2. Age at delivery? (optional)
35
3. Any other children? Furbabies?
Nope
4. How are you feeling?
I feel tired on and off. I also have nausea. LO seems to have picked my stomach and intestines as his favorite organs to kick/punch, making me want to barf or, ahem, use the bathroom.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
I got some blood work results back. I appear to be slightly anemic. Appointment with OB on Tuesday will let me know if I need any treatment.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
I enjoy cook-outs and many things outdoors. I hope to try doing game nights once LO is older.

4. How are you feeling?
Nauseous but OK. At least I'm better off than prior pregnancies.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Just had an appointment and got to see the baby's heartbeat, so that was cool.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
I like to play board games with them like Candyland, Don't Break the Ice, Hiss, Hungry Hungry Hippos, and little games like Rock Paper Scissors. I also like doing electronics kits with my son, and he's the one who always wants to do them. I also like reading their favorite books, and my daughter's is "I Want my Hat Back", and they like the Rainbow Fish series. DS likes the C.S. Lewis Chronicles of Narnia series, and currently loves an old book from the 1800's called "Red Rooney." My husband like to get outdoors and go hiking and stuff, and we go to parks a lot too.
2. 36
3. DS 3 and DS 1
4. I'm feeling awful but not because of pregnant symptoms but because I have a terrible cold. Hopefully when I call my ob this morning she can give me some good recommendations on what drugs I can take. I am a total mess!
5. I was supposed to have an ob appt today but I don't know if she'll wasn't me in her office all sick like this or not
6. I like doing boardgames and books with my boys too
3. Any other children? Furbabies? Nope!
4. How are you feeling? Feeling quite well, adjusting emotionally to the growing belly (it's so weird to see!). No complaints this week!
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? So relieved the anatomy scan went well. We had the best sonography tech - thorough and up-beat; she could tell I was nervous and cracked a joke or two at key moments, which I made me feel a lot better.

QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
We like to travel. We are planning a trip to Washington DC over Easter and taking the train. I am also hoping to make it to see my sister after she gives birth in May but I need to clear the trip with my OB since I will have to fly.

1. This isn't official since I haven't been able to see a dr yet, but according to the due date calculator I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and my due date is Sept 5. Appleseed.
2. I will be 42 at time of delivery.
3. We have one daughter who was born in 2013 on Thanksgiving after several losses. She just turned one. We thought we were done. We also have one dog, a goofy female vizsla.
4. I'm feeling...all over the place. I tried to make an appt with my dr and found out she isn't doing ob anymore. So I have to find a new dr. Nobody wants to take me as a patient without reviewing my records first because they consider me high risk. So I haven't even had any betas yet. I was really worried because with my daughter I was put on progesterone first thing, so I asked my old boss for advice (she's OB/GYN) and she called in the rx for me. I started it last night and had a horrible anxiety/panic attack in the middle of the night. I don't know if it was the progesterone or just my nerves. Aside from all that, I've had very mild symptoms so far. Occasional stretching/pulling feeling, very light wave of almost but not quite nausea every once in awhile, shooting breast pain every once in awhile. Not really feeling anything today.
5. No appts yet, I really hope someone will take me so I can get in and confirm this is a viable pregnancy. With my history I just don't know what to believe yet. My rant is that it used to be a pregnant woman could just go see a dr. This is so wrong leaving me in limbo.
QOTW...our daughter isn't old enough yet to do a lot of the things we love. I love board games. H and I love sailing. I think right now I'd just settle for some good walks.
2. Age at delivery? (optional) 38
3. Any other children? Furbabies? Nope
4. How are you feeling? Still pretty crappy. Exhausted and just gross. Nausea on and off
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? Today 7w6d was when I went to the ER and the beginning of the end of my last pregnancy so it is a big deal.
I had my first ultrasound on monday and we saw a good heartbeat and were measuring on track so that was awesome.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
H and I like going to good restaurants, sporty things (rock climbing and biking) and traveling. We may have to adjust our activities!

