Since it took me so long to post this, I'll go ahead and answer my own questions right away.

1.  What's new this week?  Any appointments or tests?
We had our anatomy scan on Wednesday.  We are having a boy!!!!!!!  Thankfully everything else they looked at checked out well.  Little guy is 11oz.  

2.  What are your favorite healthy habits you've been trying to stick with?
I had been trying to have Greek yogurt for snack every day.  I don't eat a ton of meat, so I'm trying to get that protein in.
I've been pretty good about keeping up with running, but I'd like to fit in weights or yoga more.  

3.  Any Mother's Day plans?  
(If you're not in the US, when is your Mother's Day?)
Hoping we can go start our registry.

1) my amnio was Thursday and I should be getting results on Monday with a follow up at my ob Tuesday. Feeling pretty down right now. 

2) been working out pretty regularly, this week ifornofd track with the amnio, I was on bed rest day of and I'm still kinda nervous. I'm going to pick back up Monday hopefully. 

3) looking for a quiet day with DH and my boys. We may go to brunch together and I want to plant flowers in the afternoon.

1.  What's new this week?  Any appointments or tests? I have a routine appt this Wednesday. I'm trying to figure out a way to have him take a peek at the baby on the ultrasound machine. I keep thinking I'm feeling baby but would love to see him or her moving around. Plus I want to make sure I'm not having twins because I feel like everything is happening sooner (ligament pains, swollen feet, etc) -- they only saw one at the 8 week scan but you never know!

2.  What are your favorite healthy habits you've been trying to stick with? I have to eat a low carb diabetic diet during pregnancy so, it stinks but I'll do what I need to do. I've also been walking or T-tapping every day. 

3.  Any Mother's Day plans? My husband and the older kids are making my favorite (allowable) foods and I'm hoping to do nothing, lol. I'm hoping he might take the kids on a hike or something so I can have a bit of alone time. 

@KDeola Are you feeling down about the amnio or the bed rest or both? Why are you on bed rest? Feel free not to answer if my questions are too personal!

KDeola

@KSweet I was only on bed rest 24 hrs after the amnio. That's because the chance of miscarriage after is due to your water breaking if you don't let the puncture site heal. I'm sure it's healed now and I had no cramping or anything. I am feeling really down, I'm having a hard time staying positive and almost dreading results

KSweet

@KDeola I see....I've never had one done. I pray you feel at peace today and that tomorrow you will be relieved with the results.

WRWrunnergirl

@KDeola - I was going to ask the same thing.  Praying all is well with the results!!  Let us know!  

lola4411

@KDeola yup was going to chime in as well. Thinking of you and keep us posted. I am sure everything is fine

1.  What's new this week?  Any appointments or tests?
I'm seeing the CNM at my new OB's office on Wednesday.  This will be my first official visit with them, so I hope it goes well.  This will also be my SO's first prenatal visit, so he's got a lot of questions for the CNM.

2.  What are your favorite healthy habits you've been trying to stick with?
Like @ksweet,  I'm eating a low carb, diabetic diet, which is not so fun.  Though I had a cupcake yesterday as my Mother's Day treat.  I'm doing really well with meal planning and having 5-6 balanced small meals/heavy snacks throughout the day.

3.  Any Mother's Day plans?  
(If you're not in the US, when is your Mother's Day?)
I spent it with my SO and his parents, sister.  They gave me some very cute baby items and a flowering hanging basket, which was sweet.

@KDeola Sending hugs and sunshine - hope everything turns out beautifully.

1.  What's new this week?  Any appointments or tests? Nope. Just got a letter booking our anatomy scan for mid-June. Seems pretty late though.

2.  What are your favorite healthy habits you've been trying to stick with? I've been getting more active and trying to work out at least twice a week, even if it's just shooting hoops with DH at the nearby schoolyard. Also trying to reduce my sugar/carb intake.

3.  Any Mother's Day plans? We didn't do much - called our moms and I got a few texts from friends wishing me a HMD. My mom is visiting us next weekend so we'll take her out to dinner at some point.
