1. I never used to really like cereal, but now I love it. 1a? Especially honey nut cheerios with bananas 2. I think I'm getting sick again; my throat is swollen which is making the ms worse 3. I'm getting out of work early today for my "12 week" appointment 4. Whenever I was on my period and bloated, I felt huge...currently feeling huge 5. I feel like my blump is turning more into a bump, but only noticeable to myself and those closest to me 6. Called my doctor's office and I am going to be scheduling a NT scan 7. Is it normal that I have to check with my insurance company as to whether the NT scan is covered (it is) rather than my doctor office asking if it's covered? 8. I am taking a class called "Families of Children with Disabilities" I picked it because it was the only class that fit with my schedule and I needed another class to get financial aid, I'm actually really enjoying the class 9. Job interview Monday! YAY! 10. Today I am meeting with a previous coworker who was moved into the position I am applying for and am really excited to learn more about the position and his transition.
That was a lot harder than I thought it would be...
1. I don't know what we're doing. Just writing 10 things about us? 10 things we're thinking about? Whatever. I'll play!
2. I'm spending the weekend at a friend's house, and 3 other friends of ours are sleeping over too. See? You can be married, a mom (as one woman is) and STILL have sleepovers with your friends!! I can't wait.
3. My DH is so freaking awesome. In exchange for me making him coffee this morning, he went out and started my car, cleaned some ice off of it, and drove it down to our building (it had been parked up the street).
4. I was blonde FOREVER, but dyed my hair a dark, dark brown after I got married. Lately, I really miss being a blonde, but it's so much maintenance.
5. I have my NT scan on Friday morning, and although I'm a little nervous, I'm mostly excited for another chance to get to see Bloob (yes, that's what we call it.)
6. I'm mad at myself for how little I've been exercising. I think I should cancel my gym membership and buy myself a cheap elliptical to use at home.
7. I want a new car SO BADLY but our savings account is bigger than it has ever been before, and I don't want to change that. Tough call.
8. I cannot wait to have an actual bump. Maybe I won't just feel bloated and ugly then, but pregnant.
9. I really seriously hope my boss decides to WFH today. I could use a relaxing work day.
10. I miss drinking coffee every morning, but I LOOOOVE having my cereal in bed instead.
1. I woke up early because my child was on my bladder......don't have to work til 3p
2. It's cold outside we had snow and flurries today not looking foward to drive later
3. My throat was ticklish yesterday and woke up with a cough and stuffy nose hate getting colds
4. I have been gassy lately which have never experienced so much in my life... I love it said no one ever
5. Currently thinking what I will eat for breakfast because I have hunger of a fat kid that needs lots cake
6. Watching morning news and I never do and just found out some men in orange county have escaped that's scary thank God i don't live out there no more
7. Lately all I do is sleep and work and when I'm at work I just see my bed flying ..... the joys of pregnancy
8. Wish I was in a warmer place because living here in Iowa in the winter makes you want to hibernate all the time and not get up to do absolutely nothing but just cuddle and be under the sheets
9. Well weather is headed to the upper 40s by the end of week and weekend but more snow on monday.....seems like Mondays which are my days off it seems to snow so I stay home and completely achieve nada nothing. Blah
10. January is almost over where did it go..... there was too many birthdays so far this month in my familia and my madre's family yay February is almost here and don't have to worry about much but valentine's thank God
1. I live in WI, thankfully we've had the most mild winter so far with not much snow on the ground and fairly mild temps (very rare), but it's still not warm enough for many activities outdoors which makes me a little stir crazy.
2. Part of why I'm stir crazy is that I was laid off on July 31, and haven't found a new job yet. My unemployment runs out next month and it's making me a little anxious. It's not for lack of trying, but I'm in a highly specialized field and trying to find something has been tough.
3. Finding out I was pregnant in December, really was a blessing in disguise. It came when I really needed something positive to focus on.
4. I'm getting really anxious, we don't have our first ultrasound until next Tuesday (I'll be 10w5d) and I'm starting to question how the baby is doing!
5. While being unemployed, I really decided to focus on my health (needed something to do), so I started working out and eating better and lost 15lbs. I think that definitely helped in me getting pregnant and having a healthy place for the baby.
6. Everything happens for a reason, I just need to keep telling myself that. The job loss, weight loss, this pregnancy are all for the best and I'm positive things will work out the way they are supposed too!
7. This is a bit selfish of me, but my SO's sister is 6 days more pregnant than me. She announced at xmas (at 6 weeks) and it's all everyone can talk about. While I'm thankful and happy we will have children close in age, I selfishly wish it was just me.
8. We have only told our parents and two sets of close friends. That's it. Our siblings don't know yet and we are waiting til after the ultrasound next week to tell them. His parents weren't excited (was disappointing) and mine were really excited so I'm hoping for more positive reactions besides the when are you getting married question? We've been together almost 4 years.
9. I cancelled our trip to the Dominican because of the Zika virus. Part of me feels like because I did that before the u/s that I'm jinxing the baby for something bad to happen. Damn emotions! Just need some peace of mind next week!
10. I'm debating buying a fetal Doppler but I'm thinking I might just make myself crazy if I buy one. I feel it's kind of like pregnancy tests, I took 6 before I made myself not take anymore. Although lately I kind of want too!!
1. I grew up in the north and now live in Texas. I moved here for work but ended up falling for a true Texan, so I'll never leave. 2. I am so hungry almost all the time, either that or uncomfortably full. There is no middle ground. 3. I ran up until the day before my first was born. I hope I can do that again. 4. I should be working right now. 5. I am currently still nursing my 19 month old and I am not sure if I will wean at 2 years and have 2 months of my boobs to myself, or keep going and tandem nurse. I doubt she will wean herself before then. 6. I have been craving buffalo wings so hard. 7. I just noticed I have little splatter stains all over the right side of my cardigan. 8. Still haven't told anyone besides my boss (and DH, of course). I don't want to. I might wait until I'm showing too much to deny. I just kinda hate people right now... We told last time at 14 weeks, so we'll see. I'm only 10 +2. 9. I intended to stay up after DH left for work (at 5:30) but I went back to bed and snuggled with DD and played on my phone. 10. I rarely get my daughter dressed before she goes to the babysitter's. Especially if she's wearing her Sophia the First jammie, she's obsessed with it.
