How far along are you? EDD? 26w2d, June 30

How are you feeling physically and emotionally? Tired, so much vom.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones? Appointments galore on the 5th, and then hitting 3rd tri on the 7th

Any other word vomit to share? Had to call in sick to work this morning because nothing would stay down. I feel terrible because I called less than an hour before I was supposed to start.
Also, managed to fall again on the weekend. Yup. Had to go in for 4 hour monitoring. Luckily F was super busy and so they got a really good reading off of him, and no contractions from me.

QotW: Do you have a favorite go to healthy snack while pregnant? I definitely eat a lot of boiled eggs. Also I usually have a bran muffin every morning at work for snack. Cheese and crackers are good, and I've been craving fruit and carrots and cucumber recently.

How far along are you? EDD?
16w, 9/5

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
Physically I am tired and emotionally feeling good. Still not really ready to be super open about pregnancy until anatomy scan.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
Found out it’s a boy at a 16w scan

Any other word vomit to share?

QotW: Do you have a favorite go to healthy snack while pregnant?
I also do a lot of hard boiled eggs, roasted nuts, pb toast, cheese slices, carrots... healthier than some of the things I could be eating.

How far along are you? EDD?
8w5d, Halloween

How are you feeling physically and emotionally?
So tired. Doesn't help that DS has been waking up at all hours of the night. And not getting enough sleep makes my nausea worse. Emotionally, getting keyed up as my second u/s approaches. I made the mistake with loss #2 of thinking everything was ok because I made it past the previous loss without bleeding. Now, even with a good first u/s, I keep thinking about what could still go wrong.

Any upcoming appointments or milestones?
u/s #2 on Thursday, then transferring to a regular OB. Scary.

Any other word vomit to share?
Trying to hold off on using my doppler until at least 9 weeks, only marginally successfully (I've already tried it once)

QotW: Do you have a favorite go to healthy snack while pregnant?
I like hardboiled eggs, although I try to only eat the whites; pistachios; so much fruit

We had our 9 week scan today. Baby is measuring 2 days ahead now (instead of 1 at the last u/s) and heart rate was 171. We graduated to the regular OB! This finally is starting to feel real.

I am so sorry I missed this check-in. It has been a crazy week.

We had an anatomy scan at 20 weeks and 3 days today and everything checked out perfect. No sign of the choroid plexus cyst, and he is a week ahead. I am so relieved. We got to see his face on 3D. I cannot believe it still, but it is finally setting in a bit.

DrHooch amazing. I am so happy for your miracle.
