Re: PGAL check-in **3/21**
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 12 weeks -- it just SOUNDS good!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling so much better and can finally stand to have meat cooked in the house again. Hooray!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Japanese food, for sure. I lived in Japan after college and fell in love with the food, and now I crave it as comfort food. A big bowl of sticky white rice with salt on top and a side of miso soup? Yes, please!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? The new OB scheduled me for an extra ultrasound Thursday for peace of mind and I'm thinking of cancelling. (Not sure if it would be worth the extra $150) My next appointment would be at 12 weeks!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm ready for a break from the exhaustion and nausea. My preschooler is on Spring break this week so I'm trying to come up with fun things for my two little guys to do.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) I love Mexican food but lately I've been craving Vietnamese (pho and their spring rolls), and Indian (basically everything on the menu)
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? getting through this week. With my first loss, I remember spotting at 11+1 and it had picked up a good amount by 11+3.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: NT scan next Monday!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Italian. Give me all the pasta, red sauce and cheese!

2. have the harmony testing Wednesday, next obgyn scan on 4/6 and the nt on 4/11! show me my baby!
3. I had like zero nausea until Friday. now I wanna either eat all the carbs or throw up esp at night. not fair.
4. wow this is difficult. heirarchy of cuisine goes: Asian (chinese Japanese Vietnamese anything), Mexican, seafood, BBQ
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? double digits next Monday and finally getting to meet my OB on the 1st.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Seems like the nausea is getting worse but I'll take it as long as I make it thru the next few weeks!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Pasta for sure!
TTC only since Dec 2015. I had some weight to get off. Been working hard in the gym for over a year.
BFP 02-15-16 with our first
IT'S A BOY!!!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Friday!! I don't think I'll be totally reassured after my OB visit and exam Friday but it'll go a long way towards being happy since 12w6d was our last loss discovery day. That being said, this pregnancy has progressed farther than any other so I'm trying to be optimistic even though I'm still terrified that history shall repeat itself at a scan with that terrible surprise.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My mom is going bonkers. Only the moms know and mine keeps calling me with selfish requests. "Well, tell me when I can buy stuff again" "I bought a Due in Oct. shirt for you even though you said not to so tell me when you want it." "I need to tell your aunt, she';; be SO jealous" *sigh*
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Right now? Only french fries. Normally though, I love summer foods like cold antipasto, fruits, and grilled kebabs.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? I guess my next appointment which won't be till April 13th and I will be 15 weeks by then.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Starting to feel more "normal" just hoping this gag reflex goes away with the 2nd tri.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.)
Oh this is hard...I just really love food!!!
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Nuchal mid-April.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I had an excellent ultrasound last week. I was 7 weeks 4 days and baby was measuring over 8. My last loss at my ultrasound I was measuring a few days behind so I feel really good right now.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Italian. The more cheese the better!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? First ultrasound on Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: It's going to be a really, really, really long week. I'm starting to get super nervous that the ultrasound is not going to show us a healthy baby. I have symptoms but nothing that is super strong, and I feel like they should be getting stronger -- if anything they were a little less severe this weekend. I know there's nothing we can do but wait until Saturday and that nothing we can do will change the outcome, but the waiting is really hard.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) I love food. All kinds of food. Food may be my favorite thing. But if I had to pick a favorite cuisine, it would probably be Mexican.
@kmalls - So close to 12 weeks! Glad you are feeling better.
@lizzilou - Hope the exhaustion and nausea ease up for you soon!
@PeggyOlsonFTW - Hooray for almost being at 12 weeks. I hope this week goes fast for you!
@mrszoess - I hope the nausea that's hitting you passes quickly!
@sportiegrl1213 - Hooray for almost being at double digits!
@anna.oskar - I hope that Friday comes quickly for you and that you get reassuring news!
@ejmo68 - Hooray for being past 12 weeks!
@BoyMom44 - Hooray for an excellent ultrasound!