I'll take a stab at 10 random things about me..

@tmk0325 I took 6 as well...and I bought a Fetal Doppler. I was able to find the heartbeat for the first time Sunday night, I am 10wk 6days, and I totally cried. I actually bought it so that my mom could hear the heartbeat, she lives across the country from me. But now, I totally love having it at home. Hope your week is great!
first time momma -a heart at peace gives life to the body-
@Tnallen107 I'm going to wait until after our appointment next week and see how that goes before I decide to buy one. Happy to hear you were able to hear it at home!
1. I woke up about 8 times last night. 2. I recently started taking reformer pilates classes and I am obsessed. I am hoping I can do this throughout this pregnancy as well as run. Hopeful that I can at least try and keep my arms and legs in shape. 3. Starving ALL. THE. TIME. 4. Leggings will probably be my pants of choice all week. By the end of the day I am SO bloated. 5. DD is going through a little bit of the terrible-twos. My husband leaves for a work trip for a week soon and I am not quite sure how I am going to manage without losing my cool. 6. DH is a saint. He has picked up so much of my slack without saying a word. He really does make me want to be a better person, as sappy as that sounds. 7. I am seriously craving egg and sausage sandwiches. I could eat one every morning. 8. Our board of directors is in the office this week, so I have to put on a happy, professional face. And I need to not rely on dry shampoo to make my hair look decent. 9. January is my least favorite month of the year. 10. I may make cookies tonight just so I can eat a tiny bit of cookie dough.
1. I have my 12 week appointment today too! @MSUgrad12
2. I change my hair color about 304845 times per year. I just went from black back to blonde a few weeks ago. And I'm with you @Hummingbird125 it is a lot of work/maintenance, but I missed it! I'm going to go to a balayage (kind of like an ombre) before baby comes to minimize maintenance.
3. I'm slightly worried about my appointment today because I've lost 3 or so pounds since my 7 week appointment, and my midwife said I should gain 1-5 by 12 weeks. I'm sure it's fine, but I can't help but worry.
4. I start classes for a new volunteer opportunity next week. I'll be working as a Child Advocate - advocating for children in the foster care system. I can't wait to do something to give back!
5. I'm currently one year out from graduating with my Bachelor's degree, which is all online. I cannot wait to be completely done with school.
6. I've seriously considered going to Law School, and then I remember that I know about 58 people with Law degrees who don't practice law because the market is so saturated in Omaha.
7. I'm currently planning a vacation to Great Wolf Lodge for our kids. I'm so excited to see the looks on their little faces when we get there!!
8. My cat thinks he's a dog. He drinks from the toilet, chases and wags his tail, and comes when called.
9. I'm currently waiting for a call back from my Dentist's office to find out if I can get invisalign when pregnant. I really want straight teeth and finally saved up the $4k they need up front to get it done.
10. I'm really good at karaoke. I've won competitions and actually have people at karaoke bars request songs from me. Singing is one of my very few talents.

"Success is going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm." -Winston Churchill
1. I'm currently waiting for the results of my breast ultrasound and the suspense is killing me!
2. So excited for my NT scan on Friday and a chance to see my lo again.
3. My mom is at my house watching DS while I'm at this appt and that makes me so happy because she always cleans and does laundry when she's there
4. I'm contemplating getting a donut on my way home because I saw someone eating one in the waiting room magazine and have been craving one ever since.
5. I have to make a work call this morning (it's my day off) and I'm dreading it because it's not a happy one.
6. I don't want what we had planned for dinner tonight but we have to eat it before the veggies go bad.
7. I'm so bloated today that I contemplated pulling out my maternity jeans.
8. I just got an email that the faux leather maternity leggings I ordered are out of stock and won't be sent to me, grrrr I was really looking forward to those!
9. I took a pause because the doctor came back... They still think it's benign but I have to go to a surgeon to get a biopsy.
10. I have none left, this was harder than I thought!
1. My son got to practice walking with a gate trainer for the very first time Friday...and he did amazing! 2. I'm at 12 weeks and all my symptoms went away. 3. That freaks me out because last pregnancy I was miserable and felt like dying daily. 4. I'm ready for a nap. 5. My husband just left for a couple weeks and I'm spending some extra cash to have my house professionally cleaned because I feel like being lazy. 6. My next appointment is Feb 1st. I absolutely loathe ultrasounds because more often than not I have gotten terrible news. It always seems like my husband is gone when I get this news so I'm feels antsy about having to go without him in Monday. 7. I'm currently reading "the husbands secret". 8. I'm not going back and capitalizing the title. 9. I'm getting tired of talking about myself. 10. I missed the bachelor last night and need to catch up today!
1. It snowed here last night. Guess who decided to leave this morning without shoveling? Thanks DH. 2. I decided to start cleaning the bathrooms today. Got one toilet done and I'm already needing a break. Where is that second trimester energy? 3. I miss my best friend. I moved to Wisconsin in March and still haven't really made any friends. I've tried meet up groups and socializing with DH's friends' wives. No dice so far. 4. It is way harder to come up with things than I thought it would be. 5. Thank you to whoever posted about the Target baby sale. I got our high chair and diaper last night. 6. My mother has at least one name suggestion every time I call her. I have just started telling her that I'll add it to the list, regardless of if I actually like it. 7. I miss HGTV. I would reorder cable just for that channel alone. 8. I'd like to skip work this afternoon and just nap. 9. I have been eating at least 5 clementines a day. 10. I keep forgetting my prenatals. I skipped a day or two due to nausea and now I can't seem to get it back together.
