How many weeks are you? Fruit? 15 weeks / baby is the size of a navel orange!
Rants/Raves? I'm like 95% certain I felt the baby move this week. It's only at night when I'm lying down, but there is definitely something going on!
Dr. Appointment updates? I have my regular 16 week appointment on Monday. I'll get to schedule the anatomy scan, which I'm strangely excited about (even though I'm a STM!).
GTKY: If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? So I just bought a bag of Lancaster soft caramels at the grocery this morning on a whim, and I have already eaten a handful. Holy goodness.
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 15 weeks / navel orange...I feel like that's huge right now.
Rants/Raves? I'm starting to feel something...flutters or maybe its RLP tremors, I don't know. I'm bumping out of this dress I'm wearing today too.
Dr. Appointment updates? I have an appointment next Monday for the quad test. I hope it goes well. We are also scheduling our anatomy scan at that appointment.
@scotten - When are you scheduling your anatomy scan? My doctor said I could do it 18-22 weeks. I so want to do it at 18 weeks but now I'm wondering if I'll get better results if I wait a bit longer. I'll ask at the next appointment too.
GTKY: If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be?
@mkemommy My scan will probably be at 20 weeks, but I'm going to ask if we can do it a week early so that it will fall on/near my DH's birthday. With my DD, I had the anatomy scan at 21 weeks, but I did an elective gender reveal scan at 18 weeks at an independent ultrasound place.
This is the first time I've ever posted on the the "ticker change" thread. I honestly never knew what it was for until it came up in the recent debate about the daily symptoms thread
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 16 weeks, Baby is an avocado!
Rants/Raves? The second trimester is doing great things for my skin.
Dr. Appointment updates? I have my 16-week appointment tomorrow. Should be pretty quick. I'm most excited that I'll get to schedule the 20-week appointment, which should include ultrasound/anatomy scan.
GTKY: If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Lately I've been into sugary/gummy candies, so I'd probably say something like gummy bears or sour patch kids. But if you were to ask me this question a month from now, I could be back to chocolate.
Rants/Raves? MS still hanging around, but skin seems to be clearing. I don't know if that's the skin care products starting to work, or my hormone drama starting to calm down, but I'll take it.
Dr. Appointment updates? NT scan/serum test in the 23rd! (Don't be nervous, don't be nervous, don't be nervous)
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Wow. That's hard. Sour patch watermelons? Riesens?
Rants/Raves? Now that we know it's a seemingly healthy girl it got more exciting and real. Talking names has been so fun with the husband. Also, I've been working with my daughter (14 months) on the fact there is a baby in my belly. When I ask where the baby is she will either touch my belly or point to hers!!! When I held a baby doll like a baby in my arms, she jumped on my lap--on top of the baby--with a book for me to read her. We'll continue working on that one.
Dr. Appointment updates? I met with another OB at my practice about my concerns (that I ranted about last week). He answered everything awesomely and we are moving forward in a way that lines up with the recommendations from the rest of my care team. I feel sooooooo much better. Next appointment is early January.
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Peanut Butter M&Ms, duh.
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 16 weeks!! Avocado/Dill Pickle
Rants/Raves? Eating Vegetables again!! Let my intestinal track rejoice!! Ranting about the new study results about SSRI's and autism. Now trying to ween entirely off of anti-depressant and I'm nervous.
Dr. Appointment updates? Had appt yesterday, got to hear peabody's heartbeat on the doppler.
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Oooh, this is tough... probably dark chocolate, but I love me a twix bar and Reese's cups....
Rants/Raves? I have had a few weeks of hell so finally gave in to medication for my MS and it has been like a new life. My back is still screwed but hopefully I can be a full human again soon.
Dr. Appointment updates? Nope- nothing until week 16. Had my 12 week and hearing baby on doppler was glorious!
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Peanut M&Ms or Galaxy Minstrels. (but I wish I could find Minstrels here in the USA )
How many weeks are you? Fruit? - 15 weeks - naval orange
Rants/Raves? Rants - the bump is still no where in sight - which is fine - however Im getting annoyed with all of the "are you EVER going to look pregnant?!" comments Im getting from basically everyone I know. I have to bite my tongue to say "yes, I will, and then you will just comment on how massive I am". Raves - I felt baby kick twice the other day while I was sitting on the couch. Two very distinctive pops on my lower right side. She likes to hang out on my right side a lot - I can sometimes feel a hard "ball" there when I sit down.
Dr. Appointment updates? I had an US on Monday - baby is active and healthy AND A GIRL! She also had the hiccups during the US - we could hear it when we listened to the HB and could see her little body jump from them.
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? This is super tough, because I LOVE candy. I would have to say cookies and cream chocolate bars.
Rants/Raves- I'm so excited to have gotten to 13 weeks! Every week that this pregnancy continues feels like an amazing blessing. Still nervous and hyper aware of any and all twinges (or lack of twinges). But at midnight last night I thought I was going to cry a little when the date changed over to 13 full weeks.
Dr. Appointment Updates: Going in next Wednesday for a check up. Looking forward to hearing the heart beat again. Since I know I won't have a u/s (unless something is wrong, and in that case I'm praying for no need for a u/s) I don't have my hopes up and therefore won't be sad about "just" hearing the heartbeat.
GTKY- One candy? I call that question ridiculous. There is no such thing as just one candy forever. I need sweet. I need sour. I need salty. I need chewy. I need suck on. I need chocolate. I NEED ALL THE CANDY!
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 12 weeks. Size of a mine craft pixel
Rants/Raves? I'm not getting sick much anymore and my neasua has slowed down to just evenings now. I'm hoping it goes away all together soon.
Dr. Appointment updates? Not until the 5th
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? This is a terrible question that I refuse to answer lol. I could never chose
Rants/Raves? I'm so jealous of y'all feeling the quickening! I have an anterior placenta and my midwife said as a first time mom with AP, I may not feel any movement until 20-22 weeks!!!! My MS is gone, so I'm HAPPY about that!!!
Dr. Appointment updates? I have my 16 week check up on Friday and we will schedule our anatomy scan. I'm excited but a little nervous because the in laws had a few birth defects detected across multiple babies at the anatomy scan.
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Uuuuuuuh, this is tough. Butter mints.
@mkemommy my Dr schedules the anatomy scan closer to 21 weeks. They've had babies that weren't fully developed at 18 weeks for all the measurements and it cause a lot of unnecessary concern. I think they wait until 21 just to be super duper super safe that all things measured are at the developed stage they need to be in. I'd schedule closer to 20 than 18 just to be safe especially if baby has measured behind in any other ultrasounds.
@CopperLane I felt nothing until like 22-24 weeks last time.
I will likely have my anatomy scan before I feel anything. But if baby is healthy, then I don't mind waiting extra long. I just hope my next baby plants itself in a more normal posterior position :P

