This is a weekly check in for anyone who has experienced a miscarriage, pregnancy loss, stillbirth, or loss of a child at any age. Being PgAL is tough--we can get through it together!
Happy Friday ladies! Any fun weekend plans?

2.No appointments until the 15th. I feel the starting of heartburn . Yesterday I was in target looking for a game for DDwhen I sneezed and peed myself. DH thought that was hilarious. I also cry everytime I watch Fraiser. On our way to chipolte and target yesterday i started crying because i was so hungry an dh decided to take the longest way possible to get there.
3. I dont really think about mc. What I worry not us the Nt scan will show and abnormality like sil.
GTKY: im a pisces. I think it fit me more when I was a teen. Idk what I would think of myself as though. I havent kept up with astrology since i was in high school.

2. Any appointments, updates, etc. to share? Good NT scan. 10 days till CHOP to look at baby's heart.
3. How is PgAL brain treating you this week? This has been a good week. Been feeling very positive since the doc checked out heart at the NT scan, but I still have my moments. What if he was wrong? What if they see more detail at CHOP and it's not ok? Deep breaths.
GTKY: what's your zodiac sign? Do you feel like it fits you? Gemini. I don't really know much about astrology, but I know Gemini is the twins, and I feel like my personality is different depending on the situation/who I'm with, so maybe?

3. How is PgAL brain treating you this week?
It's treating me okay but still worry about having another miscarriage
GTKY: what's your zodiac sign? Do you feel like it fits you?
Almost 14 so a lemon
2. Any appointments, updates, etc to share?
Nothing this week. My bump is starting to really show. I wasn't this big until 20 is weeks last time.
3. How is PGAL brain treating you this week?
Pretty good this week. I can't believe my a/s isn't until September. Only 5 or 6 weeks away.
GTKY: what is your zodiac sign? Do you feel like it fits you?
I'm a Libra. I don't really think it fits that well. DH is a Libra too and we're complete opposites so who knows.
2. Any appointments, updates, etc. to share? No appts this week and none until the 20th when I'll have my first level 2. I did get my panorama results which were good, though.
3. How is PgAL brain treating you this week? I'm at the point where it's been too long since my last appointment and I'm too far from my next appt to feel comfortable and confident.
GTKY: what's your zodiac sign? Do you feel like it fits you? Scorpio. Some of it fits, some doesn't.

Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
2. One last week with a happy little hb (I recorded it) and the next one is at the end of the month.
3. Better since the start of second trimester. Past all my worry points and recent confirmation of all being well does wonders.
GTKY: Capricorn, and beyond that, I don't know since I don't follow it. I'm a bit of a flighty creative with an anxiety disorder, so if you know much about the zodiac bit, I'll let you make the call.
2. Any appointments, updates, etc. to share? Had an appointment with the genetic counselor to discuss NT results. Technically the risk of Trisomy 13/18 is still within normal limits, but because of low amounts of the protein they are looking for, my risk went up for my age. Had the blood drawn Thur for the panorama test. Anxiously awaiting those results.
3. How is PgAL brain treating you this week? Not great. I am feeling like I am back on the same roller coaster we were on with the last pregnancy. Everytime I start to feel better and start to really believe we are going to make it through this, something else happens.
GTKY: what's your zodiac sign? Do you feel like it fits you? Aquarius. I think it fits somewhat, but not completely.

2. Any appointments, updates, etc. to share? Appointment last week. Just a Doppler. Although I checked u/s at work and she's moving like crazy. Just found out I'm CF carrier so DH has to get tested now. Hopefully he's negative. I know it's rare but makes us nervous.
3. How is PgAL brain treating you this week? I'm actually doing very well. Although I'm back home in MA for te week. Swam at the cape in the cold ass water so now I'm like crap, hope she didn't freeze. But I just have to calm myself down. Getting a little nervous cuz we're having a family get together tomorrow and announcing to everyone. They know about my previous loss. Nervous to see my grandmother soon. She's not doing well which was one reason for the trip home.
GTKY: what's your zodiac sign? Aries. I'm the epitome of Aries. It's crazy. I'm crazy, hot head, aggressive, type A, work hard, play hard, go for it, extrovert, world conquerer. Lol.

2. Any appointments, updates, etc. to share?
My next appointment is in 11 days, but I'm not counting.....we SHOULD be able to find out the sexes if the ninjas cooperate! I hope we don't have the same ultrasonographer we had last time because she had no sense of humor and sucked. All my pics are blurry too....

Decent actually. I've let myself be excited, but every now and then, PGAL brain slap me in the face and reminds me something bad can still happen.