While I procrastinate doing any real work.... 1. My NT scan is on Friday - can't wait to see baby again! 2. This pregnancy has already been so different from my first, I don't know what to make of it and it's driving me nuts! I hope this doesn't make me not want to be pregnant again, because I'd really like to have at least kids. 3. I'm so annoyed that shows now have "mid season breaks." When did this start and who had the bright idea....I hate it!!! I need my Walking Dead and How To Get Away With Murder back! 4. I have to travel for work next week and for the first time since being back from maternity leave with DD I'm actually not looking forward to it. I'll be gone Mon-Fri, and I feel bad that DH has to take on all the at-home responsibilities at the same time as his close week at work. 5. I have to travel again mid-February, so I'm home for a week then leave again, and that trip is to Vegas and I'm sooooooo pissed that I won't be able to drink while I'm there (this will be my 4th time to Vegas). Like irrationally pissed lol. My boss and I always have a good time at the bar on our trips, so the vibe is going to be very different this time. 6. Someone brought in Thin Mints yesterday and I'm pretty sure I ate at least a sleeve of them myself - not all at once - but in aggregate. Hope no one noticed! 7. I've been considering getting a second master's degree in Pharma Compliance, and it would be all online, but I'm.Just.So.Tired. I can't imagine starting it with two kiddos at home. 8. I HATE exercising, but I really need to start again for my health during this pregnancy so my BP doesn't get crazy. I have every excuse in the book. 9. I tried my doppler last week around 11w and nada. Last time my midwife was able to pick up the hb on the dopper at 9w, so I'm kinda bummed I couldn't find it. 10. My 19 mo old daughter dresses better than I do, not cool, especially since a lot of my regular clothes give me a tire around my mid-section now, but I'm nowhere near needing maternity clothes. I think I'm just going to start wearing them anyway.
1. I got to have an early ultrasound yesterday due to the doctor wanting to check on the cramping and weird discharge I have been having. First time seeing lo and it was great! 2. I just got back from lunch and am so wishing I could take a nap. 3. I think the sound of having someone professionally clean my house sounds fabulous @juleswalsh. 4. I downloaded Virtual Families 2 on my phone to see what the big deal is about it. DD and her friends love it and I am now addicted to taking care of my little people. 5. My husband hates said game because he feels ignored sometimes. 6. I NEVER use salt when I cook only spices. I am not a fan of salt. But this pregnancy, I cannot stay away from salt! 7. I am signing my dh and myself up for a CPR class and our 11 year old dd for a babysitting class. 8. We are going to a car show this weekend and everyone is super excited about it but me. 9. I really need to dye my hair! I have tons of grays coming out but am afraid it won't take. I don't want to end up with green hair. 10. I love retractable highlighters! We use highlighters a ton at work and it is a pain to keep taking caps off and putting them back on. Even worse, if you don't put them back on, the marker dries out. Retractable fixes all of this!
jamiesc58 The SMELL of coming home to a professionally cleaned house is even better Every other Thursday at my house....aaaaaaah so good! And thanks for the reminder about CPR, I meant to do it with DD but we just never got around to it. I've always been certified, but I think it's important for both of us to have it, plus mine needs to be renewed by now.
1. I finally have my first real appointment on Friday! No ultrasound, but will get to hear baby's heartbeat!! 2. I'm also really nervous that something could be wrong, but have no reason to believe that. Just praying for the best and thinking positively! 3. I have to see the hematologist next Friday for abnormal blood work. While most likely it won't be anything serious, my mom is panicking that it's something terrible. Usually I'm the worrier, so this is making things interesting. 4. I am home from work today because on top of the blizzard, there was freezing rain during rush hour this morning. I don't live in a busy area, but it was going to take me two hours to get to work instead of the usual twenty minutes due to all the accidents so I turned around and am not attempting to work from home. I'm enjoying being in comfy clothes in front of the fire! 5. I am jealous of my cats... I wish I could lay around with them all day. 6. I also coach gymnastics on the side and while I really enjoy it, by the time it's time to go coach I'm sooo tiredddd. Come second trimester energy... get here faster!!! 7. @DressageDarling I also miss HGTV and wish we could get cable back just for that (it's only been two weeks with no cable... haha) 8. I ordered my first maternity clothes and am excited for them to come! 9. Last week two coworkers said they think I'm starting to get a bump.... I'm 99% sure it's bloat. So I guess I'm looking fat nowadays 10. I need to find some healthy food options that don't sound repulsive. Cooked veggies could not sound any less appetizing.
1. It snowed here last night. Guess who decided to leave this morning without shoveling? Thanks DH. 2. I decided to start cleaning the bathrooms today. Got one toilet done and I'm already needing a break. Where is that second trimester energy? 3. I miss my best friend. I moved to Wisconsin in March and still haven't really made any friends. I've tried meet up groups and socializing with DH's friends' wives. No dice so far. 4. It is way harder to come up with things than I thought it would be. 5.

I skipped a day or two due to nausea and now I can't seem to get it back together.
@DressageDarling which part of Wisconsin are you in? I'm in the central part of the state!
1. I have lived in a rural area of VA all of my life. Most of my family is within a 10 mile radius of me. 2. I am currently in my last semester of a psychiatric nurse practitioner program. 3. I work night shift and it has been killing me. I have to hide in random rooms to take a nap when we have downtime. 4. I had a hypoglycemic episode in the store today. Literally thought I was going to pass out in the grocery store and I had just eaten three hours before. 5. This baby is a marine corps ball conception 6. My husband's ex-wife and my ex's wife are both pregnant and due around the same time as me. I was bitter for a second, but now I am happy for all of those expecting. No one's gonna steal my sunshine! 7. I really want to get my roots colored, but my doc told me not too 8. I will know the sex of the baby from genetic testing within the next week! 9. This is my first baby, but I do have a 3 y/o stepson that I love like my own. 10. My stomach is already poking out and I can't wait for it to get bigger. Just ordered a pregnancy pillow and I'm so excited to use it!
