This is a weekly check in for people who are due the second week of May 5/6-5/12. Shamelessly stealing from @bwow615 
How far along are you? When is your due date?
Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green?

We did through our NIPT and it's a boy! I was pretty convinced of that anyway.

I keep thinking my nausea is finally leaving but then it pops back up again. I had actually gone back to taking 2 pills of Diclectin instead of 1 because I was still feeling pretty off, but then I was soooo tired and basically slept all weekend so I'm back to 1 so I can make it through my work week. Definitely noticing a lot more RLP lately, which I am mostly not worried about except that every time I mention my belly being sore to MH or my mom they seem all paranoid that it's actually cramping and that spreads to me :P
I am so so happy because I was supposed to have my 16 week ultrasound this Friday, and MH was going to be away, but I called this morning and they were able to move it up to tomorrow afternoon so he can come!! I am v v v stressed about this scan due to our increased NT, so I'm really glad I'll have his emotional support. I'm also happy his work trip got shortened a bit so he is only going for 12 days instead of 16, and he gets his "break" day at home instead of across the country. Altogether some good news on that stuff recently.
But yeah still so scared about that scan tomorrow. But I'm also looking forward to it, because if it looks normal then that means that the increased NT is much less of a worry. Just please please let it be normal.
Longest update ever woo :P

Hmm tough call but I'd probably have to say A Christmas Story. We watch it as a family as a tradition usually on Christmas eve, or at least some time over the holidays. It used to be Love Actually but lately when I watch it I have trouble not thinking of what creeps so many of the guys are

15+5 due May 9th

We are finding out and hopefully will know by next week with genetic testing.

Juat excited for the holidays and time off. @thunderberry I still get some nausea too, mostly after eating instead of all day.

Not yet, hopefully we'll find out at the Anatomy Scan on 12/20

My PGAL brain is going crazy. I'm having terrible feelings that something will be wrong at my appointment on Monday. It's similar to what I wrote last week, I'm in that weird in-between phase where I'm not having the nausea, and I'm still not feeling the baby move, so I'm just not "feeling" pregnant right now. It's so much worse because with my first pregnancy I worked in the ER, so I could use the doppler or ultrasound whenever I felt like it, and I was followed so closely by my doctors because of having twins, so I had tons of appointments and ultrasounds. And this time it's like, nothing. I've only had two appointments, had one super quick ultrasound at the first appointment (only because the midwife is awesome) and heard the heartbeat once at the second appointment. So I'm still not feeling *connected* to the baby. Add to that, so much of my time and energy is still being focused on my daughters, so I don't have the quiet, peaceful times to talk to the baby, and hold my belly and do all that stuff I did with the girls. I guess that's my rant? My rave is I went shopping on Saturday and bought two pairs of work pants, two pairs of jeans, and a dress for MH's cousin's wedding in two weeks, all for $160 at Motherhood Maternity. I wasn't going to get a maternity dress for the wedding, but it was only $50 and you can't even buy a non-maternity formal dress for that cheap! Pic in spoiler.
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, hands down. It gets funnier every time I watch it.

I have anxieties too although I can't compare to PgAL ladies but I do try to tell myself the risk of miscarriage at this point is so low. I know that doesn't always help though.
And my scan is 12/18! I wish it wasn't so far away. I want to know baby is all healthy and so excited to see a cute little baby instead of a blob.
@sandbar517 I don't "feel" pregnant either and that also gives me anxiety. But I'm so sorry you are having such terrible feelings. I hope everything goes great at your Monday appointment and some of your worries can lessen.
How far along are you? When is your due date?
16 weeks. May 6/7 (doctor says 6, temping says 7). Size of a Philippine tarsier
Did you find out the sex of LO yet? If not, are you planning to find out or are you team green?
Nope. We don't find out until our anatomy scan on Dec 21. Just in time for Christmas. Also, I am so far from team green it's ridiculous ha.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Any upcoming appointments?
So much bloat...so that's fun. My next OB appointment is next Tuesday and I'm a little/lottle nervous so I'm glad it's soon-ish. We just started telling people and it's been a mix of fun and sort of weird.

Hm. I'm gonna go with It's a Wonderful Life.

Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green?
We haven't found out yet but I want to see if we can find out at my next appointment on the 27th. I feel like 16.5 weeks should be far enough along to see the sexes.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Any upcoming appointments?
Nothing much. Hubby is a retail manager so he has to work on Thanksgiving. This means that we'll probably be having thanksgiving at a diner. No point in cooking all morning when he has to go in to work at 1pm.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
Hmm...I can't think of any holiday movies I like right now. Drawing a complete blank haha. I'll pop back in if i can think of one.
-15+6
-Team green
-I am just exhausted, and our little guy has been such a handful lately that I'm thinking we are crazy having 2 under 2 come May.
-my next appointment is next week and is just a routine check-up. Like others, I am currently not feeling very pregnant as far as not feeling kicks, etc. I'm looking forward to hearing the little heartbeat again
-i have to go with home alone! The original!
@sandbar517 love the dress! I'm looking for a holiday one so maybe I'll check that store out!
Also, it is a tough in between state for sure but like @charlestonchew mentioned, try to focus on the fact that the stats are in your favour and try to keep busy until your next appointment.
Sounds like we are all stuck in the middle of 1st and 2nd trimester with eithrr ongoing symptoms or no pregnancy feelings, and gaps between appointments. Hang in there ladies!!
How far along are you? When is your due date?
-15 weeks, 2 days. Due May 12th.
Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green?
- no we are team green. Although I'm starting to get really curious!
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Any upcoming appointments?
-I just had part 2 of my genetic screening blood test. Going to have to wait a week or so for those results so I'm a bit nervous. I've been stuck with a cold for about 2 weeks now. Thought I was finally better yesterday but woke up with a full on cold again. What. The. Hell.
I have a midwife check in on Dec. 7th so I'm hoping to hear the heartbeat again.
Next ultrasound isn't until Dec. 21.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
-this isn't a holiday movie but my favourite all time movie is The Sound of Music and they play it every year at Christmas so I'm counting it lol
DH vetoed a sex check ultrasound this week so we're waiting another three weeks or so til the A/S.
I can feel movement but it's very different than my two previous pregnancies. They were both pretty active early on, lots of pops and flutters. This is just shifting, it feels like.
Regular appointment next week.
My favorite Christmas movie... toss up between Muppet Christmas Carol and Rudolph.

I’m just super excited to eat a ton of food on thanksgiving!! I bought 5lb of cheese for two of the dishes I’m making. Awww yeah cheese.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
I don’t have one!
@thunderberry good luck at the scan!

@thunderberry right there with ya! I am on at least two zofran a day. But, I feel like it only does so much. And it makes me so *TMI* constipated that I can barely eat anything anyway. My doctor suggested medical leave from work, since my nausea is exacerbated by my work days and worse at night. I'm tempted to take the leave.
How far along are you? When is your due date? 16w1d EDD 5/6
Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green? Team green! But, excited for all of you ladies who found out or are finding out soon. In my head, baby is a girl. But, I know that doesn't actually mean anything other than that maybe I subconsciously want a girl lol.
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves? Any upcoming appointments? Per usual...broken record over here. So nauseous and pukey (yes this word has entered my vocab). Add on headaches and constipation....plus what I swear is a looming UTI. I really should get back to going to the gym again...considering just taking a shower gets me out of breath.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
Hmmmm this is really tough. I like Home Alone.... I also think Four Christmases is hilarious.
Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green?
We have not decided if we are going to find out or not. We didn’t find out with DS and it was a fun surprise. We have until 12/19 to decide.

Looking forward to the long weekend for Thanksgiving, but wishing I could just stay home instead of spending 2 Days with my family and 2 Days with the in laws. I have an appointment tomorrow and bringing my 2 year old with me. He points to his heart and makes the “lub dub” sound since playing with my stethoscope at work so thinking he will be excited to hear baby’s (or could be a nightmare because he is 2?)
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
I Love Elf and Christmas Vacation. I also enjoy the Holiday but watch that year round.
Good luck!
P.S. I also subconsciously want a girl and I'm team green too. I'm guessing I'll be analyzing all the signs/myths that lead to a certain sex but I don't want to be that kinda person haha.
16 weeks
Due May 8th
Did you find out the sex of LO yet, if not are you planning to find out or are you team green?
Not yet but we find out the 12th!
What's going on this week? How are you feeling, any rants or raves?
I feel great and I have been feeling baby kick so that's exciting!
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
Hmm...I can't think of any holiday movies I like
Thanks everyone for the good luck wishes, it worked cause we had the scan and everything looked perfect! yay
Still have to go through the 20 week scan before we can be really comfortable, but I'm feeling a lot better that we can rule out some major issues.
@kpc914 sounds to me like you'd be pretty well justified in taking that leave until things get better! Sorry you still feel so crappy. I am relieved I'm actually really feeling better the last couple days (knock on wood) so I'm hoping things finally are on a real upswing.
@sandbar517 That dress is adorable!! I feel you on the not feeling quite connected/confident, I am dying to start feeling movement so I can get some daily reassurance that he's still living in there. Although once I do start feeling it I'll probably just get paranoid every time it stops, so really you can't win.
@charlestonchew oooh I love the original Grinch too! I think we are going to incorporate it into the social media pregnancy announcement we plan to do around Christmas.
@sandbar517 the dress is super cute! I bought a couple maternity dresses for a wedding early January but now I'm wondering what I'll even wear since I'm still not even showing!

Feeling baby flutter thankfully because not showing much is in my head. Regular appt on Monday. I think I will be scheduling my c-section at that apt which will make it feel super real and give us an official "deadline."
Annoyed that i don't have any cravings. Most food doesn't even sound appetizing or even taste that good.
GTKY: What is your favorite holiday/christmas movie?
Anything cheesy on Hallmark
I don’t have a real bump yet, but am definitely a little wider. I’m hoping I can fit into my regular dresses for a Christmas party I have in 3 weeks.
