I now have She Will be Loved in my head since reading your update.

[catspajamas2]

When is your due date? How far along are you? : July 4th, 16w5days?

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: Third time mom

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Team Pink

Any Upcoming Appointments?: Anatomy Scan on Feb 22nd.

Symptoms: I am starting to feel tired again... where is my nesting energy? I have an appointment with my hematologist tomorrow to have my quarterly blood work reviewed so maybe there's a vitamin thing behind it but I have a feeling this pregnancy is just going to be a tired one.

Milestones: Pretty much everyone I know is now in the know about the baby. Its kind of nice.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: A mini-rant; I am now settling into 6 days a week of healthy eating and 1 day a week without any "restrictions". My body and the scale clearly only notices the one day a week where I eat treats. On a positive note I've been back at the gym more regularly.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? So many, I had my music library on shuffle last night while making dinner and really enjoyed belting out "How do I live without you". An odd song to have memorized since I really don't listen to country music. My kids asked me to sign more quietly or at least play the Moana song instead.

[vvvvvfee]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 7/17, 14 weeks/6 days

How big is baby? today: lemon, tomorrow: apple

FTM/STM/TTM/etc: TTM

Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? Team Green

Any Upcoming Appointments? 16 week appointment next week

Symptoms: I was having a lot of fatigue over the weekend... I dunno if I was fighting off being sick or what. Hope that was just a fluke. When I wake up in MOTN I have trouble falling back to sleep.

Milestones: Can't think of anything.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Having wardrobe trouble but I'm hesitant to make the leap to maternity clothes because i get so sick of wearing the same shit over and over. i have regular pants that are 1 size up from my regular size, and some that are 2 sizes up, and the 1 size up are getting tight, but the 2 sizes up are too huge.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? Everything I ever listened to regularly, plus any pop junk I've been exposed to regularly.

PennyCandy, have you tried all the lifestyle remedies (this book does a good job covering all of them) and unisom? i would recommend against ambien- it's a nightmare weaning yourself off of it.

[notmoose]

When is your due date? How far along are you?:
7/19. 14w 4d


How big is baby?: large lemon


FTM/STM/TTM/etc: third


Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: Green


Any Upcoming Appointments?: 2/7. The Dr mentioned we'll be doing a blood test for chromosome stuff. He didn't say which one.

Symptoms:
I'm so grouchy lately. My 2 yo broke my heart this morning. I told him to stop talking to me because he just kept saying "mommy?" And then wouldn't say anything. So later he said "I miss you mommy" and I said it back. Then he said "did you yell at me earlier?" 😭😭😭
Headaches, trouble sleeping

Milestones: I think I might be feeling movement. I felt ds at 15 weeks, so it wouldn't be crazy to feel it a bit earlier.


Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:


GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized?
Superman by Eminem
A song by ciara that I can't think of the name
Ignition (remix) by R Kelly

Probably more. All songs I memorized as a youth and still have stored away somewhere in my brain.

[potatocakes]

When is your due date? How far along are you? 8/2 12+4
How big is baby?: Clementine
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?: H and I know, but we're not ready to share yet.
Any Upcoming Appointments?: Monday, checkup (and hopefully ultrasound, I want to see this baby's arms and legs now that they are not little nubs!)
Symptoms: Still nauseated, maybe starting to have more energy, but I might just be better at dealing with it.
Milestones: Baby is genetically healthy according to blood testing!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm solo parenting a 3.5 year old monster this week. Thankfully she has school and I have work, but it's gonna be rough, and I think we will likely break our "no TV on school nights" rule. I also told my boss the news, and he immediately left for lunch, so still no one else knows (director of my dept, etc.)
GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? So many, but the most embarrassing one is probably the entire Olaf's Frozen Adventure Soundtrack (thanks, DD!)

Any Upcoming Appointments?: 2/7

Symptoms: headaches and congestion

Milestones: Baby is healthy according to NIPT! Goodbye 1st trimester!!!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm debating if I should get a doppler. I don't want to stress myself out if I can't find the heartbeat but with DS I had frequent OB visits along with u/s due to having a leap done years ago. My OB said the protocols have changed and the recommendation is to not have as many u/s, especially if the leap was not recent. I'm missing all those extra u/s and seeing my squish!

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? I used to be able to memorize songs but my memory is horrible these days so I don't think I have any memorized.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? Lots! My main favorite albums are Sing the Sorrow by AFI, Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge by My Chemical Romance and Vessels by Starset. Got all those songs memorized.

cornflakegirl what is a leap?

I apologize because I misspelled it. It's called a leep not a leap. A leep is when your Dr removes a sample of tissue from your cervix to see if the cells are cancerous. My Dr advised to have it done after I had an abnormal Pap smear. Luckily everything came back negative. Some of the risks associated with having had a leep done is that it can lead to cervical incompetence in future pregnancies. That is why I had extra u/s with DS.

[cornflakegirl]

sasam that sounds like so much fun!

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: Need to find maternity clothes. I bought a few cheap things last time and wore them out, so they're all ragged now. But I don't wanna.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? I have an extensive list. I can't remember anything else in my life, but I know every single lyric of every song that NSYNC and BSB ever made, a ton of Billy Joel and the Eagles, Michael Jackson, Bruno Mars, Rise Against. The first one that popped in my head though was Aerosmith's I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing.

Oh I had that, after my colposcopy found dysplasic cells (bascially pre-cancerous cells). I had extra u/s with DD to monitor for cervical incompetence but luckily everything was fine. I swear I haven't had a normal Pap in 5 years.

twocupsofcoffee, add me to the Moana train. My four year old likes to switch into her Moana costume after dinner a few times a week, you know, just because.

[notmoose]

twocupsofcoffee I just read that dizziness is common in the 2nd tri. If it worries you tho I'd mention it to your doctor.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?: I'm so over insurance. I'm supposed to start progesterone shots on Friday to help prevent preterm labor. Since I haven't heard from the pharmacy yet, I called them and realized that no one (from the pharmacy, doctor's office, or the med company) had done any of the work needed for me to get my shots. So now, I'm just hoping they can expedite everything and get it done so I can start early next week.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized? A lot of Spanish songs. I start my classes with a weekly song everyday and some songs I've been using for years.

Rants/Raves/AW/Questions?:
I'm just trying to remain zen in the wake of my genetic carrier results. The condition is not something I would ever consider ending a pregnancy over or even pursuing an amnio. I will probably be less zen if MH is also a carrier. My nerves rest more on the NIPT results and a good anatomy scan.

GTKY: What song(s) have you completely memorized?
Way too many. All of the ones from The Greatest Showman. Rent. Some early Taylor Swift. 😂

[goldenbird]

cara I love being in the double digit weeks 😁
