How big is baby? pomegranate 

Appointment updates? next appt is the anatomy scan on the 24th

Any new symptoms or changes?  I have been sick for a week now and it is impacting my asthma. I'm in the process of trying to figure out who treats that during pregnancy, OB or PCP? I want to make sure I am on top of it in case it starts getting worse. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? We have had family here for the past two weeks, and it was so much fun. My parents left this morning and I was a blubbering mess. I am so envious of you ladies that have family close by!

GTKY: Share your highs and lows of 2016, what are your expectations for 2017? 
TW... low was definitely my miscarriage and d&c
High would be moving into our brand new house and getting pregnant with this baby girl.
I am very excited for 2017 and to become parents. I think it will be a challenging year, but a great one for our growing family.

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

GTKY: Share your highs and lows of 2016, what are your expectations for 2017? Highs & lows for 2016 would be loosing my dad and then getting pregnant. My expectations for 2017 is to have an easy labor in June & enjoying being a first time mom (yes I know it's not all glitter & rainbows).

How big is baby? A sugar glider (ovia, they are just more fun!) 

Appointment updates? They were finally able to schedule me for my AS, my cutoff date according to my due date was the 24th... they scheduled me for the 23rd. My only issue was at my last US the baby measured earlier than my due date. I'm just hoping this doesn't mess with results. I have a ob appointment before then so hopefully they will fix it if it would. 

Any new symptoms or changes?  same ol' same ol' lately. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

GTKY: Share your highs and lows of 2016, what are your expectations for 2017? my low was losing my beloved pet pretty tragically. My highs were my husband coming home from deployment & of course getting pregnant! -- for 2017 I just really hope for smooth sailings... easy labor, easy fourth trimester and my kids adjusting to the new baby.

@MKRLTX I'm not even allowed to see my pcp while pregnant, my ob/midwive handles all care until my 6week follow up appointment after the birth then they turn me back over to my pcp.

mkrel

@beckij34 sorry about your Dad

@keniialise My OBs nurse just got back to me and said to see my PCP, which surprised me. I am just wondering if my PCP will even be comfortable treating me during pregnancy, but I guess I will find out. They did say if he prescribes anything new to check with them.
And sorry about your pet!! I wish the people and animals we loved could be around forever.

Nothing new. Just still on the verge of puking upon rising or doing anything that fully engages my core (like putting DD in or out of her car seat)

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
Rant: Teething molars can suck it!! DDs face is super swollen and she's so uncomfortable. It breaks my heart!! But I will take allllll the extra cuddles

Appointment updates? Quick appointment today because of a UTI, but got to hear a strong heartbeat. Anatomy scan at the end of the month. 

Any new symptoms or changes?  UTI aside, I'm feeling a lot better and really hope it sticks.

GTKY: Share your highs and lows of 2016, what are your expectations for 2017? 
Highs of 2016 were my daughter's first birthday and becoming pregnant again. I honestly can't think of any lows. I expect 2017 to be a lot of chaotic fun with 2 little ones.

How big is baby? Navel orange

Appointment updates? Just had one this morning (Wednesday). Regular heart beat and "How's everything going" appointment. With DS, they had a hard time finding him with the doppler so I got to see him on US which was awesome! Was sorta hoping for that this time around, too. Brought DS (18 months) to today's appointment, big mistake! He was screaming bloody murder when the midwife was trying to find the baby on doppler. DH had to take him out of the room. Also, only gained 5lbs since my first appointment  (at 9 weeks) which was a lot less than I had expected to have gained. Midwife seemed okay with it, too, even though my BMI is overweight and she only wants me to gain 15-25lbs total. 

Any new symptoms or changes?  Nausea is mostly gone and exhaustion is still there but a million times better! Having gas issues

Rants/Raves/Questions? My rant is about pregnancy weight gain. Anyone else doing anything about theirs or just letting it be? I feel like no matter how hard I try, when I'm hungry, I'm HUNGRY and of course all the healthy snacks I buy don't ever look good at all. 

GTKY: Share your highs and lows of 2016, what are your expectations for 2017? Highs were my son's first birthday, all the travelling we did as a family, restarting school and cozying into our new house that we bought at the end of 2015. Lows were health issues in the older family members on DH's and my side of the family.
