Due date/Weeks: 4/26, almost 13 weeks

Rants/Raves?
How are you feeling? most of the major symptoms have gone away and got my energy sort of back but I've been super grouchy
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) - night owl I guess, you know except for now when I go to bed at 9
BFP: 8/11/18 Due: 4/26/18
Due date/Weeks: 4/26, 12w4d
Any appointments? Questions? Last Friday we went in for NT scan. Everything was super positive and seeing the LO was the best feeling.
Rants/Raves? We also got the results of our NIPT and ordered cupcakes for a mini reveal at home. Our only friends that are local are having pregnancy issues (brain development isn’t symmetrical and they don’t know the impact) and they are due early November but could go any minute now. So I’m sad it will just be us, DH, DS and I
How are you feeling? Fantastic!! No more progesterone to keep slowing me down!!!
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Honestly, both? Although I lean more night owl
Due date/Weeks: 4/27, 12w4d
Any appointments? Questions? I have my NT scan and results from MaterniT21 test tomorrow... 😬 Nervous, anxious, and excited! Will update tomorrow, hopefully with good news!
Rants/Raves? I’ve been looking forward to *finally* sharing the news with my friends and extended family, but we decided to wait til after my NT scan. Tomorrow’s finally the day and I cannot wait to be able to say something!! My belly sort of popped on Sunday, so I can’t hide it much longer anyways!
How are you feeling? Tiiiired 😴 But otherwise, good.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) I used to be a night owl, I’ve never been a morning person, but nowadays, I’m a perpetually exhausted pigeon!! 😆 Pregnancy has only made it worse, but at least now I have an excuse for going to bed at 9pm!!!
Due date/Weeks: 4/22 - 13 weeks 1 day
Any appointments? Questions? Nope.
Rants/Raves? Doctor changed my due date from the 28th to the 22nd so I was thrust into 2nd trimester.
How are you feeling? Like I'm still in first tri. Sick throughout the day, and ornery as hell the last two days.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? I'm very much a morning person. I get up at five so I can enjoy my coffee and the news or a book before I get ready for work and get the baby ready for daycare. We go to sleep at 9.
Due date/Weeks: 4/27
Any appointments? Questions? Not until November. I have my monthly visit scheduled and I also called the MFM office back for my anatomy scan date. It’s feeling more and more real though.
Rants/Raves? I really can’t wait for the nausea/vomiting to go away.
How are you feeling? Nauseous and still exhausted but the exhaustion could be due to kids driving me crazy.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) Night owl. Not a morning person although if I wake up early and I’m motivated enough I can get so much stuff done.
Due date/Weeks: April 27th
Any appointments? Questions? Have an Echo scan for the baby tomorrow.
Rants/Raves? I’m high risk and every doctor, nurse, everything has something to say about it and it makes me crazy.
How are you feeling? Not too bad. Nauseous from time to time and still some breast tenderness but I’m ok.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) night owl for sure!!! I would be a morning person if morning happened later in the day!! Lol
Due date/Weeks: April 30, 12 weeks
Any appointments? Questions? I had an appt last week & baby was wiggling sooo much!! I do not remember DD1 being so active so early!!
Rants/Raves? DD1 seems to be super excited.. so I am looking forward to seeing her take on the new role of big sister.. Rants though:: Constipation... It sucks so bad!!! I am currently taking DD1 flintstone vitamins because the prenatals are giving me a rough time..
How are you feeling? Exhausted! Way more wore out than I was 1st time around... DD1's schedule apparently is more draining than when I used to work full time! ha!
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) Neither! I want to sleep in & go to bed early now!
DD #2: BFP: 8-19-18 EDD: 4-30-19
Due date/Weeks: April 21 or 26th 13w ish they just changed it to lmp but 26 would have been first us dating so 🤷♀️ Somewhere in that range
Any appointments? Questions? Nt scan on Friday, did the NIPT which came back low risk switched doctors they want to do the nt scan too so that’s fine hopefully all good and excited to see the baby again 😍
Rants/Raves? None really, loving eating, weird peeing 3/4x a night
How are you feeling? seemingly better everyday though still kind of flu like symptoms particularly late afternoon and night excited for second trimester hopefully I feel better.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Morning person though I just sleep a lot. Typically 10/11-7. Sleeping better than pre pregnancy because I’m not drinking
Due date/Weeks: 4/28/19 12wks
Any appointments? Questions? My weekly nutritive IV on Friday.
Rants/Raves? Still sick but since starting IVs 3 weeks ago I’ve been able to eat 2 small meals most days!!!!! (I have HG so this is a HUGE success)
How are you feeling? See above
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!)
A night owl and that’s probably a good thing since I am the most sick in the morning; tho it never leaves me.
@kosmo86 glad to hear most of your symptoms are gone, but sorry you're grouchy!
@lovemaddux hooray for good news! Hoping for the best for your friends.
@llamamamanyc good luck with your results!
@kateriee kind of nice to gain a week! We lost about that early on and it bummed me out!
@tumblefluff hoping you feel better soon, I feel your pain
@izzymarie80 sounds like a pain having every doctor bugging you. Hope the echo goes well!
@distraction gotta love a wiggly baby! Mine both have been squirmers, and my son is still that way now!
@rache1990 yay for good NIPT results!
@saraleigh2 HG is brutal, but I'm glad you're doing a little better!
Due date/Weeks: 4/24, 13 weeks today
Any appointments? Questions? Regular OB appointment on Friday
Rants/Raves? Rave: My son let us all get a really good night's sleep last night and I'm feeling a little better, most likely because of it. Don't even care that we all passed out in my bed and he never made it to his crib - we need to lower his mattress anyway. Rant: I went to the MFM specialist on Friday for my NT scan and everything was great, but they're telling me I need to go back every 4 weeks in addition to my regular OB appointments because I had a LEEP 5 years ago (to remove pre-cancerous cervical tissue due to HPV). I had the same OB but a different MFM in my last pregnancy and I didn't have to do this, so I'm irritated because I really don't want anything else added to my plate right now. Obviously I would do anything to keep my baby happy and healthy, but I had zero issues with my first and I am certain that my OB is quite capable of keeping an eye out for any issues. I'm going to bitch to the OB this week and see if he can make it go away.
How are you feeling? A little better than usual this morning, but mostly still feeling nauseous and exhausted 24/7.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) I'm naturally a night owl but I really have no good hours anymore.
Due date/Weeks: 4/28, 12w3d
Any appointments? Questions? NT scan this morning went well! Got to see the baby flipping around and making life difficult for the nice u/s tech. Had my NIPT done, it’ll be good to have the results back.
Rants/Raves? Not really, though I desperately wish it was Friday.
How are you feeling? Pretty good, been kind of cranky and on the verge of moving to maternity pants from bloat alone. Had a couple nauseous days but not gonna complain.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) A day person, lol. Morning person, if I had to choose. I don’t do well before 6am, but peak around 8-10am. I definitely crash after 9 or 10 at night, even if I can technically stay up later.
Any appointments? Questions? Nope
Rants/Raves? I still feel so nauseous all the time. I’ve taken to walking around the apartment with my big mixing bowl cause I’m constantly dry heaving. I just want to feel a little better, just to be able to eat somewhat.
How are you feeling? See above
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) i am not a morning person, even though I have to be up at 5:30 to get to work.

