If you haven't been tagged, it's because I haven't heard you are still here! Feel free to jump right back in.
Please keep in mind that as there are members who don't yet have any living children (lc) we are going to limit our mention of them to just comparing past pregnancies with the current one, as we want to keep this a safe place for everyone and random lc updates might just hit them out of the blue on a bad day.
I am so glad there are still some of you here. I hope that we can all keep in contact and continue supporting each other. I will try and do the check-in every Friday.
Hugs to all who need them this week.
How many weeks?

How many weeks? 16w3d
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally) Physically I am still quite tired (I'm not sleeping well) and getting some headaches/backaches. Emotionally... I still worry. I'm so happy to be this far along (my loss was at 6 weeks) but the distance between appointments gives my worrisome mind plenty of time to wander.
Any appointments, ultrasounds or milestones this week? Not really, though I am starting to show a little (finally not just bloat!) Next appointment is still 2.5 weeks away and our anatomy scan is still 3.5 weeks away. I am looking forward to feeling baby move so I have reassurance everything is okay in there. So far, nothing but gas
What else is going on? rant and raves this week? I've been feeling pretty grump at work. Trying really hard to be positive, but it's been tough. Also, my husband works evenings while I work days so we only see each other Saturday night and Sunday. I miss him even more lately.
QOTW: What are you craving? Chili cheese dogs and French fries!! (But with veggie dogs and vegan cheese... Don't judge! Still tastes delicious to me
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally)
All over the place... Weepy at times & then worried because of the wait between appts...
Any appointments, ultrasounds or milestones this week?
No, next one is 2/9... I called the nurse to make sure that they check for a heartbeat even though there's no ultrasound... I guess it seems like common sense, but I've really stressed these last few weeks.. I can't help but feel that 4weeks between visits is a bit much, especially after 3 losses... But, it also could just be me...
What else is going on? rant and raves this week?
I'm pretty sure I ranted up there... Lol... I'm just tired, achy, and feel like a blimp...
QOTW: What are you craving?
Sushi... All I want is sushi...
Feeling: I'm feeling ok. I've cut back on my Diclegis and feel more alive.
Appointments: next one is in 2w. My dr gave me a surprise u/s on Wed (I love him) and I got my bloodwork back. Everything was normal!!! Plus we found out it's a girl.
QOTW: DIET COKE. I let myself drink a small glass every few days, but I want to swim in it.

@katrinapr I'm sorry to hear you and your hubby are on such different schedules. I hope you guys do something special this weekend!
@taralinnet I would check with your doctor to see if you can come in sooner if it is causing you too much stress my dr has told me to just call and come in to check the heartbeat if my stress level is too high.
@mch77 Congrats on the great news and your baby girl!!!!
My husband and I are having dinner at his parents tonight, and we will be bringing the turtle cheezecake we made. I think it will be a good night
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally)
Physically I'm still tired. A bit better than in the first trimester but tired. I also have a back pain on and off that makes me feel like an old woman. Hahahaha
I felt movement really early but even though it's still not frequent enough to worry about, every time I don't feel it for a long time I start getting anxious and worried. It's my daily emotional roller coaster.
Also, I don't feel very connected with this pregnancy like I did with the others. It's like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop and that makes me a bit down...
Any appointments, ultrasounds or milestones this week?
No. I had an awsome early anatomy scan last week and we found out it was a girl even though I waa sure it would be a boy! It was a surprise but a wonderful surprise! Next appoibtment is a routine one on the 17th. Oh, the wait...
What else is going on? rant and raves this week?
I officially hate my job. I won't be coming back to it after maternity leave so I wnat July to be here now!! Hahaha
QOTW: What are you craving?
I'm into salty foods but I second the coke/pepsi craving. It's been so long since I had it and now I want it every day!
@CouEddy - thank you for the check in!
@KatrinaPR - I work in shifts and I have at least three night shifts as week. I know how tough it is for me, I can't imagine how it is for you! I hope you get to do something special with him this weekend!
16w5d!
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally)
Emotionally, I'm feeling really good. My appointment yesterday did take a huge weight off of me. I'm feeling really hopeful now, and finally starting to feel excited about this LO.
Physically, not much going on symptom-wise. Occasional headaches, constipation, and such. I'm also starting to feel what I'm assuming is baby moving. I've felt things off and on for the past couple of weeks, but it's starting to be stronger, more consistent, and more distinct. I swear my cat can hear the baby or something. He won't stay off me, and has to have his head right on my belly all the time. I love him, but it's getting a little old. Last night he slept right next to me all night, and any time I flipped over, he came with me.
Any appointments, ultrasounds or milestones this week?
Next appointment is March 2nd (my A/S and I'm soooo excited) - not counting down the days, but really I am counting down the days
What else is going on? rant and raves this week?
Not a whole lot. I feel like the weeks have really started to drag on.
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally) - Pretty good emotionally, physically, my back is still killing me. Before I got pregnant, I got a cortisone shot in my lower back to help with back pain. Well it has definitely worn off and another shot is not an option now. I am going to have to start putting a heating pad on my back tonight to see if that helps.
Any appointments, ultrasounds or milestones this week? I had an appointment yesterday. They took blood and listened to the heartbeat on the Doppler. 149!
What else is going on? rant and raves this week? Everyone is annoying me lately. At work and at home I am pretty much in charge of everything. Remembering when people need to do things, acting as a go between at work... No one can do anything themselves. This is not a new thing either, but now it's really bothering me. I can't do everything! I try to cut DH some slack because he is a disabled vet and had a traumatic brain injury so he sometimes forgets things, but seriously, I can't be in charge of everyone! Sorry to vent, but it's keeping me from snapping at everyone at work today!
QOTW: What are you craving?
17w1d (seems unreal typing that...)
How are you feeling? (Physically and Emotionally)
Emotionally, haha, oh boy. I'm definitely swinging from each end of the spectrum. I'll be excited & happy, in awe of how far along we have come with this pregnancy, then scared to death of all the "what-ifs", followed by the "am I really ready for this?" questioning... top it off by crying at the sappy Super Bowl commercials and I think I'm a certified hormone nut-case. Poor DH, he's been a saint with how patient he has been.
Physically- I'm doing alright, still getting sick quite a bit in the evenings (often losing some or all of dinner), but its become so "normal" that I'm not to phased by it...mostly just annoying. I'm feeling more stretching and will be uncomfortable more often, but nothing too bad. Hoping to start showing more soon...still look like I just gained a few lbs!

Got some exciting news...my SIL (DH's younger brother's wife) is expecting in September...and they just found out they are having twins! We are thrilled for them!!! Its terrible, but I can't help but worry whenever I hear about pregnancies early... the curse of having multiple miscarriages. When they called us yesterday to tell us the twin news, I instantly thought "I hope the baby is ok". Both my DH & I sincerely hope and pray that 3 little ones will be added to our family this coming summer (1 from us, 2 from them!)
