Week/fruit:

Team:

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment:

How are you feeling (rants/raves)?

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

soccsm13 · January 2015

Week/fruit: 11/lime - this seems like a legitimately sized fruit!!

Team: need to know!

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: 1/19 for an ultrasound and physical. I hope next week goes by as fast as this week did!

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? So much better! Thank goodness I can eat 3 meals a day again. I am still exhausted and can't get enough sleep, but that's ok!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
I love love love fruit right now. And cherry tomatoes. Lots of foods make me want to run to the bathroom. Anything strong smelly really. Garlic, onions, spices, yuck. I haven't been drinking as much tea. I didn't drink any when I had morning sickness, but am just back to one cup in the morning. Tough with an energetic toddler, and exhaustion!

lizzypoo96 · January 2015

Week/fruit: 11/lime

Team: Green until we can find out

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: had one on Monday. Everything looks good but she couldn't find the heartbeat since it was too early but we have an U/S Monday so looking forward to that!

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? Feeling much better than I had been M/S is fading (watch now that I say that, it'll come back!) getting back to work this week was probably the best thing for me. I missed my schedule.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

DH's coffee makes me want to hurl every morning, and I used to be a coffee drinker, but now I can't stomach it.

No real cravings, but I miss soda so much! Every time I have one, it messes up my stomach so I've stayed away (to think, all I had to do to give it up with get pregnant!) Needless to say, I'll be trying it again soon now that my stomach has settled down!

jewely24 · January 2015

I'm new-ish (so not on the list) but I'm trying to contribute more!!

Week/fruit: week 14 / a beet
Team: Green (so far!)
Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: had my last appt 2 weeks ago and got to hear the heartbeat for the first time! The next one is on the 19th, but I'm not really sure what to expect at that one. So far our little peanut has been looking and sounding great, so we are grateful

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? Starting to have more energy and appetite. At the moment not really feeling super pregnant, aside from the belly which is no doubt half blump/half bump, but I'm still rocking it, since at this point everyone knows!!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
At the moment my only crazy craving is grapefruit. I eat one every night and would probably eat a couple more if there were more in the house!! Although I'll take an orange in a pinch, like when my husband are my last one, so I didn't have one for a snack last night

Nothing I'm totally missing though. I thought I'd miss booze more than I really do, the break is kind of nice though. Although I'd give my right arm for a glass of champagne some days, which is weird since this was never really my go to drink...

smagglebit · January 2015

Week/fruit: 13 weeks/Peach

Team: Green - but we'll be finding out when it's time

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment:

I had 2 appointments this week. I had a follow up u/s to check on SCH, and it appears to be gone. Then I had my first official OB appt (I've already been into the doctor 4 or 5 times) where they do a boobie exam and swabs up the hoo-ha. Everything is looking good right now. My next appt is another u/s on the 21st.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)?

I've been dealing with some constipation, nausea, not sleeping well, headaches, etc. A friend suggested I try magnesium (because deficiency can cause all those symptoms) - checked with my OB, and he said it was fine. Well it made a huge difference! I've been sleeping like a rock, nausea is totally gone, I've been regular, and no headaches since I started taking it earlier this week! It's nice to feel human again.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

My cravings come and go. Yesterday I had a craving for steak and sauteed mushrooms. This morning it was blueberry muffins. I think I'm pretty much over my aversions. I'll pretty much eat anything. The only food that I feel like I'm missing out on is sushi. I miss sushi. I'll probably make some veggie sushi soon to satisfy that.

Yianna2013 · January 2015

July 10 over here!

jennykayt89 · January 2015

July 10th here too, can I jump in! I was 13th but had ultrasound on Monday, that showed baby 3 days ahead

bluepie19 · January 2015

Week/fruit:
13 weeks/Peach

Team:
finding out. I'm waiting on my Harmony test to come back.

