Thanks for a great check-in @jeffreysmom24

1.I am 17.5 weeks.

2. Next appt is May 19th, scheduling the anatomy scan then. It's getting close!

3. Allergies still haven't let up, the high pollen count should be letting up soon so I am holding out hope . I did go see my chiropractor for some hip pain I was having and he adjusted me and I feel SO much better. He said my hips are just really sensitive to all the hormones. I am so happy I am going to him. With DD I suffered through when I didn't need to with hip/pelvic pain.

4. DH has had to work 12 hour shifts the last two MD, so this year he really made it special. Took DD and I out to breakfast, cleaned the house, let me take a long nap and he and my brother cooked dinner for my mom and I. My gift was a maternity swim suit and this journal I really wanted (instead of cards every year he and DD will write notes or draw pictures for Mother's Day). For Father's Day I know for sure I am updating the "D-A-D" picture (DD holding up letters to spell out Dad) like I have the past several years.

1. 13weeks! Almost out of the first trimester!
2. I have an appointment with a new ObGyn Wednesday hope I can stop looking and he will let me attempt a vaginal delivery.
3. The nausea is getting worse and headaches too. Hoping they subside soon!
4. For Mother's Day we went to church had breakfast and I was so hormonal I cried half the day! No special gift I asked to look into a doula instead. For Father's Day I don't know what I'm really getting him but I told him I'm getting him this mug.

1.  How many weeks along are you? 8w2d

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Had another ultrasound and blood work today at the RE, measuring right on track and a heart rate of 167.  I technically am graduating from my RE meaning I don't have to do anything but blood work. They will start to wean me off of meds in 2 weeks.  My first OB appointment will be 05/27.

3.  How are you feeling lately? Still so dammed tired. 

4.  QOTW: did you do anything fun for mother’s day or get any special gifts?  Looking ahead to father’s day, do you have anything planned yet or any gifts in mind for DH? Well long story short, I have a bear that I have had since I was born and it was in my car. Well DS had friends in the car and someone ripped it.  So he had it fixed and he gave me flowers.  Super sweet.  I am not sure what I will do for DH, I had a thought about it, but will have to see when the time gets closer. Any suggestions? (This will be DH's first)

1. 17 weeks
2. Next appointment is this Thursday - I can't wait! I have been feeling nervous that I haven't felt any flutters yet.
3. Feeling ok - energy is back just a little bit.
4. We had a nice day yesterday - DH gave me a spa giftcard and we spent the day at my parents' house. For Father's Day, I am getting DH a giftcard to rent a motorcycle one weekend - he loves to ride and probably won't get much chances after LO arrives!

1.  28 weeks...officially in the 3rd tri!

2.  I have my GD test a week from today.

3.  Feeling good, but the acid reflux is getting really annoying.

4.  Saturday was my birthday, so it was a weekend all about me. MH surprised me by bringing my family here (my mom, brother, sister and I all live in different states) to celebrate my birthday. Then my mom, MH, DD, and I went out for an amazing Mother's Day brunch. He also got me a pair of earings and my mom is sticking around to watch DD next weekend while MH takes me away.  I'm thinking about getting Mets tickets for MH, DD, and I for Father's Day. Either that or something golf related; I'm not sure yet.

Happy belated birthday @ally510‌ ! It sounds like it was a great one - what an awesome surprise your DH planned for you! Hope your weekend getaway is wonderful!

1. How many weeks along are you? 16w5d

2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Nope, nothing new.  Two more weeks until my A/S!

3. How are you feeling lately? Good!  Feeling fat these past couple of weeks.  A bump is finally present in the morning these days.  Up until recently it was just huge by the time bedtime rolled around but gone in the morning.  Oh, and I'm starting to feel movement on a daily basis.  It's such a nice change of pace from my anterior placenta last time and having to wait FOREVER to feel DS.

4. QOTW: did you do anything fun for mother’s day or get any special gifts? Looking ahead to father’s day, do you have anything planned yet or any gifts in mind for DH? Daycare did a cute gift for me with DS's handprint, picture, and poem.  DH failed to do anything special for me...like always.  So I guess that means I should have a pretty easy Father's Day, huh?  He sets the bar incredibly low.
