Hi Ladies - 

No major updates on my end... 12 weeks, 3 days today.  Fatigue is easing up a bit but the morning sickness decided to make a re-appearance with a vengeance today so clearly I am not yet past the throwing up phase - sigh.  

On the up side - we told our siblings last week - only immediate family that don't know are my niece and nephew - my sister wants me to tell them when I visit in a few weeks.  Later this week I am traveling and will see 2 of my closest friends - so will tell both of them since we are almost at the end of the first tri and it would be nicer to tell them in person vs on the phone.

We get the Panorama results later this week - so we are hoping for good news!!! (telling 2 friends is contingent on test results of course)

Hope you are all doing well - I think of you so often and frequently find myself lurking here!  Hope you all get your BFPs soon!

I'm 11 weeks today... time is weird right now... seems so slow and so fast at the same time.  I have my fist tri screening with my MFM next week and I am anxious.  I haven't seen the twins in a month and that is just way too long for my comfort.   No issues though really just morning sickness and crazy exhausted. 

We told our families and closest friends (and bosses) and are waiting after our next scan to tell more people.  I haven't bought a thing out of fear but I promised my husband we would get the nursery painted after the first tri screening.

I am still lurking and cheering you ladies on!

I'm at least a few days away from my first prenatal appt.  I'm quite excited about it.

I'm still pretty early in my pregnancy and haven't quite adjusted to the bonked-on-the-head feeling and exhaustion.  I'm about 2/3 as productive as before and am learning tricks to keep myself going (naps, exercise etc).

I'm glad to report that I'm keeping up with most of my exercise.  The body weight exercises really lift my mood and energy. And, somewhat surprising to me, I seem to have a lot more strength due to estrogen in spite of the fatigue.  I'm making incremental progress even though I'm limiting myself from exerting myself too much.  I'm walking too, but that doesn't seem to have an immediate effect.  As for my HIIT, I was going to continue just at a more moderate level but this is the part that I haven't been able to keep up.

The exhaustion is definitely the hardest part for me.  I'm probably not going to be caught up with the chores until the 2nd trimester.  Until then, I'm hoping nobody visits!  No MS (thank god) or particular cravings except for more junk in general.

I too like to read your posts and see what you've been up to.  Good luck!

Hey everyone! I miss posting on other posts here, it's been hard to resist! But I am a serial lurker and 'love it'-er!

@ksgsmu - I feel you on the time thing! My first 'early' ultrasound will be July 23rd, but US tech is on vacation, so I have to go to a radiology place near my house and then to my OB several hours later... the waiting is agony! First the 2WW, then waiting for appointments...

Do you think it's weird if I call them to find out who will be administering the procedure? I prefer female doctors and hope that the dr. or US tech will be a woman too.

I'm still quite early, just over 5 weeks, but I think I'm finally able to tell the difference between all the feelings/pain I'm having (bloating/gas vs. cramps, etc.). It has gotten a lot better, but I think I'm trying to eat a lot better b/c I do NOT want to feel like that, even though I am also craving @NeonNoon the not so healthy stuff. When I had PMS, I used to crave Chinese food, so I thought it would be the same in pregnancy, but I'm actually craving mexican, specifically burritos! We don't have a Chipotle close by, but we do have Moe's, I switch up between their (shell-less) taco salads and burritos, but have eaten there probably 3x a week for the past few weeks.

Mostly experiencing fatigue, sore boobs, minor MS and now I have a stupid cold (or at least nasal congestion and sore throat). Been helping my mom move & unpack and she was sick but didn't think she was contagious anymore... oh well, OB nurse said sudafed and cough drops were all right, which is good b/c I didn't sleep at all last night w/ the nasal drip! So, I already have foggy brain, it's been worse the past few days.

I look forward to you all joining us here! *hugs*

I will update harmony test when I find out! Good luck ladies! Much love !

I don't think it's weird @mdogan29 .. I plan on asking my OB's office who actually does the US.  I prefer females for that sort of thing too.  I'm not sure if I'll switch OBs if they don't have a female tech.

Hi Ladies - quick update - my Dr's office just called.  The Panorama tests are back - EVERYTHING came in at low risk.  They said these are the best results you can get!  YAY!!!!  Huge relief!

And since I am clearly not thinking straight I texted my best friend to let her know - she was visiting the week after we found out I was pregnant and we couldn't hide (nausea, fatigue) it so we told her.  So I text her to let her know all is normal and after I hit send I realize I sent it on a group text between her and our other best friend... who I was going to tell in person on Thurs!  OOPS!  I called her and she is very excited for us - feel bad for her finding out that way though!

Edited - clarification

Hey ladies...still not much going on!! I was 8 wks yesterday. Still feels weird. I did though have my first bout of vomiting yesterday all day at work. Finally left at 4:30. It's only been nausea for the last few weeks. Today I feel great but then my mind starts to wander...is baby ok? I'm sure you don't care how sick I am but I've got nothing else!!!! Lol.

@Lady2010‌ great news!! @Samuelismomma "‌ good luck on the 21st!!

Hope you ladies are all doing well. xoxo

I'm 7w2d and my first ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow.  I alternate between feeling confident (plenty of ms and fatigue to convince me I'm still pregnant) and scared (still having abdominal pain that freaks me out).  I'm praying for a good report tomorrow, a heart beat and then calming the heck down.  Plus, I'd really like to tell my daughter, but not before we get past the big mc milestone.

Love the updates! FX for all you ladies!

Hi all:

No big updates on the baby front. Just getting rounder and bigger and more tired. I really wish the air conditioning in my car worked!!! I've been scouting for new cars. The time is coming for me to take the plunge. I'm thinking of leasing a 2014 Honda CR-V. I love Hondas and the lease rates aren't horrible. 

In the awesome news department, we took our son in for his follow up with our developmental pediatrician. She remains thrilled with his progress and said that there is no doubt in her mind that he will live independently. She said that, although the term no longer exists in terms of a medical diagnosis and everything is under the ASD umbrella, if she were to diagnose him under the old DSM-IV, he would be given a diagnosis of very mild Aspergers Syndrome and that we should direct our research towards literature dealing with Aspergers presentations and treatment. My husband and I just about jumped for joy. We know our little guy is super smart, but it's something to have a completely objective third party recognize his gains and how hard we've all worked to get him here. The road ahead of us is long, but I know he has so much potential.

This also makes it easier for me to be pregnant with another boy. Although I'm so thankful for all of DS1's progress, I pray DS2 will be NT, and they will be best friends, and he will have a peer model in his younger brother. 

So, all in all, a happy week here!!!

@Lady2010‌ congrats! That's wonderful news! @ProcessofBecoming‌ so glad your son is making great strides:) that's wonderful and I understand the relief of the "new diagnosis" ! Good luck car hunting! Lol

BeckyP005

@ProcessofBecoming‌ great news on your son! Happy for the progress he is making!

@BeckyP005 Sorry you are so sick... Once I started vomiting I knew it was time to call and get the Meds!!
