Re: Weekly Check in 3/25
We are nearing the end of march already!!! Yes! Hooray!
How far along are you? 15w 4d
Team blue/pink/green? We'll find out what we are having at the anatomy scan at the end of April!
How are you feeling? So good. I definitely can tell if I over do it, but mostly I just feel like my normal self. It's nice. Yay for 2nd tri energy!
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?). 16w appointment on Monday morning and I can't wait. I'm glad we'll be busy celebrating Easter with my in-laws this weekend. That will help time pass. I always find myself getting anxious as the appointments approach.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm excited that Spring is coming! One thing I really, really miss about living in CA is the ability to be outside almost all year. I LOVE being outside and so does my kiddo. I'm excited to take advantage of a second tri spring to do lots of fun stuff with him before it gets too hot and I get too big. Haha.

i had to google mine, so that probably tells you something already. Haha. I'm not into astrology at all, but the thing I googled said people born on my birth date are sagittariuses with artistic and disciplined spirits and I'd say that mostly suits me. I will say I tend to have a lot of friends who are also born in December. Not sure if that's a trait fitting with the sign or not. I know December is split into two. Anyway. There ya go!
Happy Friday everyone. Loved having HDBD. I'm excited to see us all keep on growing!
Team blue/pink/green? don't know yet, but we are definitely going to find out.
How are you feeling?
I finally slept through the night last night which is a total win for me and that means I get to go to my insanity cardio class this morning. I was freaking out yesterday because in the morning it seemed like my *very small bump* was getting even smaller, it is weird how much that all fluctuates throughout the day.
Recently I have also started to freak out about all the "stuff" that has to get done before baby arrives
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?)
I never ever though I would be this person but we are going for the elective sex scan this saturday. My mom really want to come to a scan and I didn't want her at the 20 week scan so this is my compromise to her. I'm not that concerned with the sex (the tech told us his guess at 12 weeks which is in line with what I think baby is,) but I'd love to see baby growing and the heart beat.
I will finally get the results of my screening tests next week if the universe cooperates and find out if I will go onto NIPT. Cross your fingers for me that these results finally arrive (I have been waiting since 10 weeks!)
Rants/Raves/Questions:
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
I am on the cusp of pisces/aries and the 1st day of the zodiac. I love all this stuff but just for fun, I never take it that seriously. I feel like my astrology is pretty accurate in that I have the moodiness and emotional sensitivity of a pisces and the fiery confidence and fun of an aries. I think I can be a little confusing to the people around me as I oscillate between the 2 in an instant. I'm either in my own world wanting total solitude (pisces) or in community laughing and having fun (aries.) My DH is a cancer and water sign and is way more sentimental and "romantic" then I am.
Team blue/pink/green? Blue!
How are you feeling? I feel good, just large and lazy.
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) I had an appointment this week and everything checked out (measurements, blood pressure, urine sample, etc.). I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for my glucose screening test results. They told me if I don't hear anything by the end of the day today that I passed. I'm really nervous about it though, and I can't focus on anything.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Someone please help me control my sweet tooth!!! It's gotten totally out-of-hand in the past couple weeks. I don't know if it's because I'm terrified about failing my GD test, or if it's just that I'm pregnant, but I know in any case it's really not good for me. Any tips you guys have? I'm trying not to worry too much about weight gain but I started out about 10-15lb overweight, so I'd really like to keep my pregnancy weight gain in a reasonable range. I'm eating pretty healthy stuff otherwise - veggies, whole grains, fruits, lean meats, yogurt. But I also had chocolate for breakfast
GTKY: I'm a scientist, so I tend to think horoscopes are BS, but I also think they're kind of fun to talk about because you can find patterns in anything if you look hard enough. It makes for good cocktail conversation! I'm a Libra. One supposed Libra quality that I definitely have is an intense dislike of conflict/need for balance and harmony. And I do feel the need to please everyone and am terribly indecisive. However, Libras are supposed to be beautiful/charming, vain, and self-indulgent, which is sort of the polar opposite of me. I'm plain, simple, and frugal. My husband is a Capricorn and when I read about them I always laugh because this describes him to a tee: ambitious, practical, and responsible, but not particularly romantic, creative, or spontaneous. I love him so much!

