katy0990

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
11 weeks, 2 days, so twice as far along as last time!

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
I have felt prefer good the past few days, just tired.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
I feel better after hearing the headache last week on the Doppler. My biggest cause for anxiety has been my 2 year old accidental kicking my belly.

4. Any appointment updates?
 I do not go back until next Thursday. 

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged)
I feel like I need to preface this by saying that I am so incredibly grateful to be pregnant. I have had horrible acne since I was in junior high. I have gone to the dermatologist ever since and been on every topical and oral med known to man, with the exception of accutane. Finally, last year, I tried the acne line by Rodan and Fields.   I was completely shocked when it worked! It has been so nice for the past year feeling somewhat comfortable going out without make up. However, some of the products are not safe during pregnancy, so I had to stop using it. Obviously, I want to baby to be healthy and I don’t regret the decision. But I am breaking out like crazy again and is driving me nuts. I hate being that mom who wears foundation on play dates and to the pool, but if I don’t, I look like I have chicken pox. Ok rant over.
6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
Probably our six month dating anniversary. We went out for a nice steak dinner, which was a really big deal for us at the time and exchanged promise rings. It was a really special evening and it is hard to believe that it has been nine years!

Hollyyyyy

@katy0990 Did you get a Doppler, or did you hear the HB at your appointment?

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
13+6, I made it to second tri!
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
My tiredness is out of control. I actually napped in my car for about an hour yesterday, in the middle of my work day. Everything else seems to be toning it down a bit, though!
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
I haven't had an appt or heard the heartbeat for over 3 weeks, and my next appt isn't for 13 days. Starting to stress a bit. I need to order another Doppler.
4. Any appointment updates?
Nope
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
We are going to begin telling family after my next appointment. I'm terrified. We really need to, though, because I can't keep my stories straight anymore. And I keep agreeing to plans that I know I won't be able to follow through on (a couple of trips and a wine tasting), and it's beginning to stress me out. I need to begin saving my PTO, so I can't go on all these frivolous trips right now, but I'm such a bad liar, that I can't think of a reason to say no, when I'm put on the spot. Good thing they are all out a ways, so I shouldn't be putting anyone out.
6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
I can't think of one in particular. Something that we love to do, is drive out to the beach, and eat at our favorite restaurant, which is on stilts over the water. It's only a little over an hour away, so we do that pretty often. It's a fun little trip, though, and the food is amazing. Now I wish we could do that this weekend!

rosebud332

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
13w3d—- Officially 2nd Tri!

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Feeling good except for some food aversions and a terrible headache yesterday. But feeling better today.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
Good. Just saw the baby last week and I’m hoping to feel some kind of movement soonish.

4. Any appointment updates?
Last Thursday I had a quick appointment with a really quick US, so we saw baby is all good. Nothing now until July.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
I have people from our HOA coming to look at our floors tomorrow to see if they are going to fix them. They are all messed up and it’s vaguely their fault because they refused to clean our gutters (their responsibility) for months after we asked them to and we got water leaked in through our big sliding window as a result. I have a feeling they’re gonna say no and H is gonna be super pissy about it.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
I haven’t been on a whole lot of fancy dates. We are pretty simple going out to dinner type people. My first date with H was pretty good as we unexpectedly (to me) had a lot in common and obviously it went really well! Haha But still it was pretty much just dinner, but still fun.

katy0990

@Hollyyyyy  we just heard  it at the appointment. I forced myself to wait to buy one until after we heard it at the office, since I was worried that if I wasn’t able to find it on my own yet I would stress too much. Now, I am hoping to feel movement in the next few weeks, so I think I am leaning toward not getting one. I change my mind fairly often though, so who knows.

artemis618

@katy0990 I’m sorry about your acne.  My skin’s usually clear but now I get 2-3 new pimples a week, and seem to still have marks from all of them.  I’m excited to get a facial next weekend and hope that helps (I almost never get them - last time was before my wedding because...pictures).  I actually just got a used Doppler off of Craigslist on Monday - wasn’t sure I’d be able to find anything with it this early, but we did last night, so that was novel.  I was also torn on getting one (because of its ability to cause anxiety), and told myself I’d only get one if I saw one come up on CL.  So far (2 days later ) I’m satisfied with my $20 toy.

