Re: ~*~1st Tri Check In 5/23~*~
No real update here. I'm 13w tomorrow so this is my last 1st tri check-in! I've been feeling better the past week, although nausea hit me like a ton of bricks last night and I'm still off today. I'm not sure if it's 1st tri related or something I ate yesterday. Next OB appointment is next Thursday.
QOTW: No big plans for the long weekend. I have a ladies night out tonight and probably a bbq on Monday. Besides that, lots of naps and time outside with DH and DS.

Yay! Last first tri check-in for me. I can't believe it. Saying that, I'm having major anxiety issues today, not sure why. Maybe because my symptoms aren't there as much, but I know that is common moving on to the 2nd tri. I do have an OB appointment next Wednesday, if I can make it that long. I want to call my OB, but I don't want to be that crazy FTM to-be.
QOTW: Going to my in-laws for the weekend (about an hour and a half outside of where we live). My MIL is a photographer and wants to take our announcement pics and I think that is why the anxiety is getting worse. My silly IF brain is telling me to wait to make sure everything is OK.
**Sig warning***

I did get a picture of my little one on Wednesdays appointment. I still can't believe that I have this little human in my belly.

10w5d today. Had my nurse appt this week. Same stuff as last time, we went thru insurance stuff and I signed the paper for a RCS. My insurance sure sucks for IF coverage, but man it sure is great for delivery.
I had my bloodwork done and they called me the next day. My OB wants to do a glucose test already, not excited. My a1c was perfect so I'm not sure what the deal is. (Diabetes in the past, but cleared up with the gastric sleeve surgery). My first appt with her is next Friday.
No plans this weekend, it is my rotation to work. Blah. At least it will be busy so it will go by fast.
Hello All, I am 8w5d today. I had my last apt at my RE today and I am sad to leave her. Our ultrasound today still showed two beating hearts, which shocked the doctor and she is preparing me to miscarry Baby A. But so far Baby A and Baby B are exactly 8w5d, with perfect little heart beats. I am kind of numb to the whole possibility of loosing Baby A, since its such a maybe/probably/some day kinda thing. We will see, I move over to my obgyn on Tuesday as a "high risk pregnancy"
I just have to remember that I am blessed, and healthy, and God has a plan.
I hope you all have a great weekend. Its my husband's birthday and his first time home for more than a few hours in such a long time, so I am soooo excited for this weekend.
