*******************************

mandiroo – Safe travels!! You head home from OK tomorrow, right? I will look forward to seeing the nursery whenever it is all ready! How has your week been otherwise?

SandSunBliss - Hope you're doing well, lady. Work still kicking your rear? Any progress with nursery planning?? You're team green, right? What colors are you thinking?

lv2011 - How was your week? Congratulations on a beautiful A/S!! Also congrats on the purchases!! I have a car seat obsession, what kind did you go with? As for the sleep discomfort, do you have any of those fancy pregnancy pillows? I am wondering if they actually work at all....

Amores0121 – I hope DH is feeling better and you were able to dodge the sinus thing. There is all kinds of nasty crap going around here. Good luck and lots of hand sanitizer! I hope you had a nice week.

Kateitho - How are you doing? I hope you had a nice week. Any more bathtub seasickness from the rough waters? Any other symptoms?

Third&goal - How is everything going? How did your appointment go? How are things with DH? I hope you had a good week!

JAW2 - How has your week been? Good luck with the ultrasound this week!

LM915 - How did the appointment and ultrasound go? How is the exhaustion and nausea treating you. Just remember that if you need a power nap, it's OK. And if you come home from work, lie on the couch, and close your eyes for "just a minute" only to wake up hours later, hey I will not judge!

dawnstar898 - Sending lots of good vibes for your appointment tomorrow. Are you having an ultrasound??

lindsayhilleary - Hi there, lady! How did your ultrasound go? How are the m/s and other symptoms treating you?

SaranJonathan - I'm glad to see everything is going well. I hope you're still feeling good and kicking butt! I love having a doppler at home, too!

J&J09 - I've been thinking of you. How is everything going? Any progress on the work situation? I hope that the correct path becomes clear to you either way.

Erica1110 - How are you holding up? Any relief from your symptoms at all. I'm sorry you've been dealing with all of that. Blech!!

princezjk - Hi, lady, how was your week? Good luck with the glucose test this week!

voplo - Welcome to the check-in! How was your week? Congrats on 2nd tri this week!

Smileygirl18 - Welcome to the check-in! How was your week and how are your symptoms treating you?

SuperKim13

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 14 weeks, lemon or according to pregnant chicken, cupcake!

Appts/ Updates? Nothing for a couple more weeks. Next appt at 16 weeks, AS at 18.

How are you feeling? Crappy today, have a sore throat, sinuses are blocked and a bad headache! Ugh!

What are you craving? I ate 3 fruit roll ups last night. So there's that. Haha.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? I'm a Tom Brady/New England fan, so don't really want Manning to win another ring. On the other hand, he has made an incredible comeback, and probably deserves it.

LM915

Good morning ladies and thank you for the check-in @SuperKim13! 

Congrats to the new mamas!!!  

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 7 weeks / blueberry

Appts/ Updates? We just had our first appt on Friday and won't have another one for a few weeks.  I think the next few weeks will be hard for me as I start to reach loss related milestones.

How are you feeling? Pretty good.  We had a great u/s on Friday and we are feeling really happy that everything is looking good so far.  My symptoms seem to come and go from day to day, but I know that's normal.

What are you craving? Nothing really.  My birthday was a few days ago, so we've had leftover cake around and I've been eating lots of that.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? I'm not even sure!  haha our team lost last weekend, and I haven't even been paying attention to who is in the Super Bowl this year.  Oops!

LM915 - How did the appointment and ultrasound go? How is the exhaustion and nausea treating you. Just remember that if you need a power nap, it's OK. And if you come home from work, lie on the couch, and close your eyes for "just a minute" only to wake up hours later, hey I will not judge!

Thanks for asking!  The ultrasound was great!  DH and I were both really nervous driving to the appt, but as soon as the baby popped up on the screen we both saw the flickering heartbeat before the u/s tech even said anything and it was a big sigh of relief!  The baby was measuring perfectly (one day ahead) and had a great hb of 132 bpm!  

