How are things going?
Good. Feeling some cramping and have been a lot more nauseous the past two days than previously.
Appointments upcoming/recent?
Nuchal translucency scan today.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Was supposed to do the cell-free fetal DNA test, too, but I need pre-authorization for it for it to be covered by my insurer and I can't reach anyone at the perinatal center on the phone to ask them to do it. Left some messages...that has been frustrating. Just crossing my fingers that all looks ok on the scan. Still debating whether dealing with a practice where it's really tough to get a human is a dealbreaker. They are always so helpful in person...
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! Definitely finding out. Was hoping we would know with the cell-free fetal DNA test, but if we don't get that, I guess we'll just have to wait. I have the feeling it's a boy.
How are things going? Pretty good.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Family medicine doctor appointment in January
Rants/Raves/Questions? I would really enjoy a nap right now!
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! We will not be finding out, I have won the war on that! I feel it will make labor that much more special, and motivating.

How are things going?
Good, nausea is lessening and comes in waves but passes if I eat something. Everything else is good so far.
Appointments upcoming/recent
My first one was yesterday, saw the little baby and heart beat, so fun! Everything looked good so my next one isn't until January 26th and won't be an ultrasound.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Still giddy from my ultrasound yesterday. Now, I need to tell my boss, I have so much anxiety over telling people at work and I'm not sure why. I know they will be happy for me but it's just so personal and I'm not super close with them. I just need to get it over with.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!!
Definitely will be finding out. I love the idea of team green but I don't think I could do it knowing that I could find out right then.
How are things going? Things are going well. I just had a nightmare last night that something was wrong with the baby at my first US and they needed to get me into surgery right away. Yikes! Needless to say couldn't go back to sleep.
Appointments upcoming/recent? First US on Saturday! Can't come soon enough after last night.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I am sitting here at work in a long sleeved shirt, and a hugh sweater on top of it an I am freezing. Even my hands in my shoes are cold. On top of that despite the fact that I am freezing I am also sweating. What the heck.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! Definitely finding out. I'm a planner...I don't like surprises.
How are things going? they could be better. I feel like I'm not evening getting to enjoy the holidays between work stress, MS, and fatigue.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Dec 29
Rants/Raves/Questions? see my rant above. Lol. Trying to be more positive. I'm loving being pregnant but I can't wait for January when hopefully work slows down a little and I get a second tri energy boost!
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! before I got pregnant I wanted to be team green. Now that I'm pregnant I need to find out. Lol. We scheduled our ultrasound appointment for DHs birthday!!

BFP 11/1/17 // DS born 6/18
TTC January 2019
BFP 3/21/19 // D&C (MMC) 5/8/19
How are things going? Pretty good. I feel like the only things I ever say at home are "I'm SO tired" and "I'm SO hungry."
Appointments upcoming/recent? My first ultrasound and blood draw is Jan 2.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Last night I went to sleep at 7:50, after a huge dinner.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! I'll find out.
How are things going? Good! A little nausea, sore boobs, fatigue, moodiness.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Had one Monday!! Everything looked great! I go back on December 26th!
Rants/Raves/Questions? Just happy everything looked good!
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! We will be finding out!! I like the idea of team green(maybe when we have a second one) but can't wait to find out(even though I don't have a preference)!!!
How are things going? Good except that I'm SO DEHYDRATED all the time. It's pretty miserable. I'm blaming the progesterone I'm taking. I'm drinking an insane amount of water and supplementing with pedialyte. Only 3 weeks, 6 more days on this progesterone. I've also been sleeping a lot. And holy moly my boobs HURT.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Had an US with my RE on Monday at 7+6 and got to hear and see the heartbeat! It was such a relief hearing that. My husband was astounded that they can hear the heartbeat this early. I have a follow up US with the RE next Monday (12/18) at 8+6 because I had some spotting (likely from the horrible plastic progesterone applicator). They plan to "graduate" me to my obgyn after that! My first appointment with my obgyn isn't until Jan 5 at 11+3.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I'm annoyed because my obgyn doesn't want to do an US at my appointment and just wants me to bring my US from 8+6 with me. Maybe it's FTM nerves and/or PAIF nerves (or my anxiety disorder...could definitely be that), but I feel like a lot of bad things could happen in 3 weeks. I'm at a higher risk of loss because of my PCOS and I think that should warrant an extra US at the end of the first trimester to make sure everything is ok. I'm going to ask the RE at my next appointment if he thinks I should have another first trimester US. If he says no, hopefully that will ease some of my worries. And if he says yes then I can call my obgyn and tell them to give me the US or I'll make another appointment with my RE for one.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! Team Green! My husband was wavering on it, but I won him back over to it by explaining that it meant a lot to me that I'll be surprised at the birth. ETA: when we told some of our family we were going to wait until birth to find out the sex, they asked "What will the baby WEAR?!" I said "I promise, the baby will not be naked. The baby will have clothes."
How are things going? I'm exhausted. Got some round ligament pains happening, which I'll take over ms. Im also experiencing the whole hot/cold nonsense. As well as some palpitations at night. I am starting to not have an appetite. Food just doesnt sound good, except French fries.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Dec. 27th will be my 10 week appointment.
Rants/Raves/Questions? My MIL passed away yesterday, so we are very heartbroken and then some. Luckily, dh was able to tell his mom when she was lucid that I'm pregnant. She smiled. This baby is truly a blessing. With my dad passing away in October and now my mil...this silver lining is really something we are looking forward to.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! I HAVE to know. Lol I feel so look weird calling this baby "it". I would love to be able to say he or she. Either way though, we will be happy.
How are things going? thought my nausea/vomiting was going away last week but has come roaring back this week. Feels like it's never going to end at this point and I'm just so over it and miserable. Had a scare with spotting last week too but seems to have resolved and babies are ok
Appointments upcoming/recent? A lot actually. Had impromptu u/a last Friday when I had spotting then had regular appointment this Monday where we saw the babies again. They took blood for all the genetic testing so nervous about hearing those results in a week or so (think it takes longer for twins). Have NT scan on Monday and will have an appointment with MFM sometime between now and early Jan
Rants/Raves/Questions? just can't wait for work to wind down. Last week or two have been super rough and while dealing with MS I am just so checked out and need it to be the holidays
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! Absolutely have to know. We should soon when we get the results of the genetic testing. Can't wait! Most important thing is two heathy babies but we would love to have at least one boy in there cooking
How are things going? They are going fine as far as I know. Still having most of the same symptoms I started with. I have so much fear that I’m trying not to dwell on.
Appointments upcoming/recent? I have the NT scan and NIPT testing on Friday. My last ultrasound was at 7 weeks 4 days.
Rants/Raves/Questions? I’m so scared that something will be wrong at my u/s Friday that I don’t even want to go. I’ve been having nightmares about it. Because of my diabetes and hypothyroidism, I fear that I won’t make it out of the first trimester. I always wanted a baby so bad, but never realized that once I got pregnant I would be so concerned every day. It doesn’t help that I already have obsessive anxiety about other normal life things lol. I’m just a mess lately.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! I definitely want to know the gender and if our insurance approves the genetic testing then we will find out around Christmas or a little after.
@devilcat139 I’m so glad your Little’s are doing well! What a scare! I’m so jealous you have an OB in the family! So convenient!
How far along are you?