@Hollyyyyy I napped in my car at lunch yesterday (at work) too!  I actually do it a few times a week these days . Just wanted to keep sleeping...zzz...  

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 

12w5d - one week past my latest milestone!  I’m finally the most pregnant I’ve ever been

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 

Still tired and nauseous, especially in the late afternoons.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 

Okay for now, but we just had all the appointments last Friday.  Waiting on NIPT results end of this week or early next week (even having done PGS, we’re a little anxious since PGS isn’t perfect - also, the last time we got a NIPT result, we *TW* lost her 2 days later . )

Edit again:  I did see some light pink—> light brown spotting yesterday (maybe from relations on Sunday?), so that doesn’t help anything.  I just keep telling myself it’s not red...

4. Any appointment updates?

Friday we had our genetic counseling appointment (and NIPT blood draw), NT scan (all good, thankfully), and 12 week OB appointment.  Next OB appointment isn’t till 7/6.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 

I miraculously got a “normal” result on my 1 hr glucose test over the weekend - though I know I’m borderline and still have to watch what I eat and get back to exercising whenever my energy comes back (OB just said to minimize carbs and I’d be fine - which will be easier if the nausea ever goes away).  Just grateful to avoid poking myself 4x/day to monitor blood sugar for now... Will repeat at 24-28 weeks, but happy not to potentially deal with the monitoring until after our planned vacation.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 

Hmm...not sure if my 39th birthday counts, as it was kind of a whole day thing - DH and I went to a sushi-making class, then trapeze class, then dinner.  Was a super fun day!

Edit: typo

katy0990

@artemis618 For $20 it sounds like it was well worth it!

morgantu

 @katy0990 sorry to hear about your acne. Mine is not terrible, but definitely more than before, especially around my mouth. 
@Hollyyyyy lol we started telling people when i was getting stuck in things too! I had to cancel a surgery and i was making ridiculous excuses for it. Finally we just started telling people

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
13+6! Well past milestone, and happily into 2nd tri

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Still tired in the evenings, mouth pimples, tailbone pain (ouch!) but nothing to severe

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
Still haven't gotten the risk level from the nt scan! I have messaged and called the office. I hope that no news is good news, it's just making me so anxious.

4. Any appointment updates?
Nothing till the 25th

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
Thrilled that i've been able to go back to yoga this week, other than that, it's been hot and i've been out of breath a lot lol. Nothing else crazy. 

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
I went on an amazing first date once (not with mh lol). It was an online date and we had been texting for a while. We were supposed to just hang out and order takeout but I told him that I loved going to the ballet to see the nutcracker (this was right after thanksgiving) and he bought tickets and we went! It was awesome. We only went on one date after that, but i still see him around once in a while (he lives one street over from me lol) and I always think fondly of that date. 

texas_t

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 15w3d

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? Acne, crazy RLP, and having trouble breathing going up the stairs at work, lol

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? Doing pretty well! Got to 

4. Any appointment updates? Nope. Next appointment is Monday!

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): Nothing too terribly exciting. Just workin' for the weekend.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? I surprised my husband by finding a cool hiking spot and we woke up early and drove and hour and a half to get there and hiked for about 3 hours and it was amazing. Then, on the way back we stopped at this taco shop and grabbed burritos and ate them in the car on the way home and THEY were amazing. Super memorable and right up our alley.

lexidawg

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
11w6d - Super far from our loss

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
I feel pretty good.  I get tired easily and don't have a lot of motivation to get things done, but other than that, I can't complain.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
My anxiety is moderately high right now.  I haven't had an appoitnment since 10w0d and don't have one until my NT scan on the 25th.  Having done IVF, I had weekly ultrasounds from week 5-10 so now I am just worried.  We did get NIPT results back and they were low risk, but now that I know it's a boy.. I can't stop thinking about my son. And then I worry that he won't make it and then I just lose it.  UGH. Is it the 25th yet.

4. Any appointment updates?
Nope. RUDE!

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
Work has been busy and annoying.  I fried my laptop and need to buy a new one.  I want it to be second trimester!  And.. I want to start buying all the baby things and getting his room together but I know it's too soon!