BFP #2 2/18/16
1. How far along are you?
9w1d
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Getting to 12 weeks, I have my next ultrasound just before I turn 12 weeks and then my next OB apt the day after. I think after both those appointments I'll be able to breath.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
Ready to get my energy back! All I want to do is lay around, my house is horribly messy!!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) LOOOVE Italian, pasta, cheeses and alfredo!! My last pregnancy I craved Mexican everything though and now I've been craving more Italian foods this time around so now my husband says our youngest is the Mexican baby and now we are going to have an Italian baby haha
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? NT scan on Friday
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm starting to feel like a person again. Just have sore boobs, a bit of tiredness and a tiny bit of nausea. I hope this goodness continues. And our harmony came back all normal
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) German, Japanese and Italian. Strange mix, I know.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? NT Scan. They couldn't fit me in until the very last day to do it which is the 31st
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am so sick of feeling sick. I was hoping the nausea would let me live a bit once I hit 12 weeks but nope....it's as if it's getting worse. Even taking a shower has become to much work to do.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) I'm all over the place right now but I would say Italian would be my number 1.
O16 April Siggy
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My appointment on 3/30. I just need to see that the baby is okay and growing after going on these progesterone pills. It'll have been a month since I saw it/found out about the extra low progesterone.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I got to sleep in today which was glorious. I'm hoping to get some housework done and start planning for Easter!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.)
This is too hard- Japanese, Mexican, all other Asian, Thai, Italian....
@Tara0604 - Hooray for feeling like a normal person and for good Harmony results!
@vanessa11411 - I'm sorry that you're still feeling sick! I hope you start to feel better soon.
@jillianpardo - Enjoy your ultrasound on Thursday and FX all is well!!!
@joyful08 - I hope the next few days go fast for you and that you get some reassurance at your ultrasound!

2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? We tell the family on Easter Sunday!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I feel great the closer I get to the end of 1st trimester
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Sushi
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 12 week ultrasound next Monday
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I kind of had to stay away from the boards the last couple weeks. I've been feeling so nervous. I can't pick up the hb on the Doppler yet. My uterus is tipped, so that might be part of it. But seriously....I bought the thing to HELP with my anxiety, not create anxiety. I'm kind of mad at myself for buying it.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) That's hard....It's a toss up between Italian and Mexican....I love chips/salsa/queso/guac, but I prefer Italian entrees if that makes sense.

First ultrasound 2/19 - one baby with a heart rate of 127! EDD 10/11/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Hearing baby's heartbeat
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Had my first ultrasound today we have one little gummy bear with a strong heartbeat measuring right on track! Such a relief!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Mexican
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My first appt. this Wed. 3/23
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I laid around and ate all weekend. I have so much fatigue and want to sleep all the time. My sex drive is back! I'm sure DH is raving about this as well. I'm trying to stay positive, and hope that my doc will get me scheduled for cerclage and start my P shots soon.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Italian all the way. I'm actually snarfing down Olive Garden as I type.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Good results at my first trimester scan this Thursday....I'm pretty terrified and can't wait for it to be Thursday night (found out about MMC at this appt last time around)
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: As scared as I am right now, things in general in life have been going better for me this year than last so I'm hoping to keep the upswing going and keeping my Fx for all of our rainbow babies to hang in this time!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Normally would be Japanese and Mexican but right now I want all the Italian and Indian food
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My first apt. tomorrow! Finally. haha. And I'm really looking forward to starting to tell people stateside but I think we're gonna hold off for a long time, probably not til like 20 weeks.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've developed some kind of extremely itchy rash. It's barely visible but its SO itchy and I have no idea if it's from the heat or what but it's been 4 days and I'm going crazy.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) MEXICAN. Though it is incredibly hard to come by here.
2. 8 weeksand my next appointment is on the 6th
3. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired!
4. Right now I hate everything but I'll say Italian
@2015dee - I'm so sorry your doppler is causing you anxiety. Hopefully you can get some reassurance from your u/s and soon baby will be big enough that you can pick up the heartbeat consistently and easily!
@waterfall213 - WOOHOO for a good ultrasound!!!
@TheMillerHighLife - I'm feeling the fatigue too. FX you get some energy soon!
@Uponastar16 - FX that Thursday night comes fast for you and that everything goes well!
@kmolleltz - Enjoy your appointment and FX that the itching goes away soon!
@ByeBabyBunting - Hooray for sticking around and FX that you feel better soon!

