    1. How far along are you? 13w1d

    2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? May 14th. We scheduled an elective scan to find out if we're having a boy or girl. It will be so nice to refer to Peanut as "him" or "her" instead of "it"!! Also, this Thursday at 13w4d, I will be officially calling it, and will be saying I'm in the second tri!!

    3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Rave: We had a very positive NT scan last week Friday!! We saw Peanut jumping around like crazy, and all of the measurements looked good and normal. We felt so relieved and positive afterwards that we decided to officially announce!! It was a lot of fun. Rant: The doctor said the nausea and exhaustion should be going away soon. Can it please go away asap!!? I can still sleep all day and would love some energy to start cleaning the house again.

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure TV show? So hard to limit it to just one...Currently Teen Mom 2. I've also been watching reruns of 16 and Pregnant.

    @MRSCORKER I'm so sorry about the comment your MIL made. I have a similar situation with my mother's husband. He drinks pretty much everyday and thinks he's fine to drive (he's almost 80 and has become a horrible driver even while sober). I have been refusing to get in the car with him forever when he's been drinking, but about 2 years ago I made a decision to not get in the car with him at all anymore after he went through a few red lights and went the wrong way down a one way street. My Mom has not supported me on this and said I'm overreacting. Whatever, at least I'll be alive and overreacting. My Mom has been bringing up constantly that they can come to DC and watch our child every so often while we work. That's a hard no. I told my Mom a week or so ago that we will not be leaving Peanut alone with my Mom and her husband as we don't trust her to not allow him to drive our child around. She was upset, but I figure she has 6 months to accept it. This past weekend she surprised me and told me that we have to do what we feel is right. I greatly appreciate her respecting the boundaries. Anyway, I'm saying all of this to tell you that maybe your husband should talk to his Mom sooner rather than later. Give her time to be upset and accept it before your child arrives.

    @AllyTheKid So excited to have a sex drive back! We finally did it yesterday too and I realized that certain positions are out because this little bump gets in the way or gets smushed. Time to get creative!


    Dang it, stuck in the bubble, yeah we have to switch it up a bit too, but there wasn't too much of a change as of yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed myself ;)

    @Pupatella Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you're having to deal with that. My MIL is toxic and I've mostly cut her out of my life and my mother isn't supportive about it either. She says it's "wrong" to do that to family. I'm glad your mother seems to have come around though. 

    @MRSCORKER @AllyTheKid I'm so jealous. Lol. My sex drive finally came back too but I'm just not enjoying sex at all. It's really uncomfortable, no matter how worked up I am beforehand. I can't figure out if it's in my head of if I'm just sensitive.

    @krzyriver could be a bit of both, give it some more time and don't stop trying unless it just gets too painful, it's taken me forever to get back into, but yesterday was great :)

    @krzyriver I was super into it and ready to go and still needed lube to make it more comfortable. We had done it a few times since getting pregnant but I was too in my head and wasn't enjoying it either so they were just quickies. I hope it gets better for you!

    So many teen mom and 16 & pregnant fans! I caught a few mins of 16& pregnant last week and it made be stabby. The girl was not the brightest crayon in the box and was such a teenager. Basically treated her baby like a dog that you could come home to feed and take for a walk a couple of times a day. It was maddening.

    @MRSCORKER @AllyTheKid Thanks ladies. I probably just need to get used to again. I still have some of that preseed stashed somewhere. Maybe I'll pull that out next time. Lol

    @RainMira9e My husband I watch Arrow. I can't stand it anymore though. We watch almost everything together, but my husband doesn't talk TV shows much either, which is super frustrating because I'm a writer so I love analyze characters and storylines! 

    @zuzu87 My nausea keeps creeping up on me too. I thought we were supposed to be done with that by now! Lol

    I got really mad about it! She didn't carry him for 40+ weeks, she didn't have a csection and deal with that recovery, she wasn't up all hours of the night with him. I was. My baby. Not yours.

    1. How far along are you? 17 weeks tomorrow!

    2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? The next ultrasound, which I'm hoping will be at our next pre-natal appointment. We just got our Informaseq results back this morning and found out we're having a girl (!!), and that genetically everything looks good (at least for the three they tested for), so I'm excited to see her again now that she's grown and we know more about her.

    3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: A few raves - First, I'm so so so glad to be out of the first trimester and out of the cold/flu I had, then the stomach virus I had.  This weekend I actually felt like my old self again and we got so much done around the house. I'm also pretty proud of my husband who has been a reach champ listening to me complain all the time and who goes above and beyond to try to make me comfortable and feel like I'm still being treated and taken care of. 

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure TV show? Um...all of them? No, really. I love everything from The Real Housewives, to Teen Mom, to Pretty Little Liars, to the Bachelor/Bachelorette...it's bad. I mean, I like GOOD tv shows too! I just can't get enough of the bad ones!

    Yes! My step-mom slipped and said it the other day and I responded with "We're your babies, this one is my baby". She meant no harm and wasn't trying to lay claim the way MIL is but I wanted to be clear that that doesn't sit well with me so that she doesn't say it again.

