Weeks/Due Date - 12w4d / June 11
Symptoms - occasional nausea, mostly just when I'm tired (doesn't last long), fatigue, headaches
The Good - feeling significantly better than what I did, am eating much more, and gained back the weight I lost.
The Bad - the headaches are brutal. Hoping once DH gets home and I get more chance to relax that makes a difference.
Milestones/Appointments - saw my doctor today and heard the heartbeat! 160, nice and clear. She was bewildered to hear that I never had my 10 week ultrasound and that I haven't seen the high-risk OB yet. She said she's going to make some phone calls first thing in the morning (it's already end of day here) to figure out what's going on as all this should have happened weeks ago. I did tell her that I spoke to her receptionist 2-3 weeks ago to let her know that I hadn't received the appointments yet and that she claimed there was nothing in my file about at 10 week scan (there is) and that she would check into the OB appointment. So not sure what's going on there, but at least it's going to get straightened out now.
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? Got like 99% of my shopping and wrapping finished. Most of the decorations are up, just waiting on DH to come home tomorrow so we can do the tree as a family. And gotta bake a few dozen cookies for my family's cookie exchange on the 13th.

I'm going to quit lurking and post now! Hi everyone - this will be my third baby, fourth pregnancy (loss this summer that has really messed with my head this time around). I finally feel comfortable joining in now that I've made it to the second tri.
Weeks/Due Date - 13 or 14 weeks. My doctor adjusted my due date from 6/4 to 5/30 at my last appointment and I've been struggling to keep track of the weeks ever since.
Symptoms - Heartburn, random gagging, sleepiness, swollen sinuses
The Good - I'm here!
The Bad - I got sick over Thanksgiving with what felt like the flu, but was apparently only a flu-like virus. It's been rough not being able to take many meds, but I'm finally almost feeling like a real person again today.
Milestones/Appointments - Next appointment is 12/16, and I'm so excited to hear the heartbeat again!
To Do List - So many things! Over the holiday break, we're going to move DD upstairs and then DS into her old room. I also want to clean the carpets and patch the walls in their two current rooms before they move in. I'd like to get all of this done before I'm too big to be overly helpful. Plus, I love cleaning carpets.
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? DH is amazing and put up and decorated the tree this weekend while I laid on the couch. We're over 50% done with shopping, so that's pretty good to me too.

Welcome txaggie08How old are your other kids? Thanks! DD is 8 and DS will be 5 this month. I obviously don't want two in diapers at the same time ever.

Weeks/Due Date - 19w, twins coming between April 1-20ish
Symptoms - mostly just growing pains. Sleeping is hard and even with all my pillows it’s still painful. And so much further to go. I get winded easily.
The Good - I’m feeling mostly good in general so I am trying to enjoy this time before I get uncomfortably large.
The Bad - Sleeping sucks.
Milestones/Appointments - I have my a/s this Thursday so I am really looking forward to seeing the babies for a long period of time. Plus I’m more or less halfway there since I will be delivering early.
To Do List - so many things to do. We really need to get my son switched to the smaller bedroom so we can start turning his room into the nursery.
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going?: just fine. I only have a few gifts left and we got our decorations up this past weekend.

Welcome txaggie08! Your alma mater is one of my clients, so I get to visit College Station. Also 5/30 is my anniversary - great due date Weeks/due date - 13 weeks even/June 9. I’m on my vacation so we’re a day ahead and so it’s Wednesday here and throwing me off Symptoms/good/bad - feeling pretty good but like I’m getting bigger than I’d like already (though I have been able to hide it from most people till now). Obsessively applying bug repellent and trying not to get any mosquito borne illnesses on my trip. Milestones - had our NT scan last week so now we just have our anatomy scan a little early on 1/3. After that we’ll be ‘out’ to everyone. Holiday shopping - not close to done. We have two weeks between getting back from this trip and leaving for the east coast for Christmas. And ‘santa’ has to come to my parents’ house and then we have to get everything back to CA so I really should do some good planning.

Weeks/Due Date - 12 weeks/EDD 6/17
Symptoms - So much heartburn, dizziness, sore boobs
The Good - My OB thinks I’m a great candidate for a VBAC. We agreed that either I naturally go into labor or a scheduled C-section, no induction.
The Bad - I started spotting a bit this week. It started literally at my OB appointment. Baby looked fine and moving around so OB wasn’t concerned. I failed my damn 1 hour glucose test. Ugh!
Milestones/Appointments - I will be seeing my OB and an MFM, so let the appointments begin. I have one every week in December.
To Do List - Rest
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? Pretty good. I got the chunk of my shopping done on Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

You had your glucose test already ttcbabyj? Do you have a history, or does your doctor always do it this soon! I'm pretty sure I won't get mine until 20-ish weeks.