1. I am trying to be more active on the board, so this seems like a good time to jump in! 2. I live near Milwaukee, but spent most of my life outside Chicago. 3. I was part of a mom's group when my DD was born in 2005, and many of those women are still my closest friends. I can't believe it's been 11 years, and we are all over the world! 4. I have two DD's, one is 16 and the other is 10. I feel like a FTM mom some days with this pregnancy. 5. I was diagnosed with a large subchorionic hemorrhage on New Year's Eve, and have been so paranoid of getting too attached to this baby since then. I question everything, right down to how much of a bump I have showing. 6. I am still taking meds for nausea. I was so so sick early on, throwing up 12-14x a day, and I'm so nervous to stop them. 7. My husband has matured so much since our last baby. This time, he has been so wonderful and on top of everything. He said to me that he doesn't remember me being so sick last time, and it was because he wasn't really around. I think that made him sad. 8. I would really REALLY love a chocolate milkshake from Portillo's right now. This says a lot, since I'm not a sweets person. But that would really hit the spot! 9. I want to go home, but my house has a weird smell that only I can smell (it's like garlic, or sour milk?) so I hide in my room until I fall asleep at 7. 10. I wouldn't mind going to bed right now.
1. I'm slightly obsessed with my dog - like throw him a birthday party with his other puppy friends kind of obsessed.
2. We just booked our baby moon and I'm so excited! We are staying at a ranch in Paso Robles (central California wine country) with horses, cows, llamas, donkeys, deer and we are having my maternity photo shoot there too!!
3. My baby sister is turning 25 this weekend and she's having a "quarter life crises" lol - nothing major but she's a self proclaimed drama queen so it's cute
4. I just watched trainwreck and was surprised by how funny it was.. I've had a long-standing crush on bill hader but never looooved Amy schumer from her stand up
5. I volunteer for an amazing organization that helps bring monthly reading groups to inner city schools near downtown la where the majority of students primarily speak Spanish at home - it is by far the most fulfilling thing I've ever been a part of
6. I hate pasta - which is even more odd since I'm from a huge italian family. Give me sauce, meat and garlic bread alllll day though.
7. I deleted my facebook over a year ago and I really could care less!! I Was so over the lame videos, lists of useless facts and whiney and/or braggadocious posts.
8. My wedding cake was a $10 Boston cream pie from the grocery store and my and DH crack up over it while my mother gets steamy mad that we did that Haha.. Oh and someone cut a slice out on accident before we cut it officially lol
9. I've always thought Disneyland was corny but, now that we have a babe on the way I absolutely cannot wait to take them and get Mickey ears and take pictures with the characters and eat dole whips and everything else that comes with it
10. I drank all of the pickle juice out of the jar last week and it was deeeeeelicious
7. Is it normal that I have to check with my insurance company as to whether the NT scan is covered (it is) rather than my doctor office asking if it's covered
I was also told to call my insurance to ask if it is covered. Last time at a different hospital I paid ~$650 OOP bc I was subjected to 20% coinsurance or something like that. When I called insurance this time I asked the rep if I could get estimated OOP expense for billing code the office gave me for the NT scan. Turns out the two codes given to me were lab work.
So the awesome rep called my office and got the correct code for the ultrasound. This time at a new hospital I am going to I should expect to pay ~$95 for the ultrasound. I am excited for the reasonable price but won't believe it til I get the bill. And just for the hell of it I asked about the code for the 18 week scan but the rep didn't know the code without calling the office back so the rep gave me a price for an ultrasound that may have been the 18 week scan. That one is about $91. I will definitely be asking for the code when I go for my next appt.

@DressageDarling@tisunge602@bonella99 that's awesome we are all in WI! I am the farthest from all of you, 2 hours north of Madison and 3 hours from Milwaukee (by Stevens Point), but I would be more than happy to come to Madison one day and maybe we could all get lunch and meet! Of course not for a few more months when the weather is a little nicer and we are all a little further along.
1. @bonella99 Omg Portillos..... Unfortunately the closest one to me is 8 hours away. KC NEEDS one. Or I just need a trip to Chicago. 2. I'm turning into my mother- I recently took up cross-stitching as a hobby. She handmade my stocking and I want to make one for my baby. 3. Had my 12 week appointment today and heard baby's heartbeat. Best sound in the world. So in love right now. 4. Even with how happy I am right now, I am sooooooo tired of having to pee every 20 minutes. Including at night. 5. Netflix binging Glee right now. Had a meltdown the other night when I watched the episode where they remember Finn. 6. Any suggestions on shows to watch when I'm done with Glee? 7. I hate posting through the app. You type up a big long post and then when you try to post it, "You don't have permission to do that." Bite me. 8. I hate out upstairs neighbor. He let's his little demon spawn run marathons and that little kid sounds like he is sumo wrestling when he runs. 9. Crock pot chicken ranch tacos for dinner tonight. Gimme gimme!!! 10. Thank goodness my birthday is around the corner. I want cake. Pink champagne cake from my favorite bakery to be exact.
1. Finally felt good enough to take down the Christmas tree and decorations. 2. I over did it and now feel nauseous and have a headache. 3. DS is home sick the next couple days with a double ear infection and a virus. 4. We found the hb on our doppler! We could barely hear it, but it was showing a count between 145-150. 5. My first appt is tomorrow with the nurse. They said to plan for it to last at least an hour... I didn't have this last time so I wonder what she's going to do. 6. I hope I get to sleep in again tomorrow. 7. Everyone is assuming we are having a gender reveal party... I don't really know why but I keep getting pins sent to me and things on my fb wall. 8. My sister and I are doing a craft show next month and I'm really hoping they put our tables by each other so I have someone to watch my table when I have to run to the bathroom! 9. I am feeling a bowl of cereal before bed... 10. DS just spotted the doppler and wants to listen to his "beat heartbeat" so this should be interesting.