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment:
My last appointment was on December 22nd. My next appointment is in the 19th.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)?
Not feeling much better. I got off my nausea medicine hoping the morning sickness was going to subside. Horrible idea. I'm praying the morning sickness is gone in the next few weeks.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
I have a constant craving for cheese, milk, and spicy food.

babycarb · January 2015

Week/fruit: PEACH

Team: Finding out. We are doing our nuchal test next week.

Recent Appointment: Just this Wednesday for a checkup. Got to hear the heartbeat (160).

How are you feeling: I've had zero symptoms this whole time so I'm fine. I'm just tired with bigger boobs. Will start wearing maternity clothes soon (especially workout ones).

QOTW: I want carbs in the morning, and I am loving cereal, water, and anything salty too.

snlinega · January 2015

Week/fruit: 13/peach

Team: Pink!

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: I had an appointment on Tuesday that went well, going back February 3rd for an ultrasound and blood work.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? A lot better - my nausea is virtually gone - hopefully that didn't jinx it! I am still pretty tired - I fall asleep on the couch every night around 8!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

I am constantly craving carbs and certain types of fruit (berries, apples mostly). I used to love the smell of coffee but now my DH will bring me a decaf latte and it makes me want to throw up. I also used to like chai lattes and they are not appealing to me now.

amhoover88 · January 2015

Week/Fruit: 15, orange!

Team: Finding out

Recent checkup: last appointment was Monday and we heard baby's heart beat for the first time! (162)

Rants/Raves: Feeling less nauseous and starting to have more energy. Downside.. Already experiencing sciatic pain.

QOTW: My main craving would be French fries. And the sight/taste of chicken has no appeal at all!

DenaMaree · January 2015

@soccsm13 Your so right, once you get to eleven weeks it does seem like the fruits only get more realistic and more exciting to see each week. Ten more days and you get to see your LO again, hope the time goes quickly!! Woo Hoo for feeling better!

@lizzypoo96 Yey for a great appointment on Monday! Sorry you weren’t able to hear the HB, but eleven weeks is very early! Hope your ultrasound on Monday comes quickly!! So happy your MS is getting better. FX it continues! I’m with you on loving my routine, I’m glad your able to fall back into yours!

@jewely24 Hearing that first HB is so magical..Yey! I would imagine on the 19th they will check again for the HB, they may do some blood work, and they should check your weight and blood pressure. All standard appointment stuff until your 20 week gender ultrasound. Yey for better energy and a larger appetite to feed both you and your LO!

@smagglebit So glad your SCH is cleared up..huge relief! Glad everything else checked out nicely!! I am definitely going to talk to my OB about magnesium. I don’t have all the symptoms you do, but a few of them. Thanks so much for the information!! I hadn’t thought about sushi in a few weeks, but all of a sudden its a huge craving. It’s definitely on my list for a must once I am cleared to introduce it back!!

WELCOME @Yianna2013 and @Jennykayt89 We are happy to have you join us! Please feel free to jump in, we will look forward to getting to know you!

@bluepie19 Can’t wait to hear about the results of your Harmony testing, should they come in soon? Sorry your not feeling better! Hopefully things start to look up for you soon! I’m craving spicy lately too, but my reflux doesn’t do well with it. Blah!!

@babycarb Best of luck with your nuchal test, will look forward to hearing about it! You are so lucky to not have any symptoms, I’m so glad your able to just enjoy this special time!!

@snlinega Woo Hoo for a good appointment this week! Hope your ultrasound comes quick!! So great that your nausea has gone away so you can just enjoy your pregnancy!

@amhoover89 Hearing that heartbeat for the first time is so magical! Woo Hoo for disappearing nausea, hope you continue to improve! Ugh, the sciatic pain sounds horrible! Will you see a specialist about it?

DenaMaree · January 2015

@NicoleQuinn Best of luck with your first tri-screening. Definitely keep us posted on how everything goes!! Ugh sorry nausea had to make an appearance again, but I'm glad it's helped with the anxiety!

bnk2012 · January 2015

Week/fruit: 15/orange

Team: Excited to find out

Appts: Not til the 20th--when we may/may not find out what the twins are!!! I'm not sure if they'll be able to tell at just past 16 weeks but I'm hoping they will--if not I'll have to wait til the 20 week u/s.

