How many weeks are you?

15wks

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?

Physically, I'm still sometimes tired and sometimes nauseous.  I'm also having a lot of round ligament twinges that are not so fun.  Emotionally, pgal brain keeps popping in and I just wish I could feel baby move already!

Any appointment updates?

No appointments last week or this week.  I have a check-in next week.

Rants/Raves/Questions? 

I'm sure I've got something, but nothing I feel like typing out right now.

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? 

I plan to go public at work and with the general population after my appointment next week.  Then after that it will be my anatomy u/s at the end of the month.

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?

Internet at my fingertips.  I forgot my phone at home yesterday and felt itchy all day.  And I don't even spend that much time on my phone at work, but not being able to play Pandora or quick google questions made for a long day.

How many weeks are you? 15 weeks 2 days

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I think I finally got some extra energy back. Emotionally I till worry but I try not to.

Any appointment updates? We had an elective US, and found out we're having a boy!

Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm so excited to buy clothes now for our baby. We can officially shop and put ideas together for the nursery!  Can anyone recommend online shops?

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)?  I'm 1 month away from my angel babies due date. I want to do something special for it.

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? Definitely my cell phone. I just feel naked if I forget it. But besides a cell phone, my car.

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically fine- just get tired quicker - emotionally doing better but still nervous/anxious that something is going to happen. 

Any appointment updates?  Had a check in Tuesday- strong heartbeat via doppler- did
blood work for spina bifida so waiting on those results- OB said low risk. 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Glad I don’t have many symptoms but hard when you can’t feel the baby yet!! 

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? 
No milestones left - just getting through each week. 
What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?i would concur in regards to the cell phone.

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically?
Emotionally good which makes my pgal brain go nuts cuz I'm not hysterical all the time anymore... Weird thing to miss, I know. Physically good, starting to get a little worried that I still don't have an appetite and I haven't gained any weight. I'm a pound lower than my prepregnancy weight so it's not a lot but I just worry about everything lol

Any appointment updates?
Next appointment is 12/17 which feels like forever but I know it's coming up quick!

Rants/Raves/Questions? 
I was sick and didn't miss any work. I got my husband sick and he called out two days this week already lol

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? 
4 months preggers as of this Sunday! Getting excited to find out what we're having and will be finishing our registry this weekend. We got mostly gender neutral garb and a bit of both boy and girl on the registry and will delete all the stuff we won't need after finding out the gender. i.e. delete boy garb if it's a girl.

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? 
Cheese! I know that it's a luxury to have good cheese but it's also a necessity.

So... What I'm hearing is that we're are all anxious because we aren't pukey and exhausted anymore ... 

kbeers13

EXACTLY! Why is there a phase where I don't feel pukey and exhausted but can't for sure feel LO... This is ridiculous

How many weeks are you? 16wks

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically i cannot complain. I have not had many symptoms from the beginning other than major fatigue and some mild nausea (that lasted for 3 wks). Emotionally i have to talk myself down every couple of days. I feel like everything is going too good and i am waiting for the other shoe to drop. I check the baby’s hb twice a week to help keep me calm and reassured.

Any appointment updates? I go on the 14th for a regular checkup and to hopefully get my bw results from the integrated screening i had done (though i did do ivf and did the pgs genetic screening so i am not too worried) 

Rants/Raves/Questions? i already did my rant in the wk4 checkin (oops). Raves: my kitten (Meow-Cow) has starting lifting his two front paws when he wants to be picked up (i really love this cat and i am not a cat person). My sister told me she is flying up before i have the baby so she can be with me in the delivery room!! 

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? i have passed all my milestones. However next week would have been my due date for my second miscarriage. 

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? remote start on my car and heated seats. I have become very spoiled with these

How many weeks are you? 18w2d

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? I'm feeling alright. Overall, I really can't complain. My body is just really achy, RLPs, and I'm having some bad sciatic pain. Emotionally, I'm pretty steady. 

Any appointment updates? OB check on Tuesday and anatomy scan on the 17th. Really looking forward to both of those.

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rave: I'm getting so much comfort from our sweet boy hopping around in there. Starting to feel his movements over the past week has done so much for my nerves. I can get a little paniky when he's quiet though. Rant: He is so low and right on my bladder though LOL. Question: Is anyone else struggling this early with RLPs? They weren't a thing at all with DD. I'm not nearly as healthy as I was with her, and I hear they can be stronger in subsequent pregnancies, but man, I'm not at all used to this. My body felt strong and great until the very end with DD.

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? It really dawned on me this week how close I am to the year anniversary of finding out we were pregnant with our angel baby. I took a test on my birthday (12/30) and got a big time squinter, so I really wasn't sure if it was accurate. But then on 1/3, I got the positive. I spent a weekend really cleaning out the guest room/baby's future room, and I'd bought a couple of things for our angel baby and hung them in that closet. I hope I can bring myself to let our baby boy wear them.

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? Probably television. I am the type where it's always on in the background, and I just appreciate vegging out to shows I've seen a thousand times.

@justharrison Remote start....oh how I miss that! If we cave and get the mini van I"m hoping for, that's a necessity.

optbaby2017

@GeorgiaGirl1230 I am only 15 wks and have been having (what I think is) RLP for a few weeks. But also totally questioning whether it's actually RLP this early ... Plan on asking my doc and/or chiropractor next time I am in.

How many weeks are you? 18w2d

How are you feeling? Emotionally and physically? Physically- still a little nausea/vomiting in the morning, lots of headaches, and so tired. Emotionally- doing ok but Pgal brain still creeps up sometimes.

Any appointment updates? OB appointment on Tuesday 

Rants/Raves/Questions? Rants- I’m emotionally exhausted from being in charge all week at work.  Raves- I think that I’m consistently feeling baby move now ( but sometimes I question if it’s just gas haha).

Any milestones coming up (doesn't have to be pgal related)? I have my 20 week anatomy scan the week of Christmas so that is causing some anxious feelings. I did have an anatomy scan at 16w5d, MFM doc said it looked good and she had no concerns but it still makes me a little anxious.

What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without? All my apple products: iPhone, iPad, MacBook, Apple Watch. And definitely heated seats and remote start.