@createillumination will you tell us the results of the elective sex scan?! Sounds like you're pretty sure already, but it's exciting that you'll get confirmation soon!
How far along are you? 13 weeks and some days *see rant
I talked about it briefly with my OB, but decided to just let it go with him, but I may revisit it down the line since it does affect when I would have my C-section scheduled. Writing all of this about a 2 day difference is now making me feel nutty!
Team blue/pink/green? Pink
How are you feeling? Pretty good
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) We had a belated 12 week appointment with the OB on Wednesday. I have an early 16 week appointment coming up on 4/11.
Rants/Raves/Questions: I know this is not a big deal, but the EDD my OB is going by is based on my LMP instead of when my IUI was and what my measurements were during my early ultrasounds. This is a difference of only between 2-4 days. I know it's not standard to change it unless it's a week off or more. Still...I can get very preoccupied with what's true and accurate. I've been saying that my due date is 9/27 based on my IUI and measurements and now that feels like a lie since the OB is saying 9/29. I want my first tri to end next Tuesday and not next Thursday!
and one more semi-rant... I didn't have (nor want) a wedding shower, but I think baby showers are nice and would have liked to have one. Our family and closest friends all live in the Chicago area. We'll be back there for a week in June and MIL has offered to throw us a shower. Unfortunately the only weekend day that we could do it (we're at a family wedding the following weekend) is Father's Day. We may still be able to do something with a few family member and friends that won't be celebrating fathers day, but I'm disappointed that we won't have an opportunity to get together with more of our friends and family.
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
I don't think much about it now, but I loved reading about it when I was in high school. I'm on the cusp of Scorpio/Sagittarius. I used to associate more as a Scorpio because I thought I was moody and mysterious, but I think that was just teenage hormones! I'm much more like a Sagittarius except that while I do enjoy adventure and feel reinvigorated by it, I can happily go long stretches without it and enjoy being a homebody.
Team blue/pink/green? Team one blue and one question mark!
How are you feeling? Like I'm 30 weeks pregnant. I know my OB thinks I'm a lunatic, but everything feels so different this time around that it's like being pregnant for the very first time! I never had Braxton Hicks contractions with my other two pregnancies, but I started having them this week. At 15 weeks! After I freaked out and made an OB appointment, my OB said it is normal with twins. What???
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) When I went to the OB (see above) I had my kids with me because they were on spring break and my husband was in important meetings that he couldn't miss. They did the Doppler and I thought my kids would be amazed by hearing the heartbeats. They were completely and totally unimpressed! Other than that, I'm anxiously waiting for my anatomy scan in exactly 4wk5d.
Rants/Raves/Questions: None today
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS? Aquarius. To be honest, I had to look up the qualities of Aquarius because I have generally felt that stuff to be "a bunch of BS." However, when I read the full description, I was like, "wow, that's totally me." Ha! Obstinate, emotional, quick-witted, impulsive and creative.

Team blue/pink/green? Technically team pink although I have a ton of navy and green for her! I found out when I had a cell-free DNA test at 10 weeks.
How are you feeling? Still doing pretty well! I have days when I have tons of energy and other days when I feel super lazy. Today I am right in the middle... and Baby Amy is SUPER ACTIVE today.
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) Nothing big in the works just waiting for my April appt.
Rants/Raves/Questions:
In raving news, Baby Amy is really active. She does this thing where she pushes her little feet hard against my side and if I push back she kicks me! Hahaha! At least I think I'm feeling her little feet.
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
I'm into it mainly for fun. I am a full on Taurus and yes to all of that. Stubborn, erring on lazy, connected to the earth (man), opinionated and simply georgeous! Yes, georgeous. I had my birthchart done when I was a kid and that has been freaky accurate for me.
I had this issue, but I'm a late ovulator, so it was to my benefit. I was charting, using OPKs obsessively, and felt serious ovulation pains because of the Clomid, so I feel reasonably certain when we conceived and it was on CD17. In my case, I was fine going with my LMP date because it was several days earlier than my actual date. If it was later, I would feel exactly the same as you and @BernieRae. Every day counts in pregnancy!
I'm sorry about the due date debacle that's not nice when you know you're right and people try to tell you otherwise!
I love everyones responsesto the GYKY!
Team blue/pink/green? we wont know for a while yet, but will be finding out.
How are you feeling? Ugh I have a head cold, congested stuffy nose, its the worst. Other than that I had some mild nausea this week but nothing too crazy.
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?), only my 4 betas which were all good. My first US isn't until 4/7
Rants/Raves/Questions: The ladies on my BMB are all bummed that there isn't much snark or drama. I'm sitting over here thinking thank god! But I keep my opinion to myself since I don't want to create drama, ha ha. Maybe I'm just old an boring
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
I'm a Leo. I definitely find some qualities accurate but I could read each sign and find something in them I relate to. I think its mostly bogus and more of a self fulfilling prophesy than anything else.