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on
Well.. also not a date, but my husband planned an amazing 40th bday adventure last year! There was wine and cheese tasting, boozy ice cream, a picnic breakfast on the water, an amazing dinner.  It was EVERYTHING.  Today is my birthday and we are getting pizza. Such a difference. LOL!

katy0990

@lexidawg Happy birthday!

morgantu

Omg @texas_t that sounds like the perfect date! 

@artemis618 and @lexidawg your birthdays sound awesome! I hope I have one that exciting on of these years!

Eta: happy bdayyyyy! 

lexidawg

@katy0990 Thank you!

coco2787

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
13w1d.  Past my loss milestones.

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Good, some random puking here and there but I don't have much to complain about right now.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
Pretty anxious right now about my upcoming appointment.   Still no luck with the Doppler but I think I’ve been feeling occasional moment so that helps reassure me a little.  

4. Any appointment updates?
NT scan is on Friday, will update with how it goes.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
If everything looks good on Friday I think we'll tell our son about the baby.  I can't wait to see his reaction. 

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
My H and I went to a Middle Eastern restaurant when we were dating and had an amazing 5 course meal complete with delicious Turkish coffee at the end.  It was like a 3 hour meal but it was a lot of fun.  

artemis618

Happy Birthday @lexidawg!!

Oh oops - I think that (the sushi/trapeze/dinner) was my 38th birthday - it was my first one with DH.  My 40th birthday was also last year, and DH did literally nothing (was afraid I’d be tired because we’d just gotten back into town or something like that).  I went and had dinner with my twin brother.  I’d been through 4 egg retrievals that year and didn’t much feel like celebrating anyway.

coco2787

@Hollyyyyy I haven't heard/seen baby in 3 weeks either, it sucks.

@artemis618 congrats on your milestone and passing the glucose test!  I hope it's smooth sailing from here on out for you (hopefully with no more spotting).

@lexidawg happy birthday!  I hope the 25th is here before you know it.

gingersnap-mama

@lexidawg happy birthday!!

@texas_t I've been getting short of breath too! I feel like it's coming on earlier this time!


1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
11+6 

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Nausea has finally subsided thankfully! Still super tired especially in the evenings.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
I want to say I've been good but only because I check for a heartbeat everyday with my Doppler. I did leave it home while we were on vacation this past week. 

4. Any appointment updates?
I had my first OB appointment last week and we decided to adjust my due date to 12/27 instead of 12/22 because of the day I know I ovulated and my dating scan indicating I was measuring closer to the 27th. I have my NT scan next week on Tuesday. I didn't do one with my DD. 

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
We went to our cabin this past week and it was so nice to get away. DH has been helping out a lot with our DD which gives me hope for later in pregnancy! I asked my MIL if she wanted to come to my NT scan and she said she didn't know if she had plans. I kind of wish I never asked. My mom is working but could possibly come to it (it's at the hosohosp I work at.)

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
DH and I had a picnic early in our relationship in a field of buttercups. We aren't super romantic mushy people but this is a date I've always remembered. We were about to DTD and the farmer saw us, we packed up real quick and left!

mommythlegend

@lexidawg Happy Birthday!

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
15w + 3

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Not too bad. Increased heartburn & headaches. Some pain that I think is Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction & sharp RLP when I cough or sneeze hard.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
Medium. Haven't seen baby since 12wks & not lucky with the doppler, which makes me suspect I have anterior placenta again. Boo. Wanting to buy things but still feeling like it's too soon & anything could happen, though I'm weeks past my loss.

4. Any appointment updates?
I have my monthly appt Fri morning. Probably schedule the anatomy scan this time!

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
Son & I visited our besties for the past 5 days, got home last night.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on?
 Nothing in particular comes to mind. My memory is definitely struggling lately!

echo-charlietango

@katy0990 Sorry you’re breaking out again! I don’t have the same problem skin (mine’s a different set of issues), but I certainly understand wanting and missing clear skin. Soon enough!

@Hollyyyyy I’m excited that you will be telling people within two weeks! I’m imagining “Hey Karen, I need to back out of the wine tasting…because I’m pregnant! Have fun without me!”