How are things going?
Still nauseous and exhausted. My clothes feel a little tighter.
Appointments upcoming/recent?
Next one on Tuesday.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
Rant- DH just got another job in addition to his already full time job- to bring in extra money before the baby. But now he can’t come to my check up on Tuesday. I can’t be upset because we really need the extra funds, but I am upset that he won’t be there. I’m not even sure what happens at this appointment- we went in at around 6 weeks and got to the trans US, so I’m wondering do they do another one? Or check on the baby in any way? Or is it more to check my vitals, weight and urine... anyway- just nervous- my sister is going to come with me- so I am happy about that- just bummed about DH.
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!!
I keep going back and forth with wanting to find out- I think I’m going to go with not finding out- but I’ve changed about three times so far since we got our BFP, so it still could change!
@devilcat139 Sorry about the scare, but Happy to hear the little ones are ok
@hayhay93 I feel you on the anxiety. I hope all goes well tomorrow and you can get some relief.
How far along are you? 9+4
How are things going? Overall, feeling pretty good! Symptoms have been minimal, and I feel like I have managed to dodge MS.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Nothing until our NT Scan on 2 January. It feels so far away!
Rants/Raves/Questions? I think I may have to retire the bra I wore today since my boobs hardly for in it anymore. Not going to lie, as someone who is normally pretty small chested I am kind of excited about this
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! Definitely finding out. I wouldn't be able to handle not knowing. I hate surprises.

Appointments? Had US on Monday and heard a strong HB, getting genetic blood test results back TODAY and going for NT scan on 12/27. I'm nervous, but I feel like we'll be getting over a big bump after this (pun intended)
Rants/raves/ questions? Nothing really. DH told me "your boobs are getting huge" and couldn't stop laughing last night. It was quite entertaining. I'm between a b and a c cup so I'll take it!
Will you be finding out? ABSOLUTELY! We should get the gender results today as well together with the genetic testing.
How are things going?pretty well I guess. No MS, which every month I was MS sick with my cycle so this is a giant plus. My breasts are larger, already a 38dd so yeah. I bloated at the end on month 2 and I don't know how I feel about that, I mean I know I will gain weight but gah I didn't expect to look pregnant this fast. I am going to ease myself back into the gym.
Appointments upcoming/recent? Transvaginal ultrasound is Wednesday 12/20, we only had the regular little one in the office at our last visit which showed me being on track. Second doc visit is the Wednesday after 12/27
Rants/Raves/Questions? I like to write. I was very excited to start a pregnancy journal but I cannot find one that I really like. Most of the ones I found are like fill it ins. I need a pregnancy journal for a journalist. Also I am excited to tell people but I am so scared to announce our pregnancy. I bought a shirt to wear to Christmas and I'm scared to. Wth
GTKY: Will you be finding out what you are having? Team Green all the way? Or keep it a surprise? Or I Need to know now!!! We hope to find the gender just so we can fully decide on a name and stop using they/them/their pronouns.
