1. 19.5 weeks (Almost Halfway! Over halfway if I go early like with DD). 2. Baby Boy is the size of stapler. 3. Nothing set up yet. We had our A/S last week and all is well, but I have to go back for some kidney shots. I supposed I should call and set that up...... 4. Still have some nausea here and there. I threw up a couple times last week, but nothing like it was. I'm feeling him a lot more and sleeping is starting to get difficult and a bit uncomfortable. Somehow I'm still waking up on my stomach though.... 5. I've only gained about 4lbs. I'm indulging in treats, but I chalk it up to running after an active toddler, so that's nice.
Random: I've never been a ring fan so I tend not to wear them around the house, on weekends, sometimes at work since everyone here knows MH. I take them off a lot because I just feel like they get in my way.

Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments?
We found out on Friday that we are TEAM PINK! Excited to use my favorite baby girl outfits and bows again (even though the seasons don't match up)! DH left on Saturday for training and we won't be able to see him again until September! I did a lot of crying this past weekend.
Random: Do you wear you wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not if a nefarious way)? I always wear mine. I feel naked without them on the rare occasion I do take them off. 😊

How far along are you? 16w tomorrow
How big is the baby? Can of soda
Any upcoming appointments this week? Tomorrow
Any new symptoms or changes? not really. Same ole same.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? I can feel flutters every once in awhile and I am ready to feel actual kicks. Eeep! Now that we know the sex and have settled on the name everything is feeling so much more real. It's fun.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)? Well I used to wear them all the time except in the shower. They took a long time to fit again after having E and they were still snug. Once I got pregnant and it got hot I took them off completely and put them away. I am currently wearing a band that my H got me that has the coordinates of where we got married. I miss my wedding rings terribly.

How far along are you? 17w2d
How big is the baby? Not sure if the item, but 4.75" according to my book, which is about the size of your hand stretched out, I guess.
Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope. AS is early Aug
Any new symptoms or changes? Starting to feel flutters has been awesome. I've had some sharp side pains when I get up quickly the last week or so, I'm thinking ligament pains.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? Not that I can think of right now. Just wish I could sleep better
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way): only when I'm prepping meat or washing dishes. I'm sure I'll have to take them off again late in pregnancy again.

How far along are you? 19 w
How big is the baby? Heirloom tomato
Any upcoming appointments this week? None this week. One week from today we will know what we are having!
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? Still feel tired most of the day. But I love the movement I have been feeling. Some days I can feel a lot movement and other days I can feel only a little.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)? I wear them all the time. My last pregnancy was in January so I didn't have a lot of swelling. I have large knuckles so I have rings that are slightly larger than they need to fit in order to get them on and off. That seems to alleviate any issues with summer swelling.

How far along? 19 w 3 d
Size of baby? Heirloom tomato
Upcoming appointments? A/s on 7/17. I have major ultrasound phobia thanks to my loss history, so I'm looking forward to getting it over with and dreading it all at the same time.
Any new symptoms or changes? My morning sickness let up at about 15 weeks. Other than occasional heartburn I'm ok at the moment.
Rants/ Raves/ etc? I'm feeling more movement, but it's not consistent, which messes with my PGAL brain.
Random: I usually wear at least my wedding ring all the time, and take my engagement ring on and off depending on what I'm doing. This summer they have started to feel a bit snug whenever I'm out in the heat, so I've swapped them out for a family ring I have that is a little bigger.

How big is the baby? A dill pickle according to Ovia.
Any upcoming appointments this week? I had one this morning.
Any new symptoms or changes? Not really.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? My anxiety has been ramping up, but it's been momentarily put to rest because I heard the heartbeat today.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)? I take my rings off all the time. Basically when I come home I take off my bra and rings and put on comfy pants.

How big is the baby? A game controller according to Ovia.
Any upcoming appointments this week? Last week. Now nothing until August.
Any new symptoms or change? I'm feeling much better, but still worse than I remember the first time around.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? I spent last week a little worried because DD ended up with 'slapped cheek syndrome', which is a harmless virus to all but fetuses under 20 weeks. It was a wake up call for me, I'd just assumed that baby was safely protected from the world.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes? I've never been into jewelry. When I was given this engagement ring I had nightmares of robbers cutting off my hand to get it. It's in a safe, it's been there for years.

Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? I gained 8 lbs this past month, eek.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Not this week, next Monday!
Any new symptoms or changes? I think my stomach is starting to pop, it's still subtle but getting there.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? I'm very happy not to have put on any weight so far. I started off overweight so I worried I'd balloon up but my appetite is mostly down (apart from weird/abrupt must eat now episodes).
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)? I take them off when I come home from work and only put them on in th emorning before leaving the house. Also take them off for the gym/pool if I go during the day.

Light posting for me this week. as I'm on vacation in Delaware with my in-laws. I'm reading along though!
1) 19w
2) hot dog
3) nope!
4) tons of upper abdominal pain this week as things stretch out. Feels like I did hours of crunches.
5) Baby kicks and pokes me several times a day now. It's very weird and distracting!
6) I hate wearing my rings and always have them off at home. I'll wear my wedding band when I leave the house but my engagement ring only for special occasions. I love it but I just don't like the feeling of things on my fingers.

Hey everyone! I'm back from being out of town for my nephew's 1st birthday. Had an amazing time - he's gotten so big since Christmas! I am still catching up on threads so don't mind me liking posts from like three days ago How far along are you?: 17w4d How big is the baby?: Turnip (WTE) / Video game controller (Ovia) Any upcoming appointments this week?: Next one is end of the month. Any new symptoms or changes?: The fatigue seems to finally be getting better, but it's tech week for my show so I'm going to still be tired anyway The bump is trying to show, but not quite there yet. Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments?: I've only gained about 8 or 9 pounds so far (I can't remember the first weigh in exactly). I'm hoping to keep it up, though this past weekend had a lot of junk in it between the party and going out with my family. (According to what I've seen overweight women should only gain 15-25 pounds so I think I'm on track to stay within that, but now that my energy is back I want to start walking in the mornings or during lunch at the work gym to help keep it down.) I haven't needed to buy new clothes yet, but I'm sure it's coming soon... Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)?: I take them off to sleep, shower, and sometimes while I'm cooking and/or cleaning. I hate feeling water under the rings, it feels like it never goes away.

Update. My second BW state testing results came back abnormal. 1:30 for downs. I'm in shock and want to throw up. My dr is referring me to a genetic counselor to determine whether just to do the more detailed BW test or amino. He tried telling me that still means a 97% chance it doesn't have it.

Any upcoming appointments this week? Nope. Anatomy scan is next week and I'm getting nervous.
Any new symptoms or changes? I'm starting to get uncomfortable but I think it's partially because of the heat. Summer has arrived.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? In the last week I've been given a whole pile of mattress protectors, a swing, and a high chair so our house is slowly filling up.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way? I wear mine unless I'm showering, washing dishes, or out in the plant at work. You don't want my diamonds to show up in your salad dressing bottle 😁 I love my rings though. My engagement ring was my grandpas diamond and H just bought me a second wedding band for our 5 year anniversary.

Hugs ldubhawksfan. 97% is still great odds. My Dr told me even elevated blood work doesn't necessarily mean a problem. I have needed genetic counseling for both of my pregnancies. I am AMA and I was with my first, so I am considered high risk. For my first pregnancy the counselor sat us down, asked us a bunch of questions about our family history, and then we had an ultrasound. Next week we will go through the same process for this baby. It is definitely frightening but try to distract yourself. I hope your appointment is soon.

How far along are you? 19w today
How big is the baby? Zucchini/Gameboy/Four-toed hedgehog
Any upcoming appointments this week? Had one yesterday. I've gained 5 lbs. I know its irrational but it caught me off guard. With DD I was still down a pound at this point and with DS I gained 50 total overall. But we did have a nice strong heartbeat at 152 bpm.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still movement only at night and I'm exhausted - but most likely from overdoing it the last 2 weekends.
Rants/Raves/Questions/Comments? Nothing that I can think of off the top of my head.
Random: Do you wear your wedding rings all the time or take them off sometimes (like around the house, not in a nefarious way)? Religiously. I love my rings. My wedding ring was one of my grandmother's rings who passed when I was in HS. It has a unique blend of round and baguette stones.

Sorry you are dealing with this. My best friend had 1:21 odds with her DD who ended up totally fine. I hope Friday comes quickly for you.