@rosebud332 Oh, jealous about your ultrasound, my last was at six weeks (just two Doppler listens since). Not jealous about the HOA though - those are the worst. One of our properties has a HOA and it’s a huge pain.

@artemis618 Good idea looking on CL! Congrats on your normal glucose today, hopefully the next one will go well too

@morgantu +1 for easily being out of breath! It’s so annoying.

@texas_t A hiking date sounds great

@lexidawg Happy birthday!! Hope the pizza is magnifique 

@coco2787 Oh, that dinner sounds amazing!

@gingersnap-mama I hope you have a great scan next week 

@mommythlegend I hope you have a good appointment too

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 

14 weeks, five past my milestone.

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 

Decent! I'm getting used to being super tired around 8pm, but not used to feeling like trash after sundown. My skin is going back to normal...so small pimples here and there instead of glowing perfection. Still taking B6 and benadryl because I'm too afraid to be useless during the move.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 

Much more relaxed, so much that I ordered announcements for the family (in the announcement thread of course).

4. Any appointment updates?

Yesterday! We listened to LO, and got our low-risk NIPT results. Aaaaand we peeked at the sex because the curiosity was killing me - it's a boy! Confirmed my suspicion and surprised DH - win win.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 

Dear Diary, we're moving this week! Today & tomorrow = everything (mostly) gets packed. Friday = everything gets loaded. I'm dividing my (solo) drive so I'm leaving on Friday and staying the night with a friend in Arkansas. I'll finish the drive on Saturday. DH is leaving Saturday with dogs and driving straight through.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 

Probably the first date with my now-husband! We had been writing for months while he was deployed before we met so we felt like we already knew each other and were mostly on the same page regarding relationship expectations. When we met, we met in our TX hometown for breakfast. He forgot that it was a cash only restaurant, but I remembered and bought our meal. Afterwards we dropped off my car, then drove to Santa Fe...to have dinner with my mom. She left the timeshare early and let us have it, so we hung out in Santa Fe for a few days, then drove up to Taos for a night. Then drove back home. After washing clothes and packing again we hit the road and I stayed with him for a week in Mississippi. We finally departed after hanging out in New Orleans, when I flew out to go back home. Our first date was seriously one month long and spanned four states - It was amazing

(It should be no surprise that we both love road trips and honestly enjoy being in the car with each other for hours or days.)

abyrdie85

1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
     I am 12w and 4 days.  I'm the most pregnant I've ever been...yey! 

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
    I've been feeling just ok.  Have been having severe nausea in the mornings, which is fairly new.  I'm also always out of breath.  Other than that I'm great lol

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
     I'm always anxious...pregnant or not.  So i sorry myself about nonsense.

4. Any appointment updates?
     I have an appt next week.  But...I was able to hear the heartbeat 3 weeks ago at my appt.  That was awesome!

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
     I actually just started a new job with my God-mother, at her insurance agency.  So that has been great.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
      Years ago, when my current BF and I went to dinner . But afterwards we walked at the Inner Harbor (Baltimore) for hours and talked.  It was perfect weather and laid back.  Loved it!

kchiquita20

. How far along are you? Any milestones? 12w1. Almost out of the 1st tri! Yay! And I’m pretty sure I’m feeling tiny flutters every once in awhile. Get them as I’m laying down for bed a lot

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
I feel good when I am home. I get sick at work. I’m wondering if it’s the febreeze we use after a stinky patient. 

 3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
I feel great for the most part. I check on baby a few times a week. So fun to see them kicking and flipping in there. I start to get a little panicky thinking about baby’s arrival and how those first few months will be. My son was super hard and my husband and I struggled with him. For a long time I didn’t want another baby because of how rough that first year was. I just hope and pray this baby is different!

 4. Any appointment updates? One next week! Just a check in. Nothing exciting.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
Finally got a completion date for our new house so we are listing our current house next week!! My MIL is driving us CRAZY!! She is a type A perfectionist and she has this laundry list of crazy things we “have” to do before we list. Our house is going to fly off the market. Homes are getting multiple offers. We could literally not even clean our house before our open house and we’d get full price offers. She just WONT drop it though.

