Good morning, Hadley! 

Easter plans - Church and brunch w/DH (missing my fam and being part of all the normal traditions).

Appointment update - Went in Wed and saw hb again and LO actually looks like a human now!  Very cool!  One more appt before I move over to my OB--pretty nervous about that.  Bloating isn't an every day occurence anymore but still very much there.

T&P's - that I find strength to make it through my DH being gone for all of May and the rest of my pregnancy. Also, when I move over to my OB that my fears don't come back too strong since I won't have nearly as many u/s.

Have a fantastic Easter and weekend everyone!!!!!

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?  It's me and DH, since our family is out of state.  We invited his co-fellow over though, so I will be serving pancakes, strawberries and whipped cream, eggs, bacon, and mimosas for breakfast.  Dinner is going to be hickory smoked ham with a brown sugar and red pepper glaze, mashed potatoes, aparagus, and baked beans.  Dessert is still up in the air.   There is a good pastry shop nearby, so I might just buy a cake.

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates? Pretty much no symptoms anymore. =/  I have been tired, but have definitely not had m/s for a good two weeks.  We have an appointment and will get an u/s on Monday, and I was fine all the way up until maybe Wednesday, then I started to get really nervous.  The holiday will keep me distracted, but I can't wait for Monday afternoon!

3. Ts and Ps?  I would love to get tons of good news at Monday's appointment.  Sending thoughts and prayers to many posters that have had concerns this week, to my TTCAL buddies of course, the TTCAL board in general (there have been some crazy trolls on there this week!), and to you and my fellow PGALers, let's keep on keepin' on!

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?  2 words: Fried Donuts! There are no words for my excitement for Easter brunch at this restaurant we've been trying to get into for more than a year that serves supposedly amazing fried donuts. It's just the two of us since we live in a different state than our families and we only do the big holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas) with them. 

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates? My only symptoms now are somewhat sore and huge bbs, bloat, and fatigue. I haven't had very many symptoms the entire time and my OBs all say this is normal for some women. Oh, fun new news: My OB thinks I have pregnancy-induced lactose intolerance for milk and ice cream. I have been getting violently ill for hours after having these 2 products since my BFP so I finally called my OB and he recommended cutting them out for my entire PG and taking 2 calciums supplements per day. I have done fine with cheese and yogurt and he said that may be because they have less lactase (sp?). 

3. Ts and Ps?  Just for great news at our Tuesday appt and that if the dr. is not able to find a hb with the doppler, he will let us get an u/s there. Also, for my TTCAL buddies Eris-Alexis and Smurfy38. Eris's parents are very ill and Smurfy may have a kidney issue that needs to be addressed b/f continuing TTC.

ETF/A: Typo, and I hope everyone has a great weekend!!! : )

Hi Ladies! I notices yersterday some people were on the Jan 2012 board with a due date for that month! IDK why. but t makes me feel good! 

 1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?  Tomorrow we are going to my family's, but its more of a birthday party for my little cousin. But it will be nice to see my family. Sunday we will have church and then go to DH's family's. Nothing big, but some good family time.

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates? I have my first tri screening (NT scan) on Wednesday (and I just found out it is covered 100% - woohoo!). We are very excited for that, since we plan to tell family & close friends after a good scan. I use my doppler about EOD and I can always find LO's HB, so that is keeping me sane! No real symptoms anymore - m/s pretty much gone. I have some nausea now & then. Tired all.the.time still.

3. Ts and Ps?  For a great news at my NT scan! My T&Ps to you all for healthy LO's!!!

((Hugs)) Do you other family or friends nearby? We are here for you also! Is your H in the military? My friend's H is leaving in May for Iraq and she's having a hard time too. I reached out to her recently, but she's also busy now w/ grad school.

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they? Church then we're going to my grandma's for brunch.2. Appointment and/or symptom updates? My last u/s with my RE was Saturday and everything looked great! I don't get to see my OB for another week and even then I won't be getting a u/s. Boo. As far as symptoms... I have been throwing up occasionally but the nausea has gotten much better. My boobs are still sore and huge, I'm still exhausted, and I'm still having some cramping. This past week I've also had trouble sleeping. 3. Ts and Ps? Just that I stay sane until I can see the babies again and that they continue to grow healthy and strong.

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?
This year its just going to be DH and I.  Just this morning I looked up a recipe for a nice ham and some macaroni... now I just need to find something green to make.

We are also thinking about going to dinner tonight - something a little nicer than usual.  We'll see.

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates?
Had my NT scan this week and got all my results back yesterday.  Everything is looking as great as it can and I'm so very thankful.  When it comes to symptoms I'm still VERY fatigued and although I'm hungry all the time my stomach isn't always excited about what I eat or how much I consume.

3. Ts and Ps?
Just a big thank you for all those who were looking out for us last week.  I'm so very appreciative and I wish everyone wonderful tests/appointments in the near future!

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?  DH's aunt has invited us to her house for dinner.

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates?  u/s on Monday was great.  LO was wiggling so much.  I meet with the perinatologist on Wednesday.  My TAC surgery is scheduled; lots of appointments!  Morning sickness has subsided for the most part which has caused me some concern, but I'm trying to remain positive.  Even though I'm only 9 weeks, people are figuring out that I'm pregnant.  I haven't lied when they asked, but I need to buy some bigger shirts or something lol.

3. Ts and Ps? Just that everything continues to go smoothly and my TAC surgery helps me keep this baby baking.

1. Do you have Easter plans?  What are they?  Yes, DH and I will have a busy day.  We are having brunch at my parents' house around 10am and then we are having dinner at my DH's aunt's house around 4pm.  I'm excited to spend the day with our families!!

2. Appointment and/or symptom updates? My NT scan is on Friday morning.  I also have my next two appointments already made-one for May 19th and then one on June 15th.  The June 15th will be my anatomy scan!  I'm nervous for my NT scan on Friday but I'm trying to not think about it.  As far as symptoms, the nausea is still sticking around.  I feel fatigued easily and my boobs are still sore and feel huge!  I also have some cramping occassinally.  From what I remember reading about RLP, it seems like that is the cause of my cramping. 

3. Ts and Ps?  Any thoughts and prayers you could spare for good news at my NT scan on Friday would be great!  I'm sending all my T&Ps to all my PGAL gals with upcoming appointments and to all my TTCAL buddies.
