    I see MFM tomorrow, really looking forward to seeing growth! I seem to have gotten much larger and these guys have been sooo wiggly! It feels so strange to feel kicks down low and up high at the same time!
    I feel...hungry. Always. I have some pelvic pain but still nothing like a month ago.
    QOTW: I miss roller coasters and carnival rides. Our community carnival is coming up next weekend, I've loved going as long as I can remember, and DD has never missed a year. I love hearing her giggles on one of the spinning rides. DH and I randomly took off one weekend and spent our Saturday at a Six Flags riding coasters all day, just the two of us. It was September and the park was empty, so we just rode over and over! I want to go again!

    2. My transition into my 2nd trimester was celebrated with a catheter! Last Thursday (13w6d), I literally couldn't pee. As in super full bladder and zero urination. I had to to the hospital where they put in a catheter. It had to stay in all weekend (which was really, really crappy), and I saw my doctor today. He removed it and (thankfully!) I could pee again. The baby is totally OK, and I was so worried about losing him. The thought is that my growing uterus put pressure on my bladder and ultimately blocked my urethra. Sorry for the details, but this the crazy stuff we deal with. Now I have self-catherization stuff in case in happens again.

    3. I'm feeling pretty good minus what happened in answer #2

    4. I miss sleeping on my stomach. It's no longer an option now that my bump has popped a bit

  • 16w5d! My SCH bleeding is limited to brown spotting every few days. And from what I've read that is good so I'm going with that. I think I'm starting to feel some baby flutters, so I'm hoping that continues and gets stronger!

    Next visit is Monday for another U/S check and chat with dr.

    I'm still an anxious mess of course, and looking forward to confirmation this SCH is gone, and viability. Can't come soon enough. I'm still at home on modified bed rest, so I'm hoping that helps.

    It isn't one particular food I miss, but I miss enjoying the food I used to enjoy! All the foods I depended on during my first pregnancy I haven't been able to eat-Mac and cheese, fried rice, burritos from chipotle, etc. :(
