Re: **2IF Grad Check-in**
I'm 17 weeks and feeling great finally. Just trying to enjoy it while it lasts! We have our anatomy scan and amnio at the same appointment this coming Friday 11/22. I'm excited and scared at the same time. We will be finding out our baby's gender, so I will know in just a few days... woohoo!
QOTW: I haven't had any super weird cravings, but have been having plenty naughty cravings. Chicken Wings, chocolate cake with cream cheese frosting (which DH made yesterday.... yay for DH!), potato chips/tater tots, and the list goes on....

Rainbow Surprise Baby due 05/26/2017
1. How many weeks along are you? 30.5
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Next appointment on 11/26
3. How are you feeling lately? Really tired and pretty much sore everywhere. After our little scare two weekends ago they have let me come back to work, and even though I have a desk job it is totally wearing me out! I am so sore and tight by the end of the day I can hardly walk. Hoping to keep this little girl snuggled in for several more weeks, but very much looking forward to being done!
4. QOTW: What are the most bizarre (or just plain naughty) food cravings you have indulged in during this pregnancy? For those still dealing with nausea, what are the foods you are best able to tolerate? Oddly I haven't really had any cravings this pg that I can think of....at the beginning I had a ton of aversions and lived off of carbs/starches and cheese, but that is pretty much it. Can eat most anything now, although some nausea is coming back (weird) and I am ravenously hungry 24-7 and will get sick if I don't eat.

How many weeks along are you? I am 31 tomorrow
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Just came back from my ultrasound, baby girl is right on track at 4 pounds and looking great.
3. How are you feeling lately? Tired. Very tired.
4. QOTW: What are the most bizarre (or just plain naughty) food cravings you have indulged in during this pregnancy? For those still dealing with nausea, what are the foods you are best able to tolerate? No real bad mausea, but I am craving my whole pregnancy pickles and oranges. Not together, but strong cravings for both.
Best of luck to all
No medical updates. We can do an elective gender U/S within the next two weeks and I have my next apt on 12/4, so we may just do it all in one day.
Feeling okay. I've had a cold for two weeks that just go away. I've been coughing, am stuffed up, and I feel like there's a constant fog around my head. Pregnancy wise, I'm great.
Bizarre cravings- hot sauce on everything (anything spicy really). Any vinegar based foods- especially green olives and banana peppers. I love to drink the juice. Gross, I know! Also I've been in love with Tootsie Pops this week.
I am 8 weeks 6 days.
I have another ultrasound next week on the 25th to make sure baby is still looking good. My OB is SUPER cautious.
I feel very tired today. And nauseated. The nausea has gotten so much worse this week. If anything touches my neck (coat, seatbelt, stethoscope) I gag. I know progesterone is a good drug but I feel like it's really amping up my nausea and I can't wait to be done with it in a few weeks.
Nothing really. I have been eating because I know I need to, and I usually do feel better after I eat. Mac and cheese and cereal have been some good standbys.
1. How many weeks along are you? 5 weeks
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Third beta was yesterday and went up to 1158, so doubling time of 47 hours. I had hoped for a little higher but it is still within range. Ultrasound scheduled for Monday.
3. How are you feeling lately? No symptoms yet which is making me nervous!
4. QOTW: What are the most bizarre (or just plain naughty) food cravings you have indulged in during this pregnancy? For those still dealing with nausea, what are the foods you are best able to tolerate? Nothing yet. I think it started around 6 weeks with DS but I can't remember for sure.
DS born Jan 2010
TTC#2 since Nov 2010 with breaks for DH cancer tx (remission!)
Tube with hydro removed Feb 2013
BFP 11/11/13 IUI#2 clomid+trigger+prometrium

For cravings, just terrible food....fried food and burgers. Luckily my ob just told me to eat lots of calories. No problem! Lol!
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Quick ultrasound yesterday to check cervix and fluid. Everything looked good. Doing my first of two GTT screens this week.
3. How are you feeling lately? Tired, breathless and large. I'm roughly the same size I was with DS at delivery (40 weeks)
4. QOTW: What are the most bizarre (or just plain naughty) food cravings you have indulged in during this pregnancy? For those still dealing with nausea, what are the foods you are best able to tolerate? No real intense cravings. Still have days where the nausea returns and carbs are all I can stand