 6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on?
This past fall for my husbands birthday I took him to our Alma Mater. We walked around campus then redid our first date. Went to this cute Italian restaurant and then went bowling. It was fun to reminisce about everything we were thinking/feeling that night!

echo-charlietango

*whispering* Hey @morgantu , should we remind people what PGAL means in next week’s thread? Ladies who I don’t think are PGAL keep chiming in... (as evidenced by milestones and anxieties that aren’t loss-related) Maybe bring back the old “what makes you PGAL” question for a week or two?

Knottie1474566509

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
15 + 4 weeks still a while to go till I pass my milestone

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Great lately on a stomach protector/strong antiacid which has stopped my puking this time.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
So much anxiety going to my first appointment alone tomorrow and I am so scared for bad results. 

4. Any appointment updates?
Tomorrow I am going for an anatomy and placenta scan at the high risk hospital by myself. Hoping everything is good and to maybe see the gender.

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 

 I lifted my 6 yr old brother about 50 pounds on monday because he was hurt and I wasn't thinking my back has been hurting since then and my FH demanded I spend the days in bed taking it easy. This is hard because we move to our apartment soon and all i wanna do is pack and plan. I am worried i hurt the baby as well and its driving me crazy not knowing.

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 

FH and our second date which lasted 12 1/2 hrs we went for breakfast and hikes and trails and cafes we learned so much about each other and we found a lot of similar interests. When he dropped me off that night we both felt the day was too short and ended up calling each other as soon as he was home so we could just keep talking to each other.

morgantu

@echo-charlietango yep, I was thinking the same exact thing this morning! We'll put a 're-intro' question in. And maybe put the tw back at the top for a couple weeks. We do have a lot of new ppl since we dropped it in the beginning 

morgantu

@echo-charlietango also, i meant to say good luck this weekend! Sounds like a busy couple days but you guys are pros so I'm sure you have it down to a science! Can't wait to hear how it all goes! 

katy0990

@echo-charlietango Good luck with the move!

@kchiquita20 Those newborn days are so tough. My DH and I really struggled in the beginning, too. Fx this time is easier for both of our families, since we know what to expect.

echo-charlietango

@morgantu @katy0990 Thanks ladies!

tumbleweed-1

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
12+1! No more milestones, passed my previous ones. 
2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
I’ve never had strong symptoms. That said, I was a bit worried last week *possibly TW/possbly TMI too-bleeding* I had red bleeding last week, but it turned back to old blood within a few hours. I had brown spotting for days after that. We found baby on the Doppler and baby sounds fine. *end TW* (do we need TW in PGAL thread? The whole thread is potentially triggering, because of pgal brain)
3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
Was a bit stressed out due to the above, and I had a huge health insurance problem where I effectively didn’t have coverage, but I got that straightened out last week. Phew. Better now.
4. Any appointment updates?
 I went in for an emergency doppler (they said they weren’t too worried based on my symptoms, but that I could go in for peace of mind- so heck yes I went in), we pushed my next appointment back another 4 weeks, but it’s more like 4.5 weeks because the front desk lady suggested I come back at 16 weeks, that way it sets up the following appointment nicely for the anatomy scan. I’m a bit anxious because it’s so long to go without hearing baby again. I can’t feel the baby yet, and I’m not really showing, and I’m not feeling sick, so I’m in a weird “don’t drink beer or eat that” limbo. 
5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
Busy summer approaching. My friend is staying with us for most of the summer to attend a program she was accepted to. She’s my friend that I was ttc with ***real TW time, m/c*** she had a missed m/c at 12 weeks (part of why I was freaking out so hard when I started spotting last week). We are sad for her, she is happy for us of course, but naturally more sad for herself too. I want to be a gracious host while she is with us (we planned this a long time ago), and I hope being around me doesn’t bum her out. ***end TW***
6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
Idk, we go out to dinner at times, and see movies, go to our local comic con, etc, but we’ve been living together (just the two of us) for 8 years, so we honestly we don’t really think of them as “dates”. We should try to make more special dates when we have kids and will really need alone time again. We are drowning in alone time right now. Before we were technically coupled, our first real “date”, I think, was our community colleges production of the Vagina Monologues, so that was, um, memorable and a bit awkward. 

morgantu

@tumbleweed-1 Re:tw  we talked in the verrrrrryyyyyy beginning of this board about TWs being understood and not necessary. However we've had lots of new people the last few weeks, so i think next week i will put a general TW on the top of the thread. I think it's still fine to leave them off in the responses. All thoughts and opinions on this are welcome. Want to make this a comfortable space for all of us. 

