Age: 28 Height: 5'7" Weeks pregnant: 10,5 Baby is the size of a: Lego Man/Kumquat FTM/STM/TTM/etc: First take-home baby Team: GreenAppointments: Sept 25th, standard OB checkup Symptoms: LET ME SLEEP Milestones: I have never been this pregnant, officially. We saw the wiggler wiggle (A LOT) on Thursday before we went out of town for the weekend. It's helped keep some of my anxiety at bay, but I'm still totally nervous for a MMC. We were supposed to wait until our anniversary on Saturday to break out the doppler, but we tried it Wednesday night and Thursday morning before the appointment to try to keep me from freaking out (Spoiler: this was a terrible idea and I ended up kinda flipping anyway, whoops). I'm not sure if we found the HB, mostly because whatever we did find was right next to a vein of mine, so it was kinda hiding under my own heartbeat. I think we will try again this weekend as planned and hopefully babe will have moved a little so that I can start feeling more in control. Rants/Raves/Vents: Mostly the above. Funny story, I think we might have accidentally forgotten to tell my MIL that I'm pregnant. We've told everyone else basically as the stick dried because I was not going to let this kid fall through the cracks if we had another loss. So, we're in the Fire portion of the country right now, so I texted MIL to ask if she's doing okay (she is) and then told her to stay safe and baby loves her. Included the ultrasound. Her reaction was something along the lines of "?????? Serious??? Awesome!!!" with the punctuation abuse and all. So then I asked MrRama if we'd told her and he said, "I thought so," but after I read him the text we both just kind of made a "eeps, uh, whoops" face at each other and laughed. But now she knows! Which also means that everyone in a 500 mile radius will know, but whatev. I'm not planning to make a huge announcement on social media or anything, so word of mouth is fine. We don't talk to most of the people she'd tell anyway. GTKY: What was your favorite moment or thing you did this past summer? I went to PAX West this weekend with MrRama and we had a ton of fun! It was something we'd been trying to go to for years and we finally got tickets through a charity stream (they were giving out prizes for top donors per hour to encourage donations), which was a hassle in and of itself, but it worked out and we had a blast. I'd love to go again next year, but he's not so sure about taking a tiny with us. I think the tickets will be the bigger hurdle! But we'll see how we feel next year, too. ArielMermaid, Happy birthday! sweetc129, I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. All the good thoughts I can send you all. I hope she meets her grandchild, too. woodenshoes, I'm glad to hear your father is recovering well! Always a relief when things go better than the doctors expect.

Age: 28
Height: 5'1 Weeks pregnant: Just had my due date changed again yesterday so I'm 11w2d Baby is the size of a: Lime FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM Team: Finding out Appointments: Had a positive one yesterday w/ ultrasound and things looked good and dating has been better established Symptoms: Sick and love my sleep when I can get comfortable Milestones: Finally heard a heartbeat yesterday Rants/Raves/Vents: Took a break from HIH until I could get to a point where I heard the heartbeat and was feeling less anxious. Just bought a new pair of maternity yoga pants which I expect to be my uniform for the next few months. GTKY: What was your favorite moment or thing you did this past summer? We took some time to go to a resort up north w/out our son and it was a great recharge. We had delicious food/wine and a whirlpool tub in a beautiful suite overlooking the lake, did some hiking and hiked so far ahead of our group we had to be called back (made me feel not so out of shape)...all in all so relaxing.

this isn't HDBD for me, but dang it. My sister is 40 and 29 weeks pregnant right now.
They admitted her to the hospital for full blown pre-e.
Her baby has been measuring small for quite some time but has been meeting all milestones during BPP (biophysical profile scans).
They have her on magnesium sulfate, BP meds, and will start steroids tonight. Goal is 34 weeks... but I'm not too sure if she will make it that long...
I feel bad. Her body doesn't do pregnancy well at all. I can go term, no issues. Ugh. I feel like crying.

So, so, so many hugs yianna. For you and your sister. How terrifying to be hospitalized for Pre-E. Sending all the positive vibes that baby gets to keep growing for 5 more weeks minimum and that both she and baby come out of it all perfectly okay. <3

thanks ladies... it is so scary. I barely held it together when I talked with her on the phone earlier... especially when she said that she suddenly became short of breath -- thankfully she paged the nurse when I told her to do it.. ugh. My mom should be there soon.

