2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
14 weeks- June 5th- still waiting for my NIPT results. FX that I can become a member of team pink or blue today!
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Like I'm not even pregnant. Maybe a little hungrier and BFing is still the worst pain ever (maybe labor was worse- not sure though). But for the most part I can forget for hours at a time that I'm still pregnant.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Without my doppler I'd be a hot mess, since my symptoms have subsided quite a bit. Mostly I'm okay, but I still have to check for a heartbeat pretty frequently.
5. When is your next appointment?
12/20

I'm a huge snickerdoodle fan. DH is a huge peanut butter fan, so I'll probably have to make a batch of PB kisses and snickerdoodles soon.

2. how far along are you? EDD? Team green pink or blue?
14w3d, June 3. Haven’t found out yet but hoping we can see at our 16w ultrasound!
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
DH was just asking me this last night and I had to stop and think for a minute- honestly I’m feeling really good.
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Like @jsl82 using my doppler has helped so much. And I’m positive I felt baby moving yesterday. For a week or so I’ve felt a little bump here and there that I thought maybe was baby... yesterday for sure felt about 6 little bumps right in a row which is definitely not what gas bubbles feel like for me. Last ultrasound baby was measuring 5 days ahead so probably measuring 15w right now and I felt DD at 16 weeks so I’m not surprised! I know I won’t feel anything consistent for a few more weeks but it has me feeling so much better!
5. When is your next appointment?

So this lady I work with (who knows about my 2 losses) was asking me a few days ago if I was having any morning sickness and I told her it was really pretty minimal and was with DD too. She made a comment how lucky I was to have such easy pregnancies. I know she meant well but it seriously rubbed me the wrong way- I’ve had 2 pregnancies that resulted in loss-those weren’t easy. This pregnancy with PGAL brain is NOT easy, being dependent on progesterone to support the pregnancy the first 12 weeks wasn’t easy, intermittently bleeding from a subchorionic hematoma isn’t easy... yada yada rant over. But seriously I know my symptoms aren’t bad and I am very lucky for that but we each have our own struggles and people should be considerate.
7. GTKY – Inspired by the cookie post- what is your favorite cookie?
I just love frosted sugar cookies! I live about 20 minutes from my parents (some days this is good, some days not as much
) and we get together to do most of our Christmas baking. I think DD will have fun this year helping us put sprinkles on!
3. I am feeling pretty ok most of the time. Still gag whenever I brush my teeth. Constipation and gas are the worst things right now.
4. I am actually pretty anxious right now. I have an US in a week and I’m terrified that everything is not all right.
5. Next appt is 12/14
6. So they made me do an early glucose test because of my high BMI and I failed it. Cut off was 135 and I was 138. So now I have to do the 3 hour test. Currently I start dry heaving when I get really hungry so fasting for 15 hours is going to suck. It’s also not helping my anxiety because I’m worried this is going to cause issues for baby. I’m trying to look at it as a slap in the face to get healthy. I know I’m overweight, I’ve struggled with self control since my daughter died last year. Even if I pass the 3 hour test, I’m going to adopt a healthier lifestyle.
7. My favorite cookies are spicy molasses cookies. I just made 4 dozen the other day for a cookie drive. They are so good!

3. Been feeling lots of stretching and mild cramping which always leaves me feeling worried. Heartburn and acid reflux. Sore boobs still, like really sore. Headaches. Dry gagging over everything but haven’t thrown up in a while.
4. Honestly, not good at all. I couldn’t figure out what was causing it, but then I realized that this Friday would have been our second baby’s due date. And now it all makes sense. Makes me that much more anxious that something is going to go wrong again. I’ve been taking it out on DH & DD and I feel so awful about that. It’s such a hard thing, still emotionally healing from 2 losses this year, but yet feeling overjoyed and already in love with this baby now. I’m borrowing a Doppler from a cousin on Friday, so I’m hoping that’ll give me some good peace of mind until our next appt.
5. 16 week appt on the 19th, gender revealing ultrasound on the 22nd!
6. I’ve been feeling some questionable movement for the past two days, and I’m starting to wonder if I’m starting to feel baby! It’s not quite flutters yet, just a wave of light pressure in my uterus. I vaguely remember DD’s movements starting out the same way. Leaves me feeling hopeful & excited either way!
7. I’m not sure if they are a thing everywhere.. I come from a Mennonite community and “cream cookies” (they have a different German name) are my favourite! Similar to sugar cookies, only fluffier and creamier! My grandma makes the best ones!
3. Feeling really good with exception of headaches.
4. I bought a Doppler which has made me feel so much better!!
5. 16 w appt on the 21st!! And I get to do the one hour GD test that day since I had GD before. I'm really really hoping I pass.
6. So last night I was microwaving popcorn chicken for DD and all of a sudden there was a huge fire in the microwave. I had to use the extinguisher- everything I fine I worked all morning to get the mess cleaned up but it was so scary and I don't want to use the microwave again!! I googled and there are lots of stories about frozen popcorn chicken catching on fire!!
7. I just love sweets period. Have a cookie exchange Sunday and no idea what to make!
I was sick until 20 weeks with my last pregnancy so I doubt 12 weeks will be my magic week. But we can hope

12+3, green
3. How are you feeling (pregnancy symptoms)
Good, sleepy more often, sore boobs and armpits lol
4. How are you feeling (anxiety wise)
Better since I bought a doppler. I probably check once or twice a week when I feel anxious or worried, wondering if my belly has grown every day. But I also feel better because I feel as if my belly just popped this week compared to last week.
5. When is your next appointment?
Next week, the 13th

Some days I love the vivid dreams, other days not so much. Like today's nightmare dealt with me being laid off and then the one before that was of cut up body parts! All stem from a few small things yesterday, like me looking around my cube and thinking I have a lot of pictures I have to pack if I ever get laid off (knock on wood). The other nightmare came from reading an autopsy... Of all the little things that happened or I thought of yesterday, why did my dreams have to stem from THOSE lol
7. GTKY – Inspired by the cookie post- what is your favorite cookie?
I love cookies!!! So basically ANY cookie! but if I really have to pick, chocolate chip cookies.
