  • How far along are you?
    15+1 

    Any appointments or tests coming up?
    I had one on Monday. One of the pee in a cup and spend two minutes with doctor appointments. We heard our little guy, but we have a doppler at home so I hear him pretty regularly. His heart rate slowed WAY down in the 4 weeks between measurements so it was nice for her to tell me that was normal. Next appointment we get an US! 

    How are you feeling mentally/physically?
    Cautiously optimistic. Everyone in my life knows about the pregnancy now, so it gets discussed a lot. I'm surprised with the ease in which I can talk about our mmc this past February. It makes me sad how often other people share similar experiences, but I think I like not keeping it a secret. At least for me. Makes me feel like I'm taking my "power" back. 

    Any Questions/Rants/Raves/Concerns? 
    I have cooked three times this week! So nice after months and months of not being able to be anywhere near food. 

    GTKY: What milestone were you most looking forward/are most looking forward to reaching with this pregnancy? 
    I cannot WAIT until DH can feel him move. He smiles every time he hears the heartbeat and I just can't wait to see the joy on his face when he can feel his son.

    Any appointments or tests coming up? Regular OB appt 8/31 & anatomy scan 9/29. Have to go in for second trimester blood draw Saturday.

    How are you feeling mentally/physically? 
    Doing ok. RLP is real and I've had zero appetite until today. Now I'm ravenous. Waiting for that "energy burst" everyone talks about because I'm still basically a narcoleptic at 7pm...until about 3am when I wake up & can't go back to sleep!

    Any Questions/Rants/Raves/Concerns? 
    Just that I'm frustrated with my work. My boss is more concerned with the timing that I'm going to be out & is not wanting to discuss the distribution of job activities which is really frustrating. 

    GTKY: What milestone were you most looking forward/are most looking forward to reaching with this pregnancy? 
    Since I didn't make it past 6w before and didn't have a HB the last 2 pregnancies that was the big milestone for me. Then it was the blood work & NT Scan since I'm an AMA mom. Now it's just a week at a time until the anatomy scan comes back normal. I also can't wait to feel consistent movement that I can be 100% sure is baby and not gas!

    Cautiously optimistic, until this baby is safe in my arms that's when it's real

    Any appointments or tests coming up?
    14 week visit went well last week.  Next week I have a consult with the MFM who will manage care w/ my OB.  I was told to expect a 2 hour visit & super detailed u/s.  Then back to my OB on 9/20 for anatomy scan. I'm not sure I understand why both u/s are necessary but the more I get to see LO the better!

    How are you feeling mentally/physically?
    I came down with a cold last week *just* as I started to feel some of that 2nd trimester energy surge.  So I've been run down again but am hoping to bounce back by the weekend.

    Any Questions/Rants/Raves/Concerns? 
    Same old nerves and worries, especially about these upcoming appointments.  It's hard not to worry about potential problems but I'm trying.

    GTKY: What milestone were you most looking forward/are most looking forward to reaching with this pregnancy?
    Feeling movement.  I can't wait to experience that!

    How are you feeling mentally/physically? 
    I'm starting to get emotional so the hormones must be getting to me! Plus my back is killing me but I think that's because of my toddler wanting me to hold her all the time.

    Any Questions/Rants/Raves/Concerns? 
    I'm starting to wonder how I'm going to handle 2 without the help of my family. I'm sure I can do it, mind over matter, right? 

    GTKY: What milestone were you most looking forward/are most looking forward to reaching with this pregnancy?
    I'm looking forward to feeling this lo move around a lot more, it eases my mind. I'm also looking forward to the anatomy scan next month.
  • @rmarie13 - sorry you don't have family to help! My inlaws live @10 mins away, but helping and sitting just isn't their thing. So I've been lucky and have found some great sitters via care.com - maybe look for a high school or college student (majoring in early childhood development) who can help you. Because you will need a moment to shower and just have an hour to power nap... Good luck!
  • @msunshine123 thanks! I keep saying that we need to find a sitter but I really haven't done much looking. I'll need to get on that soon!
