Hi All! Hope everyone has a great week! 

1.  How many weeks along are you? 12w2d

2.  Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? I have my 12 week and NT scan on Thursday.  Just praying everything is still moving along in there and the baby is healthy. 

3.  How are you feeling lately? Still super tired and hungry. I think most of the nausea is gone.  

4.  QOTW:  what is your favorite or “go-to” meal during the work week?  Does DH ever cook? Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup.  Yes but usually it is fish, or a Tater Tot Hot Dish.  Most of the time I just ask him to help me do stuff, which he always will.

1. I am 21.5 weeks
2. Sorry I didn't come by to update last week. Baby is a girl!! I have to go have another ultrasound in two weeks because little miss was a little stubborn and they didn't get all the measurements they needed. The tech said she looks perfectly healthy and I have nothing to worry about but they just want to be 100% sure.
3. Feeling pretty good. Still randomly nauseous, it's really tied to me waiting too long to eat.
4. Go to meal? Chicken tacos in the crockpot, throw some frozen breasts in the AM with some water and salsa. Shred it at dinnertime, add taco fixing...done. I am a lucky girl, DH cooks more than me!

Congrats cerad5 on team pink! I was wondering about you all last week!

1. 21 weeks
2. Had a routine dr appt today. Next up is the glucose test in July.
3. Feeling good and trying not to get stressed out that we haven't done anything to get ready yet. We just found out that we need a new roof at our house (ugh) so we want to get that fixed asap.
4. Go to meal is spaghetti with meat sauce. DH loves to cook and gets home before I do, so luckily he does all of the cooking.

@Jeffreysmom24, feel free to update me to team pink.  I'm going with it unless proven otherwise by an ultrasound in the future.  The "potty shot" compared to some pictures online look pretty consistent to several confirmed girls I saw, so I'm really thinking the ultrasound tech was just being overly-cautious.

1. How many weeks along are you?  20w5d

2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)?  Nope, not a thing.  Next appt is June, 25

3. How are you feeling lately?  Good.  A bit fatigued but otherwise good.

4. QOTW: what is your favorite or “go-to” meal during the work week? Does DH ever cook? Honestly, I just eat what DH serves.   I'm really fortunate that he's the chef of the family.  He's far pickier than me, so I would cook dinner and do something simple, he would probably stick his nose up at it.  It's more peaceful if I just let him take the reins.

I've been a slacker. & haven't posted in a while. I'm glad to see that everyone seems to be doing well.

1. I'm 32w 3d
2. I had an appt last week. All is well except the baby is breach. He/she has 7.5 weeks to flip, so I'm not worried yet.
3. I feel pretty good. The heartburn & feeling of fullness are beginning to get to me, but I'm still pretty comfortable.
4. My favorite go to meal is grilled chicken b/c then MH cooks. When I'm responsible for dinner, which is the vast majority of the time, my go to's are chicken Marsala or piccata or ground turkey tacos. I enjoyed cooking before kids, but nowit seems like such a chore.

Oh man I wish I was this lucky, I actually HATE to cook.  I just like making other people happy with food.

Yeah, it's pretty nice.  But also obnoxious because sometimes I would like to take the reins and let him do something else in the evening.  I know that pleasing him would require a meal with some 30-step prep process though and ain't no body got time for that.  Like I for example would throw together a side salad with some greens of some sort from the fridge, maybe some shredded cheese, croutons from a bag, and some bottled dressing.  He would want to improve upon my simple salad by making some bleu cheese dressing himself, boil some eggs, dice up some avocados, and fry some bacon for bacon crumbles to add to the top of the salad.  He's such a prissy little bitch sometimes.   Oh well, DS and I get to play while DH wastes his night away being prissy...
