Re: PGAL check in **5/9**
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? finally getting in for an US tomorrow but I really can't wait til I start feeling LO move
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I've been super nervous since our little accident, glad to finally be getting in for an US tomorrow and hopefully see everything is fine. Loss brain is a killer though!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random: Every night when I can't sleep I play Farm Hero Saga (level 360ish) and Animal Rescue (level 650 ish) on my tablet.
1. How far along are you? 16+2
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? AS on 5/24
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I keep feeling what I think in the moment is the baby and then I look back and question it. I can't wait until I know without a doubt that it was the baby in there and not a muscle spasm or gas.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. Keeping with @kmolleltz's bed time routine theme... H and I are obsessed with Dr. Pimple Popper on youtube and lay in bed every night watching vidoes of cyst and black head removals. It's totally disgusting and awesome. Maybe that should have been my FFFC.
Me: 32 & DH: 37

BFP #4 1/2016, DD born 10/2016
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling the baby move more consistently and the AS (a month away!)
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm frustrated that my OB is having me wait until I'm 21.5 weeks until I do the A/S. Apparently it's their policy that they want you to be further along.
I love how excited my sons are about this baby. They love asking how big baby is and hearing the heartbeat on the Doppler.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I went to a yard sale this weekend and bought a MacBook Pro for $25. It's four years old but I'm still so excited!!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy Scan tomorrow. DH and I are taking the day off so we can chill together
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm excited to just hang out with DH only. We moved to a small town away from family and friends. So we are always with the kids.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I'm on a Panera binge.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? I guess the 3D/4D ultrasound and then just holding my baby.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I had a wonderful weekend even though it was tiring. Now to get through the next two weeks of school with kids...Summer break is almost here!!!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random.
I really want to go to the bookstore and just walk around for an hour by myself right now.
TTC#2: BFP: 8-23-15 MMC: 10-29-15
DD 2: 9-15-16
DD 3: 9-16-17
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan on Friday! If it goes well, we're touring my preferred daycare that afternoon.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm feeling very good right now, but have moments of terror that something will be wrong the scan.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I just read a 300 page deposition and want to nap forever.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Gender determination on the 21st, and hopefully hear the heartbeat on the 18th with my doctor.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: These headaches are annoying, can't wait for this phase to end.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. Starburst are my new weakness
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling kicks/anatomy scan, whichever comes first!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: Today has been a rough PG/PGAL day with just feeling off, DH out of the country for a family emergency, still not feeling kicks, and a no-heartbeat-finding scare with the doppler earlier. On the positive side though, a few close friends and fam were so incredibly thoughtful for Mother's Day weekend!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I love food porn (when not pregnant) and I'm even more obsessed now that I have an appetite
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? This weekend we have an elective ultrasound to see if we can tell the gender. I'm also really looking forward to feeling the baby move...and knowing it's the baby.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I am still exhausted!! I wish that would ease up already. I am also experiencing a bit of RLP, ugh. On a positive note, the nausea has disappeared completely!! I am actually starting to feel at ease with this pregnancy.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I'm watching WWE Raw with my husband right now...and actually secretly like it a bit.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan tomorrow!! Lots of them tomorrow!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: not much.. we were crazy busy at work today! Like absolutely insane! It made the day go fast, but I feel like I'm still spinning.. But, 12 hours went fast so that a plus!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I just ate chocolate cake... in bed.. NOM.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? my anatomy ultrasound is May 27 but I am hoping I can feel movement before then
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I want to feel this baby move. I lay on my back and feel something but it's very unclear if it's baby or my imagination or something. I want to feel it and know it's baby! (As has been said above.)
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. This is the last week of the semester and it's stressing me out and I'm trying so hard but I want to kick my students who keep doing dumb things like emailing me to ask when/where the final exam is (ummm it's on the schedule and also I wrote it on the board during our last three class meetings...) or grade grubbing. Also I'm worried about my summer classes making, which if they *do* would be ideal because then I can bank them for the fall and take less time off (well it would count as less but be the same for me).
2. ultrasound thursday
3. this is gross but my lady bits smell different and I'm not into it
4. I want to sleep for 4 days. I am so exhausted.
19 weeks
2. Next milestone you're looking forward too?
20 weeks next week! Almost halfway done! =D
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I love feeling this little dude move around ♡
4. GTKY: Tell me something random.
I was in a piercing competition once.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? My next appointment and elective ultrasound on Friday! Cannot wait to know what we're having!!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: This congestion is killing me! I'm just ready to be able to breathe again!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I went to the opening of our neighborhood pool this weekend for 2 hours (with sunscreen) and still got sunburned, ouch!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? I think I have felt Mr. moving around a few times now, so I guess the next milestone is making it past 20W5D, which is when we lost our daughter to pre-term birth due to IC/Chorioamnionitis. I'm very nervous about that time approaching.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: I'm just very tired, the rainy days make me so blah, I miss sex, grocery store trips annoy me, my house no matter how often I clean it, is tore up the very next day, my dog needs a bath, the kids are never happy and want more and more, and well....I'd like to take a long nap without interruption. On a positive note, my husband works this weekend and so I will be home alone, no kids, and able to rest. It will be nice.