    3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: As much as I appreciate the support we do have, I've been getting pretty irritated with people too, especially my in-laws. Like, people trying to claim this baby...I get that they love MH and me and are happy that this could be our take-home baby but I get a little crazy-feeling when anyone starts talking about OUR baby being "our baby" and all the things they think "we" are going to do to/with her (NO, my infant daughter will not be named Princess or Chanel, nor will anyone be piercing her ears until she's old enough to decide for herself). Wtf man

    @UponAStar16 What is with people staking a claim on other peoples babies?! I didn't know this was a thing until I became pregnant. It's maddening and I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks so. When it first happened, I felt ragey and then wondered if I was being hormonal and possessive. NOPE! This is NO ONES baby but mine and DH.

    1. How far along are you? 15W3D

    2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?  I start my 17-P shots at 16 weeks, so just a few more days.  I'm hoping it will put my mind at ease.

    3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Last week at my cervical measurement check, my doctor decided to do a cerclage immediately.  So, I literally had one day to figure out if I wanted a vaginal or an abdominal.  Although, the success rate is 5% or so higher with the abdominal, I went with vaginal.  Abdominal would have put me on immediate bed rest.  Without my income, we would struggle hard.  I may end up on bed rest with this one anyway, doctor already told us to be prepared for it.  After the procedure, I spent almost 3 days on the couch and now I can feel the pulling an stretching inside.  But, I am glad that doc threw it in quickly to prevent any complications.  I hate that I can't enjoy this pregnancy, and instead worry about every twinge in my body.  

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure TV show?  When it is airing, I love Married at First Sight.  I really don't watch much television.  When I do, it's either The Walking Dead, Bates Motel, or Hell's Kitchen.

    @MRSCORKER @PeggyOlsonFTW  I totally see where you guys are coming from,  i on the other hand dont really get offended when my family or friends say it. I just think of them being super supportive and loving my baby as much as they love their own. Maybe the way/tone in which your relatives are saying it? some of my close friends say it in a caring but joking manner. Maybe thats why i dont get offended.

    I can't put my finger on why it bugs me. I know that it is generally said out of love (accept for my MIL who is legit trying to plant her flag on this baby's forehead), it just irks me. Maybe part of me thinks that everyone who sees this baby as partly "theirs" will think they have a say in how it's raised, fed, where it sleeps, how it's dressed, where we take it, etc. etc. It's also a little bit of me being posessive but I oh well. We made it, I'm growing it, it's mine. lol

    I get the being offended for sure -- heck, I got offended at the THOUGHT of my MIL picking out baby's coming home outfit (not the act, or even asking if she should do it -- just the thought.)  I generally think it's silly to blame things on mama bear hormones, but .  .  . I think this one's mama bear hormones all the way.

    @MRSCORKERIt never really bothered me, but I get what you're saying. People often get that idea in their head, that they have some say in how you're going to raise your child. That enrages me, and it must be especially frustrating if it's coming from a person that you don't have a lot of respect for or want around your child all that often. Hopefully your husband will be able to find a way to get through to her.

    @simcal18 My doctor said 18 weeks was fine, but they don't do the ultrasounds in her office. I had to call the hospital to make the appointment, and they changed their policy. They don't do anatomy scans before 20 weeks anymore because too many women came in at 18 weeks and then had to come back later and redo them. I guess they have less of a problem with that if they make everyone come in at 20 weeks. Four weeks isn't too much longer of a wait, but I wasn't expecting to wait that long so I'm bummed.

    @krzyriver That's interesting.  I'm almost wondering if we should reschedule ours.  They booked us for 17 + 6 (so SUPER early) because we are heading to Paris two days afterwards and they wanted use the scan as one final check-in before we made the trip.  But part of me was wondering if going so early could lead to inconclusive results that could cause us to worry throughout our trip (or maybe not go at all).  We're getting another ultrasound three weeks beforehand as a placenta check before a flight to Florida, so it won't have been THAT long since we've had an ultrasound, and if doing our anatomy scan that early is going to lead to uncertainty and stress I'm questioning if maybe we should just wait.

    1. How far along are you? 17w 1d

    2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? We have an early anatomy scan with the perinatologist tomorrow. We're on the fence as to whether or not we will find out the sex. It's entirely my decision and i'm not sure if i want to know.

    3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Physically, I feel really good. A bit of round ligament pain, but overall really good. My sex drive is starting to come back, so that's always a good thing, but sex has been uncomfortable. Are there any lubes that are off limits or better than others? I meant to ask my OB, but I forgot. I've been under a lot of stress/anxiety lately for a few different reason, so i'm just trying to stay calm as much as possible. I need to try to find something that will give me some comfort. Unfortunately that's proving to be difficult and i've kinda been retreating into myself, which i know is bad. Perhaps finding out the sex will be something positive I can ride for a while to get through this. We'll see.

    4. GTKY: What's your favorite guilty pleasure TV show? I relive my childhood years by watch Girl Meets World on the Disney channel. Silly mindless 20 mins of me time.
