How many weeks are you/baby's size? 12 weeks today, baby is the size of a chicken nugget! Which I know subsequently have to have for lunch.

How are you feeling? So much better after knowing my vitals are ok. That was quite the scare this morning. Overall I'm feeling pretty good except for this sciatica. It's the devil.

Any appts this week? Well I had one on Wednesday then my NT scan today so now I don't go back until March. Everything looked good! Baby is measuring right on track.

Rants/raves/questions? I'm over the flu. DS was feeling better yesterday so I sent him to school then last night his fever went back up to 103.3. I just want him to feel better so I can sleep again. And also, so he feels better.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Probably whining, I'm really amazing at whining.

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 10 weeks. Baby is the size of strawberry/petit four

How are you feeling? Meh. Glad I took the day off to rest since my lower back is still hurting like hell.

Any appts this week? Not until February 12th, when I go for my NT scan. I'm freaking out and wish it could be sooner.

Rants/raves/questions? Partially freaking out because we have to wait until the 22nd for the results of DH's carrier screening and my mom won't stop asking about it. I'm trying to be realistic- there's only a 1 in 41 chance DH is also a carrier, meanwhile the carrier odds for Tay-Sachs is 1 in 27 and neither of us are carriers. I'm trying not to freak out and it's not working well.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Baking. I baked 300 cookies when I was 5 weeks pregnant. I had two different kinds going at once, and they all came out pretty good.

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

I go here now

My OB and MFM decided to go with EDD based on LMP instead of O. So new EDD is August 17th!

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 12 weeks! Size of a bottle of OPI nail polish (https://www.momtastic.com/pregnancy/619949-how-big-is-your-baby-this-week/#/slide/1)

How are you feeling? Meh - still the occasional wave of nausea and the exhaustion / can't sleep cycle is brutal

Any appts this week? NT scan and genetic counseling is Tuesday! Equally excited and terrified. The loss threads have really sent me into a spiral

Rants/raves/questions? I never had the NT scan with DS - what should I expect? It is abdominal or vaginal? Does it take a while?

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? Before I got married I was the absolute best at selecting complete nutjob boyfriends out of a pool of eligible bachelors. So loser-picking? I'd watch that if it was an Olympic event

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@calimom2524 I'm so sorry about your DS! Ugh! Enough flu already! And I said it in the other thread but I'm so happy that you and baby are doing ok after your scare this morning!

calimom2524 · February 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 it's abdominal so it's much more comfortable haha. I drank too much water that my bladder was getting in the way so she made me pee in the middle of it. I would totally medal with you in dating losers, too! And, thank you

Firemanswife11 · February 2018

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 12 weeks! Size of a plum or chicken nugget. Both sound equally appetizing atm.

How are you feeling? Good! Feel like I'm just about over that stomach bug I had earlier this week and am just praying so hard for no more sickness this winter. It has been brutal between the worrying about picking up some nasty bug everywhere to actually catching a nasty bug. My mental health cannot take it!

Any appts this week? Next week, on the 7th. Nothing exciting. My OB doesn't do a NT scan or anything so it's just boring appointments until the anatomy scan at the end of March.

Rants/raves/questions? Rave for DH who came home from work on Wednesday to take care of DS while I was practically dead from vomit fest 2k18.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? SLEEPING.

brzvice · February 2018

@mrsbubbles-2 yay you go here now! Also, I needed that LOL about your olympic sport. Thank you for that!

@jsnakehole I love baking too, but girl two cookie varieties at once?! That's impressive. I'm thinking about making a cheesecake for Valentine's Day but have never used a spring form pan and am concerned. Nothing worse then buying ingredients and it doesn't come out right.

@calimom2524 Sorry about your sciatica,It is so awful. Hoping it goes away ASAP.

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 13 Weeks- A Mini Cactus

How are you feeling? Today I'm feeling pretty good. I've been sleeping better at night now that LO is feeling better and sleeping TTN again. Food and smell aversions are still going strong, not able to eat a lot without feeling like I have to throw up. I was like that until week 20 with my previous pregnancy so am not expecting it to reside anytime soon.

Any appts this week? Not this week. I've been experiencing neuropathy in my feet and legs for a couple weeks which has me concerned. I have multiple sclerosis and numbness and tingling has been my only symptom that luckily I've ever had. OB is aware and I'm monitoring it hoping it goes away soon so I don't have to see my Neurologist or MFM.

Rants/raves/questions? Rave- January is Over.Looking forward to taking a picture of LO with a I'm going to be Big Sister shirt on to make a valentine card to send out and announce the pregnancy for Valentine's Day. I love Valentine's Day!!

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? I've gotten pretty speedy at changing diapers lately and could give that a shot, BUT truthfully I wouldn't even make it into the Olympics because I would miss the deadline for entrance due to my true skill, procrastinating.

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@calimom2524 Thanks! So don't drink too much water before lol! My appt is at 3pm and that's usually when my nausea starts up so that'll be interesting...

@jsnakehole sorry about your back and the tamiflu! Get some rest today

@Firemanswife11 so glad you're feeling better! FX anything else stays far, far away!

