3) Any other children? Furbabies?
I'm growing my first one now! But also have 1 dog and 2 cats
4) How are you feeling?
Feeling better than I was b/c I changed up my diet some, eating more veggies and brown rice. I haven't had any other symptoms other than sore boobs and fatigue. But caught a cold from my mom and now can't take anything, so miserable from that! I hate being a mouth breather!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
My 1st U/S appt is Wed, July 23rd, can't wait! Only rant I have is just how slow everything seems. Seems like it took forever to get the BFP, then every day since then has been even longer than the day before!
I am also a freelancer, I own a design business, so I work from home and will keep on working until people stop giving me work, unless it becomes too hard to sit in front of the computer for hours each day -- I may just scale back my hours and then take some time off right before and after delivery.

A daughter! She will be 7 in a few weeks
4) How are you feeling?
Great! A bit of RLP and some of my baby's movements are a bit uncomfortable.... but I can't complain.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
We had our anatomy scan on Monday. All is well and we are having another girl!
Erm... I already kind of started... My job was horribly stressful and my midwives wrote me a note. So my last day of work was June 29th.... I have vacation time to use till July 29th... and my mat leave benefits will kick in in August. I will get paid for a year. (Canadian)
I'm 27w5d- due date October 13 with our second boy.
2) Age at delivery? (optional)
36, DH is 42 (today!)
3) Any other children? Furbabies?
Our son is 33 mo (he'll turn 3 at end of October) and our furbaby is 4 mo. I'm potty training both right now!
4) How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good overall. I definitely notice more RLP this time around that thankfully passes pretty quickly. I'm also big enough that I'm in the out of breath phase, which is annoying. I've had lower back issues since my first son was 9 mo and that has been a constant this time around. I'm making an appt to see a chiro next week and hope that will help a little.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? After having to switch doctors after my first appt. I found another, only to have them push me back more. So I found yet another doctor and go next Wednesday. I am excited to see what is going on as I was 7 weeks at my last visit.

QOTW: If you work, do you plan to work right up until delivery or will you start your maternity leave a little early? I would like to save all my time until I deluver, but might see about "light duty" toward the end, I am a nurse on my feet for 12 hour shifts... :-)