1. I wasn't around yesterday, but I want to play anyway, so I'll post late. 2. I am also loving cereal right now. I didn't realize it until I went to make myself cereal this morning and we were out of milk. I got bummed and ended up eating pancakes, which were not enjoyable at all, even though I usually love them. 3. I told my boss that I was pregnant yesterday. Even though she's the most laid back boss I've ever had, I was so nervous to tell her. Of course, she was excited and very supportive. 4. I find that I am nervous to tell ANYONE I'm pregnant. When we announce to friends, I make DH do the talking. I have no idea why I get so nervous about it. 5. A Macy's near me is going out of business and has put everything on clearance. We've been holding off on buying anything baby, but I'm looking forward to hopefully finding some great deals...if not on baby things, at least on maternity clothes. 6. We got our Harmony results back this week. All good news! 7. Since we were split on team green v. finding out - we agreed that DH could find out, but he's not allowed to tell me or our friends/family. He's known for 2 days now and he hasn't slipped up yet. I'm feeling pretty excited that he knows, even though I don't and I don't want to. 8. We booked a cruise to Key West & Grand Cayman for a babymoon. This will be our first cruise and I'm SO excited. 9. It's cold and gloomy outside, so I want to go on said cruise right now. 10. I'm looking forward to telling more of our close friends that we're expecting in the next few weeks, but I'm also a little bummed to let go of "our secret".
@MamaKSquared Grand Cayman is probably one of my top three places I have ever been. It's gorgeous there. I went there on a cruise 5 or 6 years ago and went swimming with sting rays. It's was the coolest thing ever! I'm so excited for you!
Re: Ten Things Tuesday
1a? Especially honey nut cheerios with bananas
2. I think I'm getting sick again; my throat is swollen which is making the ms worse
3. I'm getting out of work early today for my "12 week" appointment
4. Whenever I was on my period and bloated, I felt huge...currently feeling huge
5. I feel like my blump is turning more into a bump, but only noticeable to myself and those closest to me
6. Called my doctor's office and I am going to be scheduling a NT scan
7. Is it normal that I have to check with my insurance company as to whether the NT scan is covered (it is) rather than my doctor office asking if it's covered?
8. I am taking a class called "Families of Children with Disabilities" I picked it because it was the only class that fit with my schedule and I needed another class to get financial aid, I'm actually really enjoying the class
9. Job interview Monday! YAY!
10. Today I am meeting with a previous coworker who was moved into the position I am applying for and am really excited to learn more about the position and his transition.
That was a lot harder than I thought it would be...
2. I'm spending the weekend at a friend's house, and 3 other friends of ours are sleeping over too. See? You can be married, a mom (as one woman is) and STILL have sleepovers with your friends!! I can't wait.
3. My DH is so freaking awesome. In exchange for me making him coffee this morning, he went out and started my car, cleaned some ice off of it, and drove it down to our building (it had been parked up the street).
4. I was blonde FOREVER, but dyed my hair a dark, dark brown after I got married. Lately, I really miss being a blonde, but it's so much maintenance.
5. I have my NT scan on Friday morning, and although I'm a little nervous, I'm mostly excited for another chance to get to see Bloob (yes, that's what we call it.)
6. I'm mad at myself for how little I've been exercising. I think I should cancel my gym membership and buy myself a cheap elliptical to use at home.
7. I want a new car SO BADLY but our savings account is bigger than it has ever been before, and I don't want to change that. Tough call.
8. I cannot wait to have an actual bump. Maybe I won't just feel bloated and ugly then, but pregnant.
9. I really seriously hope my boss decides to WFH today. I could use a relaxing work day.
10. I miss drinking coffee every morning, but I LOOOOVE having my cereal in bed instead.
2. It's cold outside we had snow and flurries today not looking foward to drive later
3. My throat was ticklish yesterday and woke up with a cough and stuffy nose hate getting colds
4. I have been gassy lately which have never experienced so much in my life... I love it said no one ever
5. Currently thinking what I will eat for breakfast because I have hunger of a fat kid that needs lots cake
6. Watching morning news and I never do and just found out some men in orange county have escaped that's scary thank God i don't live out there no more
7. Lately all I do is sleep and work and when I'm at work I just see my bed flying ..... the joys of pregnancy
8. Wish I was in a warmer place because living here in Iowa in the winter makes you want to hibernate all the time and not get up to do absolutely nothing but just cuddle and be under the sheets
9. Well weather is headed to the upper 40s by the end of week and weekend but more snow on monday.....seems like Mondays which are my days off it seems to snow so I stay home and completely achieve nada nothing. Blah
10. January is almost over where did it go..... there was too many birthdays so far this month in my familia and my madre's family yay February is almost here and don't have to worry about much but valentine's thank God
Feel like I'm complaining and bored bahaha
1. I live in WI, thankfully we've had the most mild winter so far with not much snow on the ground and fairly mild temps (very rare), but it's still not warm enough for many activities outdoors which makes me a little stir crazy.
2. Part of why I'm stir crazy is that I was laid off on July 31, and haven't found a new job yet. My unemployment runs out next month and it's making me a little anxious. It's not for lack of trying, but I'm in a highly specialized field and trying to find something has been tough.
3. Finding out I was pregnant in December, really was a blessing in disguise. It came when I really needed something positive to focus on.
4. I'm getting really anxious, we don't have our first ultrasound until next Tuesday (I'll be 10w5d) and I'm starting to question how the baby is doing!
5. While being unemployed, I really decided to focus on my health (needed something to do), so I started working out and eating better and lost 15lbs. I think that definitely helped in me getting pregnant and having a healthy place for the baby.
6. Everything happens for a reason, I just need to keep telling myself that. The job loss, weight loss, this pregnancy are all for the best and I'm positive things will work out the way they are supposed too!
7. This is a bit selfish of me, but my SO's sister is 6 days more pregnant than me. She announced at xmas (at 6 weeks) and it's all everyone can talk about. While I'm thankful and happy we will have children close in age, I selfishly wish it was just me.