Rants/Raves: Rant--experiencing more headaches Rave--nausea has kind of backed off so I'm super happy about that

QOTW: I want differend food every day but I am not interested in cookies/cakes/ice cream. I'm very surprised at myself since the only reason I used to ear dinner was to justify having the 10 desserts I wanted B-)

tigerlynx31413 · January 2015

Week/fruit:
13 peach

Team:
can't wait to find out

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment:
next appointment is on the 21st, then I get to tell my new manager since I'll be in second trimester.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)?
Feeling better. The nausea isn't nearly as bad as it had been. Not showing yet which is good since I just started my new job this week. I'm hoping it'll hold out until my next appt.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
I'm craving salty things like chips. Also craving oranges and grapes.
There are a few restaurants I love to have particular meals from and they haven't tasted right to me this pregnancy. Very disappointing.

smagglebit · January 2015

@DenaMaree this is the kind that I've been taking. It's a powder, and you just mix it into water. I use the raspberry lemonade flavor. I got mine from amazon. It's supposed to be really good for anxiety, too. I don't have that problem, so I don't know how well it works.

DenaMaree · January 2015

@bnk2012 Ah…you reminded me of how fast our pregnancy seems to be going! DH and I have decided to stay green, but I am so excited to hear about the gender reveals from all my friends! Do you have a guess? My Brother and Sister in Law are at thirty four weeks with twin boys and I know they learned the gender at seventeen weeks, one day. Hope you get to learn as early as sixteen weeks!

@tigerlynx31413 Sharing the news is so exciting! Although I can imagine it’s also a little nerve wracking with having started a new job! I started to pop at fourteen weeks, two days hopefully you hold out until then (or later) also!!

@smagglebit THANK YOU!! I ordered it off amazon right away and will take it to my OB to confirm she is good with me adding it to my medicine regimen.

klirwin82 · January 2015

Week/fruit: 13, peach

Team: found out Tuesday from Informaseq test its a BOY!

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: had NT u/s on Wednesday, sonographer was awesome and kept saying how beautiful he was and that everything looked good. Always so nervous before those.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? I am really, really scared about labor. Having panic attacks and feel like I can't breathe. I don't know if going to a class would help or would scare me more, right now I think ignorance is bliss for me.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
I normally eat roast beef sandwiches but switched to veggie subs

also missing sashimi. Craving cherry tomatoes for the acid, and Filibertos (I think that's even when I'm not pregnant though). I love Filibertos.

shannonota · January 2015

15 weeks today, baby size of a lemon

We find out the 22nd what we are having. I'm hoping for a girl! Due July 3rd.

I'm loving being pregnant minus the awful breakouts.

I cannot stand the smell of ranch dressing. I also crave a lot of sweets and cereal.

shannonota · January 2015

bluepie19 · January 2015

@DenaMaree‌ they took my blood on the 30th of December. So I should hear by sometime next week. On Harmonys website they say that they get the results to your Dr in 7 days. So it should be any day now!

indiejavamama3 · January 2015

Week 15-Orange

Found out yesterday, it's a GIRL

Had an ultrasound yesterday because of cramping & spotting due to the vanishing twin thing ... Baby looked great & was quite the mover... They are pretty positive it's a girl which is exciting since I have 2 boys

Feeling ok except for the cramping, the bottom of my feet have started sporadically swelling tho.. Bleh

QOTW: No real cravings per say, just food in general lol

cwhiteh1 · January 2015

Week 13 - peach!
Can't wait to find out!
I got the results this week from last week's NT scan - everything looks perfect! I go to my doctor on Tuesday morning for a checkup since that scan was at the hospital. Hoping to sneak a peak at the little one again!
I am feeling pretty good! I have a bit more energy and am starting to feel more like myself. I have also noticed a little bump creeping up that wasn't there yesterday!!
Cravings: Pizza. All the time! I am surprised that I haven't really been craving sweets, but there's time for that I guess

DenaMaree · January 2015

@klirwin82 So many congrats on the happy and healthy baby boy!! Yey for a great NT scan! Your fear of going through childbirth is completely normal! Do whats best for you, but my bestie (who has done childbirth four times) told me that when it comes down to it you don’t even consider your fear or anxiety because all you will want to focus on is welcoming your sweet baby!

