2) Age at delivery? (optional) 37

QOTW: Are you making any resolutions for the New Year? What are they? I don't have any specific resolutions--it's harder when there's so much unknown we're facing becoming parents--but if I could maintain some of this pregnancy mellow once she's here, that'd be awesome!

DawnHope · December 2013

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 08/08/2014. 8 weeks 3 days. Not sure size, since I can't get any of these tickers to show up!

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 42

3) Any other children? Furbabies? No

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? I have had zero morning sickness, which makes me nervous. Just crazy tired. And a few feelings of 'stretching'.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Thursday is my next ultrasound and I'm so nervous. We've had 5 losses so I'm just praying that everything is ok. Last ultrasound showed 2 heartbeats, but baby "B" was small. I'm hoping both are healthy.

QOTW: Are you making any resolutions for the New Year? What are they? Same as it is every year - get more organized, and better manage stress/work.

QOTR · December 2013

@DawnHope - here is a ticker / signature tutorial that helped me: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12047702/need-signature-help-click-here/p1

Good luck with your U/S Thursday - keep us posted.

@gatewols - thank you for running the check-in and for the reminder that it is indeed Monday. My schedule is so messed up.

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 5/20 - 20 weeks tomorrow - half way. Woo hoo!

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 41

3) Any other children? Furbabies? 2 spoiled mutts that I love beyond description.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? I'm experiencing some RLP at night when I move / stretch too quickly.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? No appointments for two weeks, but I have a rave. I went to my first prenatal yoga yesterday. It was such a good workout - I loved it! I'm sore today, but it's a good feeling to know that I (safely) pushed my body.

QOTW: Are you making any resolutions for the New Year? What are they? I always resolve to quit cussing so much. I think this year might be the year that I actually have to follow through.

obscurereference · December 2013

@jbelle and @kboydbowman: Being pregnant and sick is the worst! Feel better soon!

@DawnHope: good luck at your ultrasound on Thursday, keep us updated!

@QOTR: Halfway must feel so good, I'm right behind you in a week and a half.

2) Age at delivery? (optional)

3) Any other children? Furbabies?
I have a 17-month-old daughter and two cats, one of which might as well be a decoration she's so anti-social.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
I'm feeling good, but tired. I'm having some RLP but not that often.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Anatomy scan two weeks from today! I'm excited and now getting nervous. Also coming up quickly on 20 weeks.

QOTW: Are you making any resolutions for the New Year? What are they?
I don't usually make any specific resolutions, although cussing less seems like a really good one. Maybe I should try it this year...

SurpriseAt39 · December 2013

MommyAtty · December 2013

1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? May 16. 20 weeks. Banana-sized

2) Age at delivery? (optional) 40 (I just turned 40 a couple of weeks ago!)

3) Any other children? Furbabies? A 17 month old daughter.

4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Fine. I have great genes, so I am lucky to have the world's easiest pregnancies. Only weirdness is an inability to gain any weight, which happened to my mom, too. But DD and this bean are both growing well and happy, so nothing to worry about.

5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Nope. Christmas with a 17 month old was a blast, though! She was so excited and funny, and since she didn't "get" Christmas until that morning, she was in a state of total shock and wonder. So. Much. Fun.

QOTW: Are you making any resolutions for the New Year? What are they? I'm going to be more organized. I have to be or my life will totally spin out of control this year with a second child and the single most important case I can ever hope to have in my entire career.

This is our first human baby. We have two dogs, a Pomeranian and a pit bull. The pit thinks he is the lap dog and the Pomeranian rules the roost. Lol

There will be enough changes and things for me to do with LO no need for resolutions.

Rant: Ok so I get up this morning at 5:30 to let the dogs out, I never put the light on. walked into the kitchen and stepped on something, I knew right away it was not the dog toy. Let the dogs out turned the light on and saw by the door a half eaten mouse.

Now I know why MK are newest addition that we adopted in May was my foster cat was looking under the couch last night like something was there. Guess she is earning her keep. Did I mention I was bare foot!!! lol At least I don't get grossed out too much sine I work pier diem at the animal hospital but oh man I just had a feeling when I stepped down!!!

@QOTR

I actually worked at a Rat farm for a year or so. I bred and raised mice for research. I had to take a shower at work and put a suit on with 2 pairs of gloves and a helmet so we would not give anything to the mice. I raised them, I could never do testing on them.

I would love to get a rat for a pet, they make good ones but my cats are too crazy and would kill it. lol

I have to admit though, as soon as a stepped on it, I just knew, I did not want to turn the light on because I was a bit grossed out since I stepped on it and not just a little all the way. Oh man you would think I would learn and turn a light on. lol

CosMayah · January 2014