I had an anterior placenta last time and felt the first movement at 16 weeks, then felt regular movement at 19 weeks. It just depends on your body! I have an AP again this time as well

I'd like to feel baby sooner, I just don't want to get my hopes up and feel sad if I don't. I have very little body fat which the midwife said may help me feel baby sooner, but the placenta is perfectly situated on the front of my uterus. I will start trying to pay more attention to the movements in my abdomen, I have sensitive bowels so I feel like there's always something going on and will likely think baby is just some funky gas passing through.
How many weeks are you? Fruit? 13 weeks Peach, Matchbox Car or a Clown Fish
Rants/Raves? Was talking to my friend at lunch today and I just now realized how crappy my family is! I figured with me carrying their grandchild/niece or nephew they would be nicer. I have only spoken to my mum once since we announced and that was because I called her to tell her how my 12 week appt went. And she didn't really want to talk about it and said she was busy. She also told me not to come home for xmas (first time I have EVER been away for xmas), because she was going to be busy. I called to tell my sister I am pregnant and before I could tell her she said she was busy and would have to call me later... haven't heard from her in 4 days, I know my mum has told her (they don't ever keep secrets) but I would still like to tell her. All I have to say is I thank God all the time for my best friend she has been there for me to bounce ideas off of and tell me what to do and not to do, we have been best friends for about 17 years!
Dr. Appointment updates? I had my NT scan yesterday first part came back normal just waiting on the blood results. My next appointment isn't until Jan. So lots of waiting, which I am not so good at!
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? So I was born in England and now live in the states I would die for a lion bar or a wine gums!!!
Rants/Raves? Stressed out over unexplained bleeding/spotting that has been going on for a week. I made the mistake of googling it, even though my MFM wasn't worried (and I KNEW I need to stay away from Dr. Google), and now I can't worrying.
Rave: after spotting started, I pulled out my doppler for the first time since 11 weeks (titled uterus and AP means put the doppler down and leave it alone) and I found both babies heartbeats. Now I can find them every time and listen to them whenever the worry gets the better of me.
Dr. Appointment updates?
Had ultrasound Monday after bleeding. Both babies were moving and heart rates looked good. "Righty" (Baby A) had the hiccups again. They are head to head, almost cheek to cheek it is so cute. Have my "regular" appointment the 22 for my 16 week scan.
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be?
Rants/Raves? Like some others have said, I swear I felt the strangest fluttering today and I THINK it MIGHT have been baby!! So excited!!
Dr. Appointment updates? I have an appointment on Monday, just regular old OB appointment, but I'll be scheduling our 20 week ultrasound then and I can't wait to see him/her again. We're team green, though, so no looking at the goods
GTKY: (Stolen from Tuesday) If you could only eat one candy for the rest of your life what would it be? Right now, I'd say almond joy.

@CopperLane I also didn't feel baby until 23-24 weeks with my first. When I say feel her I mean that I could distinctly say what it was at that time. I was all hyped up that t when others said they could feel there babies kick etc. at 15-16 weeks. Don't let it get you down if it doesn't happen.

Dr. Appointment updates? NT on Fri! Getting anxious
