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!

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!
Any appointments or tests coming up? US on the 20th
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!