8. We have only told our parents and two sets of close friends. That's it. Our siblings don't know yet and we are waiting til after the ultrasound next week to tell them. His parents weren't excited (was disappointing) and mine were really excited so I'm hoping for more positive reactions besides the when are you getting married question? We've been together almost 4 years.
9. I cancelled our trip to the Dominican because of the Zika virus. Part of me feels like because I did that before the u/s that I'm jinxing the baby for something bad to happen. Damn emotions! Just need some peace of mind next week!
10. I'm debating buying a fetal Doppler but I'm thinking I might just make myself crazy if I buy one. I feel it's kind of like pregnancy tests, I took 6 before I made myself not take anymore. Although lately I kind of want too!!
2. I am so hungry almost all the time, either that or uncomfortably full. There is no middle ground.
3. I ran up until the day before my first was born. I hope I can do that again.
4. I should be working right now.
5. I am currently still nursing my 19 month old and I am not sure if I will wean at 2 years and have 2 months of my boobs to myself, or keep going and tandem nurse. I doubt she will wean herself before then.
6. I have been craving buffalo wings so hard.
7. I just noticed I have little splatter stains all over the right side of my cardigan.
8. Still haven't told anyone besides my boss (and DH, of course). I don't want to. I might wait until I'm showing too much to deny. I just kinda hate people right now... We told last time at 14 weeks, so we'll see. I'm only 10 +2.
9. I intended to stay up after DH left for work (at 5:30) but I went back to bed and snuggled with DD and played on my phone.
10. I rarely get my daughter dressed before she goes to the babysitter's. Especially if she's wearing her Sophia the First jammie, she's obsessed with it.
-a heart at peace gives life to the body-
2. I recently started taking reformer pilates classes and I am obsessed. I am hoping I can do this throughout this pregnancy as well as run. Hopeful that I can at least try and keep my arms and legs in shape.
3. Starving ALL. THE. TIME.
4. Leggings will probably be my pants of choice all week. By the end of the day I am SO bloated.
5. DD is going through a little bit of the terrible-twos. My husband leaves for a work trip for a week soon and I am not quite sure how I am going to manage without losing my cool.
6. DH is a saint. He has picked up so much of my slack without saying a word. He really does make me want to be a better person, as sappy as that sounds.
7. I am seriously craving egg and sausage sandwiches. I could eat one every morning.
8. Our board of directors is in the office this week, so I have to put on a happy, professional face. And I need to not rely on dry shampoo to make my hair look decent.
9. January is my least favorite month of the year.
10. I may make cookies tonight just so I can eat a tiny bit of cookie dough.
2. I change my hair color about 304845 times per year. I just went from black back to blonde a few weeks ago. And I'm with you @Hummingbird125 it is a lot of work/maintenance, but I missed it! I'm going to go to a balayage (kind of like an ombre) before baby comes to minimize maintenance.
3. I'm slightly worried about my appointment today because I've lost 3 or so pounds since my 7 week appointment, and my midwife said I should gain 1-5 by 12 weeks. I'm sure it's fine, but I can't help but worry.
4. I start classes for a new volunteer opportunity next week. I'll be working as a Child Advocate - advocating for children in the foster care system. I can't wait to do something to give back!
5. I'm currently one year out from graduating with my Bachelor's degree, which is all online. I cannot wait to be completely done with school.
6. I've seriously considered going to Law School, and then I remember that I know about 58 people with Law degrees who don't practice law because the market is so saturated in Omaha.
7. I'm currently planning a vacation to Great Wolf Lodge for our kids. I'm so excited to see the looks on their little faces when we get there!!
8. My cat thinks he's a dog. He drinks from the toilet, chases and wags his tail, and comes when called.
9. I'm currently waiting for a call back from my Dentist's office to find out if I can get invisalign when pregnant. I really want straight teeth and finally saved up the $4k they need up front to get it done.
10. I'm really good at karaoke. I've won competitions and actually have people at karaoke bars request songs from me. Singing is one of my very few talents.
2. So excited for my NT scan on Friday and a chance to see my lo again.
3. My mom is at my house watching DS while I'm at this appt and that makes me so happy because she always cleans and does laundry when she's there
4. I'm contemplating getting a donut on my way home because I saw someone eating one in the waiting room magazine and have been craving one ever since.
5. I have to make a work call this morning (it's my day off) and I'm dreading it because it's not a happy one.
6. I don't want what we had planned for dinner tonight but we have to eat it before the veggies go bad.
7. I'm so bloated today that I contemplated pulling out my maternity jeans.
8. I just got an email that the faux leather maternity leggings I ordered are out of stock and won't be sent to me, grrrr I was really looking forward to those!
9. I took a pause because the doctor came back... They still think it's benign but I have to go to a surgeon to get a biopsy.
10. I have none left, this was harder than I thought!
2. I'm at 12 weeks and all my symptoms went away.
3. That freaks me out because last pregnancy I was miserable and felt like dying daily.
4. I'm ready for a nap.
5. My husband just left for a couple weeks and I'm spending some extra cash to have my house professionally cleaned because I feel like being lazy.
6. My next appointment is Feb 1st. I absolutely loathe ultrasounds because more often than not I have gotten terrible news. It always seems like my husband is gone when I get this news so I'm feels antsy about having to go without him in Monday.
7. I'm currently reading "the husbands secret".
8. I'm not going back and capitalizing the title.
9. I'm getting tired of talking about myself.
10. I missed the bachelor last night and need to catch up today!
2. I decided to start cleaning the bathrooms today. Got one toilet done and I'm already needing a break. Where is that second trimester energy?
3. I miss my best friend. I moved to Wisconsin in March and still haven't really made any friends. I've tried meet up groups and socializing with DH's friends' wives. No dice so far.
4. It is way harder to come up with things than I thought it would be.
5. Thank you to whoever posted about the Target baby sale. I got our high chair and diaper last night.
6. My mother has at least one name suggestion every time I call her. I have just started telling her that I'll add it to the list, regardless of if I actually like it.
