    How are you feeling? Pretty good. I still have my moments but overall good. So far this pregancy has been totally different then last time. Yesterday was 8 months since we lost Logan so of course emotionally its been hard. I still can't believe its been 8 months already.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? I have a check up with my MW on 6/11. And then MFM appt on 6/25or26. Can't wait to see LO again.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet? Not this time around...the only things we really need are clothes...all the big stuff was pretty much gender neutral so Logan is handing all his stuff down to his little sister

  • How are you feeling? My morning sickness seems to be back, unfortunately. I'm blaming it on the heat.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? We had our a/s last week and Squirt is a healthy little wiggler! And, it's a boy!

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet? My sister is planning my shower in August. I don't think there are any themes, but I'll find out this weekend when I go home (we live six hours away).

  • How are you feeling? Today, I am exhausted. I bought one of those Boppy Total Body Pillows yesterday to stop me from rolling onto my back in my sleep, and I think it is going to take some getting used to.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? Just the ones shown above.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet? Two of my friends are planning it, and they are following the theme I have for the nursery, which is flowers and butterflies.

  • Feeling neverous. My a/s is today at 3:30. I found out how many humans and of what gender are growing inside me. I have ever reason to be nervous. This u/s will is the deciding factor in so many of our life choices. Will this be our last pregnancy. Will we have 4 babies? How big of a house do we really need? Do I need to be a gift grabbing b1tch and have a shower to provide for twins?!? Do I need to be looking for a triple stroller not a double? Will I be able to continue care with my midwife? (what is going through my mind today little mermaid lines mostly Ersola saying "life is full of tough choices isn't it.") Also having to deal with the bank about possible changing my account number. My stress level has been maxed for the day. Oh great and now its raining! SOAB this u/s better make my day or I think I might just jump of a cliff (not really I am not that overwhelm and depressed and if I was I would seek help) sorry I kinda unloaded on the post bit you now know how I am feeling and my up coming appointment. So let me say right now I am not planning a shower but we ate doing a gender reveal on the 28th for friends and family we might have a bigger surprise than planned but that's life right. ;) I am planning everything because I love party planning and I am asking for no gifts just friends and family to come celebrate our newest family member. It will be a luau complete with baby luau clothing line with both boys and girls clothing. Should be a blast!

  • I'm feeling really good physically, no complaints at all.  Emotionally I think I'm doing pretty well too at the moment.  It fluctuates from day to day.

    Upcoming appts: Next one won't be for two weeks, that's the uterine ultrasound to see if MFM can asses my risk for p-e.  Needless to say that's a big one for me.

    I won't be having a baby shower, I had one for Peyton.  So we don't need one and emotionally I just don't know if I can handle it.  My sister wanted to throw me one, so she's going to throw us a "welcome home baby" kind of party, so DH can come too.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? Had an appt yesterday, never get tired of hearding the heartbeat!  A/S on the 12th

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet?  I am sure someone will throw a shower for me, but I have not gotten any word yet.

    Good morning ladies!  Love seeing all the updates! :D

    How are you feeling?  Pretty good.  Still get queasy if I eat too much heavy food, and I'm still ready for bed by 9:30 every night. LOL  But overall I really can't complain. :)

    Any updates or upcoming Appts?  Had the A/S yesterday, and we have a healthy little girl!  Holy crap! What am I gonna do with a girl?? ;)  Next regular OB appt is next week, to go over the A/S results and such.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet?  Mom and MIL are planning one for August/September timeframe, I think.  I told them if we were having a nursery (no room in our house, so Baby Ruth has to share with exercise equpiment and our computers!) it would be robots.  So I think they're attempting to head that direction with it.

    How are you feeling?

    I'm feeling great! My hip pain seems to have gone away as well as my heartburn. I've been super productive all week. Oh and me and DH have our first anniversary on Monday!!! In some ways I can't believe it's already been a year and in others it seems like we've been married much MUCH longer!

    Any updates or appointments?

    I just had my 20w checkup yesterday and things seem to be going well. Nothing else until 6/25.

    GTKY: If you're having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet?

    Well... My best friend wants to plan a shower for me but last year there was a huge family drama over my bridal shower she planned because apparently she didn't ask for enough help from DH's side of the family (dumb... I know but SIL is a drama queen and thinks everything is about her and if it's not she makes it about her). She's at field camp right now finishing up her degree and then when she gets back she's going to ask if anyone else is planning anything before she gets started.  At this point we have no theme.

    We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Been having a lot of heartburn. I got it yesterday after eating toast with grape jelly. The RLP is still there. Overall I feel pretty great. Loving being pregnant :)

    Any updates or appointments? Next appointment will be a/s on June 13th. We then start the critical part of my pregnancy because of my fibroid. I will have sonos every 4 weeks, appointments every 2 weeks, and hopefully make it to full term. As for updates, DH and I bought our crib over Memorial weekend. I absolutely love it. We also got a great lesson on car seat safety. Which brands to buy, which to avoid, and how to install it.

    If you are having a baby shower who is giving it and any themes? I will have a baby shower the second week of September. My mom and MIL is putting it together. I am not sure there will be a theme, but there will be lots of BLUE :)

  • The cold is much, much better!  Thanks :) 

    How are you feeling?  I am feeling great!  I do still have some bouts of nausea but nothing too bad.  And I am no where near as tired as I was in the first tri.  My back does hurt a tad but again nothing too bad.  I did have a headache the past two days so I am going to mention that to my doctor.  But overall I feel fantastic!

