again. We graduated from the RE but I was diagnosed with HG and sent to the ER for fluids. I've been off work this whole time and really sick. I see the high risk OB on Thursday and I'm hoping they have some suggestions. I've lost about 20lbs in 2.5 weeks and really working on fluid intake. DH has been amazing and has been taking really good care of me. I just ordered a Doppler today and am going to start trying in a couple weeks to find the heartbeat at home.

Wishing you ladies all the best!!

[LadyNymeria]

kaliRN - Sorry to hear about the HG. Hope the high risk dr has some ideas to help you feel better, or at least be able to keep fluids and food down.

[ohinvrtedworld]

Congrats daisycat!!! I wasn't involved for super long on TD but I remember you and your cute little guy.

kaliRN I'm sorry about HG I hope that the docs can find you some relief.

[bighair12]

I will be 25 weeks on Thursday. We moved up my next ultrasound to the 29 so we can get thing officially planned for my school stuff. And hopefully then we will have a plan in place for when my little one and my uterus get evicted.

[youdontsay]

Hey guys!!!!

I'm 17+1 today and I'm feeling pretty good! Still have the hormonal rage at work so my boss is avoiding me (poor guy). I meet with my new OB a week from today and the NT scan is 4/1. I got to see the little girl last week and she would not stop moving. I was also told I have an anterior placenta so I'm a little bummed since this will be my only pregnancy and I probably won't get to feel her kick. Oh well, I just want a healthy baby at the end of this journey.

Here's a picture of my little girl waving at me (and all of you too!)

Always lurking and rooting for those BFPs!

[jags8]

youdontsay I have/had an anterior placenta and I started feeling movement at not quite 19 weeks. I've had no problem feeling baby move all the time.

[GOmamab15]

Hey GKU!
I'm 25w5d, currently battling wicked heartburn but overall feeling good.
I had a panic attack at the hospital tour this weekend and I'm hoping it will be smoother when I'm actually there for L&D.

Here's my bump this week.



FX for more BFPs and congrats to all the recent ones!

[icaughtfire]

HEYYYY!! Loving these outside babies & all of you ladies look beautiful as per usual.

I'll be 22 weeks tomorrow. Starting to feel movement more consistently, and Mr. Fire is dying to feel him kick but I think that's still a good bit away. I've reached the stage where I'm out of breath putting my shoes on & shaving my legs has become a full workout. It's a glamorous life. I leave you with a bump shot. Always thinking of you lovelies

[penguin129]

Congrats goldenlove3, kleigh and daisycat!

[spicysalmonroll]

Damn it I seem to miss Tuesday every week!
20 weeks!

[cocobellaf]

It's a really bad quality picture, but here I am at 22w 2d.

Still supposed to be on mostly bed rest.

I love ALL the pictures!!!!! Keep them coming!

[penguin129]

Hi everyone! Checking in a day late because I had to fight to figure out our internet connection here.

I'm 7 weeks and 2 days. Our first appointment is 1 1/2 weeks away. I am excited to see the new baby and have DD at the U/S (even though it makes me a little nervous). I have to watch what I eat because I get terrible bloating and gas and am in misery most of the time from it. I just had to have that pizza though.

And... We are now officially Homeowners!!!! We closed on Monday and things went smoothly. We cleaned the house Monday night, came in to dead ants along every baseboard yesterday, swept, and moved the majority of the big furniture in. I'm waiting for the bug guy to come today. DD slept in her own room for the first time since I don't know when and made it most of the night before she called me around 6 and I and laid with her for 2 hours.

[swivelchair5]

Hi everybody! R is 6 weeks old today. She sleeps in her crib most nights and generally gives us at least one 5 hour stretch. She does all sorts of cool things now like suck her thumb, hold her bottle and make eye contact.
Here she is with her new thumb sucking skill (technique could use some work):

And all dressed up for her daddy's birthday:

[shadesofgold]

@pugsandwine - CONGRATS! Miles is amazing. Great work, mama. Hope you heal well and get home soon with your little chunk!

[singingsea]

Hello! I'll be 16 weeks this Friday. My parents were in Florida the last two weeks and according to my mom I've "popped" so here's my first bump pic. Sorry it's in front of a toilet



I've been feeling pretty good. I'm trying not to gain a trillion pounds like I did with DS so now that the weather is getting nice I'm going to start walking.

Hope everyone is doing great. Still lurking, LTing and rooting for more BFPs.

Edit: fixed pic size

[jwinct]

Hey everyone! All these babies and bumps are so cute!!

I don't have much new to report. I'm only 10w2d today. We told our families, including our kids, at DD1's 9th birthday party on Sunday, since both sides of the family were all at our house. Our families were really surprised, but really happy, especially my mom. She yelled, "I'm back in business!" LOL (She is our babysitter and really misses have a baby to watch.) DD1 was not very happy at first and DD2 was really confused for a while. After talking about it with them and they started asking questions and stuff, they both got really excited. DD2 has asked me no fewer than 500 questions since Sunday and she now calls me Baby Belly.

I had all my bloodwork done today, including the verifi cell-free DNA test, so I'm a bit anxious to get those results back, which should be sometime in the next two weeks. My NT scan is 2 weeks from today. I will feel so much better once all that is done. I just want to know that this baby is healthy.

I'm still lurking and looking for BFPs to celebrate!

[icaughtfire]

Not to be an asshole, but I think I'd be really upset if my parents used my birthday party as the stage for their pregnancy announcement. Like..thanks for stealing my thunder, mom&dad.

Glad it worked out for you.

Especially at age 9. It's not like she's 2 and less likely to really remember the party at all.

Exactly all of this. Y'all should probably go ahead & buy her a pony or something, jwinct.

I get it - I really do.  I thought about changing the plan because of that and mentioned it to DH the night before, but he wanted to stick with it.  Also, I know my kid and I honestly doubt any sort of thought about "stealing her thunder" even crossed her mind.

I don't think it's a big deal. Kids that age want presents, cake and other kids to play with. I doubt they care what the grown-ups are talking about.

Exactly. She didn't care at all. She went running outside to play with her all her cousins right after that. 
The only time she mentioned it during the party was when she marched up to DH outside and said, "I want to know exactly when Mommy got pregnant because I know how that happens."
