AS is scheduled for Tuesday. All tests make me nervous. QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Batman! I like that he's nocturnal. I like the night. He also has the coolest gadgets, not to mention the batmobile! It doesn't hurt that he's rich either

5. I had my recheck A/S yesterday but messed up the time. Will go on Tues.
I was reading in 2nd Tri a post and laughing how someone said putting your registry info on the invite is a no no? Seriously...I have a few pp invited that are pretty upper class and they did that. To each it's own. I don't side eye anyone because it's not my business. I will write my own thank you addresses out but again... in my circle the envolopes are at the table. All these rules!!!!
I'm sure I would get flamed that I'm helping my mom who is from another country and not good with this stuff. Only with the favors though I just find some stuff ridiculous. I do cringe...no offense to you that do this...but asking for diapers and a book and a gift lol. This just all makes me laugh!

Because she's the best person I know and because no matter what life throws at her.. she picks herself up and moves forward. She's the hardest worker I've ever known in my life.

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Next appt is Nov 14th. Forgot how far apart they are at this stage. I think I'm going to start letting the cat out of the bag. I can be a worry wart, but this time around, I feel like telling everyone I know.
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Favorite Heroine, Elizabeth Bennet from Pride and Prejudice! She's such an intelligent, strong, bold and stubborn lady. P&R is the only book I've read over and over and over again.
@NeonNoon - thanks - it was scary but now that I know everything is fine, I feel much better.
@BeckyP005 - I totally agree on the many 'rules' on the 2nd tri and monthly boards with regards to showers. Everyone is different/has different circumstances. Why can't we all just get along? Then again - I do get a kick out of reading those boards (but I don't post)
@Mrs.McIrish - getting so close! Hope you can get some sleep before your little ones arrive
@niknak1208 - that is so sweet that you have listed your mom - I think this is definitely true of most all of our parents - they are superheroes to us!
@Lazzlee79 - Love Pride & Prejudice! I am flying solo this weekend so may have to watch the movie again (or re-read the book - or both!)

4. How are you feeling? OK - definitely more and more uncomfortable and still have a lot of what I think are RLPs - on the underside/bottom of my belly. Have scaled back walking from 4-5miles/day to 3-4miles (then again the weather has been horrific here - nor'easter the other night!)
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Due to bleeding over the weekend I did have an appt and u/s this week (everything is fine and normal - just have a fragile/sensitive cervix as a result of the pregnancy). Next appt isn't until Nov 3rd - the lovely GD test is that day!
Rant - I bought a few new bras towards the middle to end of my first tri. I am now growing again and have to buy new ones (though from what I hear I will continue to grow from here on out - starting to worry how big my boobs are going to get... DH on the other hand is not worried about this as I am sure you can all imagine - lol!)
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Hmm - I would have to say WonderWoman. I remember as a kid we used to watch the Legions of Superheroes - and I seem to recall she was one of the few female superheroes on that show.

1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 8 weeks 5 days 2. Age at delivery? (optional) 37 3. Any other children? Furbabies? One cat 4. How are you feeling? Still starving. I feel blessed that I haven't had MS (knock on wood), but scared that I'm going to gain too much weight because I can't stop eating. 5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Next app't is not until Nov 10. I am very anxious, because they will be doing so much testing at that app't - Maternit21, NT scan, genetic testing, etc. (although I guess they'll be doing a ton of testing at every app't, so I should probably get used to it) QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Wolverine!!! He has always been my favorite, ever since I was a kid watching the X-Men cartoons after school, and it certainly doesn't hurt that Hugh Jackman plays him in all the movies!
1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? Jan 16, 28 wks, eggplant
2. Age at delivery? (optional) 36
3. Any other children? Furbabies? 3 girls, 1 doggy and 1 hamster
4. How are you feeling? RLP is starting up and I am sore.

QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why? I haven't been into them much since I was little....but since I had a twin brother we loved pretending we were the Wonder Twins. Now I enjoying salivating over Thor.

1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby?
May 15, 11 weeks today! Wow! Time flies.
2. Age at delivery? (optional) 36
3. Any other children? Furbabies? None.
4. How are you feeling? Seem to be turning a corner - felt much better the last couple of days. Still a bit tired but it's more manageable. No longer considering an ostrich pillow.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Had an inconclusive result from a routine blood screen for being a Tay Sachs carrier, so have to have another blood draw for a more conclusive test, unless they can bundle this with the CVS I'm having on Thursday - eek! But I'm looking forward to having some more information about this little bean.
Rave: my sense of smell is ridiculous. I feel like I could give one of those beagles that work in airports sniffing for drugs and explosives a run for its money. It's a rave because the experience is just so cool and came on suddenly the other day so I'm still not sick of all the smells. We were having dinner in the living room and I could smell every individual food on the table (including carrots !??!), but also faint scent of windex from the kitchen and that Ikea wood scent from the guest room (there is a new bed in there.) Hopefully this new superpower doesn't turn into a source of rants... so far I'm just so fascinated by the fact that we can improve our senses with hormones! Incredible.
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
I am obsessed by the life of Marie Skłodowska-Curie, who discovered radium and polonium at a time women in science were a rarity. Her biography is a totally gripping read.
"Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less."