@brzvice can't wait to see your announcement! I laughed at your GTKY:

windywoman · February 2018

@JanetSnakehole I bake too! I love it but, I can't seem to find the time or energy lately.

@brzvice Procrastinating was going to be my answer!

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 11 weeks a Lime

How are you feeling? I feel ok. Around dinnertime lately I have been getting really nauseous. Also I fall asleep fine but wake up at least 72 times and toss and turn and think about the craziest things!

Any appts this week? Not until next Thursday the 8. I am so anxious! I agree @mrsbubbles-2
the losses have me wrecked.

Rants/raves/questions? I have been wondering how many/which appointments everyone's SOs go to. My DH doesn't get paid time off at all. If he isn't working he isn't getting paid. At my last appointment my Dr. said at next weeks appointment we will hear the heartbeat but I am also going to schedule my NT scan. I think it is more important for him to see the baby since he hasn't.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? My family would say running late. But, I would say running right on time! Which is the only running I do ; )

calimom2524 · February 2018

@Brezzy1928 I'm probably the minority here but I don't bring SO to any of them. I'll probably bring him to the anatomy scan but the appointments are all so boring. With DS1 I brought exH to all of them and by the end I was like why am I doing this? Especially the first and second trimester appointments because it's literally just listen to the heartbeat, doctor asks if you have any questions or concerns, and home you go.

mrsbubbles-2 · February 2018

@Brezzy1928 DH only comes to the ultrasounds for this one. For my first, in the beginning he came to all of them but I’m high risk so when I get to 32 weeks I have at least 3 appointments a week and it’s just too much. I agree, seeing the baby is first. I’ll be making a recording of the heartbeat at the OBs office for him

hoodwink89 · February 2018

How many weeks are you/baby's size?
11 weeks. The size of a lime!

How are you feeling?
Nauseas and sleepy. Also my boobs are super tender, I have to wear a bra all the time.

Any appts this week?
One next Thursday for our genetic testing and a check up. My diabetes meds seem to be working so hopefully no more changes for now.

Rants/raves/questions?
I feel like DD is ending up with every sickness that enters her school. She missed 3 days last week and 2 days this week. Poor thing is miserable.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for?
Totally would be sleeping right now. I feel like I could sleep for 18 hours a day and still be tired. Of course that isn't even possible with a 5 year old at home! Lol

Secretstapler · February 2018

Wow, some how I totally missed this yesterday.

I feel so awful for everyone dealing with the flu and more. I hope everyone feels better soon!

@mrsbubbles-2 I think they do sometimes want a full bladder for the early ultrasounds. Or at least not an empty one. I think I've heard of them asking women to empty their bladder halfway, which just sounds ridiculous to me. But I think all of that is much more of a concern earlier on. I did my NT scan yesterday, and they have signs on the restroom door asking patients who are there for ultrasounds to not empty their bladders. I made sure not to empty my bladder, but it wasn't uncomfortably full either. They didn't comment on it.

How many weeks are you/baby's size?
12 weeks! Either a plum or a swedish fish. Because those are so the same size...

How are are you feeling?
Eh. I think I'm feeling better, but I'm not really sure yet. I can't tell if I am feeling better or if I am just getting better at managing my eating to avoid getting too hungry or too full. I did walk to the park today, which is maybe half a mile each way, and it knocked me out. I'm not just worn out, I've been fighting sleep since we got back home 2 hours ago.

Any appts this week?
I had a check up with my midwife on Wednesday, then my NT scan on Friday. I was a bit anxious after the midwife because she couldn't find the heartbeat, so it was really nice to have the scan 2 days later. Luckily, the scan went well, and we saw that the placenta was on top, which was likely the problem with the Doppler. My next appointment isn't until March.

Rants/raves/questions?
We finally saw the new Star Wars movie today. I cried through like half of it. Not like the big dramatic moments, I just couldn't stop thinking about these brave people who were willing to sacrifice everything for the rebel cause. Somehow it was just too much for me.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for?
Oh, man. I can think of a couple of things I'm above average at, but nothing I'm a real champion at. I am pretty darn good at snapping a cloth diaper on my two year old while he's standing on my lap.

windywoman · February 2018

@calimom2524 and @mrsbubbles-2 Thanks for answering. I am going to just wait until my next ultrasound for him to come.

livinthesunnylife · February 2018

Hi Hi Hi, sorry I'm late!

How many weeks are you/baby's size? 11 weeks, lime

How are you feeling? I feel fine, just get more tired when I'm chasing DS around all day

Any appts this week? Nope, nothing unil 2/12

Rants/raves/questions? I made the mistake of going to the Phoenix Open Friday, which is a blast when you are part of the party. But sober & pregnant? Not at all as much fun.

GTKY: If you could turn any activity into an Olympic sport, what would you have a good chance at winning a medal for? oooh this is hard! Multitasking? I have lost the ability to just focus on one thing anymore. I was going to say drinkin....cause I used to be the first girl picked for any of the drinking games in the frat house...but not lately lol. Truth? I'm competitive. What's the game, I gotta win.