The biggest symptom I'm dealing with is exhaustion.  We were watching a movie last night with DD and I almost fell asleep on the couch at 7pm.  But I'm okay with being tired, I know there is lots going on!

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Sorry you aren't feeling well today!  My sinuses have been blocked up for weeks and I have been waking up with a sore throat pretty much daily, it sucks!

Fruit roll ups sound really good.  I haven't had one of those in so long!!  Now I kinda want one.

SandSunBliss

Thanks for the checkin, lady

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 22 weeks papaya.

Appts/ Updates? Next appointment is next Tuesday, so nothing new there. Feeling lots of little movements though so I feel pretty good about bean

How are you feeling? Overall ok. Work is kicking my butt still and in having a hard time balancing working, sleeping and actually getting things done and exercising... I am basically not doing all of those things for long enough.

What are you craving? Nothing really. Maybe chocolate this time.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? I'm on the Denver bandwagon. I just think Peyton's a good guy and a pretty amazing player.

SandSunBliss - Hope you're doing well, lady. Work still kicking your rear? Any progress with nursery planning?? You're team green, right? What colors are you thinking?
See above for work talk. We are team green. I think I have settled in the ocean theme with mostly orange, aqua and navy. I've pinned a lot if things to my secret Pinterest board. I have got to actually start doing things though and I really need to register for birth classes so we get the timeframe we need. It's getting real!

djtippietoes

Thank you!

Third&goal

SuperKim13.  I had a pretty good week.  DH and I kinda made up.  We are both trying harder I think.  The appointment last week went really well.  It was just an ultrasound to check on little sprout and growth is great and SCH clearing up.  Now we have a dreaded 2 week wait until our NT scan.  Last time the NT scan was when we discovered our loss.  So even though we have had more checks lately, I am still nervous.  

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit?   11 weeks! 

Appts/ Updates?  NT scan on 2/5.  I can't wait.  

How are you feeling?   Feeling ok, broke out some of the maternity clothes but still hiding it mostly.  

What are you craving?  Carbs?  

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl?   I love the puppy bowl.  We probably won't be watching though.

Sounds like a great nursery.  We were TG with our first and did a teal and green nursery that I loved.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 7/21 - 15 WEEKS - Orange

Appts/ Updates? Nope, no appt til Feb 5th for tummy check.

How are you feeling? Pretty good. Nauseous. It's like I have to constantly eat or the nausea comes back I try to eat peanut butter crackers throughout the day. They seems to help (like 1 every 20-30 minutes lol)

What are you craving? Nothing really. Although, now that I think about it, I would LOVE some chocolate covered strawberries.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Don't care haha

Erica1110 - How are you holding up? Any relief from your symptoms at all. I'm sorry you've been dealing with all of that. Blech!!

@SuperKim13 - Thanks for the check-in. I'm feeling slightly better. I haven't thrown up in 3-4 days, but the headaches are getting to me.

Sorry you aren't feeling well today. Get better soon.

p.s. now I want a fruit roll up

I hope the headaches get better soon. I've been getting a lot of them too and they are killer. I basically had one all day yesterday whih was my only day off this week. Not cool.

My sinus's are terrible too! I am going to talk to my OB about taking allergy meds in the second tri.  

mandiroo

Hi Superkim and Monday mamas!

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 29 weeks! Not sure what fruit that is. 

Appts/ Updates? Next appt. is this Thurs., no new updates.

How are you feeling? Feeling sore! Killer RLP pain this past week. Hoping that settles down soon so I can quit this funny walk I've got going! 

What are you craving? Sweets, as usual.
QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Not an NFL fan in general (we watch college mostly), but I'll probably root for Denver.
mandiroo – Safe travels!! You head home from OK tomorrow, right? I will look forward to seeing the nursery whenever it is all ready! How has your week been otherwise?
Thanks! Yes, we fly home tomorrow. It's been a good and long visit; time to get home and get ready for this baby. I'll look forward to seeing the nursery too, lol! Heading to USA Baby on Wednesday to place the order for our nursery furniture; I'm so excited! My week has been good. I have been sewing little projects. I did make an adorable carseat canopy!

