Hi ladies! And welcome @NB817 ! Lots of appointments coming up on my end. I have a monthly follow-up with my GP on Friday, and my first OB appointment next Monday, and my anatomy scan on the 11th! Very excited about all that. I've been doing well except for some constipation-related issues last week. All better now. I feel like my belly is growing exponentially these days (I'm 18 weeks now). Took advantage of black friday sales to order a video baby monitor, and the crib we bought two weeks ago (exactly 13 days before the sale) went on quite the sale. I was initially pissed, but then realized the store we bought it at has a 14-day price warranty...so we got $730 back! I was pretty excited about that!
@KidShrink Wow, you got a lot of money back! I was thinking DH and I should have bought at least a crib on black Friday or cyber Monday but we didn't I really hope we don't regret it. By the time I thought about it it was a little too late, Plus we haven't really looked around at anything yet.
My next appointment is December 14th for my OB and we have an anatomy scan on December 21!

We had our anatomy scan today. So exciting. Everything looks right on schedule. She's definitely a girl. It was crazy seeing her move all around and I don't even notice yet. We saw her stretch and yawn. Even got the 3D image...which used to be creepy to me, now it's my favorite thing in the whole world! She's just so precious and I can't believe how time is flying.
My MIL has begun shower planning. A date and venue has been chosen. So very hard for me to relent control...I'm used to throwing the showers...all I need to do is get a guest list together. Still need to get on a registry. Also need to stop buying things lol. Well, I've mostly been purchasing items for the nursery. None of the big things yet. Still making those decisions. Still working on clearing out the old office where the nursery will be. Working on it.
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! It was pretty good for us. Got to see some out of town friends and family. ate all my favorite Thanksgiving foods...all good..

@krbjoy Thanks. I cannot wait for my anatomy scan!! I love the 3D images. I think I'm going to pay to have the 3D/4D ultrasound separate because I really REALLY want that. My two best friends already starting discussing my shower too. I asked them to include my cousin and mother in law as well.

Things are going well over here. We graduated out of our perinatalogist appointments since baby boy looks great. Our anatomy scan went great and so did the so-to-speak "IVF baby" heart check.
We leave on Sunday on Maui for our babymoon too. Yay!
On a different note, @efhoping2010, I am thinking of you and hope the coming weeks bring better news. My heart is with you.
