How far along are you? EDD? 21,3 EDD 3/30
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically, I'm feeling fine most of the time. Moving is starting to get kinda tricky (already) and there are some aches/pains from moving in weird ways, but I'm gonna say good in this department. Emotionally, anxiety has been at possibly the highest it's been all pregnancy this past week. I don't know if hitting halfway triggered some sort of panic response or if some of the losses I've heard about this week have affected me more than I realized, but it's been kind of a trip. That said, I've also started feeling more distinct movements from Iggy, so that's been really nice and reassuring, even if it makes me feel ill half the time.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Appointment on Wednesday to follow up on an abscess, Anatomy pt 2 next week Friday, V day the Friday after that.
Any other word vomit to share? Not really. Just trying to zen and enjoy myself.
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it? Eggs Benedict, hands down. I love it so much, but only get the chance to eat it maybe once a month or two. MrRama isn't a big breakfast guy, so when we make time to go out and the place we choose has the dish, I'm certain to get it.

Rama (((hugs))) I’m sorry anxiety has been tough. How far along are you? EDD? 8w1d, 7/1/17 How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Nausea has really kicked up. I’m so worried about throwing up my meds, but luckily I haven’t gotten sick yet. Exhaustion is a close second. Any upcoming appointments or milestones? We had some tough milestones related to our second loss last week. My 8 week appointment is Wednesday. It was at our 8 week appointment that our third loss was discovered, so I’m feeling really anxious even though things have looked up so far. Any other word vomit to share? Nope! QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food?How often are you able to get it? My absolute favorite is challah French toast with two eggs over easy. It’s been years since I’ve indulged! I know I can’t do over easy eggs right now, but it may be time to splurge with some challah French toast!

How far along are you? EDD? 9w2d/June 23
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I think things are starting to get a little better. I don't feel so much like sleeping ALL THE TIME anymore, and I think the nausea is starting to get better? *crossing fingers* Beyond that, sore boobs, cravings, weird dreams, and a little RPL. Emotionally I'm actually feeling really calm right now. I think I've resigned myself to "whatever happens, happens". I'm a firm believer in signs and that the universe works the way it's supposed to. If things don't work out, they just weren't meant to be. But my optimistic side is also saying "things will work out!"
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I have my meeting with my high risk doctor next Monday, and my dating ultrasound next Friday.
Any other word vomit to share? I officially came out to my boss on Friday. I couldn't avoid it anymore, with how many appointments I have coming up. I also told one of my other coworkers who I feel close to, but I'm not planning on telling anyone else until after I see how my ultrasound goes. If it goes well I'll probably bring in donuts or cupcakes or something.
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it? My favorite breakfast food actually changes pretty often. It's pretty much whatever I feel like having. Pancakes I guess? They're kind of my go to more often than not. I make them myself so I can get them whenever I want, although I don't get the really good ones I make unless we happen to have Greek yogurt in the house.

How far along are you? EDD? 27+4, 2/15
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? I feel like I post this every week, but chasing my 17 month old around with a bigger and bigger bump is really getting not fun. It’s pretty tiring to stand through my classes so I just sit when I feel like it now. It’s an awkward way to teach, but whatever. Emotionally I’m ok. I had an extra ultrasound last week because my bump was measuring 6 weeks (!) ahead. But baby measures completely average, as do my fluid levels. I was super stressed the week I had to wait for the u/s but I feel much calmer now.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? I can’t believe I will hit seven months this week. It all feels really hypothetical right now!
Any other word vomit to share? I failed my GD one hour. So annoying. Just a few points, just like last time. The three hour is so boring and sucky. Plus the concern that I actually might have it this time...
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it? I actually really love cereal. Special K with skim milk is just so good... I don’t normally eat it because I try to eat something healthier, but while pregnant all bets are off. Brunch food is a whole different catagory. It’s my favorite meal and I love all of it... French Toast with a side of buffalo home fries is up there. And obviously mimosas.

How far along are you? EDD? 20 weeks. Half-baked! 4-9-17
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically I'm miserable. I have some bad sciatica pain on my right side causing issues with sitting/standing/laying for too long in any one position. Sure makes it hard to get comfortable at all. Still some crazy numbness in my hands.
Emotionally I'm very anxious. Two nights ago I woke up in a panic thinking something was wrong with baby and whipped out my doppler to check on him. I'm definitely feeling very nervous lately. Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Any other word vomit to share? I have my a/s in the morning. I hope everything goes okay.
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it? I love 1-2 over easy eggs with sausage links and extra crispy hashbrowns.

ldubhawksfan Sorry for not updating earlier. All went well. He's measuring 4-5 days ahead, weighing about 13 oz, and my doc said he looks perfect! I can't wait to snuggle him! 😍

Hi all, I hope you don’t mind if I jump in here.
How far along are you? EDD? 4w3d - July 30, 2018
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? So far I have no symptoms except a positive pregnancy test and cramping.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? None yet.
Any other word vomit to share? I had my loss two years ago and I stupidly thought it wouldn’t effect me. But now this pregnancy has started with a dose of fear. I have no symptoms and pain on my right side is probably normal but makes me nervous. I will schedule my first appointment when I’m around 7w because I don’t want to go and have an ultrasound and it be uncertain.
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it?
Biscuits and gravy. Usually only when I go out for breakfast, so not too often.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

How far along are you? EDD? 15+5, 5/12/18
How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Physically pretty good. Nausea is still hanging around, mostly in the evenings, and I’m still exhausted. I’m not sure how much of the exhaustion is due to my two year old though haha.
Emotionally, pretty good, I think, except that I have been having to use my doppler every night for the last week or so. It’s reassuring to hear his heartbeat, so I’m not thinking I should stop or anything. It’s mostly that gut wrenching panic if I can’t find him immediately. I still feel like I’m waiting on something horrible to happen.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones? 16-week appt on 11/29, and then we’ll schedule my AS.
Any other word vomit to share? Not really. Hope everyone had a good thanksgiving if you’re in the US.
QotW: What is your favorite breakfast food? How often are you able to get it? Hmm. Mine changes a lot. Like this morning it was oatmeal haha. But if I had to choose, I’d probably go with French toast. I could have it any time I want as long as I had the stuff to make it, but I probably only make it once or twice a month. We’re not big breakfast preparers.