7. I miss HGTV. I would reorder cable just for that channel alone.
8. I'd like to skip work this afternoon and just nap.
9. I have been eating at least 5 clementines a day.
10. I keep forgetting my prenatals. I skipped a day or two due to nausea and now I can't seem to get it back together.
1. My NT scan is on Friday - can't wait to see baby again!
2. This pregnancy has already been so different from my first, I don't know what to make of it and it's driving me nuts! I hope this doesn't make me not want to be pregnant again, because I'd really like to have at least kids.
3. I'm so annoyed that shows now have "mid season breaks." When did this start and who had the bright idea....I hate it!!! I need my Walking Dead and How To Get Away With Murder back!
4. I have to travel for work next week and for the first time since being back from maternity leave with DD I'm actually not looking forward to it. I'll be gone Mon-Fri, and I feel bad that DH has to take on all the at-home responsibilities at the same time as his close week at work.
5. I have to travel again mid-February, so I'm home for a week then leave again, and that trip is to Vegas and I'm sooooooo pissed that I won't be able to drink while I'm there (this will be my 4th time to Vegas). Like irrationally pissed lol. My boss and I always have a good time at the bar on our trips, so the vibe is going to be very different this time.
6. Someone brought in Thin Mints yesterday and I'm pretty sure I ate at least a sleeve of them myself - not all at once - but in aggregate. Hope no one noticed!
7. I've been considering getting a second master's degree in Pharma Compliance, and it would be all online, but I'm.Just.So.Tired. I can't imagine starting it with two kiddos at home.
8. I HATE exercising, but I really need to start again for my health during this pregnancy so my BP doesn't get crazy. I have every excuse in the book.
9. I tried my doppler last week around 11w and nada. Last time my midwife was able to pick up the hb on the dopper at 9w, so I'm kinda bummed I couldn't find it.
10. My 19 mo old daughter dresses better than I do, not cool, especially since a lot of my regular clothes give me a tire around my mid-section now, but I'm nowhere near needing maternity clothes. I think I'm just going to start wearing them anyway.
Baby #2 due 8/11/2016
2. I just got back from lunch and am so wishing I could take a nap.
3. I think the sound of having someone professionally clean my house sounds fabulous @juleswalsh.
4. I downloaded Virtual Families 2 on my phone to see what the big deal is about it. DD and her friends love it and I am now addicted to taking care of my little people.
5. My husband hates said game because he feels ignored sometimes.
6. I NEVER use salt when I cook only spices. I am not a fan of salt. But this pregnancy, I cannot stay away from salt!
7. I am signing my dh and myself up for a CPR class and our 11 year old dd for a babysitting class.
8. We are going to a car show this weekend and everyone is super excited about it but me.
9. I really need to dye my hair! I have tons of grays coming out but am afraid it won't take. I don't want to end up with green hair.
10. I love retractable highlighters! We use highlighters a ton at work and it is a pain to keep taking caps off and putting them back on. Even worse, if you don't put them back on, the marker dries out. Retractable fixes all of this!
Baby #2 due 8/11/2016
2. I'm also really nervous that something could be wrong, but have no reason to believe that. Just praying for the best and thinking positively!
3. I have to see the hematologist next Friday for abnormal blood work. While most likely it won't be anything serious, my mom is panicking that it's something terrible. Usually I'm the worrier, so this is making things interesting.
4. I am home from work today because on top of the blizzard, there was freezing rain during rush hour this morning. I don't live in a busy area, but it was going to take me two hours to get to work instead of the usual twenty minutes due to all the accidents so I turned around and am not attempting to work from home. I'm enjoying being in comfy clothes in front of the fire!
5. I am jealous of my cats... I wish I could lay around with them all day.
6. I also coach gymnastics on the side and while I really enjoy it, by the time it's time to go coach I'm sooo tiredddd. Come second trimester energy... get here faster!!!
7. @DressageDarling I also miss HGTV and wish we could get cable back just for that (it's only been two weeks with no cable... haha)
8. I ordered my first maternity clothes and am excited for them to come!
9. Last week two coworkers said they think I'm starting to get a bump.... I'm 99% sure it's bloat. So I guess I'm looking fat nowadays
10. I need to find some healthy food options that don't sound repulsive. Cooked veggies could not sound any less appetizing.
2. I am currently in my last semester of a psychiatric nurse practitioner program.
3. I work night shift and it has been killing me. I have to hide in random rooms to take a nap when we have downtime.
4. I had a hypoglycemic episode in the store today. Literally thought I was going to pass out in the grocery store and I had just eaten three hours before.
5. This baby is a marine corps ball conception
6. My husband's ex-wife and my ex's wife are both pregnant and due around the same time as me. I was bitter for a second, but now I am happy for all of those expecting. No one's gonna steal my sunshine!
7. I really want to get my roots colored, but my doc told me not too
8. I will know the sex of the baby from genetic testing within the next week!
9. This is my first baby, but I do have a 3 y/o stepson that I love like my own.
10. My stomach is already poking out and I can't wait for it to get bigger. Just ordered a pregnancy pillow and I'm so excited to use it!
2. I live near Milwaukee, but spent most of my life outside Chicago.
3. I was part of a mom's group when my DD was born in 2005, and many of those women are still my closest friends. I can't believe it's been 11 years, and we are all over the world!
4. I have two DD's, one is 16 and the other is 10. I feel like a FTM mom some days with this pregnancy.
5. I was diagnosed with a large subchorionic hemorrhage on New Year's Eve, and have been so paranoid of getting too attached to this baby since then. I question everything, right down to how much of a bump I have showing.
6. I am still taking meds for nausea. I was so so sick early on, throwing up 12-14x a day, and I'm so nervous to stop them.
7. My husband has matured so much since our last baby. This time, he has been so wonderful and on top of everything. He said to me that he doesn't remember me being so sick last time, and it was because he wasn't really around. I think that made him sad.