Definitely ask! My OB recommends Zyrtec during pregnant, which is what I take anyway. Hope you get some relief soon!

meli1025

Morning!  Not sure how I miss this each week, but I would like to start participating. 

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit?  25 weeks/cauliflower

Appts/ Updates?  I had a low lying placenta since 16 weeks and it's finally moved out of the way and in the clear.  I've been getting scans every two weeks which is giving me such peace of mind.  At my appointment last week my MFM checked the blood flow of the umblical cord artery as well as main placental arteries.  She's being so thorough and all business, I'm so grateful that she came into my life.

How are you feeling?   Feeling pretty good but having a lot of stretching and pulling going on....baby boy is growing nicely.  Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night with pain on one side which gets me nervous but when I slowly switch and lay on the other side it feels better.

What are you craving?  Craving Mexcian food this pregnancy all the time.  I think I could eat it every day.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl?  Cheering on the Broncos this weekend.  I'm a Giants fan normally but I've always loved Peyton Manning.  He's a class act and so talented.

Happy to read that your sch is clearing up!!!

lv2011

Thanks for running the check-in! And congrats to Precious and Djtippietoes!!!!  (((hugs))) to anyone that needs them.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 23 weeks/ grapefruit

Appts/ Updates?  Was supposed to have an MFM appointment today to check cervix and placenta, but too much snow meant it had to be rescheduled. Boo.

How are you feeling? Pretty good- minus the heartburn and continued congestion.

What are you craving? Not really craving anything lately, partly because the heartburn has made eating/ drinking things miserable.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Go Broncos!!!! And all the puppies

lv2011 - How was your week? Congratulations on a beautiful A/S!! Also congrats on the purchases!! I have a car seat obsession, what kind did you go with? As for the sleep discomfort, do you have any of those fancy pregnancy pillows? I am wondering if they actually work at all....

We went with a convertible- Combi Coccoro in carrot cake. It's so cute! We have a serious obsession with all baby things orange. We just bought our stroller and it's orange, too. So now we have the big things out of the way and can focus on the small things

I don't want to spend the money on a pregnancy pillow because I hear such varying results. We have a lot of extra pillows around here, so I just pile them up as needed and pray for the best. So far, they usually just end up on the floor.

precious72381

Just dropping in to say thanks and good luck mamas!! Going to stalk you all and can't wait to read about all the LO's births.

Today was my original due date but lucky to have had the last extra 9 days with my baby. Her jaundice is finally inproving and she gained 5oz in 3 days. She has her hearing test next Tuesday, so that is making me nervous but think she is responding with her eyes when I talk to her now so hoping for the best (she failed the hearing test twice at the hospital). And just a few photos to show off my sweet little girl!

dawnstar898

Congrats to @precious72381 and @djtippietoes on their beautiful babies!  So happy for the both of you ladies
Thank you @SuperKim13 again for the check ins   Sorry you aren't feeling well, being sick sucks when you're pregnant because there's not much you can take!  Hope you feel better and congrats on being a lemon/cupcake!  lol

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit?   10 weeks/prune

Appts/ Updates?  Tomorrow 9 AM  It should just be the doppler to find the heartbeat, if they can't find it with the doppler might get an US, that's what they did last time.

How are you feeling?   So unbelievably nervous and anxious, I can't stand it.  Tomorrow's appointment was the one last time where we found it was the end.  No heartbeat and baby measured 4 weeks behind.  I had had a MMC, and I'm so sure this is the case again.  I have no reason to believe it, I just can't shake it.  It sucks so bad.  I still have symptoms, which I guess could be good.  I did have a teeny bit of pink spotting one time yesterday when I wiped.  Nothing since.  I think I had that a few weeks ago too, and I know it could mean nothing.  I hope it means nothing.  Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.  