@redheadbride15--congrats on the results! I have no tips on controlling a sweet tooth. Mine was OUT of control with my son. Like eat an entire (big) bag of jelly bellies in one afternoon out of control. And I didn't just do that once, either.
@redheadbride15 when I came back from india and had to do a parasite clense which involved NO sugar for 30 days. I would chew on shredded coconut to deal with my cravings. Maybe eat a little something sweet then find something like coconut to occupy you? I'm telling ya it takes a lot of effort to chew any significant amount of shredded coconut!
Team blue/pink/green? Pink
How are you feeling? Oh the heartburn!!! It started a few nights ago and now it's days, too. I may have to switch from Tums to Zantac. I'm toughing it out for now.
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) Glucola test on 4/13. Not at all exciting. But baby girl will be viable on 4/9, so that's exciting. My cousin's wife had a baby at 24 weeks in October. I certainly don't want that to happen, but it's crazy to think that in two weeks my baby will be the same size/age hers was when she was born.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Did I mention heartburn? Gahhh! Also, when I sit, my boobs and my stomach squish together. I've always been a B cup, so that is a really weird sensation.
GTKY: Gemini, but I don't believe in that stuff. I do get daily emails of my horoscope for entertainment, though.

How are you feeling? great!
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) I just got my A/S scheduled for 4/4! I'm so excited it's coming up so soon. Initially they didn't have an opening until 4/18, but they called back with the earlier slot, so I'll be a little over 19 weeks. Just can't wait to see LO again so soon!
Rants/Raves/Questions: My rave is that our babymoon was FABULOUS!!!! I highly recommend it, particularly for those who already have kiddos. Four full days away was just what the doctor ordered. It gave us the time we needed to re-connect as a couple (physically and emotionally, if you know what I mean
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
I think it's b.s. but also think it's kind of fun to play along. We used to read horoscopes over lunch every day at the office for a while and self-fulfilling prophecy is right on. I'm a cancer and the pessimism and moodiness is right on. But I am also fiercely loyal. I also know my son is a Pisces and although I don't know the traits associated it, he is totally a little fish. He has just loved water from the time he was teeny tiny little preemie. We're doing swim lessons now and it's so fun to watch him just having a blast in the water.
@createillumination, so excited for your scan tomorrow! I'm all about team green for me, but love to find out the sex of other people's babies!
congrats on the good GD result @redheadbride15!
@BernieRae, I'm also going by my own EDD, which is 3 days sooner than they have in my chart. Screw 'em!
Team blue/pink/green? Team blue
How are you feeling? Pretty good minus lack of sleep and now some random aches here and there
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) growth scan on Weds. Can't wait to see where this guy is measuring
Rants/Raves/Questions: nope
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS? Virgo and I have many characteristics of the sign. I'm not a big believer in astrological signs but I do believe everyone has characteristics under their sign. That's about the extent of it.
Your baby moon sounds just amazing @mamafesto, I'm very jealous!
Loved seeing everyone's bumps this week!!
How far along: 28+4, team pink!
feeling great! Counting my blessings, last week the sciatica was bad for half the week after the week before being a huge relief post chiropractor. Saw chiropractor Wednesday, and I feel awesome. My brother came down to visit, my hubs had the day off, so we spent the day walking around Nashville, nice to have the baby out and about, and to have a change in routine for the day. Plus I'm pumped to have my brother here!
baby news: having appointments every 2 weeks, checkup up on Tuesday.
my astrological sign is Sagittarius, going to look up what that means now. I do remember in high school I would love reading the horoscopes in ym and seventeen;) I'm definitely an honest, generous, extrovert...well extroverted sometimes, I definitely need my alone time or I'm a mess.
How far along are you? 17w4d
Team blue/pink/green? Team blue x 1 for sure, waiting till Level II on 4/6 to find out the other.
How are you feeling? Pretty good. Still not sleeping well, so I'm tired. See rant below.
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) 18 week appointment, ultrasound, and endocrinology appointment next week.
Rants/Raves/Questions: My rant is that my HIPS hurt so bad at night. I end up rolling from side to side every 30-40 minutes because I wake up with them hurting. I bought a 3 inch cooling gel memory foam mattress topper and it isn't working!! Any thoughts? I remember my hips hurting with my first, but not till I was about twice as far along.
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS? Sagittarius - I have NO idea if the qualities fit me or not, but I like reading my horoscope.