@shannonota WELCOME! Very much looking forward to hearing how your gender scan goes! So happy that you’ve been able to just enjoy being pregnant, its such a special time. Sorry breaking out has been such an issue, fortunately it should clear up once your hormones level out!!

@lcourter24 Woo Hoo for a great NT scan! Congrats on a healthy baby girl!! I’m a nanny for a 15 month old and can’t imagine how expecting Ma Ma’s do it. I’m exhausted by 5:30P and so ready to get home and curl up with DH for R&R! I do plan to find out one day, but for now I commend all of you that are pregnant and have precious little ones already!! I am rarely interested in dessert, but a blizzard sounds heavenly. I promised DH we could go to the movies tonight, I think his trade off is going to be taking me to Dairy Queen afterwards!

@indiejavamama3 Woo Hoo, congrats on learning you have a H&H baby girl. So exciting! Sorry about the swelling, hopefully it’s not going to stick around! Sorry about the scare with cramping and spotting, but so happy to hear all is going so well!

@cwhiteh1 YEY for a great NT scan! Good luck with Tuesdays appointment. Yey for the returning energy bursts! So glad your feeling well as you prepare to move towards the second trimester. Seeing the beginning stages of that precious bump is so amazing…so exciting!

Happy Friday, ladies!

Week/fruit: 15- a navel orange. Holy cow!!

Team: Cant wait to find out! I'm hoping for a boy.

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/ When is your next appointment: Haven’t had an apt for quite some time. Next apt is Wednesday. So anxious. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? Feeling pretty good, but my gums started bleeding so much. Checked with Dr. Google and it said that it may start happening right around the 15 week mark. Ill have to check with my midwife Wednesday to see what I can or cannot get done.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

No cravings. At the beginning, nothing sounded good. It’s like I lost my taste buds- I was eating whole jalapenos just to get some type of taste. And I actually don’t care for chocolate and coffee. It just doesn’t taste good anymore, which is funny because I used to drink several cups per day.

@shannonota I'm a little jealous that you get to find out already! FX for a girl for you!

edited b/c i copies and pasted and some ms office stuff is showing up. cant get rid of it.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? I'm feeling dry heav-ish today, more than what I've experienced so far. And I woke up with the headache I went to bed with, I'm blaming exhaustion.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from? I've been craving hotdogs

gross haha! Peanut butter is grossing me out, but it did last time too so I'm not really surprised. Normally I'd love to go out tonight and have wings and a beer or two, unfortunately I won't be able to have my beer for a while.

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: today was our most recent appointment. We heard the heart beat, 150bpm. Everything checked out well! Our next appointment is Feb 9 to find out the sex. I am so excited!

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? I feel good. It has been a long week at work so besides being exhausted, I can't complain.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from? Constant craving for water, I never feel like my thirst is quenched.

Team: green for now we keep going back and forth about finding out and I think we mostly will find out but we have another 9 or so weeks to decide anyway
Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: my last appointment was last month, it went wonderfully and we Go back on the 20th so we look forward to that.
How are you feeling (rants/raves)? Pretty good. Much less nausea and exhaustion hoping these are my last few weeks of nausea (my last pregnancy I had nausea all nine months).

I could go on for days ranting about the laundry and dishes that are piling up and never ending and my desire to simply not do them. My dishwasher which normally goes unused has been getting it's fair share of loads this week.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

Mostly craving fresh fruit but also a BLT or a tuna hoagie (tuna is my weakness I could eat it everyday)but I've been trying to eat it only once a week. Last week I went through the pickles thing. I ate a jar of pickles in just a few days. Not to many food aversions this pregnancy although DH constantly wants Chinese and I can't even stomach the thought of it.

