    1. Any appointments coming up this week? No, but had the in-depth ultrasound scheduled for June 12. Seems so far away :( I wish I could have bumped it up but then my husband couldn't join me. We have to travel an hour away for it and "farm out" the seven kids but I'm hoping we can make a date of it since we rarely get to go out just us. 

    2. Any changes you've noticed? Clothes are getting tighter. I wish I had more of that second trimester energy but I'm wondering if that just doesn't happen when you're 41 :(

    3. (Stealing this from another thread) Have you felt baby move yet? I keep thinking I do but it's so random and so light that I'm not sure (I'm still only 14 weeks). 

    4.  STM - What were your couple most used items with your other baby/babies? I know they aren't used for long but Bumpos are pretty darn useful. And the baby swing was a God send. Tricky thing about this question is that so much depends on the baby and you don't know what they'll like -- only two of my seven liked the swing and one baby had such chubby thighs, she couldn't fit into the Bumpo :O 

    Happy weekend, everyone!

    1. Any appointments coming up this week? Amnio is next Thursday.

    2. Any changes you've noticed? No real changes.  I didn't have morning sickness but had some weird food things and digestion issues that are getting better.  

    3. (Stealing this from another thread) Have you felt baby move yet?Nope, I'm 15 weeks.  My first I felt at 18 and my second baby I actually didn't really feel till about 20 weeks. 

    4.  STM - What were your couple most used items with your other baby/babies?  (Like, must register or be sure to buy!) Boppy pillow for nursing/propping baby, swaddlers, hmm can't thing of too many must haves, neither of my kids really liked the swing very much.  I always tried not to over due it with the baby gear.

    @WRWrunnergirl Please tell me this isn't just the way it's going to be :(  I need the second trimester energy to get things done before I get tired in the third trimester, lol!

    @KSweet - I hope it won't stay this way!!  
    I was still able to drink iced coffee 1st trimester (it started tasting too sweet to me at some point).  So maybe that falsely boosted my energy level 1st trimester as I never felt exhausted then.

    1. Any appointments coming up this week?
    Anatomy scan is this Wednesday!!!!!!
    I also have a cardiologist appt Monday.  I have a mild mitral valve prolapse.  It wasn't leaking/regurgitating last time it was checked but that was 10 years ago.  So, just checking to be sure everything is still fine.
    Anyone here have experience with an MVP?

    2. Any changes you've noticed?
    I can feel twinges and quick sharp pains as things are stretching.  

    3. (Stealing this from another thread) Have you felt baby move yet?
    I'm 17w4d.  I really don't think I have.  However, several times today I've felt some thumping in the area where baby has been hanging out.  So, maybe that's the start of things.  Or maybe it's just more stretching and growing.

    1. Any appointments coming up this week? A regular OB appointment on Monday and I have to get bloodwork done at some point next week. 

    2. Any changes you've noticed? MS is pretty much gone, but I think I'm having some low blood pressure issues. Lots of dizzy spells and I'm so, so tired. 

    3. (Stealing this from another thread) Have you felt baby move yet? No and I wish I were. I know I felt my first move by this point. 

    4.  STM - What were your couple most used items with your other baby/babies? A zipadeezip literally saved my sanity. I'm planning on getting a few more.

    @shan24 - I had some dizziness earlier on.  My blood pressure did end up being on the lower end.  I was told to drink plenty of water and add in Gatorade.  She also said as it gets hotter during the summer to keep an eye on my fluids I'm taking in enough and not feeling dizzy.

    Also, what is a zipadeezip?

    1. Any appointments coming up this week? Anatomy scan and second blood test is tomorrow at 8. (But we don't want to know the sex). 

    2. Any changes you've noticed? Clothes are getting tighter. Regular OB appt was last week. Not really gaining a lot of weight. 

    3. (Stealing this from another thread) Have you felt baby move yet? Yes!  I've been feeling flutters for a few weeks now. I'm almost 18 weeks with baby #3. 

    4.  STM - What were your couple most used items with your other baby/babies?  (Like, must register or be sure to buy!) Boppy pillows and rocker for nursing.

    @WRWrunnergirl I have an appointment today, so I'll ask what they recommend, but Gatorade is a good idea!

    A zipadeezip is only the best invention ever!  It's like a sleep sack, but baby's hands are inside, too. It's meant to be used after baby can roll and can't be swaddled anymore. It's the only way my son would let me put him down at night!  Here their website