    Any updates or upcoming Appts?  Hmmm...not really.  Anthony is moving around like crazy.  Yesterday my stomach was so hard it literally hurt.  He is rolling and kicking.  I am really enjoying feeling him move. 

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet?  I am actually having two showers.  My sister and my BFF are throwing one at my house actually for all of our friends who live in where we do.  No theme but it is co-ed...actually family orientated.  We will have a waterslide and tons of fun games...not necessarily your typical baby shower games.  Two of my SILs are throwing me a shower in the city where all of our family lives.  All I know that it is at a park and is also co-ed.  Oh and they might do a monkey theme since I love monkeys :)

  • Hi Ladies!

    Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!

    Feeling:  Feeling really good (knocking on wood) got my energy back and getting into that Babymoon Stage, I think. Ony thing that kinda stinks is that the Twins Will think its Party time when I'm trying to go to bed...But hey I love feeling them move around and kick daddy's hand away when he trying to feel.

    Appointments:  THis Friday we have our A/S and I CAN'T WAIT!!  I have been having this occuring dream that we are at the scan and the tech says baby A is a boy and He is going to have....(a sister/brother)....and I wake up... so Baby B is not giving anything up until friday...

    Baby Shower: My mother and MIL are planning it. As of right now there are no themes but i'm guessing they will do a "thing1 thing2" or some twin theme.

  • How are you feeling?  I'm feeling really good.  Food tastes great, energy is back and I'm enjoying the second tri happiness ;)

    Any updates or upcoming Appts?  Found out last Thursday we are team PINK!  We're thrilled that baby girl appears to be 100% perfect.  She was a bit uncooperative with measurements so we got to look at her for a little longer than normal!  I haven't felt much movement and found out I have an anterior placenta which explains that - I feel so much better knowing that she is indeed kicking away in there as evidenced on the u/s, I simply can't feel it.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet?  I'll have two - one on each side of the family.  My sister is planning one and sister in law is planning the other.  My friends will come to my family shower!

  • I hate to be the downer of the group, but my baby is extra special :)

    Feeling:  Physically - I'm feeling great.  I have had a few more cramps, twinges, etc. than usualy lately, but I can tell I'm growing - so I'm okay with it.  Emotionally - I'm currently a disaster, but I hope I am able to enjoy the pregnancy as I wa before. 

    Appointments:  We had our a/s last week.  That showed an abnormality by the babies heart...but not anything abnormal regarding growth or anything (actually measured 4-5 days ahead).  After a level II u/s - we have a baby with an enlarged right atrium.  This is not affecting anything about the baby, whatsoever, but it's extremely rare, and doesn't really make sense.  I have a fetal echocardiogram in a few weeks.  Hopefully that gets here fast.  I need answers!

    Baby Shower: My boss is planning the work one, a few ladies at church for the church one, my aunts for one side, my sister in law for another side, my sister for a friends shower - I think that's it.  Nope, it's not, my husbands aunt is planning another one. ha!  I had 7 wedding showers and 2 bachelorette parties...we do it right!  I have a few dates, but no other details.

  • How are you feeling? Mostly good. Not sleeping well due to hip pain and tinglingness (is that a word?) I only have issues with nausea when I get really hungry, but my eating habits have nearly returned to normal. I'm not starving every 15 minutes. And I only occasionally have 2 breakfasts.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? I had an appointment at the beginning on April with one of the MW's. We liked her. Found out I hadn't gained any weight, but there was no concern for that, and was just told I'd prolly gain it all later. (Yay!?) We had our a/s this past Thursday and found out we have a penis. There was a small concern for a minute because they found an echogenic focus in the heart. We were told that it happens in about 5% of scans where two of the heart valves show up brighter than the others, but it can also increase the chances of Downs. The dr. did a thorough scan and there were no other indicators, and my blood work from the triple screen came back with a 1/10,000 chance which is apparently the highest number they'll give out. So by the end we felt confident that our baby is fine and just a little extra glowy.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet? One of my friends has decided to throw us one here, and my mom wants to throw us one at home. I'm not actually holding my breath that my mother will follow through. She tends to get caught up in the excitement of stuff and offer stuff up and never follow through. No theme as far as I know, and I've been sort of distant about it because it's so early. My friend probably would have had everything planned out to a T last month if I was more on the train. I'm excited about it, I just think it's too early to start planning.

  • Hi ladies!  

    I'm feeling great, no complaints.  Just trying to watch what I'm eating (which is REALLY hard since all I want to do is eat).

    No shower planned, had one with DD.  Just have to buy BOY clothes now!

    Hi ladies. How is everyone. Sorry I've been sort of inconsistent with my participation with check ins. 

    How are you feeling? Pretty good overall. Not as much extreme hunger. Every once in awhile a bout of m/s. Having more hip pain at night. Loving feeling my little boy kick. I'm still in the awkward middle phase of my bump it sort of just looks like I'm gaining weight (which I have) but not obviously pregnant.

    Any updates or upcoming Appts? I'm starting to look into new OBs for when we move back to CA when I'll be 30wk. Regular OB appointment next friday 6/8 probably will schedule glucose test.

    GTKY: If your having a baby shower who is planning it and are there any themes yet? Probably my sister but we haven't really talked about it. It will probably be in August or September. No themes really maybe forest?
