[tinyjoys]

1. EDD/How far are you now?
5/5; 21+4

2. How big is baby?
a least weasel.

3. Team?
pink.

4. Symptoms:
I've been sick with a cold/bug the last week or so, so I'm not sure what's that & what's pregnancy right now. Nausea/vomiting could be pregnancy or could be post nasal drip or my coughing up a lung; exhaustion; sore joints.

5. What and when is your next appointment?
Next Wednesday with the OB.

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
H got to feel the baby kick last night for the first time. And then we talked names and realized that we're back to the drawing board as neither of us love our original choice anymore. I plan on spending some time on name berry today to see if anything catches my eye.

7. QOTW: What is your favorite perfume? What other scents do you like?
I really like Clinique Happy & Gucci Guilty. As far as other scents, I have to be so careful as they cause migraines. We aren't huge candle/scent people really.

8. Show off your bump!
No pictures this week. I'm slacking. Maybe I'll take one later & edit.

[numbears]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 20; 15w


2. How big is baby? A pack of crayons

4. Symptoms: insomnia, heartburn, baby brain


5. What and when is your next appointment? 01/02 for AFP bloodwork; 01/09 is next prenatal appointment


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I had my NIPT bloodwork done yesterday. Now to wait for the results. We told DS & our families over Christmas. DS is excited and is asking me lots of questions and checks on the baby frequently. Our families were surprised and excited. I think many assumed we were OAD since DS is 4.5 yrs.


7. QOTW: What is your favorite perfume? What other scents do you like? Coach poppy. I am a big candle lover. I love apple, pumpkin, and plumeria scents to name a few.

[Speedy]

1. EDD/How far are you now? June 30, 13w4d


2. How big is baby? Jalapeno


3. Team? Finding out


4. Symptoms: Not much really. Some mild nausea, I had a headache for a couple of days, my sciatica is still being a bitch, and vivid dreams (as evidenced by my 4 am post in randoms lol)


5. What and when is your next appointment? High risk doctor on 01/03 and OB appointment 01/22


6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? I'm officially out! I'm so excited lol. I think I shocked a few people though. That'll happen when you get to 7 years married without a kid I guess. My parents are already planning on how their going to get up here and how my mom is going to stay to help out for the first little while. I guess her work friends are planning an "Oma party" for her


7. QOTW: What is your favorite perfume? What other scents do you like? I don't wear perfume, ever. Maybe this should be in a confession, but I don't use soap when I'm showering, and haven't since I stopped taking bubble baths. I have a very neutral personal scent, and like it that way.
As for other scents, I tend to gravitate towards vanilla scents for things like candles. Cinnamon or orange is good too.

8. Show off your bump!

orange

OB apt in two week, but I need to call my OB because my first injection is supposed to be tomorrow, but I haven't heard anything

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants?
Just annoyed that they seem to have dropped the ball on these injections

7. QOTW: What is your favorite perfume? What other scents do you like?

8. Show off your bump!

[jessila]

1. EDD/How far are you now? May 20/19+4

2. How big is baby? Gameboy

3. Team? PINK

4. Symptoms: RLP, carpal tunnel, nausea is getting worse?, Sore hips

5. What and when is your next appointment? OB next Friday, just had A/S

6. Questions/Concerns/Comments/Rants? It's a girl!? Oh my gosh. I wanted a girl but never really thought I'd have one since my husband's family is mostly boys.
At the A/S the MFM said there's a tiny choroid plexus cyst in her brain. That can indicate trisomy 18 but my blood work was clear and she has no other markers for it. She's also stubborn, so we have to go back in a month to check that and to finish getting some specific measurements.

7. QOTW: What is your favorite perfume? What other scents do you like?
I don't wear perfume but I'll occasionally wear some body mist from B&BW in Cotton Sea Breeze? I like light, crisp, clean scents.

It's very common to have these sorts of soft markers on U/S. The majority of the time it means nothing. I'm glad you're not freaking out DS#2 had a cardiac echogenic focus on the U/S. But we both worked in genetics so we didn't worry either.
