18th/20th July - 13 weeks. I think he's the size of a peach?
43
DD is 20, DS is almost 16 plus a Ginger cat and a Siamese kitten.
Bloated beyond belief. Tired, can't sleep past 3am, Headachey, ligament pains. Usual nonsense. Thankfully the nausea has gone. Still not eating much.
Scan on Thursday. Had the Harmony results last Friday which were all fine, no issues at all. It's a boy! Delighted.
1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 22 weeks tomorrow.
2) Age at delivery? (optional). 41
3) Any other children? Furbabies? 2 dogs
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Not pregnancy related, but it's allergy season here, so I'm feeling sniffly and itchy and out of breath.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? I have another growth scan tomorrow. While I always welcome the opportunity to see the little guy, I'm going to ask if it is really necessary for me to see both the perinatologist and the OB each month. The perinatologist had originally told me that he'd see me 4 times during the pregnancy, but he keeps telling me to come back in 4 weeks, so this will be the 4th time already (including the NT & A/S scans).
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination? We travel to a different city each Thanksgiving. I think my favorite winter destination was Vermont.
1st BFP-8/17/12! Missed Miscarriage discovered @ 8 week US. D&C.
2nd BFP-2/13/13! Blighted Ovum discovered @ 8 week US. Natural miscarriage.
3rd BFP-5/22/13! By early June, progesterone plummeting. Another loss.
August 2013 - started Donor Egg process, but surprise BFP with my own eggs.
Dear Son born 5/28/14
@nikkiuk congrats on the good test results, we're having a boy, too!
@QOTR I hope your allergies shape up quickly, enjoy seeing your baby boy tomorrow.
@Samuelismomma it sounds like we're feeling exactly the same. Running after a toddler and being pregnant is exhausting!
1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? May 29, 20 weeks, a mango I think.
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 37
3) Any other children? Furbabies? DD is 18 months tomorrow and we have 2 kitties.
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Same old, same old. I'm exhausted all of the time, probably because I'm having serious issues falling and staying asleep. It feels like baby is resting right on my bladder and throwing some kicks in just to make me squirm.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Had my A/S this morning and everything looked great! We also found out we're having a boy, which really caught me off guard. I was convinced we were having another girl! I have a regular OB appointment on Wednesday.
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination? I love going to the Caribbean, but now that we've moved to Florida, it seems silly to do a lot of traveling to tropical locations. Although Costa Rica is my all time favorite place and it's a lot different than Florida!

Sore boobs still, which I'm actually happy about because I'm small to begin with so I'm very excited that they'll get bigger! Woo hoo!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Another U/S on Thursday, I guess I'll have them weekly until I graduate to the Ob/Gyn. A non pregnancy rant - I hate hate hate glitter. I think it should banned!

2 cats and one dog who is now unhappy because "her" room with a queen sized bed (the guest room) has been dismantled over the last week for transition into the nursery. This dog has it tough.
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
Feeling pretty good except sleeping is also more challenging as it is more and more difficult to get comfortable. Also this little girl is REALLY active these days. Lots of strong movement round the clock.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Routine appointment this Friday. Scheduled some other appointments/classes like a tour of the hospital maternity ward and a birth basics and childcare class. Not sure how helpful the classes will be but they are only 3 hours each and I figure it won't hurt. Seemed like DH was getting nervous about not having any classes planned.
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination?
The Caribbean! DH and I got married in the Caribbean and it is actually our anniversary today! I wish we were there now!
@surpriseat39 I hear you about putting on shoes! It is even difficult to do sitting down now. DH thinks it is all really funny.
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 37
3) Any other children? Furbabies? Nope.
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Just aches and pains of being pregnant. Numbness in my upper right abdomen, which seems almost comically common.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Regular appt. next week; going every two weeks now!
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination? Anywhere warm! I love getting off the airplane and walking out into tropical heat.

2) Age at delivery? (optional)
39
3) Any other children? Furbabies?
One sweet dog
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week?
Still mostly the metallic taste in my mouth and some nausea. I am less tired, so I am happy about that.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
We graduated from the RE's and had our first appt. with my OB today. No ultrasound, but we did get to hear the heartbeat for the first time, which was nice and strong.
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination?
We went to Costa Rica last November, and it was amazing. A little off-the-beaten path and beautiful in a rustic way. We even got to see some baby turtles hatching/climbing out of the sand (one of the volunteers told us that only 1 in 1,000 of those babies survive - it's pretty incredible).

2) Age at delivery? 38
3) Any other children? Furbabies? DD will be 2 in March and we have a 6 year old multi-poo
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Feeling a little tired and having some aches and pains across my pelvis, which is pretty uncomfortable. It's all slowing me down a lot when trying to stay on track with regular workouts. I'm eating ok, but have a major sweet tooth, so I really need to keep up with the gym when I can.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? My A/S was last week and went well. So, my next appointment isn't until Feb 3. Rants: Everyone on my BMB board keeps talking about girl scout cookies, so now that's all I'm craving!
What is your favorite winter travel destination? Anywhere I can ski! I'm really missing out on skiing this season and can't wait until next year. DD will be almost 3 by next ski season and I can't wait to teach her to ski.
1) Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
EDD September 12 for now, but I think it will be earlier.
2) Age at delivery? (optional) Will be just shy of 41 at delivery.
3) Any other children? Furbabies? Yes a 14 month old son.
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Finally feeling some soreness in my boobs, some waves of nausea but nothing terrible. Sadly Diet Coke, Diet Peach Snapple, and to my horror, chocolate, are not tasting the same anymore
Also feeling EXHAUSTED...but I think that is more to do with chasing after my 14 month old and working full time with my 4th graders.
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Just had my apt today. Had sono and got to see my little one and its very new heartbeat! Very exciting! Have my "AMA" appointment with the High Risk doc next week.

Anywhere we can ski! We love Stratton, Stowe, Sunday River, Killington....Also love Disney World in the winter....esp around Christmas!

3) Any other children? Furbabies? 2 dogs ( jack russell, golden retriever) 3 cats, and 2 horses
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? but a bit tired, and today my back is killing me. Not lower, I am used to that from my herniated disc but higher up middle. Wake up in the middle of the night and cant get back to sleep SO annoying!!!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? have my next appt on 1/30 with OB and then with the other Dr for 20 week US
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination? Dont really have one.
2) Age at delivery? (optional) 42
3) Any other children? Furbabies? no
4) How are you feeling? New symptoms this week? Feel good, though my bras and pants are getting tight!
5) Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Had first appointment with perinatologist and I loved her. It was the first appointment, so we had to meet with a genetic counselor and get the MaterniT21 test. I wish I could stop worrying about everything so much. Doctor was reassuring. Carrying twins, one has been consistently smaller but heartbeats look good and size is still within 'normal' limits.
QOTW: What is your favorite winter travel destination? Anywhere warm. Our anniversary is in February, so it's always a good excuse to vacation.