Age: 28
Height: 5'7"
Weeks pregnant: 10w6d
Baby is the size of a: Lego man, kumquat
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM (4th pregnancy)
Team: finding out!
Appointments: NT ultrasound a week from today
Symptoms: Letting up maybe a little today? Lots of nausea, breaking out like a teenager, exhaustion
Milestones: every day is another day past my loss milestones
Rants/Raves/Vents: A FB friend wrote an open and vulnerable post about finding out she had a MMC at 12 weeks this past summer. I'm thankful for people who are willing to share about their experiences with loss, and I hope to get to that point, too. It did get my mind going on worrying about a MMC, and I'm counting the hours till the NT ultrasound next week.
GTKY: What was your favorite moment or thing you did this past summer? DH and I went to Comic Con! It was our second year going and it was so much fun. My mom flew in and watched DS so we could go solo, and it was amazing to have a few nights away. It was a little stressful because I got my BFP the day before we left, and I spotted the whole time, but the Con was a good distraction!

cp3 and (I think) polson and whomever else is breaking out, one of my the women from my last BMB rec'd this cleanser Maternal Anti-Blemish Face Wash 6.7oz - For Acne Prone And Problem Skin - Safe And Effective For Expecting Mom To Be And Beyond Pregnancy www.amazon.com/dp/B01FJ5RH6U/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apap_9mNxl6qf1m7zKI've been using it about a week now and although the consistency is... off-putting, it does seem to be helping. My breakouts are all clearing up with no new ones on the horizon. ::Knocks on all the things:: yianna thinking of your sister.

Age: 34
Height: 5'4
Weeks pregnant: 13 weeks
Baby is the size of a: lemon
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: blue
Appointments: had my repeat blood test for high WBC and the panarama test yesterday so now I wait for the results. Otherwise no appointments until the end of the month. After an appointment every week of first tri, it's weird to be just a normal pregnant person. 😊
Symptoms: I think I'm feeling better finally. But last week was also my worst week by far, so maybe just anything feels better than that. Back to mild nausea that gets more intense in the evening. I'm not as exhausted all of the time so yay!
Milestones: I know I'm crazy but I swear I felt him move yesterday. It was exactly where I know he hangs out and happened a few times in a row. But then I went back to feeling nothing and thinking I was crazy.
Also we told my parents yesterday! We mailed them photos of DS with a chalkboard announcement since they live far from us and they both got it yesterday. My mom called me in tears bc she knows how long we've been trying for this one and how hard it's been. We tell my in laws on Friday when they come to visit, then we will share with others! It'll be nice to tell people and not have to hide it anymore. But I'm still waiting a few more weeks to tell work.
Rants/Raves/Vents: surprisingly none this week.
GTKY: What was your favorite moment or thing you did this past summer?
For DS's birthday, we took him to Disneyland. I've never seen him so happy and excited, and that's saying something because he's a pretty happy kid. I can't wait to go back with him. We had a blast.

ArielMermaid, happy birthday!! sweetc129, I'm so sorry about your mom. Thinking of you and your family. woodenshoes, glad your dad is recovering! I hope he continues to do well. yianna, good thoughts for your sister. I hope she can make it, but just know at this point, every day she makes it makes her baby a little bit bigger and a little bit better able to cope with life on the outside. So every day really does count.

Weeks pregnant: 8w5d
Baby is the size of a: Pygmy seahorse.
FTM/STM/TTM/etc: STM
Team: Green
Appointments: MONDAY. I had to have a friend talk me down from begging my OB to move up the appointment.
Symptoms: tired, nauseous, high levels of anxiety, crazy crazy dreams. (I had a dream I had to battle the Mountain from GOT in a sand pit. Cersei had rigged the arena with explosives and when he took his helmet off he had the face of a decaying elephant. WTAF.)
Milestones: 4 days until I get to hear a HB and have an US. I'm trying to be super positive but I constantly want to cry bc of nerves. I also bought a bucket seat for my mom's house so we don't have to worry about moving bases and strollers around this time.
Rants/Raves/Vents: I'm desperate to have a bump and tell friends I'm pregnant and feel the baby move. I just want to be done with first tri. I am an impatient control freak so this basically my personal hell.
GTKY: What was your favorite moment or thing you did this past summer? We moved into our new house. It's older and small but has a great backyard and location. It's so nice to feel like we have a place to live for a long time.