4. GTKY: I am severely afraid to open Pillsbury roll containers because the pop they make when the container cracks sends me into freak out mode. My favorite store to shop in is Maurices, and I only like coffee (decaf) when pregnant.
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Feeling the little one move! Heard the hearbeat at my 16 week appt. last week, so it gave me some reassurance that all is well, but would still like some reassurance on the regular...
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: The dizziness gave me the most wonderful reprieve last week for about 3 days...then came roaring back yesterday. It's such a tease. And it's making me a miserable bitch.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I have a bizarre obsession with watermelon. Like not just eating it, but just loving it. It goes back to when I was in grade school...and not sure where it began. But, I love all things watermelon! I have everything from pictures to pillows to S & P shakers - even had a watermelon purse and flats for my wedding! God help this child if it's a girl...oh, the melon mania of outfits that could occur...
P.S. @MRSCORKER - I thought I was the only one with a zit obsession!! Unfortunately, my husband can't stomach it, but my best friend and I send videos back and forth, trying to outgross each other with massive pimple pops. It's so nasty but I can't look away - it's fascinating! I just saw one on FB that tested how long you could keep watching as it got grosser and grosser...I lasted til the end. Not sure if I should be proud??
2. Anatomy Scan on the 20th, knowing for sure that what i am feeling is baby moving
3. At that point where i am freaking out and can't wait for my next appointment to make sure baby is okay
4. I played hookie from work today just so that i can spend some time with SO, but he's been sleeping all day lol
I had a GREAT viewing session (ultrasound) with baby! I saw the heartbeating and everything. They are moving around like crazy says the sonographer and so hopefully I'll start feeling some of that soon! I don't think I've ever been so relieved. I believe we will finally officially announce tomorrow now that we know everything is going well.
He did say it was still not possible to see the sex (since this is Tanzania and their machines aren't like those in America) but said at my next apt (when i'm 22 wks) I should be able to find out!
1. How far along are you? 15 + 4
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Anatomy scan on the 26th/feeling the little one move.
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: PGAL brain is fucking with me hard this week. Since I had not one, but TWO ultrasounds last Wednesday and Thursday, I should be feeling secure and awesome and excited. But the NMW not being able to find the heartbeat with the doppler really scared me, and even though we saw the baby on US 30 minutes later and everything was fine, it's shaken me up and some crazy irrational part of me wonders if her not being able to find the heartbeat is still a bad sign (like it should have been stronger or something even though it looked fine on US).
I cannot wait until I can feel this baby moving and shaking. Hopefully that will reassure me somewhat. I thought MAYBE I felt some flutters yesterday, but it was literally while I was reading the "have you felt any movements yet" thread, and with my weight and an anterior placenta so I'm guessing it was all in my head. I haven't felt anything since then.
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I made a really good half eggplant/half chicken parm bake Saturday night and DH and I have eaten it for dinner every night since. There's still two servings of it left and it was delicious but I don't think either of us can stomach eating it for a 4th night in a row . . .

BFP #2 2/18/16
@simcal18 sorry your ultrasounds didn't help much...if it makes you feel any better I'm 19 weeks and still feel nothing even though u/s always shows her moving like crazy but I totally get wanting that built-in reassurance. And, your cooking sounds delicious!
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to? Milestone: May 27th's anatomy scan... Friday: the crib is delivered!
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes: So poor sleep is now the prevailing symptom of the week (added to normal seasickness) and I broke down at 2 am the other morning and ordered a Snoogle. Man, I hope it works!
4. GTKY: Tell me something random. I used to be an MMA/Extreme sport fighting state champ.
1. How far along are you?
I don't even know what day it is. I'm 18 weeks and change
2. Next milestone you're looking forward to?
Anatomy scan on the 23rd
3. Rant/Rave/Positive Vibes:
I'm feeling so off lately. Dizzy spells and fainting. I don't have a clue what's causing it
4. GTKY: Tell me something random.
I used to be very involved in the Twilight fandom when I was in college. I thought Twilight was crap, but I had good friends who were amazing writers that loved it. Many of them have gone on and gotten published and I've lost contact with them. But I was thinking about them today and I miss them.
