    I had a check-up on Friday. We also did the Progenity test the same day.

    My nausea & morning sickness have let up (*knocks on wood*). Dealing with headaches & fatigue.

    I'm excited that we finally have another genetic test, and hoping they are able to process it this time.

    I'm a Leo. We have 3 family birthdays & our wedding anniversary the first week of August. Ugh.

  • 1. How far along are you?
    18 weeks 

    2. How big is baby?
    Artichoke 

    3. Any upcoming appointments this week?
    Yes! I meet with one of the midwives this week and have a list of things to ask her

    4.  Any new symptoms?
    I'm also newly dealing with heartburn this week @SpotConlon and also stupidly keep eating foods that trigger it like pasta sauce or Taco Bell. Just discovered today that crouching is really exasperating it, hard to avoid crouching when you spend the entire day painting.

    5. Rants/ Raves/Questions?
    I found the best respirator mask to wear when painting. You can't smell anything when it's on.  In case anyone needs it, it's the 3M 6000 face mask paired with the 60926 filter. I bought mine at Amazon but they are also at Home Depot. 


    My husband got to feel his first kick! He was really pleased :)

    6. GTKY: What is your astrological sign? 
    Gemini. I am such a Gemini.

    3. Any upcoming appointments this week? Anatomy scan Thursday!

    4.  Any new symptoms?
    Apparently pregnancy can throw your allergies WAY out of wack. I came down with an extremely itchy rash all over my face and body Friday night. Thankfully I was with a friend who was a nurse practitioner who gave me some initial direction followed up by a call to my sister in law who is an allergist. But geeze that was the worst thing!  Rash kept coming back all weekend as soon as the Benadryl wore off. All I can think is that I didn't take my Claritin Friday. 

    5. Rants/ Raves/Questions? I am so done with being moody.

  • 1. How far along are you?

    19 weeks! 

    2. How big is baby?

    Mango! (At our anatomy scan they said he weighs 10 ounces already!)

    3. Any upcoming appointments this week?

    Nope! Had our anatomy scan on Friday! 

    4.  Any new symptoms?

    This heartburn is other-worldly...but controlled with Zantac 150 twice a day. It gets so bad it gives me a headache...like, what?! 

    5. Rants/ Raves/Questions?

    Just feeling good, happy, excited, and ready to meet this sweet boy!

    6. GTKY: What is your astrological sign? 

    Scorpio. My mother-in-law is all about the signs. I don't believe in it. Haha!
  • 1. How far along are you?

    2. How big is baby?
    Artichoke.

    3. Any upcoming appointments this week?
    No.

    4.  Any new symptoms?
    Nothing really new although I've had some discomfort running from my tailbone down part of my leg, which is likely from running outside this weekend.  It's mostly gone, but it's frustrating to have aches and pains from exercising.  

    5. Rants/ Raves/Questions?
    I don't feel as much movement as I had, which of course makes me nervous.  I assume this is because the placenta is at the top and the baby may now be in a position where the placenta is acting as a cushion.  I usually feel at least something towards the evening, but I'm anxious to start feeling stronger movement and feeling it more often.

    6. GTKY: What is your astrological sign? 
    Gemini.

    @MetsGirl18 I had about 5 days of really feeling increasing movement/kicks followed by two very slow movement days. It did kick in my worry nerves, so I understand where you're coming from.

    I told myself that things are shifting around in there so the previous day is no guarantee that is how things are going to be today. and even when he's out here will be days where he's going to be more mellow (please let there be calmer days). It helped to ease my mind a bit.

    We told my inlaws this weekend we were pregnant. It did not go well. See my long post in the inlaw thread for the details.

    Tarus- to a tee.

    @Nxy hope the time change gets easier on you. It takes me a week to adjust.