Any appointments? Phone appointments about my asthma which I need to get under control ASAP. Questions? Anyone else have asthma? Mine has never been taken seriously and finally have a dr that is listening and working on helping me control my asthma.
Rants/Raves?
I just want to eat whatever I want and I can’t because of my new prescription diet for tummy troubles. Grrr
How are you feeling? Have a headache last night and today didn’t sleep well..
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Night owl.

@kbirchtree I have asthma and have taken advair (inhailer) and singular (pill) for many years and my OB directed me to not stop taking when preggo as it's so important to keep symptoms under control. These two meds plus Albuterol inhailer when I'm especially short-of-breath has really helped keep my asthma under control. Good luck!!
Due date/Weeks: April 25 / 13 weeks today
Any appointments? Questions? Had my 12 week appt this past Monday and got to hear my baby's beautiful heartbeat. It really is an amazing sound 😊
Rants/Raves? Nothing yet
How are you feeling? Still a little nauseous, but that's starting to get bed. I'm still tired all the time. I feel like I could sleep all day sometimes.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Definitely a night owl, I hate mornings.
Due date/Weeks: 4/30 12w2d
Any appointments? Questions? Had an appointment last Monday for first trimester screening and an ob appointment for follow up from bleeding.
Rants/Raves? I'm soooo over being sick and my kindergartener needs to quit bringing germs home.
How are you feeling? I'm in migraine hell and over the hg but getting better
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Night owl for sure
Due date/Weeks: 4/25; 13 weeks
Any appointments? Questions? Had my NT scan on Monday, but also got my NIPT results Monday. Low risk for everything and we're having a little girl 🎀
Rants/Raves? I was so excited to have a full meal last night, made steak and pesto pasta. I was actually hungry, glorious. About an hour later I threw it all up. So sad.
How are you feeling? Finally starting to feel close to normal. I get really tired around 3pm and am still having a hard time with overall diet and just eat what I can when I can, but I do feel like it's getting better.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? Definitely a morning person, especially pre-preggo. I used to get up at 4am for my workout, I joke I hit my peak for the day at 8:30am. Now I think I'm still a morning person, I dont make it much longer than sunset most days.
Due date/Weeks: 4/25, 13 weeks + 1 day
Any appointments? Questions? Went in last Wednesday for an emergency ultrasound due to bleeding and they did the NT scan. Everything looks good. Bleeding was caused by a polyp that was removed yesterday.
Rants/Raves? My energy level has been awesome lately, but the polyp removal was unpleasant and it hurts to sit.
How are you feeling? Other than the general soreness from the polyp removal, I feel great.
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? (Stolen from STM check-in!) Definite morning person! I expire at 10 p.m. My H is a night owl for sure, which actually works out because we both get a little alone time every day.
BFP: 1/26/20 | EDD: 9/20/20
2. Appts: one on Monday, fundal height great, hb so hard to find but I wasn’t worried because I’ve been listening at home and I know this kid is good at hiding. Scheduled my gender ultrasound 11/7! Ahhh!
3. Rants/raves: announcing publicly today. I’m glad to have it out and not secret.
4. Feeling pretty good. Gagging in the morning only. My most annoying symptom this time is insomnia. I just want to sleep. Waaah.
5. I was 100% a night owl until I had DD. Now I’m perpetually tired and want to go to bed by 8. But my brain works best at night.
Due date/Weeks: 4/22 / 13w5d
Any appointments? Questions? No appointments this week
Rants/Raves? I’m really happy to be feeling more like myself lately. Every now and then I get crabby or emotional but for the most past it’s all positive. The BEST thing about the week is that I’ve felt little flutters here and there ❤️
How are you feeling? Much better - no nausea, less emotional, etc. I still fall asleep at 9 pm but I don’t really mind at this point
GTKY: Are you a night owl or morning person? I’d say night owl but I still fall asleep pretty early.