BeachMom15 · January 2015

Week/fruit: 14, lemon

Team: finding out Feb 16th!

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: I had one yesterday. Went well, HR of baby was 150 bpm. I also had my NT on Wednesday. The u/s went fine, just waiting on the bloodwork. It is amazing on how much baby has changed since my dating u/s! I even got to see baby in 3D which was pretty cool! Next OB appt in 4 weeks, anatomy scan in 6 (I made it for the earliest date/time, 730am!).

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? I am doing much better. I finally have my appetite back. Experienced some round ligament pain the other day, that was no fun!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from? I always loved chicken, I only had it twice so far. But now that I am getting my appitite back, maybe I will enjoy it again.

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: saw thyroid doc today. It was good. no change in my synthroid dose so yay! Next ob appt is 1/20

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? less nausea yay. More crazy lightning boob. Acne really bad like when I was a teenager.ugh. On my chin and even my back!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving?
I've been eating a lot of avocados lately.i mash them up with garlic, lime juice, salt and pepper. Just eat it with a spoon. So yummy.

Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? Smelling leftovers in the fridge was bothering me really bad for a while. Otherwise no

What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?
coffee- I've caved and had a small one a couple times, but mostly I'm drinking tea on days I feel I need a caffeine boost.

Sushi- I didn't have it terribly often, but I ate it the day before my bfp. I'm ok without it.

Alcohol- normally I have a hard cider on Tuesday trivia night, and an occadional drink or at dinner on a weekend but once I got the bfp, no booze for the forseeable future. Depending on my supply I may be ok with pump and dump if I want a drink that badly at some point.

Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: Next appointment is next Friday, the 16th. I'm going to have the 1 hour glucose test that day. eeek! So nervous.

Then I see an MFM for the first time on the 22nd. Anxious to see what they have to say.

How are you feeling (rants/raves)?

Rave: I think I'm feeling somewhat better. It seems like I can go a little bit longer without eating and feeling nauseous so that's good.

Rant: Although, I think my energy level is returning, it hasn't increased any motivation to do anything. Our house is a MESS AND we just closed on a new house so we need to pack and move. I just can't.

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from?

I have cut back on sugars and carbs. I had GD with DD, hence the early glucose test. I've been trying to take it easy on sugars but I miss it. And I haven't even been doing a TRUE GD diet yet.

Strong smells still make me want to gag. The trash and the fridge are huge triggers.

I think I responded to last week's post too. Oops! I'm due with twins 7/24.

1) 12 weeks today! Babies are the size of plums

2) team green...unless I can change DH's mind.

3)our NT scan is next week, Tuesday. Two hours of watching babies swim around!

4)R & R:not so much except that my house is a mess! Hate that feeling...

QOTW: anything frying makes me sick and also specific textures. I was just telling DH how much I miss bottomless mimosas at our favorite brunch spot, oh and Crispin, I miss that too. Soups and sandwiches have also sounded extremely good to me this week.

@sutavim2 I will be thinking of you on Wednesday, looking forward to a great update on the progess of your LO! I hope the Midwife has so recommendations for you for your gums…ick! Mine have been sensitive on occasion, but no sign of bleeding as of yet. I’ll look forward to hearing about any recommendations your given!

@GHSarfish Woohoo for a great appointment and getting to hear the beautiful sound of the HB! Best of luck with your screening, will look forward to your update on how everything looks! You are so lucky to have missed out on all day sickness! Hope you continue to feel well throughout the rest of your pregnancy.

@jlbaker08 Ugh…the dry heaving is so beyond annoying, hope it went away in a timely manner! I hear you about the hotdogs! Not usually a part of my diet but anytime we walk into Cost co I find myself getting one. My next appointment is also on Jan 21, hope it comes quick for the both of us!

