Symptoms: Some heartburn, but pretty good other than that. My boobs are annoying me. They keep getting bigger and DH is very interested, but they are too sore!!
Appointments/AW: I **think** I've started to feel some very minor movements. Hoping they get more pronounced over the next few weeks!
Shoes: They are black flip flops with a flower on them. I bought them on sale at 9 West over three years ago. Totally falling apart, but I can't find a similar pair and I refuse to stop wearing them! Second runner up is my Crocs flip flops. Third runner up is a $20 pair of low heels from Payless Shoes. I'm a cheap-o, I can't help it.
Symptoms: Feeling a lot better than I have so far & eating everything in site. I got a really bad leg cramp in the middle of the night so I'm hoping thats isn't going to be a regular occurrence.
Appointments/AW: My OB has me scheduled for a gender scan on Tuesday! So excited!! I'm planning on getting Sprinkles cupcakes with pink or blue colored filling for our Father's Day get together at my dads. Then I *might* finally announce on fb in a week or two.
Describe your favorite pair of shoes: Right now they are the new Life Stride wedges I bought a few weeks ago. I have been in flats since about 6 weeks so the change back to normal is awesome - plus these feel like walking on a cloud!
Symptoms: none, just a belly that is rapidly growing...which is annoying because I have to attempt to hide it until the 25th! (our last day of school)
Appointments/AW: I think I felt some movement yesterday! I'm not sure, but it was on my right side (which has been where they've always found the heartbeat) yet it wasn't low like I expected, but almost around where my belly button is. Also, like @shaddox16 we find out if it's a girl or boy a week from today!!
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: I love anything comfortable and stylish - I live in Uggs in the winter and ballet flats in the summer. I love the look of heels, but just can't do it!
Symptoms: I'm feeling great! This heat sucks, but other than that, I'm fine. I'm still peeing a lot!
Appointments: I find out tomorrow if it's a boy or girl! Can't believe it's already here:)
GTKY: I'm a girlie girl but all I wear are tennis shoes and flip flops....Hehe! But my favorite pair of shoes are my pink heals. The heal is covered with gold sparkles.
Symptoms: Tired on some days but mostly feeling pretty good. Still can't stomach any veggies. I think I felt a little flutter last night but it's hard to tell - I guess it could have been gas, too.
Appointments/AW: I had my 2nd Tri blood work done on Monday. I've been nervous about it all week because my 1st Tri blood work with my NT scan came back abnormal. Last time, they called me 3 days after my appointment. Today is 4 days so it's hard to not get my hopes up that since they didn't call yesterday, everything is fine. Either way, hoping I don't get a call today and that I'll just get that amazing letter in the mail 7-10 days from my appointment telling me everything looks good.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: I have these bright orange Cole Haan ballet slippers that I bought specifically for the purpose of going to SF Giants games in. However, they are so incredibly comfy (they have the nike air thing in them) that I now wear them all the time. I don't care if people say I look like a duck!
Symptoms: The MS might finally be under control. Got a prescription for Diclegis and it seems to be helping! Other than that, still tired, the occasional heartburn and headaches.
Appointments/AW: Nothing until the 26th But I've been having fun with my mom picking up a few items for baby here and there.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: My Vibram Birkams (sp?). I like being able to walk/run barefoot but with the protection of a Vibram sole.
Symptoms: Today my energy is completely zapped ! I can't get off the couch. I'm so glad my son can entertain himself. He's playing quietly on the floor in front of me and watching tv. Counting down the minutes until lunch then nap time :P.
Appointments/AW: We had an elective u/s at 14 wks and are pretty sure we know what we're having. We go NEXT Saturday (the 14th) for a confirmation u/s. I'm so excited!! Next appt is the 17th.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: Nike tennis shoes. I buy one pair a year and wear the crap out of them. (I don't wear any others) My current ones are grey w/bright blue and green designs.
Ashley, DH: Paul
Angel Baby: March 09
#1-BFP: 11.17.09~EDD: 7.21.10~Tristan born 7.13.10 via unnecessary c-sec
#2-BFP: 3.17.14~EDD: 11.28.14~ It's A Girl!~Shooting for a VBAC
Symptoms: Definitely feeling movement, it can get distracting when baby decides to have a dance party in my belly while I am trying to work! I have to pee a lot still.
Appointments/AW: Had our A/S/ today! We are Team Blue!!!!! So excited about our little boy!