8. I would really REALLY love a chocolate milkshake from Portillo's right now. This says a lot, since I'm not a sweets person. But that would really hit the spot!
9. I want to go home, but my house has a weird smell that only I can smell (it's like garlic, or sour milk?) so I hide in my room until I fall asleep at 7.
10. I wouldn't mind going to bed right now.
2. I had yet another rough night with my LO.
3. I can't wait till February for Valentines.
4. I'm in desperate need of a pedicure.
5. I really want to start walking in the morning. Let's hope tomorrow I will.
6. DH has been a great with helping with housework
7. I can't wait to see our LO on the U/S again.
8. I will miss my boots and leggings when it starts to warm up and be sandal and shorts season.
9. My love is going to take me to the Bare Minerals store. I can't wait to do some makeup shopping.
10. I'm so over the insomnia, stuffy nose, morning sickness and just no energy.
1. I'm slightly obsessed with my dog - like throw him a birthday party with his other puppy friends kind of obsessed.
2. We just booked our baby moon and I'm so excited! We are staying at a ranch in Paso Robles (central California wine country) with horses, cows, llamas, donkeys, deer and we are having my maternity photo shoot there too!!
3. My baby sister is turning 25 this weekend and she's having a "quarter life crises" lol - nothing major but she's a self proclaimed drama queen so it's cute
4. I just watched trainwreck and was surprised by how funny it was.. I've had a long-standing crush on bill hader but never looooved Amy schumer from her stand up
5. I volunteer for an amazing organization that helps bring monthly reading groups to inner city schools near downtown la where the majority of students primarily speak Spanish at home - it is by far the most fulfilling thing I've ever been a part of
6. I hate pasta - which is even more odd since I'm from a huge italian family. Give me sauce, meat and garlic bread alllll day though.
7. I deleted my facebook over a year ago and I really could care less!! I Was so over the lame videos, lists of useless facts and whiney and/or braggadocious posts.
8. My wedding cake was a $10 Boston cream pie from the grocery store and my and DH crack up over it while my mother gets steamy mad that we did that Haha.. Oh and someone cut a slice out on accident before we cut it officially lol
9. I've always thought Disneyland was corny but, now that we have a babe on the way I absolutely cannot wait to take them and get Mickey ears and take pictures with the characters and eat dole whips and everything else that comes with it
10. I drank all of the pickle juice out of the jar last week and it was deeeeeelicious
So the awesome rep called my office and got the correct code for the ultrasound. This time at a new hospital I am going to I should expect to pay ~$95 for the ultrasound. I am excited for the reasonable price but won't believe it til I get the bill. And just for the hell of it I asked about the code for the 18 week scan but the rep didn't know the code without calling the office back so the rep gave me a price for an ultrasound that may have been the 18 week scan. That one is about $91. I will definitely be asking for the code when I go for my next appt.

2. I'm turning into my mother- I recently took up cross-stitching as a hobby. She handmade my stocking and I want to make one for my baby.
3. Had my 12 week appointment today and heard baby's heartbeat. Best sound in the world. So in love right now.
4. Even with how happy I am right now, I am sooooooo tired of having to pee every 20 minutes. Including at night.
5. Netflix binging Glee right now. Had a meltdown the other night when I watched the episode where they remember Finn.
6. Any suggestions on shows to watch when I'm done with Glee?
7. I hate posting through the app. You type up a big long post and then when you try to post it, "You don't have permission to do that." Bite me.
8. I hate out upstairs neighbor. He let's his little demon spawn run marathons and that little kid sounds like he is sumo wrestling when he runs.
9. Crock pot chicken ranch tacos for dinner tonight. Gimme gimme!!!
10. Thank goodness my birthday is around the corner. I want cake. Pink champagne cake from my favorite bakery to be exact.
YGPM!
2. I over did it and now feel nauseous and have a headache.
3. DS is home sick the next couple days with a double ear infection and a virus.
4. We found the hb on our doppler! We could barely hear it, but it was showing a count between 145-150.
5. My first appt is tomorrow with the nurse. They said to plan for it to last at least an hour... I didn't have this last time so I wonder what she's going to do.
6. I hope I get to sleep in again tomorrow.
7. Everyone is assuming we are having a gender reveal party... I don't really know why but I keep getting pins sent to me and things on my fb wall.
8. My sister and I are doing a craft show next month and I'm really hoping they put our tables by each other so I have someone to watch my table when I have to run to the bathroom!
9. I am feeling a bowl of cereal before bed...
10. DS just spotted the doppler and wants to listen to his "beat heartbeat" so this should be interesting.
2. I am also loving cereal right now. I didn't realize it until I went to make myself cereal this morning and we were out of milk. I got bummed and ended up eating pancakes, which were not enjoyable at all, even though I usually love them.
3. I told my boss that I was pregnant yesterday. Even though she's the most laid back boss I've ever had, I was so nervous to tell her. Of course, she was excited and very supportive.
4. I find that I am nervous to tell ANYONE I'm pregnant. When we announce to friends, I make DH do the talking. I have no idea why I get so nervous about it.
5. A Macy's near me is going out of business and has put everything on clearance. We've been holding off on buying anything baby, but I'm looking forward to hopefully finding some great deals...if not on baby things, at least on maternity clothes.
6. We got our Harmony results back this week. All good news!
7. Since we were split on team green v. finding out - we agreed that DH could find out, but he's not allowed to tell me or our friends/family. He's known for 2 days now and he hasn't slipped up yet. I'm feeling pretty excited that he knows, even though I don't and I don't want to.
8. We booked a cruise to Key West & Grand Cayman for a babymoon. This will be our first cruise and I'm SO excited.
9. It's cold and gloomy outside, so I want to go on said cruise right now.
10. I'm looking forward to telling more of our close friends that we're expecting in the next few weeks, but I'm also a little bummed to let go of "our secret".