TEAM BLUE!!!
I'm feeling okay-ish. Have been feeling a strange barfy feeling which feels different than the MS I had all first trimester. Had a horrible headache the other day and have lost my appetite a bit. I'm also starting to really worry that I'm not feeling the baby kick yet. I just feel like there should be some definite kicks by this stage.
Next OB visit on Friday, April 1st. Can't wait to go and hear the heartbeat and get reassured that everything is okay. I worry so much.
Rave: DH is busy making a big Easter brunch: GF quiches, sweet potato hash, bacon. Yum, yum yum!! I also finished painting my old baby dresser with one of my best friends who was visiting. It was the dresser I used as a baby and then several of my cousins used. It's great to re-use something that has so much history. We painted it green with yellow drawers and it looks SO GOOD! I'd totally post a picture but the Bump only lets me post using the very basic html so I can't even add pics, but maybe on a day when the Bump is behaving? (It's really so annoying).
I grew up learning all about astrology because my mom was super into it. I find it a lot of fun!!! I don't like the basic generic sun sign Horoscopes, though, mainly because millions of people share the same sun sign as you so they aren't really that personal or in-depth. I really like doing the full charts and seeing how all the different signs interact. I've also gotten pretty good at guessing friends' key elements, such as whether or not they have a fire moon, Venus, Mars, etc. It freaks some of my friends out! When I sit down and think about it, I know there's no real logic or science behind it and I do agree that you can read into pretty much anything, yet at the same time when you dig into the deeper aspects of it (such as reading specific configurations that only your chart has), there are some parts that just really ring true (as in: "OMG, who's been spying on me???"). I also find it extremely helpful when learning to navigate different relationships with different people, such as changing my communication style based on some key signs a person may have. I know some people who are WAY more into it and actually won't do certain things on specific days because of some aspects (such as "I can't buy a house on this day because the moon will be conjuct with my mars..."). I think that's a bit over the top . As far as me, I'm Scorpio and have some strong Libra and a lot of key fire planets. So I'm quite a mix of elements :-). My Libra actually shines through the most at first so people are quite surprised to find out I'm a Scorpio (although my DH definitely knows!!!).

@jilligan14 I get a little nauseous sometimes in a different way now, too. For me it seems to be everything pushing up on my stomach. I'm also finding that I'm very hungry in the morning, and not very hungry for dinner. I think it's my body's way of keeping food from refluxing when I lay down at night.

Team blue/pink/green? Will find out hopefully soon!
How are you feeling? Other than lacking energy, really pretty good
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?) First OB appt/US on Wednesday! So excited & nervous.
Rants/Raves/Questions: Just feeling happy these days. Never really thought I would be in this place & I'm so grateful!
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS? Capricorn - A lot of the qualities seem to be fitting, but I'm not 100% a believer.
Team blue/pink/green? DH and I aren't finding out, we want to be surprised (hoping for being on team pink though)
How are you feeling? Generally good but still get tired and exhausted after doing household work or even as simple things as getting groceries. Doesn't exhaustion go away during the second trimester ?
Any baby news (tests results/scans/upcoming appointments?)
My quadruple marker test is on April 11th - another 2 weeks of not knowing whether the baby is ok or not, the wait between ultrasounds is so excruciating
Rants/Raves/Questions:
Also can anyone give me some feedback on whether slight cramping is normal for 16 weeks ? There is no spotting or anything, just lower back pain, also not feeling the baby move or even flutter - should I be worried ( I am a FTM)
Also I haven't popped much, there is a bump but it's small in comparison to all the pictures I have seen of women who are also 15-16 weeks ( sorry I am going crazy, I have had no nausea or normal symptoms, I just want the baby to be healthy
GTKY: What is your astrological sign? Do you think the qualities of your sign are accurate for you or do you think all that stuff is a bunch of BS?
i am a libran, and I am not much of a believer in astrological signs, it was a fun thing, my friends and I used to indulge in when in school, long time ago
I told my OB that I feel some "hardening" of my uterus--maybe like the occasional contraction--and she said it was normal so long as it wasn't painful or coming in strong, regular patterns. I don't know if that helps with your cramping question...but maybe?
also, the bump I have now at 16 weeks is more like what I had at 20+ weeks last time. Everything is bigger faster this time around for sure! A girlfriend of mine who had her baby in January didn't show at all really until after 20 weeks. Every body is different.
The same thing for movement. I think it is common, especially for a first time mom, not to feel movement until 20 weeks or later. I feel the occasional pop and tap, but it is very inconsistent and I think I only recognize it as baby because I've done it before...
anyway. Those are my experiences with those things. Hang in there! It sounds like you are doing great!

@redheadbride15, you are totally right about each body and pregnancy being different, thank you for posting your pic, it was very helpful, my DH thanks you as well, since I started to be more rational and stopped freaking out so much after reading your reply
@carrieandroy, I am generally a level headed person but this pregnancy is turning me into a worrying machine. Thanks for posting your pic, I do appreciate it...
All you ladies have just been wonderful today, thank you sooooo much and I do apologise for being as some say a total wreck
Take It easy and try to get some rest and relaxation in when you're able. Easier said than done, I know!