BFP #2 2/18/16
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Hearing the baby's heartbeat on a Doppler. I've had 4 ultrasounds but haven't had a chance to hear it yet. I hope I can soon to reassure me. Not finding it doesn't add to my anxiety though, thank goodness
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We announced on Saturday! I had people I haven't heard from in years congratulating us.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) It's a tie between Mexican and sushi. And I've been craving them even more since I've been pregnant.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Getting the MaterniT21 results back hopefully sometime this week; next ultrasound April 4. However I'm going to have to break out the doppler and try to find a heartbeat myself probably this coming weekend so I can go ahead and talk to my boss before April 4.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I have been feeling better today, but I have been so sick and tired lately. I got through the first day after Spring Break without dying or gagging in front of my students, though!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Probably Mexican, if I had to pick one. Really we eat a lot of Italian and Mexican (we are fans of cheese).
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? 9 weeks when I'm going to try hearing the heartbeat with the sonoline b we recently bought.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: My next sonogram isn't for another 5 weeks. I'm getting very nervous. Especially with the recent loss posts. I am trying to relax and just enjoy being pregnant, but am also paranoid something is going to go wrong. I'm hoping the doppler gives me some reassurance.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Thai food!!
I love seeing that so many of you are getting close to the 2nd trimester!!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? announcing to family this weekend! Then my next u/s the first week of April!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: feeling good today, hoping it lasts but not very optimistic. It's literally been every other day with the god awful morning sickness
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) I just love food (usually), so it depends on the day. Right now I'm feeling Thai, maybe Japanese. And always Mexican. Always.
It's a boy!
The morning sickness that kicked in has subsided some which is great. Looking forward to moving to 2nd tri with you ladies where we're all (hopefully) feeling better!!
German, Sushi and Tex-Mex, probably... although these days I'm on the french fry diet like @anna.oskar
Fingers crossed for strong heartbeats, great ultrasound pictures and good test results for all the ladies still waiting... and of course I hope everyone starts feeling better soon!

First ultrasound 2/19 - one baby with a heart rate of 127! EDD 10/11/2016
I'm so relieved for my apt/US today. Baby is measuring on track at 11 weeks and heart rate and movements were good.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? The results from my harmony test. Should find out in less than 10 days!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: morning sickness seems to be going away! Hope it's not just a tease.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.)
Most Asian foods.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Hitting the 12-week mark tomorrow and my NT scan on Friday.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm really hoping the ultrasound goes well on Friday. My husband has been kind of wary about getting attached to this pregnancy, but today he actually said goodbye to my stomach when I left for work. It was so sweet, I just don't want anything bad to happen this time.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.)
I don't know if I can pick a favorite! I love food, especially trying things I've never had before and/or can't pronounce.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My NT scan on 4/14 after I have just entered the 2nd tri!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Got my Sonoline B Doppler last week and have found the HB each time. SOO reassuring! ♥
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) I'm definitely a foody, so this is tough, but top favs are Japanese, Vietnamese, Mexican and BBQ anything. YUM!!!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My next u/s is another six weeks away, but I can't wait to see our little man--that's right, we found out this week (MAJOR milestone!) that it's a boy!!! Hooray for cfDNA testing!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: We started listening to the heartbeat with a doppler this weekend and recorded it, it's my favorite sound. And, um, did I mention IT'S A BOY! I really thought it was going to be a girl, and I can't believe I get to bring a baby boy into the world who can grow up to be a man like DH...I'm so overjoyed I can't even wipe this giant grin off my face! We also started telling more people (not FB-public but most friends, family, colleagues) and it's so fun to experience the outpouring of love and support. Plus my miserable nausea has eased up, so I'm basically walking on a cloud right now!
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) Now that I can eat fairly normally again--everything! But I'll always have a soft spot for good Thai, Italian, Mexican (especially tamales--mmmm)...on second thought, it's really just everything. I'm a little monster.

DD 3: 9-16-17
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? NT ultrasound, hopefully next week if my insurance will hurry up with the referral. Any chance to see the baby and be reassured by a healthy heartbeat, I'm happy.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Feeling sad today... it's supposed to be my son's due date.
4. GTKY: What's your favorite kind of food? (i.e. Italian, Mexican, etc.) All food. I LOVE ALL FOOD. Is buffet food a reasonable answer? Not like hometown buffet, but like high end vegas buffet where you can get anything imaginable.