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: I am kind of a shoe-aholic, though I have reigned it in the in the past few years. I am wearing my wedge sandals and flip flops a lot for comfort. But my favorite "fun" pair is a pair of red lizard skin stilleto mary jane's with a 4 inch heel (they have an internal platform to sit feels more like 2.5 inches). They were a splurge graduation present to myself when I got my master's degree!

Me: 36, DH: 38, Together since: 2006, Married: 9/2011 **TW Living Child**
@Wicked22--I'm sorry you're still dealing with m/s and a crappy SIL!
EDD/Weeks: 11/15 - 17 weeks tomorrow
Symptoms: Freaking sciatic pain is killing me! I've been doing yoga and walking a lot more, and it helps, but I can't sit for long periods of time anymore. Otherwise, just baby on the bladder complaints!
Appointments/AW: I'm definitely feeling lots of flutters that are not gas. This is the best part! No appointments until the end of the month, which is probably when I'll get the results of the first tri screen.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: I love my flip flops--they're the NIke ones (brown soles with purple inside) and are so comfortable. I also have them in pink and black.
Symptoms: None. Headaches have recently left me. Now it's just my growing belly and giant boobs!
Appointments/AW: This past week we had out 16 week appointment and got to hear the heartbeat again which is always reassuring. We also have our 20 week a/s scheduled for June 27th and I cannot wait!
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: Well I have two favorite pairs and my dog has recently somehow gotten to both of my favorite pairs. I had a pair of black Tommy Hilfiger sandals with little flowers on the front and she shredded those. And then I have a pair of nude heals that were so comfortable and went with almost everything. Well the dog learned how to push open our entry way closet and got to those as well. I think it's time to do some shopping for a new favorite pair.
Symptoms: Promethazine = Best thing ever...as long as I can wake up a couple hours early and take it. I accidentally overslept this morning and ended up with my head in the toilet. (Hey, but on the bright side I'm getting over my fear of vomiting).
Appointments/AW: No appointments. Babies have finally started moving up a little so it looks more like a bump and less like FUP.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: Two words: flip flops.
N14 Nov. Siggy: CELEBRATION!
TTC since 2011
Aug. - Sept. 2013 - dIUIs = BFNs
January 2014 - IVF = 3 freezer babies
March 2014 - FET of AA and AB blast = BFP! Twins!
Nov. 7, 2014 - Wilhelmina "Willa" Suzanne (4lb 14oz) and Ari Jose (6lb 4oz) were born via CS
Symptoms: Still have a bit of nausea/bad gag reflex, headaches
Appointments/AW: I had my 15 week appointment on Thursday - got to see the babe again since they couldn't find the heartbeat with the doppler. Bad news is that I have to monitor my blood pressure several times daily for the next week and then go back next Thursay. They don't believe me that its just overwhelming anxiety due to a prior miscarriage that causes it to sky rocket when I get there. I keep telling them they should just check that at the END of the appointment instead of first thing. Or at the very least wait until after I've seen/heard the baby.
GTKY: My rainbow flip flops. I've had them since my freshman year of college (13 years ago) and I love them!
Symptoms: Swollen feet, sensitive nips and I'm not sure if I am feeling movement yet but I was told today that since the placenta is in front that it might take me longer than others too feel the LO
Appointments/AW: A/S today due to markers for Down's in the Quad Screen but all clear now. Scan went great. The LO is looking great! We chose to keep the sex a secret for now so the tech put it in an envelope for us to open with family in 2 weeks. I don't know how I am going to keep myself from looking.
GTKY. Describe your favorite pair of shoes: FLAT! Anything flat and lets air hit my feet. I can't wear anything else right now lol
Appointments/AW: We had an appointment on Monday and met our OB. We made us all comfortable about the our child being carried/delivered by GC at that hospital! Squirt had a great h/b of 156 bpm! Our A/S is on July 1.
We met our GC and her daughter for ice cream last night so we could give her a flash drive of songs and stories mh and recorded to be played for Squirt! It was a great night!
We have decided on a day care and mh work has agreed to let him go to 2 days a week after I go back to work. It is great to have all that settled so that now we can start to do some budget planning.

Gtky: I grew up with my summers at out family cabin in upper Michigan. I would spend the entire summer barefoot! So... If I have a choice, I'm barefoot. I get into quite a bit of trouble forgetting shoes when I go somewhere.
Symptoms: I think (fingers crossed) the morning sickness is leaving me! Yay! I've gotten a little of my energy back. Having some random aches/pains and lots of headaches. My belly definitely looks more pregnant than just bloated pudge.
