TrickyJedi I'm sorry for your loss. kleigh Congrats on your twins!
Hi everyone! I'm 8 weeks 1 day today. My first appointment and u/s are on Friday. I am nervous about what is going to happen and hoping my doctors knew what they were doing when they said they wanted to wait to test my thyroid levels. I'm supposed to be getting the papers for all my labs Friday and plan to get them done ASAP. DD and H will be with me for the appointment.
We've been living in our home since Tuesday of last week. I can't believe we've been homeowner's for a week already. We opted to wait on painting any rooms until over the summer when H is on summer vacation. I went shopping for tons of house stuff yesterday including curtains. The vertical blinds are coming down! I have to hem them a bit because they were too long.

penguin129, if it gives you any peace of mind I didn't have my thyroid levels checked until my first appointment either (even though I got my hypothyroid diagnosis a couple years prior) and everything was fine. They upped my dosage and did monthly checks which usually resulted in another increase.

Also, Congrats on moving into your new house!!
Thank you for telling me this. My SIL said they did the same thing for both her pregnancies with hypothyroidism. It does help to know it is somewhat normal procedure. I didn't have hypothyroidism while I was pregnant with DD so this is all new to me.
Hi GKU. I've been lurking a lot lately but haven't had a whole lot of time to post. Life is crazy right now, we have a ton going on! All good stuff, but still so busy. I miss playing and hope I can once things start to shake out.
Ellie turned 4 months old last week. H took her to her doctor appointment this morning without me and she got a few shots, but he says she was a trooper about it and only cried for a minute. She weighs 12lbs 15oz and is 24.25" long, so still very much on the small side. She's a happy little thing though. Always smiling and talking, found her toes this week and is super into grabbing them and pretty much anything else within reach. And if you sit her up she can hold herself sitting upright for a few minutes unassisted.
I've got nothing exciting this week. 13w2d. My energy continues to slowly return and the nausea continues to intensify. We announced to the world last week. My middle school students were the best. They were so damn cute. I also had to finally buy maternity pants since I only have 1 pair that still buttons.
I love lurking and spying on you all. I get so excited each time I see another BFP.
My goodness, she is so adorable cnf2013 . How is she 4 months already?
Thanks! I have no idea how she got to 4 months already. It blows my mind, she's already a third of the way through her first year. I have no idea where the time goes.
I mean, barely. I'm 4 weeks 5 days and it's been exactly one week since my BFP! I had betas measured last Wednesday and Friday and the numbers looked good, so now I just bide my time til my dating/viability scan on April 7th.
As for symptoms, I've been dealing with nausea and exhaustion, which is compounded by the fact that I'm still breastfeeding. Which, btw, suddenly HURTS. Weaning is very much underway.
I miss you ladies already and I'm still lurking you hard, with everything crossed for all the BFPs!

Hi GKU! As of my last appointment this baby is still head up Really disappointed because I wanted a VBAC, but it was not unexpected with my uterine abnormality. We are going to schedule the c-section at the next appointment so I will have a tentative date! H and I have settled on 3 names to bring to the hospital so yay for decisions!
In other news, I can no longer fit on my bike with DS1 in his front seat so I'm looking into getting a trailer for him, but I'm so large at this point that I wonder when it will be too uncomfortable to bike. Just walking isn't keeping my weight gain at acceptable levels, though, so I'll probably try it.
Hi everyone! It's been a little while since I've checked in! I'm 35+3 and feeling ready to get this baby out of me. I am having intense rib pain and I just want to meet him!
Yesterday we had an ultrasound to check his growth and position. Baby is head down and ready to go! Although he's facing my back which I don't think is ideal, but my doctor didn't seem concerned. They estimated his weight at 5lb 9oz, in the 40th percentile. Just a little peanut!
I have had so much fun working on the nursery, and it's almost done. I made some letters with his name to go over his crib and I think they turned out really cute! I love just sitting in my glider in his room

renbee facing your back is ideal actually. When they are face forward they cause extra pain in labour and can get stuck more often. Fx for a smooth delivery!!
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!

Loving all the bumps and babies!! Just realized I commented yesterday but didn't actually post an update!
Chugging right along - I'm 16 weeks today! Woah! Been fighting another cold which is tough to do without cold medicine, but oh well. I have a regular monthly check-up tomorrow and I believe we'll be scheduling the anatomy scan while I'm there!!! Very much looking forward to that although I expect it to be another 3-4 weeks out.
I mentioned last week we were finally going to announce "publicly" (aka Facebook) but I forgot to come back and share the picture like I said I would. I love my dog and St. Patrick's Day is my favorite day of the year so I posted this on St. Patrick's Day morning.
I've been taking pictures every week for a while now, but I was feeling pretty bump-tastic this morning so I figured it would be a good first bump shot to share with you all.

Hi all! I'm a day late but I haven't checked in for a while - Caroline turned 4 months old on Sunday and this is such a fun age! She found her feet, our faces, and realized we have a dog! She also tried food for the first time - and she really seemed to like it!

Oh good! My coworker told me it wasn't good for some reason...but glad to hear she is wrong!!
Late to the game, but Mallory turned 2 months yesterday! Not much to report though.
She likes to fuss all evening (currently holding her and typing one handed) and stay up until 11 pm but then will usually go a 3-4 hour stretch; she wakes 2-3 times a night.
She started giving real smiles last week and it's the best thing ever!
I'm 12w 5d today. We had our NT scan last week and everything looked good according to the doctor. Little Pips was wiggling all over the place. It was really cool to see!
Poof pic. Omg congrats pippacricket!! Just saw this. So happy for you