@wineandwalter So happy all went well with your NT scan! Hopefully you get the good news that all the bloodwork came back normal soon. Our baby has been measuring ahead since nine weeks too and I was told the same thing about keeping the EDD based on conception. As long as baby is healthy, it can come whenever it likes ! I’m with you with craving eggs for breakfast. DH is getting tired of eggs as I used to mix it up with pancakes or French toast but recently all I’ve wanted and made is variations on eggs

@mnj05 Woo Hoo for disappearing heartburn!! Welcome week fifteen! I think we may have to go to our local family Mexican restaurant for dinner tonight and I’m not craving queso J

@qtj05 So glad you had a great appointment today, congrats! Hope you were able to get some good rest over this weekend! Water is such a great craving to have..so good for the baby!

@chelsea13elyse I’m so glad last weeks appointment went well!! Hope the 20^th comes quick for you! Yey for disappearing nausea and small bursts of energy! Ha Ha I am so with you on ranting (especially to my DH) about how nice it would be to have him learn to help before baby arrives in keeping up with laundry and the dishes. Frankly mine doesn’t care…GRRR!

@BeachMom15 So awesome that they were willing/able to do a 3D ultrasound for you. I’m not sure if our OB will be doing one and we checked into a private clinic that charges an outrageous amount of money. Blah!! Hope times goes quick for you for your next appointment and especially your anatomy scan! The round ligament pain sounds horrible, hopefully its an isolated incident!

@iteachkids81 Great update for your synthroid intake! So glad your nausea has settled. Ha Ha…we have the same issues with lightening boobs. Poor DH can’t even look at mine without me chewing him out to stay away! Avacado’s are a great thing to crave…I’ve been enjoying them often with my salads. Yum!

@paradebegone Best of luck that all goes well with your glucose testing! I’ll look forward to your thoughts on your MFM! What a horrible time to have to put focus into moving, but so many congrats on your big purchase!!

@Mrs.WaterBaby Woo Hoo for being blessed with double the joy! I hope yout NT scan comes quick and everything looks great! I’ll look forward to your update!

Week/fruit: Week 13, Peach!

Team: Finding out February 5th!
I'm so excited I can't wait

Recent Appt.: January 8th, we got to hear baby heart from doppler. It was loud and clear.
Next Appt.: February 5th when we will find out the gender! ♡

Rants/Raves: Starting to have less morning sickness which I am so so happy for! But the headaches seem to be a everyday thing now, I wish I could do more for that.

QOTW: no constant craving, just random cravings such as chocolate milk, coleslaw hotdogs, and french fries! The smell of chicken patties my DH eats for lunch make me instantly nauseaous!

This is my first time checking in on the Friday ticker change.

Week/fruit: week 13/peach
Team: Green
Have you had a recent appointment (how did it go)/When is your next appointment: My last appointment was New Year's Eve. My next one is Feb. 6th. At that appointment they will be doing an internal ultrasound. My second child was early unexpectedly at 30w. I had been in the day before I had her and there was no medical reason the doctors have found as to her premature arrival. The only thig they could not rule out is a shortened cervix. Therefore, I have to have my cervix monitored every other week from 16-26 weeks to see how it is growing. The only way to do this is an ultrasound. Furthermore, I will start pegestrone shorts at 16w and have them weekly. I am really nervous about this appointment coming up and to see how everything is progressing. Sorry for the novel!

How are you feeling (rants/raves)? I feel great one day and bad morning sickness the next. Cannot wait for the morning sickness to be done!

QOTW: Have you had a constant craving? Is there a food that the site or smell has you instantly nauseaous? What is one thing you would normally enjoy eating/drinking but due to the pregnancy you are stepping back from? I have been craving hot and sour soup. I craved it with my first two pregnancies as well. I really want spicy food. Nothing in particular is making me nauseous.

I love wine and of course have stepped back from that. Prior to pregnancy I drink a couple glasses a week and I miss it...but this is my last pregnancy so I am trying to relish every moment of it and not think of things I am missing!