Re: your friend- i'm sure you are more than accommodating of her feelings and that's all she can ask of a friend. Even the fact that you are sensitive to it and concerned for her is more than a lot of friends would do, so I bet she appreciates it

katy0990

@tumbleweed-1 I am sorry you were bleeding, but glad all is well. That I’m between stage is so hard. 

mommythlegend

DS laid on my side/stomach this a.m. (he's 51lbs) and flipped me out some, but had a good appt today. Anatomy scan in 2.5 weeks!

fernsy

Getting on this thread train a little late this week!
 
@katy0990 I’m sorry about your acne—that sucks. To have found a solution and then not be able to use it…
@artemis618 Yay for your good result!

@lexidawg happy belated birthday

@morgantu I want to start going back to yoga, with my first pregnancy I really loved my prenatal yoga class -- so far I've been waiting until I'm "more" pregnant. Its like I'd be outing myself....even with strangers. Then again, I could just go to a regular yoga class. What kind do you do?

@coco2787 How was the NT scan today?
@echo-charlietango sending you good moving vibes! I hope it all goes smoothly! Oh and YAY for a boy!
@tumbleweed-1 You’re a good friend. I agree with @morgantu that the fact that you’re super sensitive to her feelings is enough.

I’m +1 for the not seen baby in three weeks camp.

1. How far along are you? Any milestones?
12 w 1 day, over a week past loss.

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)?
Still nauseous, the tiredness seemed to be lessening but today I feel pretty exhausted.

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)?
Feeling pretty good. My NT scan is on Tuesday and I have my next prenatal appointment on Friday — its been three weeks. I’m excited but also a little nervous. I think we may start telling a few close family members if all looks good, which makes me more nervous.

4. Any appointment updates?
Nada

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here):
A freelance project I’ve been working on opens tomorrow! I feel really proud of it and a little sad its ending and a little happy to get my evenings and my early bedtime back:)

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on?
Oh man, I can’t think of this. My brain isn’t working…

@fernsy, yeah, I waited for the prenatal until I was almost 14 weeks. I'm a very regular at a small studio, so I know once I went, it was all over as far as keeping it a secret. But I really wanted to talk to the teacher about what to avoid as I get into the 2nd tri. She essentially said only avoid backbends in general and anything that is uncomfortable. 
So as far as regular classes, I really do whatever fits my schedule lol. This week i went to and open vinyasa, a foundations, and a heated power vinyasa (it was hard). The biggest thing for me is just being very aware of getting too hot or dizzy and taking a break! And all my belly core muscles are totally gone lol

Super late to the party...

1. How far along are you? Any milestones? 
I am 14 + 6. Seven weeks past my last loss. 

2. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)? 
Tired and bouts of nausea with some vomiting. 

3. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)? 
I have been doing exceptionally well up until yesterday. I started worrying about the baby. I have to keep telling myself if there’s no bleeding or cramping everything should be ok. Tomorrow at 4 cannot come fast enough. 

4. Any appointment updates?
I have an appointment tomorrow fx that everything goes well. 

5. What's been happening in your life this week? Rants/raves/whatever (Dear diary posts and venting are welcome and encouraged here): 
Not much really going on. Barely starting the process for looking for a home. Hoping we can find something before the baby comes. 

6. GTKY: what's the best date you've ever been on? 
There have been so many with H. Most memorable is our first date. He surprised me with tickets to see a sold out show for the Fela musical.

@coco2787 thinking about you.

Just to update all.. had my NT scan today.  Baby boy is looking great. No concerns so far.  The tech just went right in and i stopped her and said.. so.. his heart is still beating?  Once she said yes.. I let out a sigh of relief.  He was wiggly and flipped over during!

I was told not only do I get the 20 week anatomy scan, but I get a 16 week scan too.. I think because I'm old. LOL! I'll take it!
