2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions?
Feb 22
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? I have not bought anything yet.
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? I will probably announce at 12 wks. Not sure how I will announce yet.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I miss wine also. I love wine.
My go to has been pasta yum!
1) how far along are you? 12+1
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? Thursday! Hearing the HBs!
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes?
nope, waiting until much later to buy any items. We got rid of most of our baby stuff so we'll need to get a bunch. I have a lot of maternity clothes and have gotten some at the thrift store. I figure for $2 I might as well. I mostly live in my leggings though.
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how?
Our immediate families know. I'm not on Facebook and don't plan on doing any big announcement.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I was never a big drinker - wine gives me headaches. I miss eating my cold deli sandwiches and salads. I've been told not to eat salads out at restaurants and to be really careful eating them at home. *TW after our last loss-unexplained- at 14wks I'm just not wanting to risk it if they tell me not to eat it. END TW* I don't really have a go to now. I eat what I can stomach.

Twin girls! 8/26/2017
1) how far along are you? 10+1
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? Next appointment is on 2/27, I also get my blood work done this Tuesday (2/21) for Cell-free fetal DNA. I didn't do any genetic screening last time around but I'm feeling a little more cautious this time.
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? A couple of things that I have seen on ebay or gotten on a really good deal. Nothing substanial, we kept everything from my DS.
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? Two friends and a coworker know. We probably won't tell anyone else until we get genetics back, probably around 12 weeks. My step mother (who I'm very close with) keeps photos on the fridge in plastic magnetic frames, I probably will buy her some and give her a note that says she will need more come September. Not sure what we will do for my inlaws.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? Hard cider, mojitos, and sushi. Unfortunately my new favorites are ginger ale, saltines, water, and pineapple (oddly enough).

1) how far along are you? 12w3d
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? Next appointment on 2/28 for ultrasound/NT scan and blood draw for cell free DNA test. This will be the first ultrasound, so we're very excited to get to see our little person for the first time!
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? I haven't purchased anything yet, but did pick up hand me down maternity clothes from a friend this weekend. I'll still need to buy some, but this will be a good start!
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? We have told a few very close friends, my MIL, and my parents and siblings. We will wait until we get the results of the cell free DNA test (it will be around 14.5 weeks) to tell anyone else.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I'm very lucky that I haven't had much morning sickness or food aversion, so I haven't really changed my eating habits that much. I do really miss red wine!
1) how far along are you? 10w+6.
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? I have an OB appt on Friday. Should get the non-invasive genetic bloodwork results on Friday too. Nervous and excited!
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? A friend got us our first baby item, a Golden Book about baby animals. I purchased some maternity stuff on Amazon. They had plus size maternity shorts for $2.99!!
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? We have told all of our immediate family and close friends. I may do something on Facebook with our dogs, our first babies. Probably after we do the NT ultrasound if all is well.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I miss alcohol a lot. A margarita would hit the spot so hard lately. But I've taken to drinking ginger ale every now and again. Mostly though, I drink water.

Elias (Eli) born 9/2/17 at 7:07pm weight 8lbs 10oz and 20.5 inches long!!
1) how far along are you? 12+3
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? Not until March 13, but like a lot of you ladies, my genetic blood test is supposed to come back this week, so I am anxious about that. At the same time, I am excited about the side effect of the genetic test telling me the sex of the baby.
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? I bought a blanket and stuffed animal. Weekend before last I bought some maternity clothes. My regular jeans and work pants have been getting a bit snug, so instead of buying bigger clothes, I just got some maternity pants to grow into. They make me feel super fat, lol!
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? - Yes! Finally! I told close family at Christmas, then recently have told more family and some friends, then after we heard the heartbeat again at my appointment last week, I decided it was time to make it "Facebook Official" this weekend.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? - Anything sweet or chocolate was my favorite before being pregnant. My sweet tooth has dissipated quite a bit since I got pregnant. My go-tos lately have been baked potatoes and plain fast food cheeseburgers. And I don't even like lunch meat, but because I can't have it, I've been craving it!

BFP: December 20, 2016
1) how far along are you? 11+3
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? also have blood draw on 2/21 for genetic blood test, next check in on 3/3
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes? I let my hubby know by giving him some cute onsies, and bought a diaper bag through a friend's 31 party. As for maternity clothes, my boobs already grew 5 cup sizes (sympathy add on...this calculates to about 4.5 lbs just in the boobs!), so yes I've already spent a crap ton of money for a few bras in my new size and this weekend bought maternity shirts that fit my boobs hoping they will work for my tummy later. Pants I've not outgrown too much so I'm making due for now with the belly belt and bella band.
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how? Our parents and close friends know, we'd need support even if the pregnancy doesn't work out. A few folks noticed because I haven't been drinking. I told my boss on Friday...the expansion I experienced is quite obvious so wanted to be the one to tell him before rumors started, he high fived me so it went well. The rest of the world will know after the 3/3 appointment and genetic test results.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I love, love, love beer...like the local brew pub is my absolute favorite place. Swapped for flavored sparkling water to keep sugar low from drinks because I can put away some Girl Scout cookies right now! My main craving is still Mexican food, bring on the tacos and I'll love you forever!

1) how far along are you? 11+3
2) next appointment? Any concerns/questions? Next appointment is 2/28 with a MFM. My OB/GYN referred me just due to my age. I believe they will be doing a NT scan, so looking forward to getting another peek of the little one!
3) have you purchased any baby items yet...or maternity clothes?
Nope... Not yet. I looked at maternity clothes online today, but haven't bought anything yet
4) have you announced yet? If not, when are you planning to and how?
A few close co-worker friends know (just because its impossible to hide my exhaustion and nausea at work!) I'm hoping my Panorama results will come in this week. Once we get the results back, we plan on announcing to family and friends. Will probably make it Facebook official later on.
GTKY: what's your favorite food/drink when NOT pregnant and what has been your go to during this pregnancy? I'm a Diet Coke addict. I went about a month from the time I got my BPF without any Diet Coke at all. But I've caved. I limit myself to one can per day. Did the same when pregnant with my son and he turned out ok! I've found it hard to stay hydrated because even water tastes funny to me right now.