Weeks/Due Date - 8w4d / July 12th. Baby is the size of a small raspberry!
Symptoms - exhausted, queasy, feeling out of breath often, boobs still sore.
The Good - my symptoms only seem to show up in the evenings. Thank God, because I can work during the day with no issues!
The Bad - same thing, my symptoms only seem to show in the evenings. It's bad because that's obviously the only time I get to spend time with H & DS (except weekends), but I am just cranky/not feeling well and want to sleep and I feel bad about it.
Milestones/Appointments - 1st ultrasound next Friday the 13th!
To Do List - nothing really.
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? -- It's going okay. We have our tree up & inside of the house decorated and will do the outside tomorrow. As far shopping goes... not so great, lol. Oct-Nov-Dec has been really tight financially this year so I will not be able to do present shopping until 12/20 when H & I both get our bonuses from work. We'll be cutting it close for sure! 😬

Weeks/Due Date - 10w3d, dune June 30 (will deliver early-mid June)
Symptoms - nausea, metal mouth, still occasional vomiting, sore boobs, and still exhausted
The Good - we've been able to track baby down with the doppler several times, which I thought would be challenging since I'm overweight - so that's reassuring
The Bad - still not able to eat much of anything, and insurance is being difficult on reviewing the pre-determination coverage for the infusions I will need with our history. They haven't said no, they just haven't looked at it at all, and everything is scheduled to start on the 16th
Milestones/Appointments - early NT scan and NIPT on Tuesday
To Do List - call insurance company, schedule early glucose screening and urinalysis before the infusions start (my dr wants to take no chances and also wants to monitor all that stuff throughout because of the extra stuff we need to do)
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? Thank god for Amazon. the tree is up and that's about as far as I got, and I have been able to do 0 shopping in-stores, so I am very thankful for Amazon and UPS and all the people who deliver the things to my front door.

I have to get the gd test at my 12 week appt because my BMI is over 30. I’m only 5’2 so it’s not hard for it to get up there. I didn’t have to with either of my other kids and have no history of GD. I’m kind of annoyed about it but it’ll be fine and I’m sure I’ll pass.

Weeks/Due Date - 13+1/June 13
Symptoms - getting better again. Not as fatigued and the garbage feeling is definitely better. Skin is still meh.
The Good - I have energy again, for now at least.
The Bad - nothing really, except my skin but I’ll deal.
Milestones/Appointments - almost out of first tri! So weird.
To Do List - I still haven’t told my family. Was going to a couple weeks ago when I visited but it was a weird time and my sisters birthday so it didn’t feel right. And now I’m wondering if I should just wait until Xmas when I see them. I don’t really wAnt to tell them over the phone.
Bonus - how is your holiday preparations going? Good! We got the tree up and Maya did a great job on decorating it! I’ve got most my shopping done. Just have SO left pretty much and I have nooo idea what to get him 😩

wasabi we haven’t told our family yet either. The plan is to tell our kids and my parents (who are in town) later this week. We don’t see the rest of our family in person until Christmas so we’re debating whether to call and tell them all or wait till we see them in person.

I told the kids in my family this weekend. I stood in front of them and said "has anyone noticed anything different about Auntie". One of my nieces (9 year old) looks me up and down and goes "you're pregnant! And your boobs are bigger!"

We've told basically everyone who is on our lives on a daily basis. Both parents know, my sister & all my coworkers (I actually sent a pic of my positive tests the morning I took them to my coworkers, lol - we work in a small dental office, there are only 8 of us. They already were suspicious because I stood like 15 ft away from the xray machine after I had a squinter positive 2 days before that, just in case).
We have not yet told DS, I want to wait until after my ultrasound to tell him. I know he understands what pregnancy is/looks like because one of his teachers at daycare is currently very pregnant, but if the worst happened I'm not sure he would understand that so I just want to make sure everything is as okay as can be before I tell him!

I'm really, really nervous for tomorrow's ultrasound appointment. Everything seems to be fine but we've been on the wrong end of the odds too many times now and I'm getting super anxious that something is either wrong or something bizarre will be going on.
I have no real reason to believe that other than that it's happened to us twice now, I have no indication that anything is wrong at all this time.