What are you craving?  I ate a whole movie theater size bag of skittles all to myself this week.  It was soooo good, for some reason the fruity, yummy, juiciness of it helps the nausea

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl?
Since the Pats lost, I don't really care about the Super Bowl any more.  As for the Puppy Bowl?  This girl, because her name is August and that's my EDD

dawnstar898

@LM915 Congrats on a great US!  I know the loss milestones will suck, and I'm so sorry you have to go through that.  FX that everything goes well

@Erica1110 Sorry you're still nauseous, guess that doesn't give me much hope for that going away, huh?  I'm probably about to go eat some peanut butter crackers now though, sounds good!

@SandSunBliss that's cool that you can feel little movements, I can't wait to get to that point, must be so amazing!

@Third&goal  Glad you had a good appointment last week   FX that time flies for your next one, I know the loss milestone is the crappiest one, I'm sure.  So bigs hugs to you!

@lindsayhilleary You sound like you're in the same state of mind as me,  I'm so sorry you have to go through this, it just plain sucks.  Symptoms can come and go and this IS a different pregnancy.  FX for you and big hugs!!!!

@mandiroo Sorry you've got "the waddle"  going on.  I think you're an acorn squash this week, according to the bump, lol.  Good luck at your appointment next week!

@meli1025 Glad your placenta has moved, sounds like you have an awesome medical care team, that's great!

@Iv2011 sorry your appointment got cancelled   I'm going through the pregnancy pillow debate right now as well.  I don't need it yet, but I wonder when I do, if I'll want one.  There's a boppy cuddle pillow for like 30$ that I was going to possibly try since it's not too expensive

voplo

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 13 weeks yey! Peach

Appts/ Updates? The 5th I have to go back to review the prenatal screening results with the ob. Hoping for the best!

How are you feeling? Much better, the nausea seems to be gone for good. Really sore breast though. Starting to feel more relaxed about the miscarriage possibility since we are leaving the first trimester!

What are you craving? Roasted seaweed.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Mmmm I am from Canada, so we are not really big fans. (sorry!)

Love the color scheme idea!  I have a secret pinterest board, too.  I gave my mom access to pin to it, she has been so excited.  She has pinned so much stuff that I can't find my old pins anymore, haha. 

So glad that things are going well and baby is fluttering around in there!!

Hi Kim, thanks for the check in! My last u/s went well - nice growth and hb. They'll be seeing me weekly through the first tri and then transferring care to an OB. I'm happy for TLC. 

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 9/1, 9 weeks, olive!

Appts/ Updates? another u/s on Thursday

How are you feeling? Terrified. My boobs are no longer sore and I haven't felt nauseated in a couple of days. I'm really scared I'm going to go in on Thursday and there won't be a hb.

What are you craving? No major cravings this week.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Funny you mention the Puppy Bowl - I'd never heard of it until we got in invite to a Super Bowl party where they'll be showing the Puppy Bowl on another screen. It's the main reason I chose this party to attend over another one  :o3

The puppy bowl is pretty freakin' cute!  I'm glad you're being followed so closely, it helps with the a sense of security, I'm sure.  I know that you know this, but it is completely normal for symptoms to come and go.  My boobs got a lot less sore around that time, too, I think, FWIW.  Sending good vibes for this week;s ultrasound!

Hello and welcome to the check in.  I'll try to get over the fact that you're a Giants fan, haha.  I actually had Eli on my fantasy team this year.  Needless to say, I did not do well at all.

How awesome that your MFM is paying such close attention, and hooray for placenta moving out of the way.  That must give you some peace of mind!

I have a very specific pillow technique.  So far it's working out alright!