3. Any other children? Furbabies?
Nope
4. How are you feeling?
OK - large and sleep is getting harder and harder if that is even possible. And lots more heartburn. Oh - and starting to get anxious because we realize that this little one will be here soon! (exciting but since our first - a bit anxious due to all that is unknown!)
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Had my 36 week this week - had GBS and TDaP - arm is finally no longer sore and will get GBS results on the 6th at my 37 week appt (Jan 6th). OB also did a quick internal / cervical check to make sure baby was head down (he/she is) but as a result I bled a LOT - soaked a liner in 15 min and then went through 2 pads rest of day and I think I may have lost my mucous plug (there was something large, blobby, red and well - mucousy in the evening - sorry about the TMI!)... and what is annoying is I still have some minor dark brown spotting. They said this was normal since I have a sensitive cervix - but seriously don't want to have any more checks if this is what happens!
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
Jan 16, 38wks, I think celery.

4. How are you feeling?
Yesterday I cleaned my house from top to bottom. Today...about to take a nap. I don't even want to look at a piece of laundry.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Just had an appt today. Still 1cm. And a$$hat dr didn't even want to discuss inducing. I just want a date. That's all. Go back next Thursday for my next appt. I think my problem comes with never having seen the same person twice at this clinic and that it is supposed to be a HR clinic yet everyone is so lax. Don't get me started on them sending students in to ask me how I am feeling. This has just been the worst care I have ever received while pregnant. I will be so glad to be done with them. Ok, vent over.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
We love taking little trips places or go camping. But mainly we just like to do things together.

QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try? Like many of you, we love to travel and to hike. Hiked today and the fiance' said that he's looking forward to carrying the baby during our hikes. We like to see new things, too. (Today we visited an animal sanctuary in our town, which was awesome.) Hoping to keep a lot of that going once our little girl is here.
@mandyreads - your produce comparison this week is celery? Lol! That really stinks you've had such a crappy experience at your HR clinic. I get it, you just want a date to hang onto for some sense of certainty.
1. 20w5d, due 5/17, banana
2. 38
3. A toddler and a dog
4. The week-long stomach virus has left my body, yippee! But it has been replaced by a cold, boo. Otherwise I'm feeling good pregnancy-wise. Baby is kicking up a storm and I love the reassurance of feeling him.
5. Appt next week. Even though I passed the halfway mark I feel like I have so long to go. My belly is pretty big already and with so much time left I know it's just going to keep growing and growing....
QOTW: I love to travel and thankfully DD is a good little traveler. It's a small thing but I really enjoy family meals every evening. Family hikes are great. Someday we'll be able to do more advanced activities like theme parks and water parks and board games and flying kites.
EDD - 5/17, which puts me at 20w5d

5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Next appt 1/26 on my 43rd bday!
Rant - I just want to feel decent and have energy. Is that too much to ask for? {{sigh}}
Finally allowed myself to buy something for the baby today. That's a big step for me.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?

4. How are you feeling?
Creaky. I just feel like every joing in my body aches and if I sit still or lie down for too long, it takes me a minute to slowly get the old bones moving again.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
My anatomy scan is on Monday. I am very anxious to make sure everything is still ok, expecialyl since I haven't felt any movement yet, getting good results at the anatomy scan will definitely make me feel less anxious.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?

4. How are you feeling? Okay.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves? My LAST OB appt is on Monday! Whoa! Next up after that is the c-section. Now that it looks like I will make the c-section date (no progress whatsoever), I kind of wish I could wait a few day longer...but that's not going to happen with the repeat c scheduled! Still have a lot of things we're hoping to get done this week in terms of cleaning, organizing, and taking down Christmas. I'm getting nervous now, too. Nervous about the surgery, about all going well, about breastfeeding again, and about how we're going to handle four kids!

Well, not much has changed from last week as far as my back goes, but I'm in full on nesting mode now.
5. Any upcoming appointments, milestones, rants or raves?
Had my weekly BPP ultrasound today and OB appt. Doc has scheduled me for induction on 2/12!! He said my amniotic fluid is increasing and if it continues to increase, he may induce a little sooner. He'll make that decision after the growth u/s on 1/20. Soooo...we are 5 weeks away from meeting our little chimpmunk!! Next up is my weekly BPP on 1/12.
QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try?
Board games, card games...any family game night is a favorite for me!

Breast are still very sore.

An interesting side note -- my sister is also pregnant! She got her BFP a week before mine. She is 6 weeks, so our babies will be very close in age.QOTW: What are your favorite family activities? Are there any new ones you'd like to try? We live in upstate NY and like to spend a lot of our time hiking and camping. There are also a lot of great waterfalls in the area. We also like to travel, go to the movies and to dinner. Because of our busy work schedules, whenever we have free time, we really want to take advantage of it and spend it together.
