4.  QOTW: what is your favorite flavor of ice-cream? Do you like to eat it in a cone, cup or other?

 

CheesyPeas

1. How many weeks along are you?  17 weeks

2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)?  9 more days until the anatomy scan!!!  And a whole lot of nothing for the next week.  Getting to feel this little one move around is enough to hold me over though.

3. How are you feeling lately?  Good.  Lots of stretching feelings in the ute area.  It's certainly not an uncomfortable feeling or anything, just different from how I've been feeling up to this point.  I've also been having moments where my heart starts racing because I "over-exert" myself by carrying my kid up the stairs or something else that should be no big deal.  So again, nothing worth complaining about but it's all just a reminder that the later stages of pregnancy are on the horizon and I'm not going to be able to live life unaffected by pregnancy discomforts forever.

4. QOTW: what is your favorite flavor of ice-cream? Do you like to eat it in a cone, cup or other?  Oh man, this is a tough one.  I really love mint chocolate chip but I also really like a butter cream or cake batter type ice cream that I can combine with cake or brownie chunks.  And sometimes I crave something fruity or maybe just vanilla that I can combine with actual fruit.  So I think I'll have to go with D.) all of the above.  An unacceptable answer to the question but I'm going with it anyway because damnit, I'm pregnant and can use the "OMG I LOVE FOOD!!" excuse.  Oh and I love myself a waffle bowl.

Deardra77

Hey ladies!!!! How did it get to be Monday already!?!?!

1.  How many weeks along are you? 13 weeks 1 day. WOW!!!

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Got the old lady blood work (can't remember what it's called again but you all will know what I mean by saying old lady! lol ) back last week. Really low risk for everything (1 out of 10,000) and no sex abnormalities. Choose not to find out the sex but they know obviously and all good there. :-)

3.  How are you feeling lately? This whole pregnancy I have felt pretty much nothing other than tired. And grossed out a lot by poopy diapers. But really nothing else & my PIO shots haven't left my butt numb either this time which is awesome! Still get the odd stabby pain in the injections area but I'm sure that will pass soon.

4.  QOTW: what is your favorite flavor of ice-cream? Do you like to eat it in a cone, cup or other? In a bowl, whats this cup business, can't fit enough in there then! lol I love all icecream, my favourite is salted caramel. I have GD right now so can't indulge, kills me! Can have casheotopia from whole foods though as it's low glycemic index. Better than nothing!

Hope everyone has a great week! 

1.  How many weeks along are you? 9w2d

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? The only update i have that is exciting is that after my blood work today, I will be weaned off of my vivelle patches this week.  Super excited about that.  My first appointment with my OB will be Tuesday the 27th. 

3.  How are you feeling lately? Tired, and getting headaches. I am so bloated it is crazy.  I am sure some of it is the food that I eat. The cheeseburgers and Chipotle which isn't bloat just fat. 

4.  QOTW: what is your favorite flavor of ice-cream? Do you like to eat it in a cone, cup or other? I like cones, but usually get it in a bowl.   I tend to like chocolate ice cream at home with popcorn with butter. (TRY IT!! You will love it).  I also like mint chocolate chip, and Birthday Cake Remix from Cold Stone. I wish i was craving ice cream, but sadly I have not. 

chrissynena

1. How many weeks along are you? 10w1d2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results? Nothing new. I have my nurse appt on Wednesday. Oh wait!! One more week of PIO, I'm counting down the days!! 3. How are you feeling lately? Same as last week, very nausea and super tired. 4. QOTW: what is your favorite flavor of ice-cream? Do you like to eat it in a cone, cup or other? Cup, cone, bowl, right out of container I don't care. I love it any way!! I love any ooey gooey ice cream, that has no fruit in it. 

lcloffredo

1. 14w1d second trimester!! 2. Loved my new doctor and got to sneak a peek at babies to check their heart rates and all is good there. My next appointment is June 4th and I will get an ultrasound so hopefully will be able to determine gender 3. Started on a new pill to help nausea which isn't 100% but still much better. Saturday at work I almost passed out and had to have a nurse come get me and check me out (super embarrassing). Doctor said one of the babies got stuck under my pelvic bone and caused those symptoms but to just lay on my left side for a while and everything should resolve and it did. Sunday I was finally feeling fairly good for once in this pregnancy and then I coughed and threw my back out so bad my husband now has to help me in and out of bed and to generally get around. Went to the chiropractor who told me I should have come in sooner (which I knew I just kept putting it off). Don't know how I will go back to work Wednesday but I somehow have to. It's just one thing after another with this pregnancy. 4. I love coffee ice cream in a waffle cone

Jeffreysmom24

1. This is so bizarre, I can't remember if I am 17 or 18 weeks, lol!
2. Next appt is on Monday, the anatomy scan!!
3. Feeling fine, still get tired easily though
4. Mint chocolate chip in a waffle cone! Btw, I love everyone's responses to this question - makes me want to eat ice cream right now! @Deardra77‌ , the salted caramel sounds wonderful, I have never tried that!

cerad5

1. 18.5 weeks. @jeffreysmom24 aren't we the same? I think you are 18 weeks too

2. Appt yesterday was amazing, DD had to come with me which I thought was going to be a disaster, but it wasn't at all. My OB let her help with the Doppler to find the heartbeat. And hearing that sweet sound was bliss. Anatomy scan scheduled for June 4th.

3. I feel pretty good. Nausea is mostly gone. Allergies are mostly gone. Seeing my chiropractor again today to keep the hip pain in check. Like @cheesypeas I have noticed I can over exert myself for sure. Starting to get out of breath with simple things like climbing a flight of stairs. This is so silly, but my linea nigra popped up the other day and I am so happy to see it.

4. I am seriously in the "don't discriminate" crowd for ice cream. But if we are going for ultimate, all-time favorite I actually love frozen custard more than ice cream. My favorite topping is rainbow sprinkles, but not the crunchy sprinkles, the soft ones.
