  • *What is your EDD/how far along?
     
    July 5th, 19w tomorrow 
     
    *How have you been feeling/doing?
     
    Pretty good overall! 
     
    *Any appointments or milestones?
     
    OB appt yesterday--nothing too exciting :)   
     
    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?
     
    Just planning DD2's nursery has been a lot of fun.  I'm excited to get started but not ready to lose our guest bedroom or to move DD1 out of her crib. 
     
    *QOTW:  What is your biggest reason for looking forward to Spring?
     
    Being able to play outside with DD again!  We love to take walks to the park.

    *What is your EDD/how far along?
    Still 9/16/13 - 8 w2d today
     
    *How have you been feeling/doing?
    Was kind of freaked out earlier this week when I had some spotting for no good reason and an abatement of my nausea...right at the same point that I miscarried pregnancy #1...but doing much better today (see below)
     
    *Any appointments or milestones?
    Had my first OB appointment today, a pap (ouch!) and an ultrasound.  The ultrasound at the OB's office could not get a clear picture (cue panic), so I had to go across the street to the hospital for a scan to follow up on my spotting.  I was nervous.  Luckily, I immediately saw the little bean complete with arm and leg buds wiggling about with a heart rate of 159. Whew!  No reason for the spotting that could be seen.
     
    *What were your highlights and struggles this week?
    Highlight was today's ultrasound.  Struggle was the stress of the spotting and worrying about this surprise LO.  The combo of my prior loss about this time, and being older (and knowing that increases my m/c risk) has me on edge. Also stressing over how we are going to manage the 2 kids (DS is a high-needs kid) and fit them in our tiny house.  [:S]
     
    *QOTW:  What is your biggest reason for looking forward to Spring?
    Getting outside!  The weather here has been too cold, or too snowy, or too icy to really get any good outside time with DS, and we are all getting cabin fever!

  • I had my first appt today. Confirmed my EDD, begged for u/s which I will get but not for 4 more weeks boo :-/The nauseau started yesterday but it is very slight. Hoping it stays that way. I cannot wait for spring simply because I miss the longer days. It gets dark too early right now.
