QOTD- I loved my little ponies too. I also loved my Strawberry shortcake doll (her head or gave smelled like strawberries) and her friend, Lemon Meringue. I brought them everywhere!
I don't think they sell the same dolls anymore but if I have a girl, I would love to introduce her to all that stuff. I buy it for my friends kids!

@BeeBee08 Thanks for taking over the check in! <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
@Reoni I just realized you are the first official “Team Blue” for MarchJ
@PhillyJ33 sorry you have to endure more blood work- fingers crossed all are negative!
How far along are you this week? 22 weeks- no new updates.
QOTW: What was your favorite childhood toy? Mine were my older brothers Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle action figures. Can you still purchase it and if you can, will you purchase it for your children? They still have TMNT toys- but their faces are creepier to me now, so if I could find some older version then yeah I’d get them J

How far along are you this week? Any appointments or other updates? Hi ladies! I'm almost to 16 weeks.. woo hoo! No appointments until the day before Thanksgiving. Still trying not to panic about 4 week waits in between appointments.
QOTW: What was your favorite childhood toy? Can you still purchase it and if you can, will you purchase it for your children? My favorite toy was actually a stuffed duck named "Ducky" that my sister gave me at birth. DD has a lovey blanket she's had since birth that she is obsessed with. He has a duck head, arms, a blanket and a thin layer of grime (despite weekly washings). His name is Gee (with a hard "g" like "good") and he goes everywhere with her. In fact, she calls him her little brother. She said when the baby comes she will give Gee to the baby, but I'm not holding out for that.
Other than that, I always wanted an Easy Bake Oven and never got one, so we're thinking of getting one for DD for her 4th birthday (so that I can secretly fulfill my desire to use it and make a crappy tasting cupcake). :0
TTC #1 4/2009 - DD 2/5/10
TTC #2 since October 2011

14w2d today yay!!! Not much going on, had my second OB appt last week al is good and baby's hb is 152. We have an early scan on Sunday at exactly 15 weeks...a little early but hopefully they can see something!
QOTD : I've saved my favorite toys so my LO hopefully likes them since they're almost antique now LOL I have a tea set and a record player that works!!
NTNP 2009-2012 TTC since 2012:

My blog about IF and loss ... Kate's IF Blog
Hey everyone! I'm 18w4d woo-hoo! No updates, my next OB appt is a week from today, and my A/S is the day before Thanksgiving.
QOTD: my favorite early childhood toy was the Fisher Price garage, which they still sell (but it's different, so I'm on the fence about purchasing). As I got older I loved playing with Barbies and their accessories. If I have a girl and she's into them, sure!

I'm 16 weeks and our next appointment is our amnio and a/s a week from Friday (11/22). We had our 16 week appointment on Thursday and all was well (heart rate in the mid-150's). We did have a scare at the beginning of the pregnancy that I tested positive for Rh antibodies (I'm Rh negative). I was just retested after last week's appointment, and the results came back negative this time. I'm so relieved... one less thing to worry about.
I loved light bright too! I was kind of a tomboy, and my favorite thing was playing with "adventure people" (at least that's what we called them back then). Just little figures and they came with things like boats and Jeeps. We also had Star Wars adventure people, also cool. DS has a couple of similar things, but I've never been able to find the exact same thing.
Me: 42. DH: 46.
1st Pregnancy: MC, 11/19/00.

I am 19w2d today and patiently waiting for my a/s on Friday. I got my doppler this week and used it once and I feel so much better. Just having it there to know I can use it when I want reassurance is helping my nerves. Still no movement from this little nugget thanks to my anterior placenta
QOTW - I was a Barbie lover. And I also loved She-ra, my neighbour had He-Man and we both had corresponding castles, so we always brought them together. I'm not sure if they still exist...but Barbie does!
