How big is baby? Lemon. I've decided to use BabyCenter for my fruit sizes. They're more optimistic.
Appointments this week? Nada.
Symptom changes? Last week was weird. I had several days where I felt great, and several of the worst nausea of my pregnancy. We'll see what happens!
Rant/Rave/Questions? Off today for a random state holiday and it is AWESOME!
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? It's hard to pick just one but right now I'm watching equestrian so I'll go with that. I used to have a horse back in high school, and I was never at a high level like this or anything but they hold a big place in my heart.
Appointments this week? None. Next week I have the NT.
Symptom changes? I think the nausea is starting to subside a bit. It's not gone, but it's a bit better than before. I'm also able to survive more days without naps (but not every day...there are still plenty of naps happening).
Rant/Rave/Questions? **slight TW **
I'm at the point where I'm SO CLOSE to being able to tell people, I just want to spill the beans. But I'm not quite where I want to be before spreading the news. I saw a good friend yesterday for the first time in a year and it was SO HARD not to tell her. Especially when she brought up my MC and was saying how sorry she was. And I was sitting there, giggling on the inside because I knew the good news. But I'll see her again in a week, along with the rest of that group of friends, so I'll spill the beans to them all next week. It will be like 2 days before turning 12 weeks, but I only get to see these women in person once a year. I'm fine telling them a little early to be able to tell them in person.
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? Gymnastics is a definite 1st, but swimming is a close 2nd. And actually, I because a professional synchronized diving critic while watching that yesterday. That might be my 3rd favorite.

Me: 31+ H: 32 TTC Since 11/2015 #1 - MMC 6.5 weeks (2/16); #2 - MC due to cystic hygroma at 20 weeks (10/16); #3 CP (2/17); #4 - Due 12.16.17
Appointments this week? none this week but next week we find out the sex
Symptom changes? 1st tri I had no *real* nausea (I only felt yucky if I got too hungry). Now I've puked multiple times over the last 2 weeks and it's only after I eat dinner/right before I go to bed. And I can't figure out anything that triggers it. Driving me nuts!
Rant/Rave/Questions? If anyone has BTDT or is experiencing this right now, is it ok that I've lost weight now that I'm in 2nd tri? It's not a lot and I'm trying to make myself eat more but it kinda freaked me out this morning.
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? Gymnastics is always my favorite and I love watching beach volleyball
Appointments this week? none this week, 12 week and NT next week
Symptom changes? Last week my MS got worse (threw up 8-9 times Monday) but then Friday and Saturday I didn't throw up at all for the first time since week 6! Yesterday wasn't great again, but I'll take the few good days every once in awhile.
Rant/Rave/Questions: can't wait to finally spill the beans next week but have yet to figure out how I will tell people. Our immediate family all knows (hard to hide it when you're throwing up nonstop) but none of our friends have even the slightest inkling. I'm in medical school so it's easy to use that as an excuse for why I've been MIA most of the summer.
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? Gymnastics, diving, and fencing!
Appointments this week? I have the NT scan tomorrow with a sequential screening. Fingers crossed.
Symptom changes? I have like 5% more energy I feel like which is nice. I feel like I am almost back to normal-ish eating wise. But dizziness and random shortness of breath has been popping up lately, along with a few more headaches.
Rant/Rave/Questions? How long do the NT results take to come back? I'm kind of waiting until I get those before I tell the world but I just want it out in the open now.
Random but if you have Netflix you should be watching Shameless (the U.S version). It is amazing and I cant stop binge watching it! Warning: not suitable for children so put the kiddos to bed first haha! Also, saw Bad Moms this weekend, it was pretty funny!
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? The track and field events hands down! I ran in high school and college and coached for a little while!
Rant/Rave/Questions? Everyone in my family has a stomach bug right now except for me and praying I don't get it. At least I have some puke buddies in the meantime. I mean, my poor family.
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? Gymnastics
Maybe a downward slope of overall nausea throughout the day. And a bit more emotional.
Rant/Rave/Questions?
Eh, pretty sure I felt baby move last night. I made the mistake of telling my friends and husband and they laughed at me. This is my 3rd kid, I know the difference between quickening and gas, thanks.
GTKY (Stolen from Saturday again. I like your questions, Saturday!): What is your favorite summer Olympic sport? Gymnastics or swimming
