peachy13

1. How far along are you? 13 weeks, a peach!
2. How are you feeling? good.. symptoms are really slowing down and I'm feeling more like myself everyday
3. Do you have a sex yet? nope.. waiting until the 18-20 week ultrasound. "July" seemed so far away but now it's only next month.
4. Have you announced? Yes, to all friends/family, and I'm slowly sharing at work. We're not doing a social media announcement though.
5. Rants/raves/questions? Sorry to post this everywhere (in PGAL and FTW check-in), but is anyone using an at-home doppler? I was able to find the heartbeat just fine in the last few days and then couldn't find it this morning. It has me worried but I know not to totally freak out. I will check when I get home, and then I really need to put this thing away and not use it so much.
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Wizard of Oz, Sound of Music, Mary Poppins, on repeat.

ETA: Update regarding the at-home doppler. I found the heartbeat without any problem last night after I got home from work. I read somewhere (or one of you told me) that a full stomach/bladder helps. After hearing it, I vowed to put it away for a while! Thanks everyone for your support.

1. How far along are you? 11 weeks - size of a brussels sprout
2. How are you feeling? Still tired often which is making me very easily agitated. Which has been rough with the LO and I've been feeling a lot of mom guilt for being on the verge of annoyed constantly.
3. Do you have a sex yet? Not until the anatomy scan
4. Have you announced? Our mothers both have known for a few weeks. I was called out at a wedding this weekend. I had intended on just telling a few close friends but now most of my friends that were there know. We have slowly started telling family members as we see them organically. No big formal announcement yet though.
5. Rants/raves/questions? None this week
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Now and Then

1. How far along are you?  12 weeks, the size of a plum
2. How are you feeling? Sore boobs, still not sleeping well, some food aversions (steak is the worst!)
3. Do you have a sex yet? No, genetic testing in scheduled for 6/7, planning a gender reveal for 6/17
4. Have you announced? Family knew at Easter, we are slowly starting to tell other people.  No Facebook announcement until 20ish weeks.  
5. Rants/raves/questions?  None this week
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger?  Beetlejuice, Bambi and Wizard of Oz

peachy13  - we use our doppler almost every day.  It's kind of an obsession now.  **TW** due to our loss at 10 weeks and not finding out until 13 weeks, we want to make sure that baby is still cooking in there.  We found that this little one likes to run and hide...that's probably all it is for you too.  Playing hide and seek already!

1. How far along are you? 12 weeks! 

2. How are you feeling? Anxious for my doc appt on Monday and waiting the results of the blood test! Other than that, food aversions have been my biggest pain the past couple of weeks. If I could survive without eating, I would which is so weird for me to say because I love food, just not while preganant I guess. Hope it subsides soon. 

3. Do you have a sex yet? Not yet, we'll find out Monday
4. Have you announced? To family and close friends. Waiting to announce to the world for another 2 weeks or so. 
5. Rants/raves/questions? I've toyed with the idea of getting an at home doooler but I feel like it would drive me crazy if I couldn't find the heartbeat every time. Thoughts on whether it's worth it?

6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Little mermaid, Beauty and the Beast and Fern Gully! 

cait5413

1. How far along are you? 11 weeks
2. How are you feeling? eh. Some heartburn/indigestion, some nausea, some gas. Ready for the 2nd tri energy bump!
3. Do you have a sex yet? Nope. We'll wait for the 20 week u/s. I'd be team green, but DH has to know
4. Have you announced? Only to our parents. Will probably tell some close friends soon
5. Rants/raves/questions?
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Escape to Witch Mountain, The Watcher in the Woods (as an older kid), the Care Bears

@peachy13 No in-home doppler. I think it would just give me more anxiety. DD used to run from the doppler in appointments, which was stressful enough. It would take the nurses a while to find her sometimes, which would always stress me out. If I was doing it, I am sure it would be worse.

@holzie-2 thank you!

1. How far along are you? 13 weeks - size of a lemon!
2. How are you feeling? About the same as last week - I have good moments and bad moments. 
3. Do you have a sex yet?  We had our NT scan today - both the tech and doctor guessed BOY - which was a huge shock. But we were also told don't go buy anything blue just yet. We did the Panorama test today as well - so confirmed results next week.
4. Have you announced? Yes
5. Rants/raves/questions? Just loved seeing the baby today - measurements all looked great which was the best news of all.
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Like @cait5413 Little Mermaid and Beauty and the Beast, and oh how I loved Care Bears!

disneyfan0511

@peachy13 we have a home doppler - I have a hard time finding the little one if my bladder is too full (not sure why) but if I go to the bathroom I can usually come back and find the little one - sometimes it takes a while. Yesterday I couldn't find the baby at all in the morning, but tried again in the afternoon and was able to. It's so hard not to worry - totally understand! 

peachy13

@disneyfan0511 thanks! that's reassuring.

