We are back on the highway and headed to our next camping adventure! I've been really excited to get to this one! We won't be home again until next Tuesday. So I'll be poking in and out of here but hope everyone is feeling well and has a good week!

I was late to my NT scan this morning because I accidentally set my alarm to vibrate. Then the hospital fire alarm went off as soon as I got there. So when I finally got in and she just handed me a small towel and sat down, I was confused because normally they leave and let you take off your underwear, and you get a big sheet. So I just start pulling off my underwear and go to shove them in my purse when the tech turns and says, "oh! No need to do that! This is an over the belly ultrasound." So then I have to wrestle the underwear back on under the tiny towel. Getting naked before I'm asked to is not generally my MO. I blame being flustered and not entirely awake.

I was chuckling too snowyowl ! So funny. I've had so many transvaginal scans in the past year it was amazing to just get the transabdominal for the past couple! I switched to maternity shorts over the weekend....ahhhh. I only have one pair but I like them and I do have other shorts I can wear so I don't think I'll get any more. I won't really be wearing them once I go back to work anyway. Have fun tiffrobot ! Our sleeping woes continue. I was a little annoyed last night b/c DH woke me up around 10 to help with E, who was hysterical. But I was able to calm him down and then this morning DH thanked me for helping last night so I'm not annoyed about it anymore. Right now E is laying on the floor, playing with kitchen tongs and watching Daniel Tiger during mama's mandatory rest time.

DS was back to daycare this morning. I was SO thankful for alone time. I didn't sleep well last night and ended up in my recliner. I went back to sleep after they left. I did get a lot accomplished once I woke up but I'm SO bloated. I am trying to go without my zofran today and I'm not feeling the greatest but trying to push through.

Hi. I'm sooooo tired. I have been up since 1:30am. MH is just getting over being sick (he caught G's HFM) and is being a big baby. I am so over hearing him complain. Then he tossed and turned all night which is what kept me up. I was supposed to go to work today for a few hours but I am too exhausted. I will go tomorrow instead. I am now laying down getting ready to take a nap.

+1 to maternity bottoms. I'm trying to decide if I can wait until labor day weekend to buy clothes on sale but.....
I know it's not Wed but I needed to post. I'm wearing full panel pants and my top is super flowy. I'm failing at hiding my blump all of a sudden. Wtf! I'm only 11w on Wed.
*poof *

I was MIA last week. Between my new job and getting acclimated to our new home, it's been busy. Yet somehow, this pregnancy seems to be going so slow. I realize in a month I'll be all: where has the time gone?!
Anyway, hope everyone is doing well!

Hi all, Happy Monday! sunfrogger You look great! I love your shirt. I am anxiously awaiting next week when we get the results of our Progenity test, and have another ultrasound! It's been a few weeks since we have seen this little one and I am so ready to see them again. In good news, I found the heartbeat on the doppler at 9+5 and have heard it every time we have tried since, which has been reassuring! It was really cute watching DH listen and seeing how excited he was <3

Thanks pinkcat! I'm very shocked by the size of the blump. My NT is next Thursday so hopefully once that's done I can just tell my boss and that's that.

Hey ladies! I had major plans of being productive this morning and then left my wallet at home! Oops! We went to the park instead! Lunch time is lasagna and a garlic breadstick! Yum! The little is going down for nap when mama is done eating. Good day.

I napped so hard today. It was about 2 hours and it was amazing. I am still pretty tired but not nearly as bad as it this morning. Hopefully tonight I sleep.

I did not make it through without Zofran. I was heating up lunch and the smell about put me over the edge. I'm 17 weeks body, it's ok to feel normal.

I swear I'm starting to feel occasional movement. I'm not quite 13 weeks, so I feel like it is too early. Anyone else? ETA: I mean, was anyone else feeling the baby this early.

I feel like bed rest may actually be a blessing in disguise. I have taken a nap every single day and it's been glorious!
Is anyone still having aversions to food in general? Nothing sounds good to me at all and every meal is spent basically forcing everything down. I'm on a mission to find something I like
@rebeccabrunch glad the new night routine is helping you sleep!

Quite an eventful vacation. The tropical storm passed directly over us this morning. Yesterday we were rained out too. The forecast doesn't look promising and I hope it's wrong! I need some sun! We had clearer weather this evening so we walked on the beach. Wife and DS ❤️ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So my appointment was pointless. The nurse and doctor couldn't find the heartbeat. I'm starting to freak out. I'm 10+2 today. I was able to find ds by now. So many others have found the hb long before this. I had more spotting yesterday.
He's having me come back next week to try again. He hasn't mentioned an ultrasound and I'm not one to ever speak up or ask. I get so flustered and anxious at the doctor i just clam up and barely speak. But I really just want to know if this baby is okay. Not knowing sucks. He did say my uterus feels like a 10 week uterus. Whatever that means.
My nausea was barely there today. Which makes me more nervous. Sorry I'm such a downer. I just had to get it out. MH and sister just keep telling me everything will be fine.

I'm someone that generally speaks up but have totally clammed in medical situations and gone home and done a 180 so don't beat yourself up. It's overwhelming. The fact that your uterus felt 10 weeks is a good sign. Also, there's been a number of instances on this board of not finding the HB on the Doppler and all being well. If I was in your situation, I'd call back tomorrow and kindly request an ultrasound. With your bleeding and then the two appointments in a row you aren't being "extra" or "special" asking. Im coming from a place of recently having a missed miscarriage and I just wish I would've known sooner. Im not saying I think this is your outcome, I know nothing!, just that an ultrasound will let you know where you stand either way and hopefully it's that reassurance you deserve and all this unnecessary worry can go away! ETA - forgot to ask, did you already hv a dating u/s? If so, how did that go?

Hi! I am back from my trip! They were not very good at feeding us regularly and I was not very good at padding my travel time enough to have time for food so it was kind of a miserable weekend nausea wise. The trip overall was good though. I think I averaged 3-4 hours of sleep a night so I am exhausted and still catching up on sleep but very very glad to be home.
All I wanted the whole time I was in CA was a giant bowl of pho and it never happened so I dragged DH to get some for lunch. YUUUUUUUUUM.

My doctor usually only does the anatomy scan and no other ultrasounds.

notmoose your doctor seems old school or something. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I'm surprised he/she hasn't offered an ultrasound after two attempts, especially with spotting. When my Dr couldn't get a good reading on the doppler at my 12 week appointment (heard it but lost it) she took me right back for a quick ultrasound. All you are wanting to hear is a heartbeat, it's not like you're asking for anything extreme. So sorry you are going through this stress. As far as feeling like a 10 week uterus, Dr is probably referring to fundal height and such.

notmoose, sorry you are going through this. I agree, try to speak up and ask for the u/s. I'm not the type to do that either but I'm trying to get better about advocating for myself....if it is good for your mental health, it's also good for the baby!
