1. 4 weeks today! 2. I'm nervous about logistics of this pregnancy... And puking. Feeling fine physically. 3. I made my first 3 appointments hence the nerves about logistics. I really hope the first one goes well because I can't bare the thought of having to cancel. It was the recepionist's idea, but it was scary to book far out.
4. Question: Who is watching The Bachelor?? Come on, I know I'm not alone. (I'm going to regret not going to bed early tomorrow.)
5. Fitness: I took a lot of long walks when pregnant with my girls. I was a runner back in the day. I walked 4 miles every day I was late with DD1 and she still managed to keep her 9 pound 11 oz self in there for an extra 11 days!

@reesaXden I have long planned to buy a pregnancy pillow when I was pregnant with #3! I'm going for it! (Then again my dad's wife just had a baby in November so I may be able to use hers!)

Which one do you recommend? I want one!
And HECK YES I am watching the Bachelor tonight! (in CA so on Pacific time).....
Doing anything baby related today? Called my obgyn to make an appointment and was disappointed to find out that she no longer takes my insurance. I had to do a new search and picked another one that looks great.
Rants/Raves/Randoms: no matter how many times I told the receptionist that even though my LMP was 11/21 but I had ovulated on CD 30 on 12/20, she insisted that I was 6w and change. I have my first appointment scheduled for the 18th which includes and ultrasound so yay! I hope we can see something!!
Questions? None today
GTKY: What is your favorite form of exercise, or if you're not a FTM was there anything you really enjoyed during a previous pregnancy? I love dancing and also Zumba!
How far along are you? EDD? 4w1d. EDD 9/11
How are you feeling? Normal

Ugh, I also O late in my cycle and have read that OBs can be notorious on following the LMP rule. The ultrasound will tell all though Hopefully!
@reesaXden I have a snoogle, it didn't work for a friend so she had it dry cleaned and handed it over to me... Best. Investment. EVER. It helps my hips and my tummy (which is already uncomfy because cramps and bloating suck) and also helps me with my nightsweats. I was tossing and turning so much it was making me really hot at night and now with the pillow I am sooooo comfy I don't do that and I get sleep. (When I'm not awake peeing for the 5th time.)
@zrain it depends on your friend, really, how you'd deal with it. You could call her on the phone, or text her, but if it were me, I'd rather hear it from my close friend in person. I realize that's the unpopular approach, but I'd rather my friends feel like they don't have to hide their happiness from me. Just be gentle. Maybe feel out the situation. Let her know quickly and kindly and then move on. Or if she's not the type to want that news in person, try the phone call or email. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
@FireInWonderland I was looking at the Snoogle last night and my Dh said "do you really need to spend $50 on a pillow? Won't a body pillow do the same?" Umm... Shut your face before I cut you!! Had I of been getting good sleep I would have handled your question with a little bit more patience! Enough said? I think so!
In all seriousness, he doesn't mind if I get it, he was just confused on how it was different than just using multiple pillows.
I'm going to do some research the next few days and will be buying one this weekend!!
@CClark2014 I wouldn't worry about a few feet of difference. Our nursery is about 10 feet down the hall and it's a good distance. We go to bed quite a bit later and don't have to tiptoe around. We also used a video monitor for the little guy so we weren't checking on him unless he was upset and needed us. Now with #2 I'm wondering if I put the nursery in the next room down the hall (which is huge) or move the 1 year old to that room and use the same nursery. Trying to figure out a way least likely to wake our 1 year old all night...

Agreed - LMP was 11/27 but I ovulated around 12/15-17 which puts me back a bit in terms of a due date. Last go-round they went with LMP and my little guy came 10 days after his due date.. but perhaps it was only a couple days after the due date had we gone with ovulation instead of LMP? Oh well!
