March 2015, 19W6D, mango

2. Age at delivery? (optional)
35

3. Any other children? Furbabies?
Nope

4. How are you feeling?
I'm feeling generally OK.  I had a couple of bad days this week, but nothing unmanageable.  LO is negative for Spina Bifida, which is awesome.  DH and I are finally feeling comfortable enough to buy baby stuff.  I bought a onesie for DH's favorite sports team as a present for DH and we went shopping for board books.

In other news, I discovered bra band extenders on the motherhood website for a couple of bucks each.  I'm happy because I think I'm going to have to go up a size again.

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

I'll be half-way through my pregnancy on Saturday.  Yay!

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

I hate mornings and waking up in general.  Breakfast softens the blow.  Our current favorite weekend breakfast is an improvised huevos rancheros.  It's a mexican dish with fried eggs, tortilla, beans, salsa, and trimmings.  I make the fried eggs and mix the beans and salsa together and skip everything else.  I also love french press coffee, but am only having decaf for now.

I think I'm just about 7 weeks.  I don't keep hardcore track of AF and this was an oops.. but I believe that I'm 7 weeks today.  Size of a blueberry. 

I will be 37 at delivery.

Our son Collin will be 6 in December.  Our daughter Olivia will be 2 the end of this month. And we have a black lab Jake who is almost 11!

Very nauseous and very tired. Pretty anxious too given my history of loss. (2 early miscarriages and 1 late loss at almost 20 weeks).

My OB appt. is the 29th of Ocotober and I cannot wait. 

I'm a breakfast person anyway but I'm even more of a breakfast person now.  All I want is bacon. lol And eggs.  But I always want what I shouldn't have.. my favorite is sunny side up eggs so I've been trying to just make sure it's actually cooked.  But I'm a dipper so that bums me out. lol

Jan 24, 2015; 25 weeks, 6 days; cauliflower

2. Age at delivery? (optional)
37

3. Any other children? Furbabies?
Nope

4. How are you feeling?
Starting to feel big(ger) and getting more tired and uncomfortable

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Next appt is on the 3rd (28 wks) - and I have my GD & Anemia tests then.   

Rant: I am a little bummed/frustrated that I am already getting uncomfortable / tired.  Everyone says the 2nd tri is the best - but I was throwing up till week 21/22 and I am already feeling the fatigue and getting uncomfortable... so basically I had a month of feeling good... I feel like I got gypped!

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

I was never a weekday breakfast person (would just grab something small, etc) but now I have breakfast everyday.  DH and I had a place we loved to go on weekends (diner type place) but they closed this summer after 87 years(!) to our dismay - but they are re-opening next summer (under new owners) so we are hoping it will still be good.

I was not a breakfast in the morning (unless it is at somewhere like Cracker Barrel or Ihop) until I was diagnosed with GD. Now I have to eat a small one. And no pancakes! 

( But I do look forward to eating my multigrain waffle with PB every morning now. It is a sad day if I forget to buy them and I have to choke down toast or something.

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?
I am not a morning person and I'm definitely not a breakfast person! I also hate sweets in the morning, they make me nauseous. And with my aversions I can't stand eggs or bacon right now either, but I know I must eat breakfast, so I've been doing bagels & cream cheese or pb&j on toast. In downtown Raleigh (NC) they have a really cool place that does tapas that does a great Sunday brunch, I've been with my DH a few times, but it's $20/person so we usually wait until they have a living social deal.

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

I am definitely a brunch person.  I hate everything about mornings, even on the weekend and avoid them! We have several brunch places we like to go to, but  DH is a fantastic breakfast cook, so home works too.

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

Nothing really - glad my first appointment went well last week and anxious for my next one in November

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

I love breakfast/brunch!  Most often, I eat cereal at home, but I really enjoy going out to splurge sometimes - we have so many local restaurants nearby with amazing brunches.  I really do miss my sunnyside up eggs and mimosas, though!

NeonNoon

Sorry a lot of you are feeling unwell.  Hope you feel better sooner rather than later.

That platter looks scrumptious @marijaa333!

How did your US go, @Lazzlee79?  (Apologies if you posted an update elsewhere that I missed).

NicoleWI

1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?

1/9/15. 28 weeks. 15 inches-ish?

2. Age at delivery? (optional)

Almost 40

3. Any other children? Furbabies?
DD 5.5, DS 3.5, DD 1.5 (they all turn in Dec & Jan)

4. How are you feeling?
Lately, actually, it's been much harder! And I still have 12 weeks to go! I am huge and really starting to feel it. Everything is getting harder. I have some back twinges and back pain and am on the verge of calf cramping each night. It's harder to carry DD2. I'm exhausted every day by the kids' nap time. 12 more weeks seems really hard, but then again, I know in the past I had tough weeks and then suddenly everything would feel a lot better again. Hopefully my body is just in another re-adjusting stage. 

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?

I have my GD test on Monday. Am hoping I pass so I don't have to do the 3 hour!!

QOTW:  Are you a breakfast/brunch person?  Do you have a special weekend breakfast or brunch that you like to eat at home or a restaurant?

I LOVE breakfast/brunch. Favorite meal of the day! I always eat breakfast, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE to go out for breakfast (w/out kids) and sit and drink coffee and relax. That very rarely happens these days! I like pretty much everything--anything from a muffin and coffee to a huge combo plate--EXCEPT can't eat eggs unless they are scrambled or in an omelet, and not slimy. PP who is a "dipper"--my family teases me b/c I can't even watch people do that. 

Lazzlee79

NeonNoon it went well, thanks for checking in!  Baby measured right on track and had a heart rate of 158 bpm.  It's amazing how something so small can be the cause of so much discomfort.

supersarah77

@marijaa333‌ oh man that breakfast looked yummy

1. Due 5/17/15, 10w along, baby is the size of a prune I think?

2. 38

3. A toddler and a dog

4. Morning sickness is at its worst right now. Ugh. Otherwise I'm feeling good. I got out the maternity clothes but need to go through them. Non-stretchy waistbands are so uncomfortable now.

5. Next appt isn't for another couple weeks.

QOTW: I love breakfast! I always make a pretty big one for DD and we go out once a week. I have to be careful now because things will sound great but eating more than just a tiny bit of anything makes me sick.
