When is your due date? How far along are you? Sept. 6 - 17w,4d
How big are babies? 5 inches!
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? 1 boy for sure... anxious to find out the gender of the other!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Still about two weeks away from our anatomy scan (4/18).
Symptoms: Exhausted. Sooooo emotional.
Milestones: I can pick up a heartbeat with the Doppler in just a few seconds now. I only check about once a week, and don’t allow myself to try to find two (because I would go crazy). It has really helped with the anxiety while I wait for their movement to get consistent.
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? Not this week!
GTKY: What is your favorite children’s book? For littles: Good Night Gorilla and The Gruffalo. Older kiddos: Judy Blume’s Fudge books and the Ramona Quimby books.

When is your due date? How far along are you? 9/20, 15w4d
How big is baby? Navel orange / Hass Avocado / Cinnamon Roll
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know? FINDING OUT TONIGHT!!! There's a voicemail on my cell phone with the results of the sex from my Harmony bloodwork!
Any Upcoming Appointments? Next week
Symptoms: Tired, the heart palpitations still, and the gagging/vomiting from trying to cough up phlegm (sorry...gross)
Milestones: I just talked to the OB nurse about a half hour ago and my HARMONY BLOOD WORK CAME BACK OK!!!!! Back to super low risk for any of the trisonomies. So relieved!!!!!
Rants/Raves/AW/Questions? So happy I am right now!! Also trying to figure out how I'm supposed to get anything done at work today with that voicemail indicator on my phone!!
GTKY: What is your favorite children’s book? MH's aunt bought DS "Sheep in a Jeep" by Nancy Shaw and I love it. I bought "Sheep on a Ship", "Sheep Trick or Treat", and "Sheep Take a Hike" too. There's a few more about the Sheep that I still want to buy.

wisco - I had to break out my doppler one day last week too. It's certainly nice to have. I imagine that has to be tricky to find both so that's probably really smart thinking to just not. Very much looking forward to being able to put it away because I can feel movement.

Nymeria I love Sheep in a Jeep!! When I was in elementary school the author came and read the book and we got autographed copies. I've had that book memorized for years and years. I like to buy that one for baby showers!

When is your due date? How far along are you?
Sept 21st, 15 weeks ish (I’m so over counting days lol)
How big is baby?
An avocado
Team Pink/blue/green/don't know?
Finding out on the 25th at anatomy scan
Any Upcoming Appointments?
Next family doc appointment is on the 24th, then anatomy scan. I’m still waiting on my first OB appointment, could be a while because they don’t usually take patients until after viability.
Symptoms:
Fatigue is a little better, still nauseous and now heartburn has come to play.
Milestones:
This is the stupidest milestone ever but I’m almost done my first bottle of prenatal vitamins. I love thinking about how far I’ll be by the time the next bottle is done. I’m weird.

swell I concur, names are hard. DH and I caved and started talking names already, even though we said we’d wait until we know the sex. I can already tell it’s going to be a nightmare. We downloaded that BabyName app that’s like tinder, you swipe right on names you like and left on names you don’t and it matches mutually liked names with your partner. Even with that we barely agree on anything.

chriskoo I've never heard of waiting until past viability to see an OB. Is that common for your area? We also got that name app and the majority of the names were not our style.

Finally got to listen to our voicemail... It's a BOY!!Congratulations! I was wondering how to find out at the same time as MH considering it would be a phone call. I did not think of the obvious solution Lol. Haha yup!! She called and we talked about the other results then when she confirmed we wanted to know I asked her if she would mind us hanging up and her calling back to leave a voicemail. She was more than happy to do so! |

Nymeria yay!!! Boy!!! How exciting! flutterfly88 yup it’s standard in my area. Prenatal care options are midwife or OB. If you choose midwifery they will take over all prenatal care from the very beginning of pregnancy. If you choose OB they will co-manage with the family doc. So family doc does all appointments until about 20 weeks, then appointments alternate between the OB and family doc. Unless high risk, then the plan changes. Last time I had GD so saw the OB exclusively after about 24 weeks. And I totally agree the names on that’s naming app are pretty out there. I think I disliked about 50 for every one I liked lol.

flutterfly88The name app has little that I'm interested in too. But I saw you can pay for different types of names to add.
