    1. How far along are you? When is your EDD? 
    5w today. Due on 5/13. Though I will most likely go early. Both of my kids came early on their own. DD at 38w3d and DS at 39w1d.

    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week? 
    All the anxiety of doing this a third time is setting in. Diapers again, baby gear again, finances, etc. I can't sleep. 

    3. What's on the docket this week? Appointments? Labs? Scans? HCG draw tomorrow that I have been waiting quite impatiently for. I'm expecting my number to be about 1000. If it's not I might totally freak out. 

    4. GTKY: DH took you out for brunch, what are you ordering?  Bacon for sure. Probably pancakes. But maybe french toast. There's this one restaurant that makes bacon cheddar pancakes back home and I want those. They are so good.

    It's like a cruel joke right? It makes no sense. That does sound delicious though.

    @sparkymcgeee - GL with your HCG draw tomorrow!
    @Pearlvirus - Yay for an US in 2 weeks! I hope the time passes quickly for you. I am dealing with the sick and starving too. No fun :/
    @Shima42 - Ugh I am sorry about no power and not being able to open the windows. When do you expect the power to be back on?

    1. How far along are you? When is your EDD? 4W 1D  EDD May 19th but the baby will be born about 39 weeks because it will be a RCS.

    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week? Just feeling tired, queasy, and crampy. I told my parents last night and they were completely surprised but excited. 

    3. What's on the docket this week? Appointments? Labs? Scans?  Irma lol other than that just waiting. No appointments until September 25.

    4. GTKY: DH took you out for brunch, what are you ordering?  grits, scrambled eggs, bacon

    1. How far along are you? When is your EDD?  6wk today!!  5/6 is EDD 

    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week?  I have the energy and breathing capacity of a 90 yo so exercising is daunting and exhausting when it actually does happen.

    3. What's on the docket this week? Appointments? Labs? Scans?  Nada.  Waiting for 8 wk ultrasound which I finally scheduled. 

    4. GTKY: DH took you out for brunch, what are you ordering?   Pancakes w butter pecan syrup, sourdough toast w butter and maybe a little jam, eggs either omelet style or over easy w salt and pepper and can I get some chorizo in here somewhere?!

     I love quiche so much that I make a huge one every few days to supply us with breakfasts for a while, but I don't feel like eating the last few slices of the most recent.  I'm afraid this habit might be over for the pregnancy!

    @pearlvirus will you move in with me?  You don't even have to marry me, just cook me breakfast every day LOL  
    @zaclina all the shortness of breath.  All of it.  I can't even make it up my stairs without stopping at the top to catch my breath.  

    1. How far along are you? When is your EDD?
    5 w 5 d, 5/9
    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week?
    So nauseated, all the time.  Hungry, but nothing sounds good.  I'm with @Jennifer102011 I already feel old most days.  Being pregnant just makes me feel more out of shape.  
    3. What's on the docket this week? Appointments? Labs? Scans?
    Nothing.  My first appointment isn't until Oct. 12th and I'm going nuts.  I used to work in the ER so I could do an ultrasound on myself whenever I wanted (it's actually how I found out I was having twins last time).  This is going to suck.  
    4. GTKY: DH took you out for brunch, what are you ordering? 
    Eggs, over medium, bacon, toast, hash browns (the stringy kind, not the patty kind), and pancakes.  Except MH made scrambled eggs with bacon mixed in yesterday and I couldn't eat them.  I freaking love bacon, I hope that passes soon.

    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week?

    Nothing this week, but next week is my first appt.

    A large order Waffle House Hashbrowns (scattered, covered, and topped), a big bowl of grits, and a side of bacon to use as a spoon to eat the grits with. OM NOM NOM!

    Lots of things, higher risk of MC and loss, higher chance of Pre-E and gestational diabetes, higher chance of preterm labor, higher chance of multiples, higher chance of birth defects, higher chance of C/S. Although I don't really know why on that last one.

    Amen to that, @pearlvirus!  When I see someone younger than like...25ish having a baby, I'm thinking Holy shit, you have NO idea what you're getting yourself into!!!  I'm "that" person, telling a 24-25 year old how young they are, when I would've been so annoyed if someone said it to me at that age.

    Me too. I absolutely cried when I turned 25 thinking I was so old and I would never get married or have kids. I was super single because I had just broken up with a cheating bastard and was living alone with my cat. Like I really thought I would be the crazy cat lady with 13 cats named after the children I never had. 
    Looking back I was definitely not ready for the life I thought I wanted at that time. Fast forward 4 years and I was married and trying for DD.

    1. How far along are you? When is your EDD?
    4 weeks tomorrow. EDD 25 May

    2. How are you feeling? What's this baby doing to make you feel old this week?
    I'm a STM, so it's my DD who makes me feel tired. She's still nursing and the past 2 nights she's needed the boob about 8 times. We cosleep, so it's not terrible unless I can't get back to sleep at the 2:30 comfort session.

    I work full time (20 hours overtime last week), plus I'm on-call at the hospital about 10 nights a month. 

    So right now Poppy seed is treating me very well. :D 

    3. What's on the docket this week? Appointments? Labs? Scans?

    Keeping this a secret from the hospital coworkers where I now have an appointment with the hot, new, realtively young OBGYN. Appointment in 2 weeks.

    4. GTKY: DH took you out for brunch, what are you ordering? 

    Omlette packed with veggies. Or a kiesh, seriously anything with pie crust is amazing. (and no bacon, you bacon lovers can hate now      :p)

    I had my first kid at 26. Honestly, that was my WORST pregnancy. Terrible nausea, terrible swelling, anemia, and a third degree tear. My easiest pregnancy was when I was 34 (so close to being AMA). Absolutely no issues except my preexisting diabetes. I gave birth in triage no tears, and was back to myself within days.
    Personally, I think they make WAY too big of a deal over this old mom stuff. I even read an article recently that while babies born to older moms are at increased risk of genetic diseases, they are also taller, healthier and smarter than babies born to younger women. In the study they compared kids born to the same mom. So there!

    I often think of how much more patient I am as a mother than I ever would have been in my 20s. So much shit just isn't that serious but would would have been hyper important to me then. My house does not need to be pristine, I don't need makeup every day, laundry can wait, I don't *have* to leave this second if my.daighter wants to try to put on her shoes herself or help mama pack the diaper bag. Like, that shit is just so not important to me now.  What's important to me is showing compassion to her, sitting down and playing when she asks, helping her learn confidence and to be proud of herself, to encourage her. Idk, maybe Is would have been this way a decade ago but I used to be so bitch when I didn't have my house perfect and my laundry always caught up and be early to everything. I just feel like I've left a lot of that stress behind in favor of savoring the moments when my kiddo is little. I can have a perfect house in 18 years.