Just dropping in to say thanks and good luck mamas!! Going to stalk you all and can't wait to read about all the LO's births. Today was my original due date but lucky to have had the last extra 9 days with my baby. Her jaundice is finally inproving and she gained 5oz in 3 days. She has her hearing test next Tuesday, so that is making me nervous but think she is responding with her eyes when I talk to her now so hoping for the best (she failed the hearing test twice at the hospital). And just a few photos to show off my sweet little girl!

She is so beautiful!!!  I just want to snuggle her!  Good luck with the hearing test and thank you for keeping tabs on us!!  Congrats, mama!

Congrats to @precious72381 and @djtippietoes on their beautiful babies!  So happy for the both of you ladies
Thank you @SuperKim13 again for the check ins   Sorry you aren't feeling well, being sick sucks when you're pregnant because there's not much you can take!  Hope you feel better and congrats on being a lemon/cupcake!  lol

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit?   10 weeks/prune

Appts/ Updates?  Tomorrow 9 AM  It should just be the doppler to find the heartbeat, if they can't find it with the doppler might get an US, that's what they did last time.

How are you feeling?   So unbelievably nervous and anxious, I can't stand it.  Tomorrow's appointment was the one last time where we found it was the end.  No heartbeat and baby measured 4 weeks behind.  I had had a MMC, and I'm so sure this is the case again.  I have no reason to believe it, I just can't shake it.  It sucks so bad.  I still have symptoms, which I guess could be good.  I did have a teeny bit of pink spotting one time yesterday when I wiped.  Nothing since.  I think I had that a few weeks ago too, and I know it could mean nothing.  I hope it means nothing.  Tomorrow cannot come soon enough.  

What are you craving?  I ate a whole movie theater size bag of skittles all to myself this week.  It was soooo good, for some reason the fruity, yummy, juiciness of it helps the nausea

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl?
Since the Pats lost, I don't really care about the Super Bowl any more.  As for the Puppy Bowl?  This girl, because her name is August and that's my EDD

Sending soooo many good vibes your way.  Remember that your past does not dictate your future.  This pregnancy is not that pregnancy.  (((HUGS))) and please keep us posted tomorrow!

Also, August is adorable!!!!  And the skittles sound good!

Thank you so much for running the check-in!  I hope everyone had a great week!

Huge congratulations to @precious72381 on the birth of your beautiful daughter Abby!  She is adorable!

Huge congratulations to @djtippietoes on the birth of your sweet Alexander Liam! 

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 24 weeks!  Not sure of the fruit...

 Appts/ Updates? Nothing new to report.  Next appointment is next Wednesday

 How are you feeling? Doing pretty good.  Still really tired at times.

 What are you craving? Still sweets… I must have all the desserts!

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl?  Eh… I could go either way, really.  My Cowboys kinda sucked it up this year, and the past several years.  (Runs away before the flaming starts)

J&J09 - I've been thinking of you. How is everything going? Any progress on the work situation? I hope that the correct path becomes clear to you either way. 

Things are going pretty well.  Baby girl is moving around a lot!  I love it!  Job stuff is still stressing me out.  I put in an application for a job today that I really hope I get.  I hope that this job will help bring some clarity to which direction to go from here.  

Wow, you are cruising right along!!  Yay for baby girl dancing away in there!  Everything crossed that you get the job and it helps ease your mind with regard to some of the uncertainty.

EDD/How many weeks/Fruit? 13 weeks yey! Peach

Appts/ Updates? The 5th I have to go back to review the prenatal screening results with the ob. Hoping for the best!

How are you feeling? Much better, the nausea seems to be gone for good. Really sore breast though. Starting to feel more relaxed about the miscarriage possibility since we are leaving the first trimester!

What are you craving? Roasted seaweed.

QOTW: Who will you be cheering on in the Super Bowl and/or Puppy Bowl? Mmmm I am from Canada, so we are not really big fans. (sorry!)

Good luck at the appointment.  FX for good results!  Congrats on coming to 2nd tri!!