I'm technically a Tuesday... but since there are so few of us I thought I'd pop over to Wednesday for some company... I hope yall dont mind
1. How far along are you? 10 weeks
2. How are you feeling? Just tired and sore boobs, some food aversions (I definitely know what I dont want)
3. Do you have a sex yet? Just did the blood draw for genetics testing! Should know in a week or so! 
4. Have you announced? Just to parents and absolute closest friends... we will probably tell more friends after genetics come back, and then Facebook after our 14 week appointment. 
5. Rants/raves/questions? I had an appointment today and everything looked good! Although my rant is that the U/S machine my Dr. uses gives off terrible picture quality. He did mention that I was difficult to image, but when we went to the radiologist the picture was so much clearer. I think its his machine. The quality was almost laughable... "uh sure doc we see that fuzzy blob....and can sort of make out the flicker of heart beat" I guess he's used to looking at low quality images.... If he says everything looks fine, then I believe him. I'll just be glad to get the good machinery for the Anatomy scan. 
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Any Mary Kate and Ashley movie.... 

cait5413

@abcola with my DD, we moved in the middle of my pregnancy. The u/s at my old doc were so clear. The ones here are much fuzzier. I hope they do the 20 week scan with a better machine!

abcola

@cait5413 apparently we go to the OB radiologist for the Anatomy scan (actually at 18 weeks for my dr.) so I will be really glad to get some better equipment! It was just laughable... especially after seeing the quality of the better machine... although that costs $250 and now we've had 2 due to a SCH... so I'll take a 'free' fuzzy picture and a Dr. saying "Everything looks fine"... He also mentioned that I've just been difficult to image, so maybe that is it as well...

1. How far along are you? 
10 weeks but I'm definitely already showing. Baby #2 lol 
2. How are you feeling?
Feeling pretty good, but still really tired. The Diclegis my doc prescribed has definitely helped with the constant nausea. Thank GOD lol
3. Do you have a sex yet?
Not yet. We opted out of the early screenings so we won't know until the 18 week anatomy scan. 
4. Have you announced? 
Weve told family and some friends. I work at a gym so a lot of people there know because A) they need to be aware that I'm in a different physical state than usual and I'm definitely showing a little and it's hard to hide in gym clothes
5. Rants/raves/questions?
Here's my rant. Dear people whose opinions don't matter to me,
Please stop telling me things like "Oh I bet you're so happy that your son won't be an only child like you were". I had a perfectly lovely childhood and I don't remember ever wishing I had a sibling, at least not seriously. I know a lot of people who INTENTIONALLY only have one child and that's what is best for their family. Our decision to have another child was solely based on the fact that we WANTED to. Not wanting an only child wasn't a factor. I feel like it takes away from the validity of my childhood when people say things like that. Ok. End rant lol
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger?
I wore out a VHS of The Princess Bride when I was a kid. It's still my favorite movie

andipandicWed121369

1. How far along are you? 13 weeks.  Yay peach!
2. How are you feeling? Better but still have some issues in the afternoon or late morning.  I went in late to work today because my stomach was just a big old mess.  New food aversion is olives which makes me so sad.  Goodbye Greek salads.  
3. Do you have a sex yet? No, not until end of July.  I think we're going to let our daughter find out at the appt and then tell everyone somehow cute.
4. Have you announced? To close friends, my work peeps and my family.  My sister is making my lo a tshirt so we'll do a fun social media announcement in another few weeks.
5. Rants/raves/questions?  I've had two losses in May so I will be overjoyed to see the end of this month.  Bring on June!
6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger? Carebears for sure.  I can still sing all the songs!

1. How far along are you?  11 weeks. I can't believe it, where has the last 5 weeks gone?! 

2. How are you feeling?
Still pretty tired, but I feel like maybe my energy is slowly starting to return. I am extremely moody. I'm not sleeping long at night, although I feel like I've been sleeping better. I don't know if it's in my head but I feel like my uterus is twitching and pulling and fluttering.  I know it's not baby kicks, but I feel like there may be some room being made. I also don't have much of an appetite. No real aversions, just don't feel overly hungry. 

3. Do you have a sex yet?
No not yet. 

4. Have you announced? 
Ugh, this has been the driving me crazy. I announced it to my 2 cousins who are like sisters to me. We announced it to our mom's on mother's day. They are the ones that are going crazy with us not telling everyone. My mom was all offended that a couple of my cousin's knew but her mom didn't - how could I possibly tell my best friends before my grandma I'm not that close to?! I told a few people at work b/c of how fatigued I was, I really wasn't myself. I'll announce next week at work. Honestly, I almost want to find a meme and post on facebook - just so no one is the last to know, you can all find out together, at the same time here - i'm pregnant.
 
5. Rants/raves/questions?
Rant. Without going into too much detail my doctor really struck a nerve with me this week. It was my first appointment. I was super excited, however, I was working on 4.5 hours of sleep and had work stress on my mind, I was at my witts end. Her and I didn't seem to connect. I feel like there was a lot of condescension and her trying to project things on me I don't think are there.. ugh if doctors weren't so hard to find in my area I'd probably be looking for a new one. 

What was your first pregnancy visit like with your doctor?

6. GTKY: What movie(s) do you remember watching over and over when you were younger?
I didn't have a lot of movies as a kid. I remember watching Alice in Wonderland, which I didn't get at the time but LOVE now. I'm doing the baby's room in Alice in Wonderland!

2. How are you feeling? I'm feeling pretty good, but the doctor put me back on Metformin and that has been messing with my digestive system  
3. Do you have a sex yet? Nope, not until the end of July.
4. Have you announced? In person, yes - not all of my coworkers know but I plan to announce at the staff luncheon on Friday. Social media announcement might be this weekend, it depends on when we get the picture taken. We told DS last weekend.
5. Rants/raves/questions? Meh, not really