4. How are you feeling? Back pain and just tired
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? My belly is starting to peek out at the bottom of my shirt, I already went up a shirt size ugh. Not buying new shirts ....
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why? I don't gave interest in superheroes.
Baby #1 MC November 2007
Baby #2 MC June 2008
Baby #3 Born April 2009
Baby #4 due date February 2015
4. M/s and tired; and headaches just when I wake up. Looking forward to nausea going away hopefully in the next couple weeks. Yesterday I had an egg sandwich for breakfast and nothing besides water until night because I felt like crap all day. Almost didn't make it to the bathroom in time at the store and I had my daughter with me. Talk about a panic moment! Then I had to hang out in the stall with her for a while because I wasn't sure if I was going to get sick again. Oh, pregnancy.
5. Next appointment is in 1.5 weeks but I'm thinking of going in for a heartbeat check tomorrow before we leave on vacation for a week. Some days I'm confident everything's fine and other days I worry. I feel like if I hear the heartbeat again I can really focus on enjoying our trip.
QOTW: I don't have a favorite superhero or heroine but interesting to read others' answers!
1. 1/27/15, 26w5, lettuces :-) :-) 2. 42 3. 1 cat, Latte 4. Feeling mostly good, getting big, measured 36 weeks last appt. Just graduated to every 2 week appt! 5. GTT on Moday and I will get a TDaP too. My last shift is tonight..... bittersweet.
QOTW: Wonder Woman when I was little, she was really the only girl hero.... And with Lynda Carter, she was pretty and awesome! Yep, she was the one!

2. Age at delivery? (optional) 43
3. Any other children? Furbabies? 1ds, 1dd, 2 dogs, 2 cats
4. How are you feeling? Still not much energy but hanging in there. I've had RLP for a while, but usually only last a few seconds upon standing, etc. This week, it has started to last much longer and it cripples me until it subsides...usually lasting about 3-5 minutes. Ugh!
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? 10/27, check up and will probably schedule my glucose test
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why? Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman. Being a product of the 70's, these were the strongest women depicted on TV at the time. I thought Wonder Woman was a bad ass and was obsessed with her. At one point I thought my mom could be Wonder Woman. LOL Nowadays, my heros are strong, independent women that aren't afraid to stick up for themselves and rule their world! (Ya know, women like myself!!)
1. Due date? How many weeks are you? What size is baby? EDD 3.18.15, 19 weeks 6 days (almost halfway!!!), mango
2. Age at delivery? (optional) 38
3. Any other children? Furbabies? FTM, 1 dog, 2 cats
4. How are you feeling? Definitely starting to enjoy the 2nd trimester some! Sometimes the smells are overwhelming, I hate smoke and whenever I'm outside, in public, I can smell someone smoking, even if they're around a corner! Exhaust & gas fumes drive me nuts too, just been trying to stay home! I still have RLP, but just deal w/ the pain now and try to alleviate it when I can. I've noticed all of a sudden that when I'm hungry, I'm REALLY hungry, not sure when this starvation thing came on! I only gained 4lbs in first trimester, now I'm concerned about gaining...
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Yes! I had my level 2 US/anatomy scan last week and was so happy to see our baby boy again (new 3D image in siggy)! He was squirming the whole time, they're making me come back on Nov. 13th for a follow up since they couldn't get any good still images of the heart. The tech said everything looked great and the dr. said no reason for concern, he'd just like to see clearer images. My 20wk OB appt is this Thursday.
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why? When I was a kid I loved Gambit from the X-Men cartoon! He was so cool with his playing cards, red eyes and accent, and he loved Rogue so much! Now with the movies, I really love Wolverine and Iron Man, even though they can be jerks sometimes, the usually do the right thing! Wonder Woman was pretty badass too, I liked watching the Super Friends cartoon too.

Girl! I hear ya!! I only gained 4 pounds by 12 weeks. Now...12 weeks later, I have gained 13 more pounds! I'm glad I'm not alone in my starvation attacks! It must be something with the 2nd trimester! Yep...that's what we go with!! hehe

Met with RE 4/11. 2 IUI's BFN. DE best option. Switched clinics to do "shared" program. Had to retake all tests and a mamm that put me behind and then on a DE waiting list for 12 months.

Still starving. I feel blessed that I haven't had MS (knock on wood), but scared that I'm going to gain too much weight because I can't stop eating.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Next app't is not until Nov 10. I am very anxious, because they will be doing so much testing at that app't - Maternit21, NT scan, genetic testing, etc. (although I guess they'll be doing a ton of testing at every app't, so I should probably get used to it)

QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
Wonder Woman and the Bionic Woman. Being a product of the 70's, these were the strongest women depicted on TV at the time. I thought Wonder Woman was a bad ass and was obsessed with her. At one point I thought my mom could be Wonder Woman. LOL Nowadays, my heros are strong, independent women that aren't afraid to stick up for themselves and rule their world! (Ya know, women like myself!!)

4. How are you feeling?
Definitely starting to enjoy the 2nd trimester some! Sometimes the smells are overwhelming, I hate smoke and whenever I'm outside, in public, I can smell someone smoking, even if they're around a corner! Exhaust & gas fumes drive me nuts too, just been trying to stay home! I still have RLP, but just deal w/ the pain now and try to alleviate it when I can. I've noticed all of a sudden that when I'm hungry, I'm REALLY hungry, not sure when this starvation thing came on! I only gained 4lbs in first trimester, now I'm concerned about gaining...
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Yes! I had my level 2 US/anatomy scan last week and was so happy to see our baby boy again (new 3D image in siggy)! He was squirming the whole time, they're making me come back on Nov. 13th for a follow up since they couldn't get any good still images of the heart. The tech said everything looked great and the dr. said no reason for concern, he'd just like to see clearer images. My 20wk OB appt is this Thursday.
QOTW: Who is your favorite superhero or heroine, and why?
When I was a kid I loved Gambit from the X-Men cartoon! He was so cool with his playing cards, red eyes and accent, and he loved Rogue so much! Now with the movies, I really love Wolverine and Iron Man, even though they can be jerks sometimes, the usually do the right thing! Wonder Woman was pretty badass too, I liked watching the Super Friends cartoon too.
