31 weeks; not a clue
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
just my normal appointments
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
All along I thought boy and DH thought girl. DH was right. I think my mind was trying to give me a "do-over". In a lot of ways I'm happy/relieved to be having a girl this time and there are times it makes me sad because I feel like I missed out on raising my boy.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Jeez. That's starting to become a loaded question. A lot. We still have a lot to do to get ready. I was sitting in my OB's office waiting for my appointment and there was someone in the room next to me (walls are a little thin) with a little baby and the baby started crying and I about lost it and then was like "Um, yeah, so we're going to have one of those soon!" Corbin has also been really front and center in my mind lately - not that I'm not always thinking about him but I've been very conscious of it.
In memory of Corbin Scott 10/28/11-12/3/11. Heaven got another angel the night you left this world behind Heaven got a little better the day it took you away from me Missing you tonight, see you again sometime For now I'll close my eyes and dream of heaven tonight I'll love you forever I'll like you for always Now and Forever My baby you'll be

How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? 18 weeks. i cant remember.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Wednesday is my a/s. T&Ps appreciated. I know I will be a nervous wreck.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct? I have no strong feelings either way. With Elsie, I was convinced it was a boy, so when they said girl, I was surprised. I think I may not want to be wrong again, so I havent tried to analyze it.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? Our house situation, still trying to actually close on the house we want to buy. I have also been crying a lot thinking about Elsie this week. Busy with work, which always makes everything more emotional I think.
Just about 5 weeks.
I have my 2nd beta draw today.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
I haven't even thought about it. I can't let myself think ahead like that.

15w6d, baby is an orange I believe
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My next appt is next Friday for a cervix check. I am hoping it goes as well as last time. Last week my cervix measured 4cm, was tightly closed with no funneling.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already found out the sex, were your feelings correct?
This pregnancy has been completely different than my pregnancy with Alice so I suspected baby was a boy, but then I got a strong feeling baby was a girl. At last week's appt the ultrasound tech said baby is most likely a boy, but it is still early (I was 14w4d). And I keep having dreams that baby is a girl and in fact one dream was that we thought baby was a boy and then I have birth to a baby girl and I was freaking out because we didn't have a girl name and she would be nameless. Honestly at this point I have no idea, but baby seems to be a boy and I plan to ask at every appt if baby still has boy parts, haha.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am just feeling tired and not sleeping well.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week?
It's very early so maybe 4 weeks? I went to get my first beta and thyroid test this morning and will know the results later this afternoon. Soooo scared because this is my fifth pregnancy without any living children yet but trying to have hope that it will be alright. I honestly have no trust in my body which is really hard to cope with. I am trying to stay positive.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Another beta on Monday if all goes well today.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
It is obviously way too early to have these feelings but I keep repeating a mantra of please let this baby be alive and healthy over and over in my head regardless of the gender.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Very scared. Just taking it one day or moment at a time and trying to stay busy so I don't let my mind wander too much.
How far along are you? What size fruit is your baby this week? I'll be 22 weeks on Sunday. Not tracking fruit, so no clue.
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? Next appointment is October 1, so a week from Tuesday. I'm counting the days to viability at this point.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct? I had a really strong feeling - from the very beginning - that baby was a girl. I was right.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week? I am so anxious about movement because lack of movement with Devon is what tipped me off that something was very, very wrong. I'm still too early to feel consistent movement, but I still get really tripped out over it. I use my Doppler way too much [not multiple times a day, but I do use it multiple times a week]. Sigh. I am so excited about this baby but am so anxious and miss Devon so much.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I see my dietician for GD on Monday along with having I think my first cervical check.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct? I started off having no clue...then I thought boy when I got really sick since it was so different from my last pregnancy. But then when we first saw the HB and it was 180, I fell into the old wives tale trap and thought girl. Now I can't get girl out of my head. Probably because I secret hope girl, but my angel was a girl and I just so badly want another little girl.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?I just got my cerclage put in yesterday. In some ways I feel more secure, but at the same time I feel like the "scary window" has just begun. We'll know in the next 5-7 weeks if there is any shortening of my cervix, and I am so scared. I HAVE to bring this baby home, I just don't think I can handle another loss.

Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
My first u/s is next Friday!!
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
With both my boys I had strong feelings right from the start that they were boys. This time I have the feeling that its a girl. Either way I will be happy, but we shall see if I'm right.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Morning sickness has set in to stay for a bit I think. Also, I have been EXHAUSTED!!! I was never this tired during first tri with either of my boys. All I want to do is sleep all day. And I've been so emotional over the smallest things. I am already looking forward to second tri.
I have been doing a lot of thinking lately. I am pretty sure that, as long as everything works out with this LO, this will be my last pregnancy. If you had of asked me a couple of weeks ago I probably would have said that I would like to have more. Now tho, I really don't think I want to go through a fourth pregnancy. Being PgAL is just sooo hard emotionally and any pregnancy is hard physically. I know my DH doesn't think that he wants any more after this either. I'm kind of releived to have come to this decision. As hard as this pregnancy will be I will try to enjoy it as much as I can. I am excited with the thought that my little family is almost complete. I hope that I will be able to move to the next chapter of my life and just enjoy my children.
10weeks 1day (double digits!)
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
I have an appointment tomorrow with a new OB - really looking forward to the change.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
Well, according to the Chinese Gender chart it's a girl. And don't they say if the heartbeat is high (both times we've seen our baby it's been 161) it's a girl...but I don't know and we're (hopefully) Team Green!
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
Yesterday was the triplet's EDD - I never would've hit 40 weeks with them, obviously, but still a day I wasn't looking forward to. That being said, I was really busy all day - was at school for 12 hours - so I didn't really have a lot of time to think about it. I'm seeing a new OB tomorrow (she was the OB on call that delivered Leah) and I really hope I like her/the practice...I'm in desperate need of a "new start"
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones? I'll see my MFM on Friday for what I hope will be a consultation with my actual doctor and not just the nurse, but I won't know until I get there. I had an appointment with my RE on Friday and found out that I have twins again.
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
I'm hopeful for a boy and a girl, because so long as this pregnancy works out and I take home 2 live babies at the end of it I won't be seeing the RE again so most likely this will be it.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I'm scared to death about having twins again with a history of preterm labor. I'm anxious to talk with the doctor to see how he feels about it and what options I may have. When we saw the RE he mentioned selective reduction and I honestly just can't even imagine doing that. Both babies are a miracle to me and I just pray that I'm not being selfish to keep them both and risk losing them both later. I'm just a mess is all and I need to talk to the doctor in order to be able to have some of my fears resolved hopefully.
Orange, 15 weeks
Do you have any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Dr appointment in two weeks
QOTW: Have you had any strong feelings to make you think that you are going to have a boy or girl? If you have already doing out the sex, were your feelings correct?
I have been wanting a girl so bad that the entire time I was thinking this lo was going to be a girl. Our harmony test showed boy though, so many mixed feelings there.
Open Topic. What is on your mind this week?
I am trying to be so happy about having a boy. I am just so depressed that I had to pack up all of Arianna's things. I wanted to use all of her things that I imagined dressing her in. I just can't get excited. I am scarred that I won't get excited at all. I am so scarred that he won't come home with me. I just want him safe in me.
I hope you get to meet with the MFM. I got to meet with one (our favorite) a couple weeks ago and simply knowing what the plan was made me feel so much better.
